Oh and Beany is right...

Flying visit home at the weekend so only needed a car from Airport to Hotel, Hotel to folks house then folks house back to the airport so I went cheap and cheerful - VW Polo or similar. similar meant a Fiat Panda something.something l hybrid. It was tiny and gutless but the main takeaway was the fac...

The recommendations are really helpful. Dinny, if you see this, I would appreciate those details - thank you.

Just sent you a PM with the details

I’ve done health and safety work for almost every company I’ve worked for and handling hazardous materials is like the most basic risk after trips and falls. Fuck me for not wanting employees to get hurt though :lol: I’d imagine that the health and safety required for the materials and manufacturin...

I have to laugh at the office jockeys thinking their opinion on Dave’s world - which we know stretches from the first world to the third world and back again - have any merit

The real world lads… it’s over there ——> Go take a look sometime

If concerns about Oil and Cancer are significant for you, then don't try to be a Diesel Engineer, or a Mechanic, or a Fuel Delivery Driver or, you know, any job where you may come into contact with Oil But modern life allows for folks to demand the right to work in these fields and demand the right ...

Why are you assuming the latter, rather than the former???

Once again, that is the reason why the world’s fucked

Just to be clear, they want to work with Industrial Diesel Engines but don’t want to get oil on their hands???

That is modern life in a nutshell and why the world’s fucked!!

My observation with "Kids" is that they don't seem to have any inclination to learn things for themselves. If someone doesn't show them, they can't do it. Things like changing a tyre, changing a plug - basic things we learned by watching others and then having a go with a healthy dose of c...

With the exception of the childhood trauma part, you could be describing my other half. And for what it’s worth, the therapy and help is there to go from that to a pretty normal life. I still have to unplug the plug beside my chair every night for her (despite leaving 4 or 5 others plugged in in the...

Me too - try to practice mindfulness as you walk. Listen for sounds, look for sights, smells etc as you go.

:shock: The sea level isn’t rising, the UK is dropping One of my favourite bits of useless information is that the various cliffs along Britain's south coast - Cliffs of Dover, Needles, Jurassic coast etc - were caused in some part during the Last Ice Age when the weight of retreating ice over the ...

Let’s call it a score draw…

Don’t get me wrong - I say fair play to him for what he’s done. And I’ve been defending him in this thread about the Arsenal tickets etc.

But integrity isn’t the correct word. He’s just a politician reacting in the way all politicians do

Would he have changed the rules if not called out by the “shitrag press” - no

Therefore Integrity isn’t the correct word for what he’s done

So he gets told by the shitrag press that the shitrag-press reading members of the public think that some of the hospitality he declared and were deemed to be within the rules are a bit frivolous, so he's arranged for the commissioning of new rules around what's acceptable and has refunded the valu...

Sounds like you’ve got the next steps thought out which is a great first step. Only advice I can offer about OCD from experience is that it can be comparatively easy to arrive at coping strategies from therapy which work in the day to day. But if you can, keep digging to find why You think a bit of ...

As the lads have said, nowt to be embarrassed about. I've had regular therapy over the years for various bits and bobs. Other half has OCD so I understand the cycle, especially the thoughts over the shed etc. Have you any medical insurance ? I've had several rounds of counselling, fully funded by my...
