T&T v England

[Raven]

We've been told we can work through lunch and go early which is exactly what I am doing

[Bruce Rioja]

I'm thinking that there aren't all that many people that have turned in today. This morning it only took 45 minutes to get from my house in Manny, to my office in Leeds, yesterday it took two hours.
I'm just hoping that it'll be the same on the way back. Leaving here just before 4.00 to get home in time. I'll be watching it on my own though like the boy with nay pals!

[boltonboris]

I think I've just discovered my first benefit of running my own business in Blair's Britain. (Mind you, I'll have to give myself a good bollocking later for skiving off!)

Huzzah!

Does that include the sexual harassment case??

[JAM]

Pupils leave school at 1545.

Mr. JAM in car on way home at 1546 - there will be no marking tonight.

[superjohnmcginlay]

Im outta here at 3 - pub for 4, I need a good hour preparation time.

[Little Green Man]

Bought a new TV - arrived yesterday in time for today's game. The zapper/doofer/dibber/remote doesn't fugging work!
How am I going to turn Lawro off?

Grrrrr/Gnash/Howl/Swear!

Grrrrr/Gnash/Howl/Swear!

* In best patronising voice, normally only reserved for when talking to my wife *

You have put the batteries in the remote haven't you?

Absolutely. Thanks Hoss, I believe that the resultant flack belongs to you, Sir. All of it

[Little Green Man]

Only three different pairs including the ones that came with it.

And yes, I did turn the TV on.

And yes, I did point it at the television.

And yes, it will be going back tomorrow after the game.

And yes, I won't be buying anything from Amazon again if the replacement is no better

And yes, I do usually buy from Dabs.

4:45 - Exam ends

5:00 - Stand at back of room where I can't see the big screen anyway.

Ahh, schoolboy error I'm afraid, LGM. You've missed a key component. You've neglected to wrap a piece of bright blue insulation tape around it, an absolutely essential piece of kit.

Batman's World Cup Day


TalkSport - 7am
First brew - 7am

Thought that was a little early, Batty, until I remembered that in England a brew is tea, not beer as it is over here. My day is work (sort of) until lunchtime and watch the game (which I called as 3-0 in my prediction league which may have been a little overconfident).

You mean like chip shop staff wear to stop the scabs on their fingers dropping in the oil?

I'll give it a try.

Our TVs (which may be a little different) require programming the remote before it will work. This involves pointing it away from the TV at opposite wall and pushing certain buttons. It means reading the instructions I'm afraid (and in my case asking my son to do it) but that might be the problem.

I'm worried Bruce. Everybody seems to be leaving between 3.00 & 4.00. The M62/M60/M61 is going to be packed. Feck it - i'm going at 2.30.

Nothing in the Troubleshooting about programming the remote. Nothing in the Quick Setup either. Never had to do it with other TVs before. I'm considering going back to being a Luddite.

Thanks, anyway - more helpful than the Gaga Gelding.

Moi?

I don't know - you try to help out and cop for a load of abuse for your trouble...
