It's a bit like asking for a deep fried mars bar, but requesting they only use extra virgin olive oil.

I think that's classed as a salad, one of your 5 a day.

Do you see many Scottish cars in Scotland Chunks?

Hillman Imps or AC ME3000s ?

ION, I had a sugar free Irn Bru earlier. Is this not a little erroneous?

See the odd Hillman Imp.

Sugar free Irn Bru is like orange water. It's not right!

Hillman Imps ARE odd.

Fancy putting a sort of pump engine in the back of a car.

So are Jaffa cakes apparently.

What happened to 'better together' PP?

Segregated already!

[iva cosworth]

I saw a Volvo XC90 [or summat] with a flat tyre beside the A3 today,jack underneath it,parked right by L1

of a 3 lane NSL DC.

It was still there about 2.5-3 hours later on my return trip.

You'll always be a part of me you big stud.

Ooh, mushroom soup with heavily buttered, thick slices of bread. Wonderful.

Much as I would like the heavily buttered bread I cant
I am back on my diet again so no butter and very little bread for the forseeable.

I had some of the tomato soup for lunch, despite being made in a very healthy way without cream or butter etc it was very tasty.

So, apparently this year, each of us undergraduates gets trusted to use the £750,000 NMR testing machine in the laboratory. This machine is not only incredibly delicate and incredibly sensitive to contamination, but can also kill you in a variety of interesting ways.
Oh, and it contains a magnet powerful enough to stop the watch and wipe the credit cards of anyone who gets within 2 metres of it.


This could be interesting!

Put your wallet in a safe place (well away from the field) dont take any keys, coins or your mobile into the scan room and be very careful, I know you are into your heavy engineering make sure you are 100% sure you have never had any bits from grinding or any welding flashes in your eyes.

It is very interesting using these big magnets, I put about 20 people a day into one

Thanks for the heads up!

Dare I ask what happens if one does have any swarf in their body?

I suspect it tries to come out using the shortest path possible.

As long as it has been in your body more than about 6 weeks you will be fine, the scar tissue around the swarf will hold it in place. Your eyes on the other hand dont form scar tissue, you really dont want a bit of metal flying around your eyeball in random directions.

And messiest... often wondered, what about glasses, belt buckles and zips?

[Fun Bus]

Evening. Seeing as my work situation remains unchanged with nothing on the horizon, I've booked to do my driver CPC so I can continue driving on agency.

Now. What annoys me is that it's costing £325 for a 5 day course and I already have the transport management CPC, aswell as having been in transport for 12 years. And, when my next career move comes up, I'll have no use for it anyway.

And that, is trivial.

I always get my patients to take their glasses off, some of the specs with springloaded arms can be pretty magnetic, belts we get them to remove them as they can be quite magnetic and it is really off putting when you get put in the scanner and your belt buckle starts twisting around! Zips arent usually a problem unless they are over the bit we are scanning.

Tonight I am mostly running




to and from the pharmacy to collect prescriptions for patients. After chest pains, ambulances, unhappy people and sick people. I love my job.
