    What a mistake though eh, your captor offers up freedom to the first one to transfer 2k to his account and you cheap out, thus making him even more irate than usual. Not only that, you don't even identify yourself as Captive #8, just go with Captive and wooooah boy have you fucked up.

    Plus captor is clearly on 6 figures.

    It's a cellar...

    So you've gone through this list?

    Thankyou. Some people just won't learn.

    While in GOM mode. People on the other side of the word that you have never met making assumptions about how you manage your companies, how they interact and how much you earn. Just bloody rude.

    fucking stores that say they can do something when they quite obviously can not

    getting some roof racks for the Ranger. Going camping on July 4. Was very upfront with the guy about the date "yeah mate mid-June should be done"

    Didn't hear anything. Ring today "yep, parts have just arrived, we'll book you in for the install. I have an opening on July 30"

    Excuse me what?

    Yeah mate, booked solid until then.

    Ah mate, your man out the front assured me this would get done mid-June

    Dunno what to tell you there mate, so you good for the 30th?

    Mother fuckers!!!

    Do it yourself! What are you? A Polish Chick?

    All sorts of grumpy this week.

    We've mentioned triggering words before. I have a new one to add to my "fermented"...

    Flacid? FLACCID?

    Jesus I've heard that word too many times today, not in a personal context either before any smart arses pipe up, and Flacid is not a word any girl wants to hear.

    Yeah, the humour may fail to penetrate. Tread softly.

    @bones @Crucial To put it in to context a bit, we received a complaint letter about a patient who was puffing on a tube... He spelled it "Chube", which was funny enough but then a colleague pronounced it as "chubby" and apparently it is another word for... Ahem...an erection. Never heard it before....have you?

    Was funny, maybe you had to be there...

    Obviously it lead to discussion on the word flaccid.

    Shudder

    "Quality" German engineering. A bloody misnomer if there ever was one.

    (1) Three year-old NEFF dishwasher has just given up the ghost with a stuffed circulation pump (bearings are knackered). Used about 4 times a week. Last dishwasher was a 15 year-old Hotpoint which was still going strong when we moved house.

    (2) Bosch garden shredder - two years old. £500 as I needed a decent one and you can replace the cutting plate when it's got no more adjustment left. Read the manual and it's a case of taking out a screw, removing the cutting plate and popping a new one in. Victor thinks "this is good, glad I spent the extra money". The screw holding said cutting plate has been driven in at an angle, obviously stripped the thread and looks like it will be hard to drill/easy-out.

    World class engineering and Quality control, my arse.

    That's a completely absurd and very english thing to claim. Give it up.

    Personal experience from a GOM, mate.

    Oh, and the Sony TV I bought 3 years ago is equally rubbish.

    @r-l This is a discussion forum and an opinion like that will get pushback. This isn't anyone's personal blog.

    So it's just the sound of the word flaccid and you don't know it's meaning?

    @tim discussion is expected, your tone is pretty personal a lot of the time, lately anyway.. I could quote a few things you've said "don't post that shit" being one of them, it's just rude.

    @r-l What is personal about it? If someone wants to make an absurd generalisation about German engineers, I'll point out that it's jingoistic.

    @r-l Don't forget that this forum is part of the old internet. It's not a place about being nice to everyone.

    @tim you don't think saying something along the lines of "slipknot fans being too sad to be school shooters" (in response to a slipknot song) is rude or an absurd generalisation?
