Not so trivial...Sold my house. Guy came around yesterday evening desperate to see it, missed it when we bought it. Sent him off to see the Estate agent, came around, loved it, bought it full price...
So probably get summer here and then...
Good news. And I got quite a good reading on the Triv-O-Meter by putting the inverter in series. So probably get summer here and then...
You have to do these things if you want good results.
Battert showed me how to do it years ago. He uses it on the Vote-O-Matic for the Members' Staff Review. But only for surnames of staff beginning with B. Too technical for me.

Is that the weir by Victoria park/Ash bridge?
Well, yes, it is, but I've never heard the bridge called that. I've never heard it called anything. I had to look it up. The single track bridge adjacent to it I know as the American Bridge (built during the war) but I've never heard the dual carriageway bridge called anything. I'm new here. I've only lived here for thirty (30) years.
Today I learned something.

I've arrived home to a lovely invitation to pay either £30 now or £100 if it's over 14 days just for the pleasure of eating at the Ladybower Inn the same as glenrobbo has, great, like I need anymore fking st to deal with.
Mrs Bobbers has taken the decision out of my hands and paid it, she keeps asking if there's anything she can do to help, I wish there was but ultimately I'm down as representative for him which means I have to deal with it.
I'm n ot sure i follow this....i might be being a bit Tim Awfully Nice but Dim but why after having been to the Ladybower Inn, have you had a bil for £30. Mrs Bobbers has taken the decision out of my hands and paid it, she keeps asking if there's anything she can do to help, I wish there was but ultimately I'm down as representative for him which means I have to deal with it.
Is it for parking by any small chance?
I've never heard of anything like that before. Hit them where it hurts, give a bad google review.

Today will be interesting as I'm hosting a major customer on site to review product process due to issues with quality, I'm not doing it solo but still daunting for me.
Dominate from the start. Snap on the blue gloves - SNAP- "right who's here for their review" There is precedent.

Wilson, Keppel and Betty.
Butch Battert, Dicky The Sand Dance Kid and Mrs Brassington?
This all goes back to an incident where I was sure I overheard Mrs Brassington mentioning me and using the phrase, "Get my teeth into." I had to join the Trivton Self Help Group.
Backhanders at work?
When I was trade plating I stayed at a Travelodge or Premier in a Motorway Services. I mentioned the two (2) hour maximum parking and the receptionist said they contacted the parking company as a matter of course. A few days later I received a bill for unauthorised overnight parking. I contacted them, they denied hearing from the motel, the motel said they'd check blah, blah, blah. Quite a lot of effort to have the bill deaded and I wondered if the fines for the people who paid rather than argued included a fee for the hotel staff to conveniently forget.
