I have been successful in a getting a new job at the "factory". :)
Having been here for a decade you would think it would be a simple process.
Nope....
I need to have an ID check..... passport, driving licence etc etc etc...............
And another DBS check........................
2 weeks added to the "moving" process and many HR people filling in forms.

One of many reasons the NHS is fudged. :banghead::banghead:

Plumbing. I'm never going to complain about how much plumbers charge again.
After 2 days of hard graft, I've ended up with a new toilet 3 feet from the wall.:scratchhead:
Modern toilets are longer than the old design.:(
The toilet seat now has nothing to ' lean ' on, and is suspended in mid air when open,:scratchhead:
Should have dug out the drain, and moved the soil pipe nearer the wall.:asshat:
Cut too much off the plastic soil pipe.:facepalm:
And you don't just screw it to the floor anymore, you have to faff about fitting internal wedges....:mad:
Had to add an ' extension ' to the cistern pipe.:(
3 out of 4 compression joints are leaking.:arghh:

'kin hell.


Sorry, but that is the funniest thing I have read in a long while, I thought that things like that only happened to us! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

Driving on a 2 lane motorway with cruise control set to 73 mph (GPS) passing a stream of trucks and seeing a distant car approaching in the mirror so look for a gap in the trucks and pull in to let the BMW pass and then pull out again without having to adjust the cruise control - then the b****y BMW drops its speed to 65 mph cos the driver is on the phone.

Cattle passports : you give them the information and they print out and send the passport out to you. Why the fudge do you then have to faff about sticking your holding sticker on each passport - why couldn't they print that on automatically?
