I am utterly humbled by the capacity of idiotism by those that are above me and payed more than me at work.
The plan was one day lamination, 2 days epoxy aplication.
They also figured out that 5 of us would laminate for 28 hours.
So the plan goes we work from 7am to 11am next day, find a time machine, go back 4 hours to 7am and then start paste aplication

Words can't describe it. These people don't deserve oxygen, let alone €4000 per month

Having my grandmothers rižota for lunch and then off to the mechanic, there's a screw in my tire and it shouldn't be there.

If there will ever be a time machine, it will be invented especially for those purposes. Science is of no interest, when it does not earn money.

Got some great binoculars today from "Argos": 10 X 50 Vivitar Sportsman Series, just £39.99.

The eye-cups rotate outwards to give a more comfortable sit against the brow. Any bigger than this magnification and you start to get 'shake', but the 50mm objective lens provides a big, bright image with no problems.

Does the image darken or get shaky at higher magnification?

I just got my first Toytown money from a ATM (the new plastic £5 notes). I don't like them, neither does my wife. And why did they use a picture of the Queen made when she was about forty?

No darkening that I've noticed but at high magnification it is adviseable to use a tripod or lean against something to maintain a steady/non shake view.

I've also noticed the need to make a slight adjustment to the focus at high magnification.

Just back from vets having noticed a lump on the dogs back (a few weeks old admittedly) start weeping.

Turns out it is an abscess so his back area was shaved and the puss was squeezed out and a dose of antibiotics and anti-inflamatories should sort him out over the period of a week or so.
