Been up since stupid o'clock trying to get things done before it gets too hot for me :eek:

Managed to get 3 guns wiped down and photographed ready for sale (lovely bsa lightning, janky old bsa meteor and a brand new stoeger x20) hopefully someone will snap those up as funds are seriously low now :nusenuse:

Spent an hour in conversation with a dickhead who is trying to buy another of my air rifles even though its not for sale and never has been, its bloody hard being polite to some people when all I really wanted to do is shout feck off :(

Came on here for a little light relief
Try shouting feck off!!

I would normally but he's a clever bloke with money to spend and I want a big lump of it, trust me i was biting my tongue the whole time and if my bank account was in a better state he wouldn't have lasted 2 mins before being told to do one

Everything has its price. I’d be asking 5 times its value to get a reaction

Golf.

2022 target achieved with a blistering back nine on a blistering day.

Didn’t realise how well I had done until after I finished.

Could have been even better but I had five putts that might have dropped on another day.

Went to Newhaven Marina for lunch. Should be nice when it is fully developed, long way to go though. Had a pleasant chat with our local mp while having lunch in an Italian restaurant.

Newhaven Marina has a reputation locally for people getting parking tockets when they thought they were in free parking areas.

Can understsnd why there is confusion….this is, or maybe isn’t, a pay and display space right by the marina….

It’s a wall
I know Derek had this issue a while back…no idea why some photos come out 45 degrees ‘wrong’…I have even spun it 45degrees in my photo album and it still does it.

Bizarre.

Jaws resolved it, he told me to hold the phone landscape rather than portrait.

Hmmmm…..so I spin the photo 45 degrees in my photo album and it still posts in the wrong orientation…think there is more to it than simply turning the phone 45 degrees…That addresses the symptoms but not the cause?

iPhones are notorious on some fora for displaying side on if used other than landscape.

yes, indeed we did see those numbers displayed, well done.

I can’t see the signature of your playing companion who filled in your card ;)

I thought that was your age.
You misunderstand - I shot 78 tourists who were wandering all over the golf course. Quite why so many choose to do so when there are literally thousands of acres of wonderful AONB walking country all round is a source of constant puzzlement. Even had a tent with belligerent occupants pitched on the seventeenth tee a few weeks back, they soon moved when it was mentioned the timer on the sprinkler system would be tripping at some point.

At work...
Currently building a 10x8 ft shed.
Done most of the work myself.
Roof needs another set of hands
so my line manager orders the newbie
to drop what he's doing and give me a hand with said roof.
4 x sterling boards to fit, he's on the inside
i'm on the outside, last board to fit.
All going well, he's holding the board steady,
I grab some screws from my
pouch, impact driver in the other hand.
Just as I look up the sterling board slides down the truss and promptly slaps me in the nose.....Bugger! Pissing blood, I whizzed the impact driver down and grabbed my feckin nose then shouted
a few profanities at said numpty.
No heads up, call out....feck all...Tw@t!
This was just after lunch around 2pm.
Told my line manager....That's it! I cant
work with this bell end anymore.
He's inept, dangerous, doesn't listen
and a feckin welder ffs!
After gathering my composure and when
the nose stopped bleeding, I thought....
right you tw@t, you get on the apex and
wack some screws in. Up he goes whilst
I watch from a safe distance...
He put two screws in whilst lying on his side? dropped the impact driver of which
he can't feckin use and slid down the roof
and landed in the garden!?? WTF!
Update....He has been sacked....Hooray!
Why? A few niggly things that he was warned about on his last three supervision interview.
The main reason, smelling of alcohol.
I have mentioned it twice before and two
individual contractors also twice before.
Nothing was getting sorted until he went
in the main kitchen and the manager reported him to my line manager.
That pissed me off as it's like no-one
was taking my concerns seriously.
It has taken another departmental
manager's complaint to finally let
the axe fall.....Not happy as it should have
been done on the first reported incident.

NB...He was breathaliysed on Monday
at work and was three times over the limit.
