Yipee, you were lost but now you are found
ToughButterCup replied to lakelandfolk's topic in Introduce Yourself
A colleague of mine removed it .... we don't want anyone to be bombarded with PPI rubbish. I should have PMed you to explain before you noticed it. My apologies. Ian -
The Best Excuses you've heard

That wasn't an excuse. It was a reason. *straight face* -
The Best Excuses you've heard

Pressure and support. Expect a little more and give just a bit more support. We were both like that once Ed. -
1. How it all began....

So, this gyroscope, had a bit of a wobble did she? Reassuring, that. -
I'm suffering with a professional whose performance as a ducker and diver rivals that of the average dolphin. He's trotted out some pretty good excuses, mostly of the 'dog-ate-my-homework' type. The latest is 'the-system-ate-your-email' What's the best excuse you've heard?

How to calculate overall cost per m2
ToughButterCup replied to Gone West's topic in Costing & Estimating
Excellent question Peter. And in the calculation of this number hangs a lot of hidden jiggery pokery. And dancing on the head of pins. Here's too much detail on how the 'professionals' work it out from this url For ease of use, I attach the pdf Code_of_measuring_practice_6th_edition.pdf -
Insurance and container storage
ToughButterCup replied to Triassic's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
In answering this question for myself, I almost lost the will to live. There are so many twists, turns, exclusions, differences of emphasis among policies on offer, that I asked our insurance agent to sort it out. The eventual compromise is of the 'least-unsatisfactory' sort. Good luck. -

I kid you not: this is where I get my stone from
ToughButterCup replied to ToughButterCup's topic in Building Materials
Yep, I agree. I've asked him for a go in it - and so far he's always refused. I'm working on it though. -

I've tried for a year not to post this image. I just couldn't take the pressure any more. Goggle and weep. This where I get my hardcore - and a lot more. A lot more The keys are in the ignition, there's a copy of the Daily Mirror on the dash. Please don't tell anyone. -
Hmmmmm. Someone will pile in with the physics and maths of this. If a Landy can do it, so can many other vehicles I suppose. Nowt much special about Landies...... mine (all of them) irritates (..ed) the Hell out of me; the sloppiness in the build, the dreadful design, the leaks [in and out], but worst of all my own utter mindless stupidity in buying many. It (currently a 90) regularly ruins my back, throws a hissy, grabs me by the throat with the number of false earths, drinks diesel like an Oil Sheikh. There are so many better designed, cheaper, more reliable Japanese equivalents. OK their fuel figures have been fixed, but hey, even Germans play that game. Apart from that they're fine
