The lovely sunshine earlier reflected into my eyes, after it bounced off the metal of my Jaguar's gear selector, and the polished wood trim. This was mildly irritating for a few seconds.
'Lovely sunshine'? Pah! It has been 38c in the shade every day for two months here! Just yesterday I was in the garage fitting a new radiator to my hot rod (due to overheating problems) dripping sweat hither and yon.
The problem: Should I have one electric fan pointing at me to, prevent my body melting, or do 3 fans work better in triangular formation, or do they simply cancel each other out??
Or should I simply air-con the whole workshop???

Doc says I must consume more fibre. I now regularly eat All-Bran, apples and walnuts. Unfortunately a side effect of this is excessive trumping in the workplace. There have been several complaints.
Surely that's a bonus. Plenty of ammo for crop dusting runs and lift mines. IanUAE said:
I have a company golf tournament in a couple of weeks. Question is which 1 of the 2 sets of clubs do I use (not used either for about a year so will be rubbish with either set)?
The cheapest set obviously, if you are gonna be rubbish you dont want to show up with a posh set of clubs and get taken for a poser with more money then skillKing Herald said:

Oh the shame.
We had a live in maid for six months. 17 years old, slim, dark, dusky, pretty, quiet, 50 quid a month... .....but the wife noticed my wandering eye once too often and she is gone now. (The maid, not the wife)
Now THAT is a shame mate.

That's what I was thinking ! (And then I thought of asking if there were any pics, but didn't).I think I'd struggle to have servants. I've Indian friends who say it's pretty normal over there even for the middle classes thanks to the low cost of Labour, but I think I'd end up raising a full-on Commie revolutionary if I had someone paid to clean up after me.

i'm presuming this is in some kind of foreign land expat community.... or perhaps yes you have to pay her £50 a month but then you kind of need to adopt her basically, feed, board... basically like having another teenage daughter who has £50 pocket money. Sounds less sexy when you say it like that.
Very much so.Chris Type R said:
