My work tried to inform me I was being moved to a different shift loading system due to my promotion this year.......


One email to HR stating I was a union delegate and why they were so very wrong and I get a phone call from HR stating it was a payroll error and nothing will change..........Makes me wonder what would have happened if they aimed it purely at the weak.

Don't you just love it when it's someone elses fault for once?
Busting my arse all morning & through lunch, but the boss just said "f##k em, worry about it on monday".

Early days but yeah. Not a huge departure from 4 but some nice new touches. Cars handle very nicely.

Yep. Have to agree. But, since giving up on GT at the third incarnation, it's a refreshing little time waster from to avoid Christmas television

I gave up on it about a quarter of the way into the Extreme class races. Pretty good up until there, though. Forget B-Spec - holy crap, it is the worst thing ever. I'd advise you not to get too excited about the Top Gear races either.

 

[schooey]

Ahh okm cheers... only started on the A-spec yesterday. The boychild is enjoying it the most, and it's keeping him away from the COD style ganes for the moment.

I had a look at the B-Spec and thought I must have been doing something wrong. Then I realised that there really is nothing to do. An absolute waste of time. I've only just started so nowhere near the Extreme Class stuff but as Schooey said, it will pass some time for a few days next week whilst not at work.

Yeah, I just can't be arsed grinding through the whole game a few times just to get the money for one car required then have to do it maybe 4 more times to finish Extreme. I've got all gold in everything else so I'm calling that a win.

Online is kinda fun if you've got mates who have it - otherwise you're just racing dicks with maxxed out Veyrons. I happen to have a maxxed out Veyron but it gets boring pretty quick.

Got an email from GLS today about the 2010 Chinese hop crop. Pity this isn't playing out in public - need something to keep me entertained over the summer...

 

[peas_and_corn]

Yeah, he sent me the email too- saying that the shipment arrived, and asking if I wanted some. Does this indicate post-order dropouts from the buy??

 

[bum]

Perhaps he's just giving you the benefit of the doubt and has assumed you're a better brewer now with another year under your belt.

 

[peas_and_corn]

Well, it does take a master brewer to be able to exploit the hops fully.

I previously had a hatred for Camry drivers, but now I'm extending that anti-love across the Toyota range.
Why are they all such retards? :angry:
2 Things Toyota owners need to know:
1. Your toyota can do over 40kph
2. Using your right blinker does not indicate to me that you are turning left.

Ohh thanks, that would put me in the retard catergory 20% of the time.

But changing subject slightly of point 1. I just got a new work ute (not a toyota) and the speedo is out by 10%. So when i am going 60 i in fact am going 54. Shit it is the most annoying thing.

 

[bum]

So, uh, does anyone know if something bad happened in my thread to dalpets or did a princess with power log in?

yup found an emaikl when clearing out the junk folder (very appropriate I thought).

I replied saying thanks for the offer but im obviosuly not a good enough brewer to use chinese hops as the 2009 where absolute shite.

A shame to hear that Pete. All my cars have been toyotas. 2 x coronas manual rear wheel drive and went like the clappers, toyota camry station wagon (and I assure you its avg speed was a lot more than 40kph), and now have a RAV4.

 

[petesbrew]

CM, I guess I should add that my wife used to have an '80 Corona (back when they used steel) and my dad drove a Vienta. He still drove it like a typical camry driver.
It could be the demographic of my local area, but FFS please get out of my way.

I've had two Camry models, an early 93 and a late 95. Among the best cars I ever owned from a financial point of view, as my employer provided and maintained them. They were comfortable enough, never broke down, but a distictly unexciting drive from a driver's point of view.

Had the 93 while living in Perth. Decided to see what it would do on a trip out to Hyden (Wave Rock). The stupid chip allows the car to accelarate OK up to about 160 kph, and then decides it needs to start economising and starve the engine of fuel. Took almost 5 minutes more just to get it to 180 kph. I gave up after that.

All my subsequent cars have been Subaru models. Plant your foot in one of those, and they just keep accelarating until it reaches top speed, you run out of road, or you get scared and slow down. No ridiculous nanny chip on board the Subaru.

So I've been waiting for months for Telstra to finally approve the Android update for my phone. They do so today. I backup and restore my phone as per manufacturer recommendations and yet it still seems perfectly acceptable that I lose all my numbers, settings and apps. Quite annoyed, really.
