junkyarddog Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Went to the local cars and coffee meet today. My little piece of mediocre 70's Japanese motoring got a rosette! Not very often things like this happen to me,my cars are generally borderline scrap. Oh,this was in attendance too!! I'm not really a fan of supercars,but this was something special,a thing of beauty. Remspoor, M'coli, Saabnut and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money donated to the Church tends to end up funding the pastor's lifestyle. See recent scandal involving SPACNation, for example. I listened to a podcast on bbc sounds, the missing cryptoqueen short version, Dr Ruja Ignatova sets up a rival to Bitcoin called OneCoin , it goes viral , billions of euros worldwide flood in , only it's a scam , they have no blockchain and the coin value is made up, people see their investment skyrocket only they can't spend it and the can't withdraw it so it's just numbers on a screen. Dr Ruja legs it never to be seen again while looking for her they go to africa , literally a village made up of a dozen houses in the middle of nowhere and they all own OneCoin , some have sold their farms to buy more based on the strength of previous investments They go to the salesman , yes it's a pastor who happens to be driving a new Range Rover louiepj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Anyone remember keep fit windows? Windy handle on my T2 broke, I fitted a 'proper' direct replacement, a plastic effort that looked like the old one & the knob came off that almost first time. Now I have bought custom window winders from AliExpress! Fuck knows how long these will last, but they look like they just might be machined from a solid billet of aluminium, arrived in under three weeks and instead of costing £54 from VW Heritage, cost just £9.01 inc postage from China!

Parky Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We had a diversity survey sent around the office by HR. We were busy so basically everyone ignored it. We were read the riot act today for not completing it and ordered to do so. Some had expressed concern about their nationality or sexuality being in the public domain but we were assured no names would be recorded, it was for HR’s records. So nobody would know who submitted the survey then? That’s good...... I had no idea I was a disabled Chinese lesbian Muslim and two of my workmates are Mongolian Jewish dwarves. But according to HR they are now! I expect we will have to do it again later this week.

The same details every year. With 24,000 employees angry with the sheer amount of surveys and diversity workshops to attend, I am sure I wasnt the only one.

catsinthewelder Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If the result of the survey is that HR make a chart showing half the employees are from ethnic minorities, 40% are gay and 35% are disabled then that could be seen as an advantage as they won't need to make an effort to increase those numbers ?

Wack Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Took some parcels to the post office , the woman behind the counter has lost weight and bought a new dress , black and very tight , she's about 30 and looks fantastic in it , all tits, and arse , not sure me standing there with my mouth wide open having a moment was what she's aiming for but she's got a body that would stop traffic so I can't imagine I'm the first today to go a bit weak at the knees Roobarb, richardthestag, somewhatfoolish and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I do similar with supplier questionnaires for customers that don’t make human contact, nothing ever comes of it so I assume no one reads them. Average number of employees? 2.5 Do you have an equal opportunities policy? Well no, but that’s because there are two of us and a written policy seems like a waste of time etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 We had a girl in the office known as Marvellous. Imaginative lot weren’t we? it was true though, she was just un-be-lievable in every way. Even though all the guys listed after her, she was just so far out of our league we didn’t even try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Anyway, speaking of grins, two months after being shunted off the road by a fucking idiot, my fucking idiot insurer, in conjunction with fucking idiot repair shop finally agreed a final valuation on my car. Well short of where it should be. Mention of misleading brochure wording and the review of it by four insurance professionals, each of whom recommended approaching the ombudsman ensured the final payment was reviewed to exactly what it should be. All I need do now is send off some papers and we’re all done. Next up is finding something for two grand to get Mrs P mobile again, needs to be comfy and reliable so am thinking Corolla or Yaris as they always seem to be the answer don’t they?

Parky Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I can’t get a Kelisa, Mrs P knows they are a bigger fanny magnet than the Satsuma GT and a fat 46 year old in one of those would cause so much consternation and sheer bloody lust from the women of East London that productivity would be significantly reduced and crash the economy or somesuch.

Mrcento Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Honestly can't decide what estate with leather bum heaters i want between the 406 and Vec, so done the responsible thing and looked at what the insurance would be if i bought both.... Because nothing says WINNING like a man with 2 estates. For once, the insurance aren't doing the thing where i can have 1 car for around £300-350 and wanting 2 grand for each and every car on top of that and would let me have more than 1 at a reasonable price..... ffs, i was hoping it'd put me off the idea ?

Not only did that make me grin, it kind of made my day. Im always trawling the for sale ads here in the US for an early Corolla like that. I had a 75ish as my first car. It was bright orange and was know to all of my mates as Cyril. To see one in such peachy condition is a real thing of wonder. Thanks for posting!
