Remind me to never read the real good plates thread ....EVER !

Troll posting crappy plates there and it's my fault for pointing this out.

Perhaps I should stop posting altogether.

Noooooooooo! What would we do without your tales of derring-do and nocturnal perambulations and mystery continental solo trips and giant golf-ball Perimids and pasta and Noms?

( Oops! That'll cost me! )

We'd be so much poorer without your input and occasional flounce, Peri. Please don't go.

[Pericoloso]

I''m just having one of those moments, going on a trip soon ,hopefully my enthusiasm battery is recharged by it.

[DickyC]

Peri Please Don't Go by Them.

Followed by Here Comes The Iva.

[Pericoloso]

The ITV documentary has come up with a whole lot of new possibilities of who murdered Jill Dando ,20 yrs later.

A contract by Kenny Noye ?

[Pericoloso]

Not for bassheads it's not!!! A great track to get subs moving to, as is Kicks like a mule by the bouncer and Some Justice by Urban Shakedown, old rave tunes but great bass lines!!
I'll echo what glenrobbo and Dicky said, don't permaflounce Peri because of a knuckle dragging moron!!!!

[Bomma220]

Well, that was a pretty uneventful journey to and from D&D Surrey. On the return leg, we did discover that the old Mercedes Sprinter is easily capable of Mach 0.13. Only by Googling the performance figures, of course

Congratulations on the acquisition of the extra half hour of street lighting Peri, unfortunately it didn't apply to the half hour we were there. Like the dark side of the moon it was, the headlights did a sterling job thankfully.
Incidentally, we did listen to a bit of Pink Floyd, wasn't Dark Side Of The Moon though. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, in fact, one of my favourites.

Anyhow, it's Grandbomma's birthday party this weekend so I'm looking forward to a nice bowl of jelly & ice cream. She loves Lego, so I've bought her something from the 'Lego Friends' range. Not up to Bobbers' level I know, but we all have to begin somewhere I suppose. I'm sure he'll approve.





Airman X?



Good bit of pepper on that, old boy. That'll do wonders for your sneezing

God that song at the puppet!
True dat. I love a bit of bass and love D&B. It gets me every time. (Got a Sonos 3 speaker for that).

In other news. Baby. (Not sure if I mentioned she had a miscarriage last year)
Went for a scan (13 weeks) and saw the baby moving. fking cool. My Mrs has a huge smile on her face. Bless. (All good by the way)

In other other news I’m watching all of Suits because A) I have a man crush on Harvey Specter and B) I watched S1 years back and couldn’t remember Lady Markle.
Anyway. She’s got the weirdest smile ever! She reminds me of Wallace (and Grommit).
If it wasn’t so fking hot here I’d wear a three piece John Ford suit every day and say “Excuse me?” and “Lewis, what have you done” to random plebs.

Goodnight!

[Bomma220]

All the very best wishes with the baby, Bongtom old chap.

Goodnight? Hellfire, I don't know if I should be going to bed, getting up, having a fried breakfast, having a nice a cup of Horlicks and a Hobnob...

Never mind, I'll no doubt receive a phone call soon putting me in the picture.

"Where the bloody hell are you Bomma?"

"I'm in bed, where the blazes do you think I'd be at this hour?"

"IN BLOODY BED? AT HALF PAST TEN IN THE MORNING?"

[Bobberoo99]

Great news bongtom!!
I do like a bit of D&B myself very partial to Chase and Status and Sigma!!

[glenrobbo]

Giving the Horlicks a good Hobnobbing is the best option.

Try to hang on a bit longer old chap, we should be getting a re-supply of fresh bedding later this afternoon. Should get a good night's kip tonight.

Anyhow, shouldn't you be down at the Pan by now having a proper look at the Sunderland? It won't mend its bloody self you know

I'd come and give you a hand but I know very little about Pegasuses.

Pelicans, yes. Pegasuses, no. Bugger all I'm afraid.

Ah, here's Matron with a nice mug of tea and my medication. Splendid. See you all later, Happy Half Hour at the B&L don't forget.

17.00 to 23.00. Which half hour is 'happy' is entirely down to Frank's discretion.

[Bobberoo99]

Happy hour and Happy half hour are a bit of a misnomer, I've never actually seen frank smile and the only time I've seen him laugh is when the Colonel fell off his stool!!!

And the fun and frolics continue, management are trying to convince us to run three machines between two operators, their offer................................



5%



and then they were confused as to why it was rejected!!!!

They are offering five out of every hundred what exactly?

[DickyC]

Steady on, old boy. When I watch television and eat snacks I still only qualify for my basic salary. That's according to management here.

A 5% uplift would be most welcome.

[DickyC]

Whenever I've had the odd pop at posters' pathetic posts I've drawn criticism of the "you're a bully" variety.

T-195 gave his opinion in the Classics Rotting thread in GG. it added nothing to the debate. I wonder how he and the Guardians of the Glib view sarcasm.

[glenrobbo]

He didn't say it was a 5% uplift.

He said they are offering 5%

That could mean a 95% reduction.

But it could be 5% of anything.
We need specifics. We need to know.

[Bobberoo99]

So then to clarify the on-going situation, the wkers managers here wish to cut costs on manufacturing, they wish to eventually have one highly skilled operator/setter/problem solver with around four button pressers and six machines to take care off, this is their ultimate aim, to get there they wish to convince us that it's mutually beneficial to reduce the number of staff at the machines while continuing to produce quality, accurate components in a timely fashion, this isn't happening currently for many reasons, chief among them being the fact that the issues they were made aware of at the beginning of the year remain unresolved, their answer is to try and tempt us with a pay increase to use two operators per three machines and their offer for this increase in work load.........................5%.
