Mark W Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 What's wrong with them? My one has been working perfectly fine. It decided to start working offline, and the only thing you could do was use it as a photocopier as apparently the connection for the scanning section of it wasn't connected or some bullshit. Had to bury the end of a USB lead right in the middle of it (why the f**k would you put the port for a USB lead underneath the scanner tray so you have to use a shitload of cable just leading it back out of the printer unit itself?) and reinstall everything just to get it to let me do anything - all the wireless functionality seems to have shit the bed despite it all being connected up fine.

Ha. I swear I'm the only person that has no issues with printers. I think Muel here has had lots too with all or most of the printers he's had.

Mark W Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Haha, indeed. This one was perfect right up until tonight when it just shit the bed apropos of nothing. I'm usually fine with printers, this one just seems weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I f**king hate printers, they have one goddamn job and just seem completely unable to just perform that task consistently. Printers and ice machines in pubs are as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Getting told some pretty blatant lies today, and it's doing my head in. "I emailed you about so-and-so yesterday" Lie. "Oh, you're the second person to tell me they haven't received one, but it doesn't happen to every email, must be your end" Lie. "Can't implement that super simple if/then statement (that you've kindly written for us so we just need to copy and paste it) in our proprietary CMS system that would save you from having to edit 30,000 products manually." Lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Registered to vote a couple of weeks back, and decided to go for the "in person" option as I thought it'd be interesting to do things 'properly'. Turns out that on election day I'm going to be about 140 miles away from where my polling station is, and also working. Pretty annoyed that I didn't opt for the postal vote option as that would have been way simpler/easier, and the non-postal option I chose means I'm now shit out of luck to vote at all. This was all pretty obviously going to happen so I don't really get why I didn't just go for the postal one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ah, rad - I thought they closed way earlier. Looks like a f**k of a long drive after work for me then Cheers dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me of course, check your polling card when it arrives it should have the opening hours on it. Unless you're planning on voting either UKIP or Conservatives cause polling stations close at 4pm sharp in those cases Edit: Not that I'm a real fan of Labour either!

Mark W Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I just checked online and it says 10pm so we should be good. My polling card's at my home in Mid Wales so I can't really check that to make sure but I'd imagine the online biz should be pretty accurate. I might vote Plaid just to keep all you f**ks out - hopefully they'll be more UKIP than UKIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mark - there's a number to call that allows you to change your voting style to post/proxy, despite the fact the deadline has passed. Get someone at home to check on the polling card for more info. I've had to do much the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Looking at the space in the lounge, Mike thought to himself "I'm gonna crack open a beer and build this bike up" "LOL no you're not m9, we're staying put" said the cranks. Mike cried and cried, until there were no tears left to cry. I thought with it being a new bike they'd come off with a bit a tap from a mallet, but apparently not. Gayyyyyyy.

Jolfa Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Gone messed up my sleep routine again, woke up at 6am and I've been reading whether corned beef will give you asparagus piss. Apparently yes it will and that's why I have stinky piss, but not everyone will be able to smell it, good news. Also on a piss related note, beetroot is not a good fruit juice ingredient.

Jolfa Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 In other news, someone has tried to break into my mates Sil80, they clearly had no f**king idea what they were doing and have consequently shagged the drives door and boot lid and the glass seals on both. And not so much angry but going back to Jardo being the most over 18 person evarrr, I got ID'd last week in a bar by a 4ft girl. I am 29 and clearly the most over 18 person in the universe.

Ross McArthur Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Cast my postal vote and sent it off. Two days later I get a letter through the door. It was my postal vote.

Joe Sheehan Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Finished work. It's 11am. All this productive time wasted because UK mail somehow delivered my plastidip elsewhere so I can't build my bike back up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 What sort of f**ktard designed BB's and BB tools? Oh yeah let's make a tool that only fits one third of the way into the BB, so it constantly falls out, or slips out when you put any force through it. f**king twat.

AdamR28 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hollowtech? It seems there are two 'standards' for this... they have changed the OD of the cup at some point, new tools are too small for some cups and do exactly as you mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a SRAM GXP BB with my Omnium cranks and they were piss easy to put on and take off with the 1/2" drive BB tool I got from my LBS. Actually surprised they had one for £10.

jeff costello Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) mike, i have no idea what you actually working on. but slipping tools can occasionally fixed by holding them in place with a quick release skewer or some kind of threaded bolt (with washers if necessary) i've successfully used that method with cog cassettes and (bmx) bottom brackets. edit: like this. second and third pic.

MadManMike Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm using a tool that has long teeth with a BB that only accepts 1/3 of the length of those teeth. The part of the tool that would accept a wrench is so f**king small only half of my adjustable fits on to it. Once you finally get the wrench on it, the b*****d thing falls out of the BB. I need to use a washer and a crank bolt to keep the thing in, but the washer I have is so big, the adjustable wrench doesn't fit on the small space it's allowed. I just don't get why people can't standardise shit and design stuff that actually f**king works!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
