Then I discovered its been on the tellybox for at least 12 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her and that show have absolutely zero charisma. Usually I'll watch anything quiz related but I cannot abide that shit. sounds like someone is a poor loser My mate has the real hots for VCM , mind you I've seen the stuff he pulls on a night out so that explains it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On the Only connect theme though , can't believe none of the contestants last night knew who Joey Deacon was ... do they live under a rock when they aren't out geeking ? i got the answer on that clue so feeling a bit smug as they needed another picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in the in the 70's and 80's who was called a "Joey" , it was becasue of your man Joey Deacon. If you are around 40-50 years old you should have heard of him. "On Blue Peter. He was a famous ish (I feel they bigged him up on it looking back at the clips) trapeze artist in the 60's of limited appeal, but he had terrible accident with his head and that. They collected bottle tops of the milk to melt down and get him a new wheelchair." He died on the way to get it. Crushed by a funeral horse going past." Dark Peter it was that episode, live as well. Edited February 25, 2020 by Amsterdam_Neil_D Fact Checking a few dates and things. Has to be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good brain trapped in a severely dysfunctional body. Communication at blinking level, Mum dies, all looking pretty bleak. Then he meets a man that can understand his speech. That was REALLY far out, garbled doesn't cover it. They start writing, story gets picked up, they're on Blue Peter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted February 26, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ooh, I've come over all @bickster this morning. A mini workplace soap opera. Portable fan heater (pic) was borrowed from our office yesterday for use in the Conference room. They asked and I said yes. It was never returned. That's fine, they probably forgot. I went looking for it this morning. Couldn't find it. Went to the person who had borrowed it and asked for it back. They looked all awkward and said "eh oh yeah, you said you don't use it" (no I didn't). I explained that we do use it and can I have it back please because I want to use it now (our office perimeter is mostly external windows and no heated internal wall plus our air-con/heating is broken so the office gets freezing). She turns around and opens a press where she had stashed it, but now it also has "Conference Room *" written on it in permanent marker, as if that's where the **** thing now belongs. She laughs and says "don't look at me, nothing to do with me, I was told to do that". I asked who had told her, got my answer and went on my way. I'm looking forward to them trying to actually re-locate it to the conference room now. I couldn't give a **** what's written on it. It was bought specifically for our office. Up to now I didn't really give a shit about that heater, but because of the underhand way they tried to steal it, I have all of a sudden become extremely **** attached to the thing and it will not be leaving our office unless pre-cleared. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I’m currently working on a project that is timely repair and maintenance to a grade 1 listed building, with ample budget. A rare **** pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've only ever done 1 graded building (bmag for about 3 years) The budget was OK (target cost) but some of it is baffling, the rules on what you can't do, we ripped out an old timber raised access flooring, the state of it underneath was incredible, using timber you don't have the flexibility for the cable runs rendering it pretty pointless... We had to use timber again... Not allowed to change it to modern materials and it was slower and more expensive. .. Its under the **** floor!! Nobody will ever see it or know its even there The coved plaster in the bmag was something else, did the lead dome too, the workmanship in that (timber dome underneath) is stunning That building is pretty nuts, you could spend maybe £2-5m on it every year for the next 10 years in refurb projects and still have more to do, it's like a labyrinth in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
