come up with something that saves your company £250,000

You stopped Lu's cake allowance?

And if heavy water was used instead?

You use deuterium in your bread?!! Wow. How do you dispose of all the victims?











Hmmm. Just looked this up. Deuterium isn't very toxic.......so bang goes the whole storyline from that 1960's Australian drama in which a very human-like alien came here because his planet needed deuterium to survive, only to discover.......sorry.................what was the question again?

You know those days when you come up with something that saves your company £250,000 a year and it gives a better product to the customer. That

The last twelve months of my hard work have come together and our customer has approved my revised design. It saves us writing huge cheques each month and secures several jobs for at least five years.

Excuse me for feeling smug, but it has all worked out rather well.

Reported.* Wrong thread. There's nothing mundane about that.









*Of course not.

Yes

I use bakers' percentages for my breads. Quantity of flour (including add-ins such as oats etc) is 100% and then everything else is worked out from that. It's just more accurate, really. Salt is always 2%, water typically varies between 60 and 65% depending on proportion of wholegrain.

So, right next to your scales is a particularly floury calculator?

I have an old fashioned balance-beam set of scales, with cast iron weights. It's semi-permanently loaded with 500g. The only thing I weigh is the flour. The rest is all done by volume...........except the oil, which I just slop in.

Most of the bits for my Kinesis ti build have arrived, but I’m umming and arring about whether to get the LBS to set the crown race on the fork and cut the carbon stearer. I don’t want to bollox it up by hacking it with DIY tools and wreck the fork.

I’m happy to do everything else, it’s just that bit. Trouble is, LBS has a two-week backlog and they’re closed today so I can’t even book it in.

In the meantime, back to more mundane things. England have decided to play Pakistan at cricket for the next five days expressly for my enjoyment, and so I can feel a ‘chairobics’ session in front of the TV coming on this afternoon while I think about the bike build.

I think Mrs Sloth may well top herself if the match goes the full five days.

I don't think either side is still capable of playing a full 5 day match. Pakistan's last 20 matches have ended up 9 won, 11 lost.

Only £250,000? Pshaw! Amateur! Some people do that before breakfast... whilst saving a puppy from a burning building, managing to be a super salesman and battling the Illuminati.

Yebbut I don't like to brag on t'internet.

It didn't rain!! And it's bloody chilly And windy.. long weekend off as I'm off tomorrow ,I never thought I would look forward to a few days off as much as I do now working in a retirement home...when I was self employed bank holidays were a pain especially the Easter one with 2 short weeks.

Well, that's what they say they do.

I've done the watering in the garden, newly planted stuff and pots.

Is that soft or hard water ?

 

[Illaveago]

Not at the same time

You knew what I was going to ask !

 

[Illaveago]

It is grey and has been raining.

My wife just said that the weather has changed from the predicted fine weather for the weekend to showers and thunderstorms . Just in time for the annual Folk Festival !

I wonder if it could be linked with Morris Dancing ?
