iainrcz Posted April 29 Posted April 29 What a glorious morning. Feel quite footloose and fancy free. Might go to the garden centre and spend too much money.

Dyslexic Viking Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Drove past a bloke who is out jogging wearing only shoes, underwear and hearing protection. This was the last thing I expected to see today. GrumpiusMaximus, dome, comfortablynumb and 2 others 4 1

Tenmil Socket Posted April 29 Posted April 29 I went out to the car this morning and it was covered in ants… could it be the Demon Shine I used at the weekend? I think it has a cherry fragrance?

How it progressed from a car to a helicopter was a real lesson in "anyone can do this stuff, you just have to learn it", and I use it as an example all the time when people tell me they're no good at fixing things. If a dude can learn how to build a helicopter you can fix your car. A bit like those Royal Navy ads about fixing a skateboard. Jerzy Woking 1

myglaren Posted April 30 Posted April 30 No idea who Tim Roth might be, or Gary Newman. Took a dislike to Gary Oldman in "Leon, The Professional" and haven't a clue what he might look like.
catsinthewelder Posted April 30 Posted April 30 I needed to move my white 405 this evening as it was blocking my trailer in. Its not started for 6 months so I carried a freshly charged battery over and lifted the bonnet to find a battery already in the tray, "well that'll be fucked but might as well try" connected the leads up and was surprised to have ignition lights and even more suprised when it started on the 3rd turn of the key. A bit of shunting around unseized a recalcitrant rear brake and it happily towed the trailer round the yard. Back_For_More, wuvvum, comfortablynumb and 13 others 16
Wibble Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Mrs W got awarded employee of the month today. She works in accounts and wasn’t happy with an invoice for facility services. Turned out a new start manager had signed a contract for £70k a month, for 5 years with a national supplier, without approval, when they were only paying £2k a month to a local firm before. Her reward? £50, a certificate and an invite to the “stars” awards night next February. She is happy that she’s spotted it, protected her colleague’s jobs but the new start manager has been dismissed, which she feels guilty about. Well done her though, she could have just paid it, as it had been approved, but she knew it wasn’t right. High Jetter, LightBulbFun, Rightnider and 13 others 12 4

One of my hats I wear is that of a ‘Forensic Accountant’ and the due diligence of people such as your wife helps to prevent things such as fraud…… not even some AI algorithms would spot that! nomiST, Wibble and myglaren 2 1
Bmwdumptruck Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Only £50 though, when she’s saved the company nearly £500,000!! Well done her, but piss poor of the company really. loserone, IronStar, Cookiesouwest and 2 others 5

Bmwdumptruck Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Oh so it is, my quick ‘add up’ got to £420,000, but yes I was a decimal point out. At £4.2M it makes £50 really derisory. I suppose they’ll say that it’s part of her job description as the company accountant!!! myglaren and Wibble 1 1

She’s a purchase ledger clerk, her manager is the accountant and wasn’t in the day she spotted it and nominated her for the award for averting the disaster. myglaren and Bmwdumptruck 2
