You know what I mean. When you've done something so effing stupid or with dire consequences and you can't do a thing about it.
When was the last time you had that feeling?
I've got it right now. Under no stress, no previous difficulties with the day and for no other reason, after a minor mistake of putting too many numbers into the photocopier for how many copies I wanted, I've managed the punch the screen and crack the LCD display.
I couldn't stop the copier from printing 100 instead of 10 and for no real reason other than temper I've flaming punched the screen and its knackered.
I'm assuming it can be fixed (it cost us nearly £4K) but even then I really can't see the bill being under £1000.
I was going to ask if we're getting bonuses this year - not likely now

NS04, It may have been a profanity filled outburst but it's finally drawn your attention to how pissed off some of us are at tel's repeatedly pathetic spelling jibes. I'm not the only one that's fed up with it (i've had several pm from others that have had enough of his tripe) it's just I'm the only one that's willing to be vocal about it. Yes I may have been harsh and used profound language but judging by the fact you've commented on it means you've finally taken notice. Now hopefully when the sad sack can't help himself and continues you WILL take proper action.
I only wind people up that get up my nose, Tel starts on anyone for a simple spelling error. I'm glad the moderators have finally got their act together and will not tolerate this pedantic rubbish anymore.
As for my part in this, your points have been duly noted and I shall not comment further but I would like to say thanks for finally taking the time to make Tel aware his petty bitching will not be tolerated.

Chill out t'is only the internet afterall.

Bit of psychology here in that we can all read incorrectly written words providing that the first and last letters are in the correct order.
His psot cunot syas eogunh. he's a sad lloney no hpoer.
But I wlil amidt tihs is fliute, and, as rhgltiy put, a wstae of bwitwdah. El Tel wlil btie at etvinyerg I wtrie and vcie vsrea so the sniebsle thnig to to is to let Tel win so wlel dnoe tel on yeu'or vtircoy.
Now taht is a ppreor ptranig gtrsue.

yep it is pretty good -- don't be tempted by winzip, although it can be used to encrypt directories and stop the zip file being opened
you still see the file name (although I haven't done exhustive tests so could be wrong)
so it's hard to convince a sysadmin that
an4l_fisting.avi is a video of your last family summer camping trip
(unless your from Louisiana obviously)

The Scott family Christmas may well be saved this year!
I decided to have a look at the lease agreement to see how long was left of the term and it turns out theres an insurance policy included in the lease.
Theres no excess to pay and the claim can be handled over the phone.
I have gone cap in hand to the powers that be to seek forgiveness.

Just last week funnily enough.
Girl friend and I always **** about calling each other names. I'll walk in the house and she'll say something like alright ******** or such like.
She's heavily pregnant (due Friday) and on maternity leave. So last week I popped home for lunch and walked through the door, I decided to get the insult in first and jokingly said "Where's my effing dinner you fat b*tch"
I forgot that the mother in law was there that day!!!!
If you knew my mother in law you'd know just what a horrible f*ck up that was.
She now thinks her precious little girl is in an abusive relationship and I am boyfriend from hell. The GF is milking it for all its worth though and reminding me of the horrible moment at every opportunity.
I'm cringing just thinking about it as we are the happiest couple on the planet and this portrays totally the opposite.

A few years ago just after our son was born, the missus decided it would be a good idea to take a weeks holiday with the in-laws at a country cottage.
One night they volunteered to babysit so we could have a night out on our own. Great, we thought! So after a nice meal we walked back to the cottage and on route I tried to get the missus into the woods for some al-fresco action. Now, she is scared sh1tless of ducks and wouldn't walk past the pond leading to the woods, so we headed back with me in a huff.
We get back in the house about 1pm and the in-laws are sat in the living room feeding my son so we head straight to the bedroom. Seeing I was not happy, she asked me what was wrong..... I replied with "I wanted to take you down the woods and fvck you and you're going on about the fvcking ducks" only to then look to my left and see the light on the baby monitor was on! I had that feeling!!
About a minute later, the mother-in-law knocks on the door and says "i've turned the monitor off now, so you can talk"
I still cringe now when I think of it

A long long time ago I was on a YTS scheme learning how to support Unisys A series mainframes at the National and Provincial BS when, sitting next to a recently 'graduated' YTS'er, being trained, I witnessed (after he had been given the superuser password) him proceeed to remove the whole of something called 'NAPDB' which was their Mortgage database (housed in one directory!!) with a single command ( something similar to the previously mentioned Unix 'rm -rf /'.)
As he had finished typing and his finger moved downwards to the enter button I asked 'Why the **** would you want to remove ........' and he pressed it. The entire thing, gone. Took nearly two days to restore and recover I believe, in 1988. The entire Technical Support team lost all of their privilleges. Ah the good old days.
PS For anyone here that remembers, that was at Parkhill and it was Ian hall! lol

The Mrs and I were filming an office scene (always a favorite
) and she hopped up to photocopy her *** but having had one pork roll too many this christmas, the poor copier could no longer take the strain.

Most of my posts are of a techinical nature as I'm quite handy at building pretty quick cars. As a result of that I'm in a good position to help the wider community and I get plenty of PM's asking advice.
I just wonder what you and gimpboy bring to the table.
Anyway I'm bored of this childish stuff and unlike you pair of ******* I actually have lots of stuff to do today (I'm dismantling my garage ready for a new one to be built so I have hired a container to store all my tools and some parts ready for the build). I can just see both of your saturdays being the same as any other day for you, sat in front of your PC waiting for your next trolling opportunity.
Now off you trott and leave me alone there's a good girl.
