 I am grumpy right now. Because under my name it has the number of posts I've made, the number of times I've been thanked and the number of warning points I've had.  Zero (at the moment)

It's like for me there is an option that I might collect them, whilst nobody else seems to have that feature.

You can only see your own warning points.

I want to see everone elses now !!! 

[Guest Hooli]

I seem to recall when they appeared the green people said it's a feature we don't use so no one has any. Well except someone who demanded some so they could feel special, but I can't think who that was.

[beko1987]

I'm sure if you ask a mod nicely, or call them a cunt they'll give you a warning point so you can tick that box!

In other news, several times tonight my clutch pedal didn't fully raise up after being depressed... The bite point went lower too when this happened. Hooking it back up the last few mm fixed it, and other times it was utterly fine.

 

Perplexing, can I squirt wd40 at the pedal and make it fixed? Will see what it's like tomorrow... Still drove fine mind

I gave someone a warning point because they wanted one. Can't think who but I'm sure they'll make themselves known when I win the lottery and everyone without a warning point gets five grand

Return spring fucked?

Another work related grump, they've changed the shifts about. It used to be:

 

Early Shift, Mon to Fri - 7:00 - 14:30

Back Shift, Mon to Thur - 14:30 - 00:00

 

It is now:

 

Early Shift, Mon to Thur - 7:00 - 14:00 

                   Fri 7:00 - 16:15

Back Shift, Mon to Thur - 13:50 - 23:20

 

Why a long Friday? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!

 

[beko1987]

Return spring fucked?

I have no idea what or where that is, but it sounds much easier to repair than, say, the clutch!

[Guest Hooli]

Every car I've known has a return spring on the pedal to lift it up so it's not 'hanging' on the clutch mech.

[Captain Furious]

Just for you(and the rest of teh internetz).

I only work 36 hours a week, essentially the only reason I've stuck around as long as I have...

 

I don't really mind doing long hours, at my old job I used to do 7:00-4:30 but I was busier and the work was less tedious. Having said that I also ended up doing 12 days on 2 days off which pretty much finished off the remains of my social life and meant I never had the time to work on my cars which fell into disrepair...

I quite like back shift in winter time 'cause it's dark and miserable by 15:30 anyway. At this time of year it is depressing as you miss the vast majority of the sunshine, I try and wake up at about 10ish which gives me three hours of productive time in the morning to get ready/work on cars/maintain the flat etc.

 

I'd rather do the Friday shift on Monday, just get the long day out of the way early...

I'm sure if you ask a cunt nicely, or call them a mod they'll give you a warning point so you can lick that fanny!

I think they might have been a Dave idea, and since he parted ways with us they haven't been issued much of at all.

I think they were a 'three strikes' thing.

That has the whiff of a self adjuster playing up, may the Lord have mercy.

If you ask Fish for a storm, you won't get one. You have to ask for it to get hotter.

Oh, really?

[Zelandeth]

Bloody sodding intruder alarm.

 

Phone line has dropped out, probably BT doing some maintenance.

 

Alarm goes nuts, sounding the internal siren and excitedly proclaiming "telecoms failure!" on the display. Punching in the code silences it.

 

...until the line comes back up for ten seconds before dropping again.

 

We're on the fourth cycle of this game so far this time.

 

I think about thirty one night is the record.

Direct lightning strike to the building today. AC power stayed on fine though it tripped the big breaker* from the batteries so everything that runs on DC went out.

Main core router, secondary circuit router, BRAS, PON core.. not a fun afternoon to recover from. It's 8pm and things have just settled down.

*Think the big one in Jurassic Park they had to throw to make everything come back on. This one is stamped "8000" and that's not the model number.

Buy that grand move! Think of the hoovers you could move!

It might even need... cleaning...

This is what Beko needs.

Id happily get another car, bit bored of the gooner although it ticks many boxes. Clutch was utterly fine this morning! Off to Worcester on Sunday so I'll see how it is then! Might move the aa card to the glove box from my wallet

Don't want to jinx anything, but Mrs N's old Gaylander2 did that a few times before the concentric slave cylinder failed - both times.

I don't even know if Lagunas have such a thing, so let's be positive and assume it's a return spring somewhere.
