You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

Agreed.

GMG - Trying to watch Netflix and the power keeps dropping out every 20 minuets for about 10 second. Always when thereā€™s a good bit too. Bloody weather.

Hereā€™s hoping Santa beings me a UPS.

Oil has dropped by c.$10 a barrel yet petrol and diesel havenā€™t come down. As soon as oil prices go up, given they are futures, you see petrol and diesel pump prices rise.

Youā€™ve defeated your own initial point.

Fuel in the system right now is already purchased at a higher price. It can take weeks for a drop to occur at the pumps.

The ā€œcheaperā€ fuel is already in the system, yet a rise in crude oil per barrel sees this cheaper fuel getting more expensive immediately, long before the mew higher futures price kicks in.

Itā€™s both early & cold

The heater in my hotel room turned itself on at 3am waking me up. Now I actually need to get out of bed, itā€™s off and freezing :roll_eyes:

Who in their right mind goes from Double Strength to Quadruple Strength squash but doesnā€™t think to update the packaging with a massive warning sticker??

My throat is burning!!!

I remember an American colleague who had never heard of concentrated squash. She offered to make me a drink and poured me neat squash. Downing that eas among the biggest mistakes in my life

Our Sqnā€™s BMFA membership is due for renewal at the end of Dec. Iā€™ll be writing to them to say that the whole of RAFAC is banned from operating drones, so we wonā€™t renew yet

We just renewed our membership - the last guidance was banned from flying them outside - so will continue to use them inside.

True. We havenā€™t got space for anything other than toys inside, so donā€™t need BMFA benefits for that

There is a little bit of wishful thinking in there on our part too I thinkā€¦

When you decide to take two days leave this week, and arrange everything around the 3 days you are working. Only to find IT have also decided to make use of the ā€œquiet timeā€ for some ā€œessential maintenanceā€. This resulted in a day of no IT systems yesterday - and today, they are all broken because the ā€œessential maintenanceā€ didnā€™t go to plan. Now they are conducting ā€œurgent essential maintenanceā€ to fix yesterdayā€™s ā€œnon-urgent essential maintenanceā€.

As such, iā€™m kicking back, drinking coffee and watching my to do list growing - knowing full well that I wonā€™t get any of this done before the end of the month nowā€¦

Thanks IT.
