You've invited the taxman to have carnal relations with your partner? For a £534 fee?

Crikey..

[fatdoc]

Massively spazzed my wrist going some undercut / layaway project on my board last Sunday... Did the problem though :D

5 days of ice and massage.... What I thought was 2 weeks + off will be 1 week max.


Very very happy!!

Gonna take it easy for a bit though

Had a pleasant time dealing with PPI spam today: Got a missed call from 01204238003. Called back of curiosity, and got an actual answer:

Me: "You called this number"

Drone: "Hi! We are a company called HYC. We want to find out if you are eligible for a Payment Protection Insurance claim..."...

Me: "Sorry, did you say you were dealing with Payment Protection claims??"

Drone: "Yes that's right, and...."

Me: "Okay thanks. Can you take my number off your system straight away..."

Drone: "Errr righ...."

Me: "...also please tell your company manager that he is a fucking parasite, and can go fuck himself. In the arse. Thank you!"

*hangs up*

~end~

Pretty much made my day. Might phone them again when I'm in a bad mood.

If I didn't have a job and needed to feed the kids I'd take this job. The 'drone' didn't call 'you' and he/she wasn't cussing. Bad skills dude. Get a punch bag.

[flyguy]

+1 I hate these calls and think they should be illegal they waste so much of my day at work, as irritating as they are and want to swear at them they are just people doing a pretty crappy job for a crappy wage blame the companies not the "drones"

[Fiend]

Exactly, that's why I specifically said to pass that message to the company manager, and didn't say it directly to the drone.

And no I wasn't angry, I was happy to have an act of petty revenge.

Not done anything yet, but am off down to Bishop for a week - am very excited 

Did High Plains Drifter today - so chuffed 

[rodma]

I just tripled (that's right, fucking tripled) my personal best on the four-finger edges on my Beastmaker: 9 seconds, up from 3 two weeks ago. I set a new PB on every other hold and grip type as well.  Pretty much convinced that a lot of my finger weakness was due to undiagnosed finger injures I wasn't letting heal now.

YYFY 

[Rodma hindsight warning]

Don't post in NNFN in the coming days/weeks that you don't understand how/why you snapped/pulled/popped something in your finger/hand/forearm.

Take it easy, unless you have suddenly lost a lot of weight, then you will be putting greater stresses on your fingers etc. than you ever have before

Great problem!  Nicely done

You might want to consider whether you really are that superior being talking down to an inferior (not quite human?)  'drone' .

Just walked 1 mile to work without crutches  . It's 12 weeks tomorrow since I broke my heel in a fall at Back Bowden Doors. My foot is still really unstable/weak and I can't get a rock shoe on it yet, so I'm still a long way off being fully fit. But I'm well psyched to be rid of the evil crutches!

[Jaspersharpe]

Nice one! Know that feeling.

[Wood FT]

Good to hear Tom, getting there!

You might want to consider whether you really are that superior being talking down to an inferior (not quite human?)  'drone' .

You might want to consider that I was just using a briefer and more convenient word instead of writing "Payment Protection Insurance Claims Company Telesales Advisory Personnel".

[Fiend]

Good effort Tom. Had a look at County Ethics when I was at Back Bowden. Modern highball blah blah whatever it looks fucking high to come off and miss the pads

Passed my cross cutting and maintenance, and felling trees up to 380mm in diameter tickets today. Fuck yeah, I have 2 city and guilds qualifications now, I have no idea what that means but I'm drinking a beer and sporting a chubby whilst basking in my own glory.

[masonwoods101]

Yyfy! Just done LA musse at curbar... Not my first of the grade but probably the hardest. Mainly a yyfy as I've been feeling a bit depressed with my climbing for a few weeks.... Anyway yyfy.

[GCW]

Weeks??  I've been depressed for well over a decade!

[SA Chris]

felling trees up to 380mm in diameter

good work feller (see what I did there!)

[Mike Tyson]

Puntastic  I saw that one coming  boom boom!

[SA Chris]

boom boom!

Cross language punning now - impressive

(boom is tree in Afrikaans & Dutch )

[Mike Tyson]

Treemendous. I thought my punning skills were log, but it appears knot.

[masonwoods101]

I've been pine-ing for some more puns....

Ticked figure of 8 in toms roof today. Had a few goes on it before but never got close to the crux move at all. Today I did the move second go and did the whole problem pretty quickly. First 7B+ 

[Eth]

Turned 42 a couple of weeks ago and just got my first 7B+
And now for some serious Christmas quaffing
