Cough-cough 24th March 2010 12:45 PM
I've toned it down folks;-)

A woman sitting in an Adelaide Pub suddenly began to cough. After a few seconds it became apparent that she was in real distress, and two locals, Bluey and Bazza sitting at the next table turned to look
at her.

"Kin ya swaller?" asked Bluey

The woman signalled 'No!', desperately shaking her head.
"Kin ya breathe?" asked Bazza.

The woman shook her head No!!!
With that, Bluey walked behind her, lifted up the back of her dress, yanked down her underwear and ran his tongue up and down her behind.

This shocked the woman into such a violent spasm that the obstruction flew out of her mouth and she began to breathe again.

Bluey swaggered back to his table and took a deep swig of his beer.
Bazza said in admiration

"Ya know Bluey, I'd heard of that flamin Hind Lick Manoeuvre, but that's the first time I ever seen it done"

Hope so Steve, I really do. I suppose the reason I found it amusing, I thought my days of long hours were actually over. Back in 1992/3 when I won businessman of the year (DTI-IiP, cant remember if I mentioned that so thought I'd say it again) The support services company that I built from scratch became hugely demanding at times.

With 170 odd employees there were frequent times when we would work all day from 6am, then travel 150 miles to work a night job and carry on the following day. I think 40 odd hours was the longest stint without ANY sleep. What peeved me was I always expected to sleep well that first noght...Did I muggery, toss-turn-toss-turn.

Still, I did manage a 13 hour day today. And to you peeps that mentioned part/time, ho bl00dy ho

Disposing of office waste 18th March 2010 7:50 PM
Steve

The unit is covered by WEEE. The WEEE Directive does not require by law that you dispose of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in a certain way.

However, the UK government strongly advises consumers to dispose of e-waste in an environmentally and socially responsible way, by separating it from ordinary household waste and arranging for it to be re-used or safely recycled. Local authorities are required by the Directive to provide free of charge collection facilities for WEEE, and many retailers now offer a free in-store take-back service. Also you should consider that the refrigerant contents to be covered under Environmental regulations. It is likely (if you look on the serial plate) it will say R11 (banned (R12 (vehicles up to around 1994 and now banned) / R22 (restricted use and to be fully banned January 2015)/ probably although R-410A (GENETRON AZ-20, SUVA 410A, and Puron), R-134A R-407C are fine for use but disposal should be classed as a fridge or freezer.There are now strict controls on the handling, use, and release of refrigerants...as you would quite rightly expect.

I've only 'skitted' the surface, more info on F-Gas Regs if you felt so inclined to 'bone-up.'

There are thousands of these things being disposed of incorrectly; make a stance now and take it to the local recycling depot. You will NOT be charged.

DO NOT attempt to take it apart unless you are considered competent to do so.

Indeed you could. The rest of you looks good as well. One when you had some hair:-)
