How Was Your Day?

[Merging Cultures]

Got a new Nexus 7 tablet. Very nice.

Also got elected to my daughter's school board.

Just finishing off paintwork in my lounge in readiness for new carpet going in. Imagine my delight when I discover that wherever not exposed to direct sunlight, Dulux white gloss turns a lovely shade of yellow

All oil based paint yellows with time, it's even worse now that the formula has been changed for environmental reasons.

What is a full time degree these days? 8 hours per week?

How dare you! .... I do about 14 hours ... It's a tough life

All oil based paint yellows with time, it's even worse now that the formula has been changed for environmental reasons.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was much time, but it's not even a year. Where a pile of cardboard was sat on a cupboard there's now a lovely yellow patch. Are all glosses this bad now? I'm all for not destroying the environment but the whole point of gloss is it's meant to last!

The moral of this story is to not leave piles of cardboard laying around. Or to use a more exciting paint colour.

All oil based paints will yellow, quicker if it's in a dark place or warm, it's always been like this but it's got worse in the last 3/4 years.If you want to avoid yellowing you have to use water based gloss, the problem is the finish isn't as good.

 

When I was an apprentice 30 years ago we were told that oil based paints would be phased out in 10 years and they're still saying now. It'll will happen 1 day I suppose.

I love Google. We made lots of orders for a Nexus 7 tablets, but they kept getting cancelled. Eventually one went through. They sent it to us, along with two others. I called them and they told us that we can keep them, but they won't be covered by the warranty! Brilliant.

Broke up with the mrs last night, anyone know of any private landlords?

[Rincewind]

Sorry to hear that. She's got the house then?  How desperate are you? There are good and bad landlords. If you work should be no problem to find a deposit for a decent place that isn't falling down and full of riff raff for neighbours.

Sorry to hear that mate. I know one but I think all his flats are occupied atm.

Got paid yesterday.

 

First official payday ever.

 

It was emotional.

[lavrentis]

Going to eat at Mobius later this week, said on a board outside theres an Award winning chef from Athens so thought i'd give it a go.

 

Anyone been? It's opposite Natterjacks near Tesco

[FoxesAreBlue]

Once again I was let down by a casual employee ensuring that I had to do the job myself and now I'm behind in my other work.

I've said it before but I can't even give money away these days

[Tom17LCFC]

Good and bad.

 

Good in the fact that I've got a job sorted for when I finish uni this summer.

 

Bad in the fact that it means I leave university soon for good and I also have to miss the game on saturday for induction

[Sharpe's Fox]

Been on a surveying field course this week in Cumbria, I'm seeing it as rehab from FT

[Rincewind]

Yesterday was OK. Had a cheque in the post from CCP. I sent of a compensation form off and they paid up. On the form I just put I wasn't given all the details. I may get another cheque as I had got two different accounts with them. I had cancelled both so thought I may not get anything. The amount was under £100 but I won't dispute it. It was to do with my credit and debit cards and I was unaware until later that loss and theft is covered anyway by the banks so an extra cover is not needed.

Saw a female duck kill another duck's duckling yesterday. Bloody horrific.

I tried to intervene by pelting it with stones but to no avail.

What a shit.

[Lamby]

Someone had a heart attack at the game tonight, the paramedics managed to get a pulse back after 5mins or so and managed to get them to an ambulance, hopefully they pull through.

But all in all how was your day?

Quite decent actually, apart from waking up after a nap with a headache.

[Rincewind]

For those that do not know, a suggestion for after gane P up. The Swan and Rushes have a SciFi beer festival starting Friday as a theme and all the ale names will have some connection. They also have food and music. I was going kings Head but may go there after. may go Friday anyway.

Time for my most random comment ever. USSR's national anthem is unreal.

Well I for one am on absolute tenterhooks to find out which boozer you go to.

[Rincewind]

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in that reply?

[Merging Cultures]

My Grandma died this morning. Very sad.
