Just a warning to the younger fraternity, just been watching Watchdog on catch up TV and very surprised at the results from testing household appliances for decibel readings, some hair dryers, should not according to the results of the tests be used for more than 2 minutes at any one time.

Now I was brought up in an era where PPE was not issue or if it was it was in it's infancy, drills, power saws, you get the picture most portable tools you all use today, very rarely were ear defenders used in those days, so a warning, if you are using any power tools use the correct PPE as well, I now have tinnitus and in the very near future will need hearing aids, so don't shrink away from using PPE of any description, you will regret it, I do.
 
trouble is the boozer is now too bloody pricey. returning from a call-out yesterday, red hot ( my van's air con is opening the wind down windows ), just fancied a cold Kronenberg. £3.95. FFS. can buy 3 for that in aldi. coupled with the fact that I have to go out in the rain for a smoke. sod 'em. i hope phony blair dies before me so I can dance on his grave. :eek:
smokes, hmmmmm

I go for Tyskie or Perła at 5 cans for a deep sea diver......
 
your order has been adjusted. oops sorry, should have shouted above the female gossip.
I started this thread as a serious issue, as usual when Tel and I get into a meaningful conversation it is soon relegated into the subject of Beer, Wine or getting away from our respective other halves, good fun never the less.
 
strangely enough, i ain't got a chrome dome. just a small patch back of yed where i can't see it so i ain't bothered a ----. ( proceeds to comb hair out of eyes to see to make next post).
