RIP Galaxy S6. Had a slight disagreement/mishap with the patio floor.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You have my sympathies - I know exactly how that feels as a result of my sister's actions after I lost my wife. I'll never forget what she did and how she tried to come between myself and my young sons. Having said that, it was a long time ago and to be honest she very rarely enters our minds now so I hope you'll be able to find the same sense of peace that we have. :hugs:

Only a small moan: The bulb in the freezer's just blown. Can't remember when I last replaced it but I know I used a standard 15W pygmy as a proper, expensive freezer bulb only lasted a month before it. Blooming rip off.

People swimming back stroke in a busy pool, assuming you'll get out of the way and look out for them. If only they'd meet another one coming the other way...

Usually it's OAPS, who've paid diddly squat to get in, who'll be going for free bus ride in a bit; then watching their free tv; with their free winter fuel payment, in their massive empty house and their very generous pension ... Ooops there I go again ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good grief you have really excelled yourself today Mr K as you really should be a happy Larry instead of being rather miserable coming up to Christmas.;)

this is me happy. :)

(at the thought that one day backstrokers will collide, just wish I was there to see it ;) )

Terrible luck denphone

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly they cannot get it in tomorrow as the garage is closed so Wednesday will be the earliest it will be seen so it looks like they will be driving a courtesy car back to Hampshire on Thursday.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Unfortunately cars will choose the time to go wrong inconveniently. At least a courtesy car is better than none at all.

My Moan: Some TV channels that are wall to wall charity adverts. Repetition is a big turn off.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Family members who come to stay and then spend most of the day sleeping. Ugh. And then drop the remote to the TiVo so it gets damaged and also we have to watch what they want to watch. I want to go bed but can't because she wants to watch bloody MOTD.

Am I wrong to want to send her back home tomorrow, a week ahead of schedule?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm so worried about my dog the wee one felt a lump on his rib cage and hubby has confirmed he has one, hopefully the vet will be able to tell us if it something we need to worry about or not. I really hope it's nothing to worry about but he is getting old now, we have had him for nearly 12 years and we don't know his exact age as we got him from the cat and dog home.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh weenie how awful, hopefully it is just a harmless cyst and requires no further attention. :sorry::hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fed up with Harry Potter films on STV every night,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Predictable uninspiring programming IMO but alas quite a few channels have adopted that attitude this Christmas nash.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fed up with soap operas filling the channels every evening all the year round - one leading into to the other. They are the leading cause of diabetes and dementia in the inactive masses, not diet..

They should blank all tv for an hour every evening - call it 'exercise hour' - will it work or would the lazy so and so's just put a dvd on ? ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your dog is okay

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just spent 12hrs reinstalling Windows on my parents PC and 7 of those was getting the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work..... :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your dog is ok ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My sisters Labrador has quite a big lump on his rib-cage. Been there for a couple of years. The vet said that they could remove it but that it's benign so unless he really suffers she's letting it be. Old feller is 12 years old and is getting tired on a long walk but still game. Hope it's the same for yours weenie.

Moan: My main PC's clock stops about an hour after it's turned off. It's likely that the coin cell battery on the mobo's run down although speedfan says it's 2.95 volts but that's probably off-load when the PC is powered. I'll have to pull the covers and replace it. Not really an issue but does highlight the age of the machine. Soon be time to build a new one and update the OS.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Still got to fix the fan oven yet from when that stopped spinning just before Christmas, wonder what goes next!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

With luck it could just be that the bearings need lubrication. The heat tends to dry them out and as the motor has very little torque when starting they just stop. They are protected in that state so it aught to be OK.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It is heero thank goodness the vet said that my dogs lump is just fatty tissue he did say that these a quite common in older dogs.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes it is quite common in older dogs as one of our late beloved dogs had a bit of fatty tissue which looked like a lump..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Den the wee one is delighted that his dog is going to be okay although he was annoyed when the vet said that our dog is overweight LOL but I doubt that he will stop feeding him what he does not like on his plate at dinner time, or the slices of cheese he gives him when he is making roasted cheese :) I did laugh at my hubby's answer when the vet said this as his reply was well maybe we have fed him a bit to much over Christmas, I just thought no he gets fed to much all year round.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not just dogs either... :D

I have been devastated since Hogmany , my best friend of 50 years took a massive stroke and passed away on Monday, I just cannot believe this has happened. We were so close

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am so sorry to hear this devastating news nash as my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh nash, nothing I can say could possibly help but I do wish I could give you a real hug. :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Commiserations.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this. :( I know it's little comfort but at least your friend won't have suffered too much. :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Makes my anger over work look trivial. Sorry nash and sorry dilli. Hope things improve for both of you quickly.

Mine is that if I was allowed to, I would be resigning with immediate effect and signing on tomorrow morning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everyone, Your thought really help me cope,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Chin up, don't make me come down there

Sorry for your loss

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh nash I'm truly sorry for your loss, I lost my best friend 8 years ago due to undiagnosed cancer and when she was eventually admitted to hospital with severe stomach pains it was then she was told that she had cancer that had now spread to her liver, within 3 weeks we lost her. I remember feeling a number of emotions, how could life be so cruel and take someone so young and with a young family away, in shock at just how quickly we lost her, I also remember crying all the time even adverts set me off.

I was left in total shock and disbelief for a long time after her passing nash but as time has went on I'm grateful for the wonderful memories I have of our teenage years and the fun we had together when we went into pubs underage and standing outside saying to each other do we look 18, the meeting of our husbands, having our first child within 8 months of each other, clocking in for each other at our first place of work when we were running late, the list of memories is endless.

Nash no one can take your pain away but with time you will look back at all the wonderful memories you shared. I remember when asked by her husband if I could say a few words at her funeral and I thought what can I say so I was truthful and said what made Lynn so special to me was the fact that when all others were heading out the door she walked past them and headed straight to my side that was my friend.

Your in my thoughts and prayers nash :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Weenie, I really have lovely memories to look back on, Teresa was a person when we would meet up, she would always say". It's lovely to see you and gave a big hug". this was from the heart from both of us, She lost her husband 4 years ago and she really never got over it, They say time is a great healer, but right now it hurts so much, Thanks again Weenie,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know honey I just wish I could do simple things for you right now like make you a cuppa and give you a shoulder to cry on & give you a wee cuddle x

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Tried spinning the fan with a screw driver again, even though it was really stiff i wasn't able to fix it and assuming it had got stiff from no use over the last month or so.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Your words are fine. Thanks ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ok, i turned the oven on by mistake and it has started spinning again....for now! :)

Might not have for much longer, after the way I yelled at my manager today I'm expecting a disciplinary hearing for it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You really can't say things like that to your employer you need to keep it professional.

I thought you left before Christmas?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't think he'd last long as a subcontractor like myself. I have to sit there and take all the sh and brickbats that come my way and patiently explain to the client why it can't actually be done the way they think it can and why the way I'm proposing is the better solution.

I'll put the phone down and then explode.

Even then they may demand it's done their way. The only satisfaction I get from that is when it fails and they then have to pay again to do it my way.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes tact and diplomacy is required at times as one should never go into situations like a bull at a gate as that usually backfires IMO.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Please be careful Mark in how you speak to your manager as they could report you for feeling threatened in their working environment. Feeling threatened includes verbal abuse. I know you say it's only yelling but it could be classed as verbal abuse as your manager could say that they felt feelings of fear, intimidation and stress while you were shouting at her (I assume it is the same manager that you yelled at) what I'm saying Mark is be careful as you really do not want anything on your work record that could be related to bullying.

Employers have a responsibility to their employees to make sure that they feel safe at work that includes both you and management. IMO someone shouting at his/her manager could be seen as threatening behaviour that's just my opinion.

Honestly Mark please try and count to 10, then take a deep breath and if that does not work just walk away rather than put yourself in that position again, that's what I would do.

They say the sending out of PIP claim forms to people would be done randomly but myself and many of the disabled people l know all received our forms near enough at the same time.

Yes l will let you know dilli and if you require information don't hesitate in contacting me through the usual channels.:)

People..

I nearly missed my train yesterday because a family with two pushchairs was standing at the top of the down escalator into my local DLR station, loudly discussing how to get the two pushchairs down, while ignoring the signs pointing to the lift. I don't mind that so much, they may not have noticed the signs. It's the fact they didn't notice the large crowd of people building up behind me and realise they were blocking the way.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

PC wouldn't boot this morning, couldn't find a boot record on the HDD. I went into the BIOS setup and the HDD order seemed to be wrong, trying the D drive before the C (SSD). Set it to boot preferentially from the SSD and the whole thing burst into life. Stangely Windows seemed to struggle to access my D drive (500G data buffer), did it eventually and all the data seems intact.

The system has recently had the clock and date not running when powered down. The battery shows 2.9v in the BIOS and speedfan but I'm going to change it as it may be corrupting the CMOS now. It is the original battery on the mobo* from a few years ago so could well be on the way out.

Think it's time to look at a new PC build.

*Was top-of-the line when I built this machine.

Edit: Running a full system backup as a precaution.
