sierraman Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If there are a dozen lengths of 2.4m 3x2 CLS in Wickes, how many are we saying will be a) straight b) not split or sappy? Not one single fucking length. I mean what are you honestly expecting to build with fucking bowed stud timber. Kringle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Wickes timber really is dogshit sometimes. I remember ordering a load from them a few years back, probably 40x 4x2s. The bloke turned up to deliver it and after picking through them I just told him to take the lot back - they were all so bent they wouldn't even flipping stack! you'd think twice about using it for firewood!

Was he even awake? Maybe he got a face full of airbag and pushed his hands away from the wheel? Also might have bent the rack/suspension and so couldn't steer where he was going.

Richard Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yes, and made absolutely no attempt to avoid a collision. Driving at a sensible speed is no good if you don't pay attention to what's going on around you. He's a serial dashcam video poster too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collision 1 is her fault, but he's totally exaggerated the whole thing to make for a better video. If he'd only have lightly tapped the i3 brakes at 20 mph he'd have never ploughed in to the white car (collision 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking at my work is absolutely unbelievable - it’s a bit short on spaces for the number of people they’ve crammed in, granted, but the amount of times I see people abandon their car on verges / hatched markings / pavements / etc etc early in the morning when there are plenty of spaces just feet away beggars belief.

sierraman Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Why are some people’s priorities all to cock? Given we are in the midst of Storm whatever it’s called the roof panels on the porch are lifting, they want some roofing screws putting in, or in all likelihood they’ll blow off (no I didn’t fit them, the guy who lived here before...). The wife has absolutely no interest in the actual building being kept in a half decent state, time doing that is a waste of time apparently. The inside of the house, yes that’s kept good but so long as it looks ok it could be falling to bits underneath the veneer. The chimney needs repointing, I’m half the mind to leave it until it falls through the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I left Tescos in November after 16 years of employment. I got to thinking about the retirement pension I had which is run by Legal & General. I'm not paying into it any more, and neither is Tesco, so it's just dead really. My idea is to draw the lot out and put it into an account where Mrs Tet has access to it, should anything happen to me. So, with that in mind I phoned L&G. Sure, no problem, we'll send you the appropriate form out. This was on the 31st Feb. Still no form. Phoned them. Yes, they are sending the form out out. Still no form, apparently it takes TEN working days to get this form out. If it doesn't arrive Monday, then another phone call will be outgoing, maybe not quite so polite this time though. Sodding ridiculous. TEN days to get a piece of paper in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten working days = 2 weeks, so 14 calendar days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
