You could spend the rest of your life bantering with the bonkers berk with the 3" wossname and get absolutely nowhere."

Ha, ha, I love it. Cheers mate.

Phew!

 

Best of luck with the job hunting... or the gardening - why not, if you can make a living from it, give it a bash.

 

Im enjoying this debate immensely, its nice to see how a sensible thread can descend in to petty name calling so quickly. Its like iv never been away......oh hang on i havent \/

 

Lovely.

 

Oh dear. Said it all really. There isn't a lack of post-grad jobs, its just that there aren't many high quality candidates available to fill them and employers are choosy. Three days with the council refuse collection team and couldn't suceed at that? As I mentioned, said it all... If you displayed the same interpersonal skills at your interviews that you have here you may be in for a long wait before you find your true calling. One of the reasons my interests switched from railway to road steam is that it is much more family orientatated. Most people on the steam rally circuit have children (as opposed to being banned from having contact with children), are married (as opposed to living with their aged parents whilst approaching middle age) and are more adjusted life than some of the charecters that frequent preserved railways. Aspergers syndrome, so evident here isn't generally found and people can have rational discussions with opposing points of view without childish and silly names being thrown about. Sad really - as you both look like a complete pair of wnakers.

 

Weathers' turned out nice again.....................

 

Robin, a year ago I gave Graeme the 1968 square side on view of the greenhouse taken with the photographers back to the shelter. As all bricks were 9x4.5x3 inches it should be easy to work out the side dimensions including the cill, frame door and window frames. I did put some measurements on the photos. Also the entire double skin brick foundation was there 2 years ago, albeit not 100% intact but you could make out all 4 corners and where the offset chimney sat. I suggest once you’ve done a carefull excavation, you rip out the 1886 brick floor, leaving the Staffordshire blue door lintel intact and float a new 9 inch concrete pad in there before building the walls up. I suggest a red brick outer skin with breeze block inner with concrete skim.
The rimmer collection photos in my red “bible” are also very useful.

Regards Nick

 

Lashing it down here...

Tea anyone?

oh oh - watch out watch out, the Mods are about. Yes yes, I will get my coat. Some people are no fun....

yes, yes, naughty step, blah, blah, he started it he pulled my hair. Humble apologies, I'm misunderstood, Flange Bandit made me write it.... [-X [-X [-X [-X

Glorious sun here in Kent.

 

"Best of luck with the job hunting... or the gardening - why not, if you can make a living from it, give it a bash.

Maybe you could get a job in the same office as everyone's best mate Sir Crapolot, that would be really nice! Or maybe we could all get a job in the same office as Sir Crapolot, that would be bliss - all he seems to do is sit on his backside all day using the company's internet connection trying to wind up everyone on this forum! Sounds like a cushy job - we could constantly bicker at each other across the desks all day and then take home a big wodge of cash at the end of the week for doing absolutely bog all - superb!

You'd have enough money to buy a gas guzzler - stuff the environment - get the biggest Hummer on the forecourt!

I wonder what Moansell Man does for a living in that office... well, not much by the sounds of it, but what kind of job? I bet it's something really cruddy... like a debt collector, maybe a funeral directors? Perhaps he's on the help line for the mafia's 'Dial a Hitman' service?

I love the way this topic has descended into a complete slanging match - I just don't care anymore... I'm not interested in a single word that idiot has to say - of course, still upholding the good old British tradition of free speech, although I'm rapidly going off the idea at the moment.

Looking forward to more bull when he logs on to his company's internet in the morning and spends another day in the office doing nothing of any use to man nor beast."

Ha, ha, I love it afvideo!!! Since this has now descended into a bit of feeding frenzy thanks to Maunsell's Bane, lets all just pile in, why not?

Been a bit stormy across the Mendips lately!

 

Very kind of you, just one lump for me please.

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!

"Ha, ha, ha, I think we got 'im red leader" (Spitfire ace subsequently does victory roll over Dover)

There's a simpler means of confirming your status as a complete tosser Maunsell Man, you can just say it!!

Cheers Nick, thats very useful. I just got sent a cheque for my birthday, so with part of that I can rejoin the Trust and then liaise with Steve, and hopefully we can get something started before the winter comes.

"Very kind of you, just one lump for me please."

Yes, I'll second that, this is actually just getting a wee bit tiresome.
