Morning all,

Remember that job I wanted? Got it. Resigned on Friday and I should start on 5th December. I've been here (Australia) just over 2 years now and this is the job I was hoping for in the next 2 or 3 years so I'm really pleased. Just hope it all goes ok.

Happy chappy.

Enjoy your day 8-)


Brilliant news. :D

For my response to the same news I refer the honourable members of the forum to the Radom Sh!t Thread that I posted some time ago.

Another thanks in here to everyone who's posted in the FPOTD thread for the support, I do genuinely appreciate it. I'll also refer you to the Random Sh!t thread.

Driving to work and the cars hit by a wave, I had my window open at the time do I got a face full of sea water. And now I've spilt a hot coffee into my lap. My poor bollocks.


I'm truly sorry and I know I shouldn't laugh but that should be in a comedy sketch :D

If I had my way we'd be in hammocks on a fully rigged ship. :D

It's my GF who's a bit worried about it, the best sleep I've ever had has been on ships, the rougher the better. Well, maybe I shouldn't hope for it being too rough. :lol:

Probably best not to grouse at your GF, if her vomiting is keeping you awake. ;)

Have a good one, Dan.

Cheers Dave.

Lol, aye, I'm sure she'll be fine. I told her I'd seen something ages ago about there being an optimum rocking motion that triggers sickness in some people so if it's faster than that it's ok.

I do remember watching it, not sure that was the exact conclusion but it seemed to help her. :D

First day back at work and it appears yet again every muppet under the sun has forgotten their passwords.

Today will be fun

But its traditional for everyone to forget their passwords after a break :lol:
also a consequence of companies that insist that they have multiple account names and passwords for one individual. At the last count I think I have 12 different logins let alone the passwords :x

Its also why I thank god my laptop has a fingerprint scanner so I can associate certain logins with different fingers.

Looks, hopefully, like the thermocouple has gone (from my limited knowledge) so ideally it won't be too expensive. :?

Hope you're right, Dan. About 6 or 7 years ago, I remember the engineer coming out to change what was essentially a bit of bent coathanger wire wrapped in ceramic - it was £175 just for the part. :shock:

Have a good one.

Thankfully we've had a good plumber for several years now, he was passed onto us by someone the GF worked with shortly after we just moved up and I'd had to tell another guy where to stick it when he tried to fleece us.

The current one services the boiler every year and has pretty much come out whenever we've asked him too so hopefully it won't be too bad. I should get myself registered, just checked online, if it is the thermocouple it only costs about £10.

Obviously no doubt getting on for 10x that when labour is included, I would charge a little bit less. :lol: ).

This is why I ahve always had a service contract on the boiler - it "forces" me to get it serviced annually and if something goes wrong then its free to fix - its the only item I do have on a service contract as I know without it I would not get the boiler serviced regulary and would probably either get myself blown up or suffocated

True. Ours is getting on a bit so getting it serviced every year has helped and our guy has always been reasonable (what's the betting after saying that he now adds a '0' to the end of the bill? :D

Ideally we'd get it replaced but at the moment it's a choice between a boiler and uPVC windows (we still have wooden framed ones and I'm damned if I'm painting them again :lol: ).
