Told my men that we had to put in an extra gear to gain lost time. So we did. Good times. I remember when the photocopier broke down. It was keen on the fax machine, but found out that the shredder heavy petted its mother board. After much consoling, it is happier to move on once it was reminded there are plenty more appliances on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She recently typed up and stuck in the downstairs bathroom 'taps swivel left'. This was for the benefit of any builders or tradesmen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Anyone had a chicken and mushroom pot noodle recently? The consistency of the soy sauce is ridiculous now, it's like vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a printer in my office, but my computer is preset on the one we have in the main office as that one prints in colour, so I have to switch every time I want to print something on the one in the office I sit in. Sometimes I forget that. Have to walk down the stairs and down do the main office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go to the stationery shop in the city centre today, to make copies of worksheets for the class. I had never been to that stationery shop before. It was very expensive, but probably not enough to write about it in the 'piss you off' thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be perfect for that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted October 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) I've built up a huge collection of letters/paperwork that are in need of shredding. So I'm going to shred them in a bit. Using my new shredder. Edited October 21, 2018 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm going to shred them in a bit. Using my new shredder. Starting with 1 a4 sheet, can you please tell me how many sheets of a4 you can send through the new shredder at once, before completely knackering the feed, so you have to open it up and manually pull through the aforementioned wad? My record was 16 sheets of a4 through the works shredder at once before I had to do that. I reckon a decent home one could maybe handle about 10. God speed des.
