  1. Facebook, for some unknowable reason, pipes me jobs advertised by the Guardian. They are, without exception, utter bullshit. Transformative change facilitation etc. You have to liaise with stakeholders a lot. The jobs may seem primarily like harmless, disconnected bureaucratic nonsense to enrage the irascible, until one of the ten nurses that these dreg positions preclude could have been employed serving a loved one who has no real alternative. Then the evil suddenly seems more real.
  2. Maximus Ironthumper's last Project Kermit episode (youtube) included getting a bloody tight nut off the end of an engine. I'm aware it may only be peripherally relevant but he's very watchable anyway.
  3. Without resorting to the ideas of commies like Pigot and George, how does society fix this, given how bloody thick most people are?
  4. One doesn't carry them though.
  5. 290-310 was my actual guess if I’m not being a coward about it.
  6. Maybe less but I’ve been biased by everyone else’s guesses.
  7. I thought there might have been some constitutional importance to what you were talking about but I’m afraid that’s exactly the sort of soap opera shite I usually avoid. Let me know if HMRC shuts or I’m not really interested I’m afraid. Thanks anyway though.
  8. I googled it and regretted doing so pretty quickly. Couldn’t bear to wade through who was and wasn’t invited and who would be wearing who. Might I trouble you for the cliff notes?
  9. UKIP Weather used to be excellent. Sadly much trace of it has been expunged from the web.
  10. He knows the score. Personal transport is a massive liberator.
  11. “Nanny”
  12. Screwed or not?
  13. I didn't want to tell you your own business.
  14. On a cheerful note, I've shot with a pair of South Africans a few times and they were quite convivial (if still fairly stoic). The bald blokes at Bisley. I bet someone on here knows who I'm talking about.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    On the dog market, I had a look online earlier and the very obvious thing has very obviously happened. Loads of dogs at a fraction of the prices they've been for the last three years. People fed up with coming back from work to piss and destruction left by hastily bought and poorly maintained mutts.
  16. Middling. It might be OK to you. I had it confused with District 9 for ages, which is dreadful, so it's somehow tainted. edit: Same director as District 9 too.
  17. So when someone says they've never met a nice South African, they mean they've never met a nice (Royal) South African? DiCaprio's character turned out to be OK so that fits with your hint that Rhodesians are a bit easier to love. And the long haired mercenary, Kruger in Elysium is the typification of a true Saffer?
  18. You see. That's still funny now and was at the time. Sod him if he won't let his guard down.
  19. No no. Interested to learn. What's your connection? Have you lived out there?
  20. I'm generalising. Is there a big difference with borders? I just think of any white man in the southern quarter of the African continent as being like the characters in Blood Diamond.
  21. I don't think of South Africans as corrupt as much as I think of them as scary. He'd have shit you up all the same if you'd complimented him on his car, wife and dog.
  22. It won't surprise anyone who has seen my efforts on the cooking thread to discover that I don't wash my baking trays or frying pans. Good tip anyway though.
  23. If you don't screw the ladder down, I assume the mill slides on the ladder and the ladder sticks to the wood?
  24. Do you screw it down to a cut surface?
