nod Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 ive two two Rubi wet cutters one quite old The other is zero dust In truth They don’t get used much Useally just for mitring limestone The thin cut and turbo grinder blades are so precise Most tilers prefer to use them The zero dust are handy if you have no nearby ventilated area to grind or wet cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I once said "Ooops" when I had made a mistake in a team building exercise, and I got a distinct impression that it was insufficient self-abasement. Umpteen apologies and bootlickings were apparently expected, and I think they would have been happier if I had done a self-imposed Joan of Arc solution. Like a forerunner of modern politics.

Sue B Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I used “I’ve made a bit of a boo boo” on Friday when confessing I had sent an email to all parents in our primary school and in the sixth form. I suspect I will find out on Monday that Boo boo and the Ooops in the body of the email will not have shown enough gravity in confessing my error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organisers went apeshit looking for the culprit. Kobaayashi Maru mate! I was sent on a course like that, on Dartmoor, with the raft having to cross the Dart to rescue a "casualty". In our case all the teams worked in parallel against the clock (and each other) to build the standard "four oil drums, two planks and a length of rope" raft. By pure luck, that summer I'd been part of a raft race team (the annual one organised by Truro Rugby Club back then). As a part of training for that race we'd worked out a very quick way to lay out the rope in a zig zag, place the drums and planks over the rope, then lace the whole lot together through the open ends of the loops, pulling the resultant lashing tight at the same time. Seeing that our challenge was pretty much identical, I quietly briefed our nominated team leader and he agreed that we'd use the same method. Not only did it work very well, but getting our raft into the water about 10 minutes ahead of everyone else caused a load of panic. One team tried to prematurely launch their raft only for it to fall apart as soon as it got in the water. One of their team members opted to remove his shirt and trousers and wade in in his underpants to rescue the debris, only to then discover that his Y fronts went see-through when wet. Everyone else said we'd cheated... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
