Cod with gravy?

Come on DB, don't keep us all on tenterhooks.
Have you found a new way of synthesising energy? Or is it conclusive proof of the God particle? Or, better still have you discovered a cure for baldness?
A little more information surely...

Pleased that the renovation work on our bathrooms has finished. 3 weeks of living like a tramp, trying to avoid spending time at home in the evening by staying at work late/going out/going for late night runs/not watching TV and going straight to bed (reading TZ on iPad) because of all the dust and clutter created by builders who have taken over the place.
The dust really does get everywhere...even over clothes in closed wardrobes?!
Had major clean done yesterday with professional company, place is liveable again. Now to unpack the boxes that we put stuff in to give the cleaners access. It's like unpacking after moving house.
My former line manager called today, and collected my laptop, security pass, and corporate expenses card.
I am now officially free. It's a strange feeling, but one which I can heartily recommend.

im beginning to think that this was a bad idea.
Not the best chippy. PM me next time, I know some crackers!
The gravy is Northern, but with chips, often a pie, not as such with fish, but chuck a fish on top of the gravy laden chips and that's ok.
A head teacher I worked with once had a major coronary not long into his tenure with us. Four-way bypass and he was off for six months. It wasn't that long after he returned to work when he'd nip into the dining room for the dietary salad he was supposed to have - with his dinner on top: salad, meat, gravy, or salad, spag bog, etc. His plate was often an equilateral triangle in cross section. No idea how he survived. Still going I think, 20 years later.
Why do all Manchester hotels only have 2 lifts? In order for lift management software to be able to do anything clever, in terms of pre-positioning, you need at least 3 from what I understand.

Presumably they do without lift mangement software. ;-)
Off to a band later, fat tits and tats, not sure it'll be my cup of tea
Just discovered Isklar sparkling water........... fantastic.
Delicious

Amongst men in the kitchen it probably divides opinion, but I for one am not a particular fan of the garlic press.
The flat of a wide knife, palmed, with the then crushed garlic chopped a much better technique I think.
I have a brand new, but dead, First Capital Connect watch on my desk.
I can't decide whether to get a new battery for it, or chuck it in the bin.
That's my favoured technique but it can lead to garlicky fingers.
Anyway, I've just strapped on my new Speedy and I'm already thinking, "What's next?"

Stupid, stupid project manager. "Can you drop everything else and do it now?" -I reply that there's no point, because of all the dependencies. "Can you drop everything else and do it now?" etc. etc.
Builder arrived today, made lots of noise, ripped up a floor, created dust and destroyed a wall.

In Germany it would appear the 'form' is to bang the table with one hand after the presenter has finished.
It feels a bit odd to me - I'd rather clap, but don't want to be the odd one out. :)

Hopefully I am the only TZUK forum member to have drunk his own piss.
Anyone else care to confess?
In true Spinal Tap mode, drinking someone else's doesn't count.
Agree, I am surprised every time I attend a presentation in Germany (and I am German, just have worked outside of the country for well over 20 years).
You are Bear Grylls and I claim my £10.
Regarding pee drinking, can you still use the 5 second rule if you drop it on the ground?
Thank God - I knew I wouldn't be the only one.
Actually it was Ross Salmon. Anyone remember him?

Tomorrow morning the movers are coming and afterwards it will be my last day at the old job - farewell party included.
Then early flight on Friday morning...

Ambliance or Ambulance

Yes or No
Right or Left or was that wrong!.
I'm so confused.
I've only just realised that I've been wearing odd shoes all day. Just call me Garret Fitzgerald.

To the wanker in the R8 who nearly ran me off the road in his attempt to get one place in front of me in the traffic tonight - well done (with your made up pseudo private 'cheapo' private number plate. I am glad you appeared to suffer an uncontrolled bowel movement after realising I was a) in uniform and b) my car has covert grill lights.
BTW, not the brightest move to put your phone to your ear to avoid eye contact at the next set of traffic lights - tosser!!!.

Lol!
Back in the day, I've had the occasional slip-of-the-finger onto the blue-light switch: easily done with motorbike gloves on - and the proximity of a idiot road-user was entirely coincidental. ;-)

I received my first set of varifocals yesterday and am very happy. I can see the date again on my watch!
This demonstrates remarkable restraint on your part.
I think I would have had to arrest him, and then have his car impounded and then crushed...Just as well I'm not in the Job.
Should I Hoover the stairs or have a crap first?
The hoover will make a hell of a mess, smearing and grinding the crap into the carpet. I'd take the crap after you've hoovered.
It's the 'Random Disclosure' thread.
So, my stairs carpet is minging, or I could do with a crap, would be more on topic.
Personally I'd hoover the stairs on the way up for a dump

I had Thai food last night. My morning turn-out earlier still smelt of poo
Respect the past, live the present, protect the future
This forum is a constant source of amazement to me
First day in my new job today. I wish I had sorted out the apartment already, its going to be tiring to commute 2+ hours every day.
Or in some cases bewilderment ;)

Way off. Health-related only in the broadest sense.
