interesting. According to a quoted post of someone I have on ignore, a bunch of people are making assumptions based on the fact that I am not responding to them.

Of course I'm not responding to you, idiots. You're on ignore.

Funny how their assumptions are making an ass of them, and it ends there.
 


You are one of those truly obnoxious nitpickers that everybody hates— and you know it because the same thing has happened to you over and over and over again throughout your entire life. The elbows you honed to razor-sharpness in the mother of all bureaucracies are obvious. Your type frequents bureaucracies and the gutter. You have that special kind of obnoxious juvenile personality that always insists on getting in the last word, while remaining oblivious to the fact that you accomplish nothing except demonstrating how much of an embarrassment you are to those around you. With that characteristic behavior, your fundamental underlying insecurity is inescapably on view for all to see. Your obvious unfamiliarity with the concepts of understatement, graciousness and modesty are fully reflected by your unceasing, doltish bragging. People laugh at you.

You never know when to quit because you lack the capacity to recognize subtle cues and you utterly lack social skills. As a result, you create enemies wherever you go. Your basic problem is that you are an asshole.


 
Why is it that the only women that look at me like a desirable man are underage, overage, overweight, or so drunk that they need help walking to their front door even though they haven't had a drink since before making out for an hour?

That's not interesting. That, sadly, is normal. :rolleyes:
 
Plea fro Og: Breast Cancer charity needs your clicks

If you click on this site daily their sponsors will pay for free mammograms for US women: The Breast Cancer Site

If you click on the tabs you can support child health, literacy, hunger and environment charities (and animals).

Why not click daily? I do. It costs me nothing except a few seconds. I don't mind supporting a US charity that won't benefit anyone I know because they ask so little of me.

The number of clicks for breast cancer has been dropping. The AH could make a small difference.

Please? Click for breasts.

My private kung fu lesson this morning had to be cut short because my knee is so messed up. this sucks. I'm supposed to be testing for my gray belt next month. Don't know if I can be ready in time if things keep up at this rate.

Ok, what the fuck? I grew up in America using American English, and American spellings. Why do I spell it "grey" when I should be spelling it "gray"? Same goes for "advertizing".

Last month I had our roof overhauled. We have a problem. The tiles on the roof were manufactured before the Second World War, probably in Belgium, and the factory/factories didn't survive the war.

Three of the tiles are cracked. I ought to replace a lead valley but removing the tiles to do that would break more of them. I've been searching reclamation yards for months looking for a few replacements without success. One of our neighbours found six in a yard near London but they had ten that needed replacement. The four least damaged have been stuck back together with glue.

On Friday we were in France, driving back from our holiday in Paris, when we passed a large builders' merchants that had a yard selling roofing materials. We passed it before I could stop so I had to turn right at the next junction, do a three-point turn, and drive back. In the yard we found NEW tiles that looked to be of the right shape and size but bright red. Our tiles were a vivid green in 1939. Now they are a dirty greyish green. We bought ONE tile for 0.78 Euros to take home and check against our old tiles. We asked, in French of course, whether there were similar tiles available in green. The answer? They didn't know. They would have to check with the manufacturer's website. The website was down for maintenance! The builders' merchants would make enquiries and ring us when they had the answer.

At home I checked our new bright red tile against the remains of a broken one. It was exactly the right size and shape with fixing lugs in the right places but still bright red.

The builders' merchants store we stopped at is about two and a half hours from Calais. Searching the company website we found that they have an equivalent store actually in Calais about five minutes from the ferry terminal. I searched further. The manufacturers of the new tile are about half an hour from Calais. Their website gives details of the tile and the available colours - bright red, dark red and weathered red to match old tiles. No green.

Now I have to talk to our roofers. Can they fit the bright red tiles and paint them dirty green? Watch this space.

I've booked a ferry crossing for next month for other purposes but we would have time to visit the Calais branch of the builders' merchants OR the manufacturers of the tiles and could load the tiles in the back of my Volvo estate. Fifty bright red tiles would cost less than my neighbour paid for six old green ones (and he could have four of mine to replace his broken and glued ones).

Red? Green? Dirty greyish green? Who cares if the roof is waterproof?

I try to help and get bashed for it in return. Some of you who think you know me really have no fucking clue.

Og,

Out of ignorance I will ask the question. What are the financial and aestetic drawbacks to replacing ALL of your green tiles with red and selling the green? Obviously there is labor costs involved, but if the tiles are that valuable, maybe you could get a new roof without a major financial outlay and get any other issues fixed at the same time. Not to mention that it should reduce the trauma of getting additional work done in the future for less cost.
