I have notified that Admin has added a "Work Safe Option". Does this mean it would be safe for me to go back to work?
Nooo0! Don't do it!

Nooo0! Don't do it!

Following your expert advice then :thanks: , I won't. I might have if I could have found a job without mega millions of stress levels, and without idiots to work with.

Alledgedly no such job exists. On the other hand, would I find time to go out to work? :scratch:

I must continue, obviously, with assisting Mark on his path to recovery.

Steak and Ale pie?
Strong tea?

Yo Comsnoid,
tha' cleat problems should be over soon.
As a special project, Spud has developed a method of grafting a cleat straight onto tha', foot. Just cut a hole in the base of tha' shoe and off you go. Tha'll be the first volunteer, the branding won't leave a scar ( only a small one).

I think he is applying for a patent or was it becoming a patient?

Just so we are clear on this. Was this the built up cleat that failed?

Frankly it would be worth your while, in cost per mile, to have a special pair of boots made up. I'm thinking a boot of riveted leather with thick soles, one thicker than the other of course. The cleats held on by big wood screws into the thick soles.

Should go well with the Japanned black screws in your leg and the bolt through your neck!

Yo Cosminoid,
I note with some alarm that snow is prevelant in Middle England. Have you taken emergency supplies on board to enable you to survive at least 3 days of being stuck in, hopefully, very deep drifts ?
Spud has adapted his inflatable into a figure hugging "Survival Pod",
he's left the arms, legs and head on.

Take precautions, sir, it would go against the grain to alert the emergency services, only to find you frozen to the core.

The best thing to do is go out into the white wilderness telling the rest of us; 'I may be some time' and just go for a short stagger until, sometime after the end of the ice age your mummified body is found. Scientists of the future will vie over your sad remains and theories of a bio-mechanical sub species of man existed for a short time in the early 21st century, but died out presumably as a failed evolutionary experiment.

We'll miss you of course but...

Tha'd be famous lad.

......
That's the trouble with being self-employed/working from home/running a home-based business .... :headshake:


I know the feeling ... :sad:

EEyup Cosfrozonoid,
nearly forgot, include a long pole with a flare on top. Spud has just finished his heat seeking missile; "The Chatsworth Estate Worker Dodger".
Not only will this find you in a snow drift, but will ensure that you are quickly sent on your way. The Mark11 comes with a tasteful set of leather bound memorial hymns and psalms.
Get your order in asap for that deep drift security.
Tha'll sleep better at night, reassured , that all is being done for a RECOVERY.

Computer says noooooooo, sat in a semi trance like state in the office this is what popped in to my head while listening to the latest winging person on the phone demanding something be done about the latest minor infringement on there tiny universe by one of there neighbours.
Some people go through hell with there neighbours, but others are just whinging gits and have no tolerance or understanding for there fellow man.
A one off birthday party that until 11:30 one Friday night or the fact that next doors grass is 3” taller than what you deem acceptable is no reason to shout at some poor sod sat in a cubicle in a dungeon chained to a desk.

Every person has there little revenges, putting a request form to the bottom of a pile, misplacing a file or assigning a request to the wrong team/department and forgetting to tick a box that needs ticking for a request to go to the next stage of processing; asking some one to repeatedly spell there name street or having them repeat there phone number is a good one and completely getting there story wrong and getting them to explain every aspect of it repeatedly.

i must admit the idea of having a strap-on to help with my length problems dose have some merit but it would be two cumbersome a device.
i am already emotionalised in the genetic archives of a well-known university research department, as is my family tree going back a long way, apparently we have a very distinctive marker the DNA; so when they find the cure for some thing it my be named after us.

EEyup Cosmomoid,
I agree that tha' family tree goes back a long way. I'd also agree that so does everyone's. With this in mind Spud has come up with "The family tree generator".
Loosely based on an old Mecca Bingo machine, you put your name on a ball and throw it into the revolving disc of past destiny; an old food mixer.

We have been gratified at the results; it appears that not only are you directly descended
from the Greek God of Gratification, you also have several primitive sponges in your ancestry.
Useful in a hot tub.

Should you require a look into the future,we can turn the main battery around and insert one of your balls.
However,I fear that the outlook appears grim, with no sign of RECOVERY.

I think we can all trace out family tree back to the primeval soup. For some of us that's a lot of generations, for others only a few.
