Those two long words you used are exactly what winds people up when working in close proximity. Out of hours they would not matter.

Another flash point for...er, whatever you said, a shared house or flat.

It's pronounced Omega, not fking Omeega.

Serious question Jim, hands up, I've apparently been saying it wrongly by using Omeega, but which is correct, O-megga, or Ommega?

oh-migga or oh-mayga

Alan Partridge arrived to a gig in a "champagne coloured Vauxhall Omigga" so you know, how do we know he isn't right?

People who approach the roundabout near my house assuming they won't have to stop rather than assuming that they will.

Many's the time I've taken a left turn (exits at 12, 3, 6, 9, so enter at 6 and leave at 9) and someone's entered from 9 at such a speed that they'd have collided with me if I was going straight on or right.

The 2nd one.

I'd have broken it down into 3 parts, O - May - Ga, but all said in a rush.

??m???

The electrical term Ohm is derived from it.

It's not - it is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.

Unlikely.

Wikipedia said:

The symbol was suggested, because of the similar sound of ohm and omega, by William Henry Preece in 1867.

Herr Ohm died in 1854.

I can see that there is some resistance to these new facts.

Best not to blow a fuse about it though.

These stickers.

All the mean is the driver/owner is a liar!


Yes, the tools are in the van overnight (unlikely the owner will bother!)
No, there is no "Tracker" installed

This was on a ratty old Transit so no ones going to nick the sodding van anyway, just decant the tools into another and drive away.
