Had to change a wheel on the sti in the p155ing rain yesterday
I realised I was going to be in work early (in and out on the dot these days since they announced the redundancy) so I thought I'd check the tyre pressures.
On finishing the last wheel, the airline was a bit stiff coming off the valve so gave it a small wiggle. The end of the bl00dy valve sheared off in the airline and the tyre deflated in about a second and was followed by copious amounts of swearing from me.
Got absolutely soaked getting the space saver on to get me in to work then at lunch got the YTS lad at ATS on Eccles New Road to fit a new valve.
Back on 18's all round.

This thread title is an apt name for the guy who's just arrived in the car park at work.
We have a big gate that slowly rolls out of the way when you swipe a card through a reader about 20ft in front of it. On each of the gate posts is a sensor and if you break the beam as the gate is closing it will stop and open again.
Except it didn't when the lazy guy in the 58 plate Civic tried to use the front of his car to break the beam instead of swiping his card.
At first he thought he wasn't far enough in to break the beam, so went forward again but the sensors must be broken and the gate kept on coming. He couldn't reverse because he would lose his mirror on the gate and so the gate made contact with the car half way down the passenger door.
LOL. Gonna go down in a bit to have a look at the damage.

our 3 plants in the midlands are on there *****, they have been on one shift for a while now, anyway the offer that is on the table is upto 3 months off on 80% pay and permission in that time to go get another job, they are hoping this will help reduce costs.
our place is still on 2 shifts and does not look like its that bad as them at the mo, but **** me what an offer, i would jump at that as you could earn the 20% no probs an then the rest is a christmas bonus. i would not get this offer either due to me doing an apprenticeship, my work gaurantees me finishing my course so im sort of ok for another 20 months
Just got to sit back an ride the rough waves for a while. hopefully the waves will calm down soon
