    Stops stuff moving about and falling out of one drawer into the one below etc.

    No brown paper or duct tape required, other than holding the lid of the box in place.

    But then, wtf do I know? I've only done this twice before.
    Your way does have the advantage of stopping things from bins getting mixed up with each other, but surely you don't know nearly as much as said oik. I can't see any situation in which their bags would split and end up mingling their contents...

    (and we know whose job it would be to sort them out at the end!)

      Just say yes to drugs.

      I fear that any such mingling would result in much binning.

      Now that almost everyone has finished for the year, the new dean has suddenly found £15k to spend.

      Bet I still can't get my fecking resistors though.

      Shocking.

      I'd have expected Waitrose at the very least.


      Can someone remind me why the feck I didn't retire this year?

      Oh.

      Yes.

      They didn't offer voluntary redundancy this year.

      Evil curly haired feckers that they are.

      Oh good.

      I've just had an email showing me how to fill out the labels on the crates.

        Have you much experience of sucking eggs, or do you need to be taught?

          Turns out I sort of did them right.

          As a Special Treat, I'm off down to the New Building on Mondary morning to get some fecking idea what the space is like & where the feck everything has to fit.

          I'm not holding out much hope.

          I'll bring the car in tomorrow so I can cart some of my heavier junk back home.

          Time to go, I've had enough of this crap for one day life.

              I can't possibly imagine any circumstances under which anything could go wrong. Have a good night!

                  Bollocks! Dropped the Remoska and broke it

                  A new one will set me back £150, apparently. On the other hand, I do like cooking with it. Looks like I'll be making a trip out to the Lakeland store at a garden centre near Market Bosworth soon.

                    Yep I was suitably appreciative, one hopes the 'builder' involved felt his ears vaporise.

                      We have a Lidl 6 way multi cooker. £30 and Fries (deep & pan) , roasts & slow cooks. Absolutely love it, it just needs a "to table attachment". Might find some wood & make one.
