I see where you are coming from we all complain over here about the weather (always too cold, too wet, or too hot (at 25°C ) but at least when it's cold we can wrap up warm and at least be a bit comfortable with a fire if needed but when it's too hot (like what you are experiencing) there's no hiding from it even if you strip down to b&*llock naked you will still be too hot! I don't blame you for feeling uncomfortable when so many people are sharing a tent!!

Yup tried that Rossgo and still too hot! But it probably had a lot to do with the sunburn from packing up in the hot sun

Well, I guess I'm not having owt for breakfast now.

superb mate that's got me crying with laughter

Just had a charity come round to collect some furniture.

Needed a hand carrying a big table down from upstairs. The lad came into help me and put massive black foot marks all over our carpet even though he told me his boots were clean.

Quite reasonably I said don't worry mate I'll clean it up later just take your shoes off and we can continue.

The reply. "Sorry pal I can't come in your house without shoes on" wtf health and safety gone mad

I can't believe you don't have overboots in a bucket at the door!

If he had dropped something on his foot you would be to blame. That's the way it is.

I can't believe he didn't check his boots first.

Resolve is the product you want to get rid of that. But make sure you let the mud dry thoroughly and then break up and remove the majority of it first. Car upholstery cleaner is also a good shout as it tends to be fairly mild. Better to clean it gently two or three times than get it all in one go....the yarn might get damaged otherwise.

Yeah I realise that mate just think its mental tbh.

Our work's is just the same in fairness, but if we come across a small issue like that which has minimal real world value we may tell someone to look the other way or go for a cup of tea and thinks will be resolved when they return

I was the same Blade, black ops as it were. But times are changing and I've had to try hard to resist the urge to 'just get it done'. If you succeed in getting something done outside of procedure, no on ever thanks you for it, they just assume the procedure worked. But if you stuff up and cause an injury or equipment damage you get hung. So in the end it gets you no where with the company and opens you up to risk. In this day and age it's not worth it.

Stop being sensible Kiwi

There will always be black ops and nightshift jobs or the world would stop turning

Not where I am anymore. It's got rediculous. If a job is done under a WOrk Order the completed and signed EOD had to be scanned and attached to that before close out. If it's a rountine job, a EOD or Work Instruction still must be used and signed then dropped into the Ops Super who archives them. If you step outside of a EOD or WI without a TOD, MOC or Ops Super approval it's a written warning. If you cause injury, environmental or equipment damage, your pretty much gone.
It's that ridiculous if I do a back flush on the Potable Water Maker Sand filter it takes me longer to fill out the 5x5 and EOD than the actual task.

It doesn't take a lot of working out why the worlds fastest growing economies happen to be countries in which individuals are the least valued...
What happens long term though..??
-I guess that increasing mechanisation may presumably change the parameters of that outcome.

I know the world is changing fast it's just being an old dinosaur I struggle to keep on the same page some days

Fwiw it seems to me you keep pretty well appraised of the real world..

... Having said that, if you're on the wrong page, I don't think I'm even in the same library let alone the right book as our "modern society".

P.S. Actually FYI Frankie Fkkr1s refers to me as a Dinosaur. < Those youngsters these days.........

Dinosaur?? What's your age???

I thought you knew, I'm Twenty One and a bit. (Still)

You sound like me Mam....she spent her entire life at "plenty one".

Amazes me we are allowed to walk on pavements in this health and safety obsessed world.

If I suggested at work I was going to be moving up and down an access way next to 1 to 20 ton objects traveling at high speed inches away from my position, which if I tripped or misplaced a foot would end in instant death I think I would be shot on the spot.

If I then asked to do it at night time, whilst being drunk out of my skull and wearing dark clothing and almost impossible to see I pretty sure the world would literally end.
