Default A8 Pub

With all the banter that happens in threads, I thought it might be nice to have one thread for banter and other random items.

Thought the title might sum up the general idea.

See what happens.


Afternoon and welcome to the pub.
Flap caps, pipes, sandals with socks are all welcome.

How many of you are going to GTI International this year?

Well tonight I spent the main part of the evening dragging the remainders of a shell of a 1972 beetle from a garage on to a recovery truck, from Bathgate to Airdrie and back off and into a garage.

And it rained
Lots

And there was in front axle on the beetle.

Anyone have a better evening?

I had a 12hr shift trying to fault find problems with a ROV survey junction box.

Not a great day TBH as the ship was waiting to sail and couldn't until we got the offending box working as it was critical to the job.

Never pleasant when everyone breathing down your neck asking is it working yet, were waiting on you.

Todays going much better though, getting paid to surf the net and type drivel on here

Morning lads,

I sat on the Xbox last night till about 2200 then collected the wife to be from work.
Today is my friday and the last day of being a unmarried man.

Looking forward to tomorrow.
Going to be interesting to see who don't turn up and waste my money cause of it.

Delboy, I know that feeling.
Sat in a store with the manager breathing down my neck wondering when his tills/server will be working so he can open the doors.
It goes a lot slower if you rush me or stand that close!!

I'm kind of looking forward to fitting a new kitchen and bathroom but not the painting or decorating side of it.
