You know me well Bob
Looks a lovely piece of kit mate. Especially with you getting such a unique serial number. Must admit, if I was tempted to go for a regulated squonker, it would be at the top of my wish list. But I don't think my bank balance could handle it just yet
Lemo 2
Some details online about the upcoming lemo 2. Looks interesting.
Airflow adjustment has been improved greatly from that silly fiddly rotating thing on the lemo (although I usually just leave mine wide open).
Side fill port looks interesting but has the potential for leaking maybe I think.
Same here Adam, I just set the airflow and forget about it, on my Lemos. If the Lemo 2 doesn't leak at all, I'll probably pick one up for work. But if it's a dribbler, I'll end up getting some more Subtanks instead.
Understandable, even if you have been missed!
My husband use to work 12 hour nights on a fleet of heavy plant vehicles/wagons - hardly ever saw him apart from perhaps 1.5days at weekends!
Eldest son worked 12 hour shifts until recently, and they could be very busy ones too. He used to only sleep until late morning though, often just having four hours sleep ....it caught up with him! He does an 8 hour shift system now and it seems a lot better ...and no full nights either ...just on call from midnight.
Aww thanks Trisha
A lot of the guys at work are on this same shift pattern as me. You can transfer onto it, once you've been there for 5 years, it's classed as the "core" duty. The extra days off are a bonus, along with a better rate of pay. Plus I don't do any more split shifts- where you work for 4 hours, have a 4 hour (unpaid) break, then work 4 more hours. But the longer days do take a bit of getting used to. Most of the duties start about 8 or 9am. So I have to set off half an hour earlier, with the rush hour traffic. I'll get used to it soon, hopefully
Do you think we'll actually get that referendum? He's been making suspicious noises in recent times about side-steeping a proper one,
I've always said they'll never dare have an in-out referendum.
I'm 99% certain it will happen as promised. In fact, I'd put a bet on it happening
No fun giving you grief if you aint there!
Well just have to save it for when you are!
Glad I come in useful for something
Unrelated but similar - I'm losing patience with Tesco delivery service. Mostly brilliant, but in the past 3 weeks, we had non delivery of bread supposedly because it wasn't cool enough to take out on delivery! ...then yesterday, I'd ordered a pack of Anadin Ultra with instructions that they could be substituted with another of the same pharmaceutical ingredient (ibuprofen). What did we get: Paracetamol & aspirin! That's not the first time it's happened.
I'm not averse to complaining nicely, but it's getting ridiculous and makes us feel silly.
That's the main reason why my Wife is against home delivery. She always says "what if they send the wrong thing". I'd much rather have the convenience though, cos I'm lazy
The Conservatives are completely committed to an in/out referendum. They couldn't not have one without having a "Liberal Tuition Fees" backlash. The only other parties who want one are the Greens and UKIp - but the Conservatives are the only ones who can deliver one. If there is a Conservative/UKIP coalition (UKIP would have to gain a TON of seats for this to happen, which seems unlikely when many of their people have been "failing" when subjected to scrutiny lately) then we may have one sooner rather than later. But the promise is clear - if Cameron is Prime Minister in the next parliament then there will definitely be an in/out referendum.
I agree mate, the referendum will happen. I also think there will be a few surprises in the coming elections, with UKIP gaining seats in Tory and Labour strongholds. I'm pretty certain we'll end up with another coalition again though. In some ways, I think it was a smart move by Cameron, saying he will hand over the reigns at the end of 2020. I don't think I'd want to do that job for longer than 10 years myself, it's got to be pretty stressful.
