cobblers Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've just opened a drawer I'd forgotten about, and found £120 in pound coins from when I sold my old van.

clayts450 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Total network failure at work today, so literally everything including database systems and, more critically, our VOIP phones FTP-ed at 3.30pm. Customers cannot call us, we can't put a notice on our website. Colleagues in our call centre were bussed over to our Derby office as a quick fix. I'm not directly customer facing so my team were told the magical words- go home. Smashing. myglaren, paulplom and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I opened my wallet and found thirty quid. Not as good, but still nice I got cash out ages ago to pay for something and then paid by card.

Not a concern for us, we're not going to lick the floor or be disturbing the tiles so we shouldn't be at risk of any of the asbestos nastiness. I mean heck, I've been around plenty of asbestos sheet garages and none of those have killed me yet. I forgot to add, it's also not unusual for the glue they used to hold them down to contain asbestos. But, as you say, it's not killed you so far....

Bobthebeard Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just back from our annual meet up with two friends. We do a pre Christmas three day short holiday break at Portmeirion. We took the Rover 75 (as we always do, a tradition) because Mrs Beard loves it and it is only used occasionally when going away without the dog. I was a bit nervous as we haven't used it in almost a year and a FTP was a distinct possibility in my mind. No FTP ensued and all went smoothly. It is a British Racing Green KV6 Connie SE early model and lovely IMHO. We were parked next to a Bentley two door coupe thingy and the Rover got several admiring comments from passing folks, the Bentley didn't get a mention. Great!

vulgalour Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Do you want to see what a kitchen waste pipe made of electrical tape looks like? I bet you do. Astonishingly, it doesn't leak, the backboard of the cupboard has instead been ruined by a leak from something else that isn't leaking any more.
