I've learnt that if you hover your mouse over the 'freshness' time it tells you who last posted, and that if you click on it.. it takes you to their post. I clearly don't spend enough time on the forum... how long's it done that?

That TSY is slow to catch on

I've learned that Blackpool Council's latest strapline is: [i]Blackpool is a place where difference makes no difference[/i]

Leaves me with more questions than answers however....

Have you tried viagra? 😉

I've learned today that...
you have to manually create an IP pool on the infranet controller if you enable 'always use a virtual adaptor' when trying to establish an IPSEC tunnel between an odyssey client and an enforcement point..despite the documentation stating specifically that you don't need to do it.

British Gas are without doubt the most useless bunch of idiots I've ever known. Their incompetance is only matching by their lackluster attempts to pretend they're doing anything about the fundamentally flawed solution they sold me.

In the american version of the apprentice, people who win a challenge get to go to the playboy mansion and frolic in the pool with lovelies in bikinis.

That it is possible to remove the rear crankshaft seal from a low floor Dennis dart by an improvised method involving self tapping screws, big washers and M16 nuts without removing the bell housing, thereby saving a couple of hours work.

It's quicker to drive from Montrose to Dundee via Brechin than it is to go via Arbroath.

That 20yr old boys think it's ok when having a shower, to dismantle the shower (electric) while it's still running and he's still stood under it, and then randomly poking about inside with a metal nail file, will 1, fix the dribble, and 2, is perfectly safe, and I'm a stupid old git for thinking otherwise 😯

On returning you'll see that pixies set it all up for you and all you have to do is join the workgroup (something the previous 2hrs failed to deliver despite repeated tries).

😀 🙄

Once a Project Manager realises they've made an epic booboo it suddley becomes the teams fault, the ****less eejit 😈

that sweet potato must be cooking for 22mins in my oven, no more or less; and
being single sometimes has its drawbacks *in need of a hug*

Oh and that it is impossible to train 6 days a week, work 5 days a week (plus over time that i don't get paid for) and have a tidy flat, despite my best efforts.

DGOAB from under a pile of washing and dishes.

What vajazzle is.

People will park like idiots, then, when you have to park like an idiot because of it (thus making it ever-so-slightly difficult for them to get past at anything other than the speed limit), they will get all grumpy.

I also learned (well, re-learned) that I can get wound up by idiots... 🙂

Like Jamie I realised that I spend far too much time on forums so will try to take a break... soon.. ¬_¬

I like Jack Daniels lots 😉

That the price you see on expedia seems to depend on now you get there (eg through liligo) or which version of the site you use (.be or .co.uk). I wouldn't mind if it was just a little different 🙁

You can make an epoxy from an alkene using metachloroperbenzoic acid.

I'm sure I used to know that, it seems familiar.

So, since graduating 6 years ago I've forgotten more chemistry than most people will ever know.

Mere mortals can't make that change - I tried for 2hr

I haven't done it for a while but I'm sure all we did was google it and follow some simple instructions. It even worked to transfer files from my pc to a mates macbook.

Today I learned that the dozen or so cyclists that sailed past and ignored me as I was trying to change a puncture, are absolute pricks. This also includes the guy who works in the same building as me who quite clearly saw me pushing the bike to the office with a puncture, and completely ignored me. I hope all your next bowel movements feel like you're trying to squeeze a pineapple out.

My new cat, eats, sleeps and farts much more than I do [i]and[/i] can lick his own bits.
