Good afternoon one and all!!!

I couldn't post at lunchtime as I was stood on a green overlooking the Solent saying goodbye to a dear work colleague/friend who some of you may recall sadly passed away suddenly back in March.
He wanted a quiet simple cremation with no ceremony, but asked that his ashes be scattered along Lee on Solent water, and so his family organised for his ashes to be scattered by a Spitfire today.
It was an incredible sight and very poignant.

I've walked down to meet Mrs Bobbers in this sweltering heat and am currently sat in Peanut sweating profusely!!!!

A fine send off Bobbers and fair play to you chum on being there for your old work pal.

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes to Mrs H. I can report good news, the consultant is very happy with his handiwork and her recovery. So she has been signed off by him. We may need his services again for her right knee in the future. I will need to start saving again as the whole process has cost £17k.Still she’s worth every penny though.

[Bobberoo]

Glad to hear Mrs H is on the mend and signed off by the consultant!!

Thanks for the kind words chaps, it was a very special thing to witness and be a part of.

I've just had an almond Magnum.

One of the traps at work was without paper this afternoon. I came close to putting a sign on the door saying:

This is a paperless office. All work will need to be completed using digital techniques.

Can you find a frog to provide hopping lessons?

Kids bought me a mint one earlier. I’m trying to avoid UPFs, but made an exception

Very nice, remind me, when are you coming down to Hamble to fix my shed????

[spikeyhead]

That's a fine looking shed Fatboy. We need to put one in our garden to replace the rotten one I scrapped in the spring.

Time to dream of being twot

Super shedding there…..what a fabulous man cave you now have. Perfect for a beer on a sunny afternoon.

Reminds me of my favourite frog joke.
Punchline being ‘ teach the frog to cook then fk off’!

Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywhere
It's still twot!!
But there is a covering of cloud this morning, whether it will bring cooler weather or not is up for debate.

To emphasize the reduction in skill and basic common sense on the shop floor, yesterday I was asked to look at replacing a long series slot drill used on a job as "the one we normally use isn't available from stores anymore", so being me I went on our stores page, the same one the shop floor use, looked at the cutter in question, which was showing zero stock but not saying obsolete, emailed one of the stores people and asked that they order some, got a reply saying "ordered, 7 day lead time", and then went to ask just why the fk the operator who said the job needed a new cutter couldn't do that simple task for themselves.
