Reply to: Late shifters?

Or a sidevalve engine...

Buy a diesel then

237bhp at 66868685757575 rpm.

zero lb feet of torque below 75757463646 rpm

Yuck. I want torque and lots of it, not some whining buzzbox 4 cylinder hairdryer.

It's not gutless it hits 60 in 5.5 seconds does over 150 mph and puts 237 bhp out. You just have to work the gearbox, anyone with even a small amount of skill can do that.

It will eat a porsche boxster or 3.0 Z4


It is the most powerfull 2 litre normally aspirated production engine in the world and no traction control! tc is for gays!

Gutless high revving engines. Yuck.

Torque baby torque. Nice.

It does.... shame she won't let me drive it though! >: >:

9300 rpm, it sounds a bit like a superbike when you get it going

I tend to shift late, but I would not recommend it in an BMW M-Tech, their red-lines are a little too far up.

Compared to Ms N3's Honda s2000 they are like a diesel, that is a high revving car... :lol

I tend to shift late

You're not confusing this with “Shirt Lifting” are you Thready?

Contractor B...Dave...oh sh1t, that's his real name...Well Dave turns up anywhere between 11 and 1:30 but is supposed to start not later than 9:30 and only lives a short tube journey from work"

Hey, maybe Contractor B he's my colleague's brother!!! :-)

Re: re

Why is the work done before 9 am much more valuable than work done after 5:00?

Well, if you're anything like me, it's because you've been to the pub at lunch time |I

Re: re

I'm in at 7:15 every morning...let's call me contractor A.

Contractor A starts at 7:15 and stays till about 4:15ish.

Contractor B...Dave...oh sh1t, that's his real name...Well Dave turns up anywhere between 11 and 1:30 but is supposed to start not later than 9:30 and only lives a short tube journey from work.

We can tell that Cont B naffs off within 15 minutes of all the other contractors, yet gets paid the same day rate as the rest of us. Then he gets his kinickers in a twist when the client & agency tell him his contract is not being renewed...Heck, some days he just don't turn up at all!

It's quite funny when he sits there bleating on about how unjust the world is and that he has been nothing less than professional and hard working during his time here.

Dave, if you listening, it's as we all told you yesterday while having a fag...you're a fecking idiot!

Re: re

In winter, arrive at 10, leave at 5:30 with 1/2 hour lunch
In summer, arrive at 9, leave at 4:30 with 1/2 hour lunch

7 hours always, no more, no less. Work always gets done within budget. Not because I'm brilliant. I'm not! It's just I've been here so long (9 years), that it's become almost mechanical.

After this contract, I'll definitely leave computing, it's DEAD BORING!!!!

At the place where I think sasguru works. There were a group of people I called the breakfast club. They would get in at 8 check email. Send e-mail to each other to go for bacon butty. Come back at 8:45 pretend to feverishly work and practice their look of disgust and tutting for the post 9 arrivers. Of course they were all gone come 5.

I never take any notice of the company start time. Usually in at 9:30 if the boss is happy who gives a fook?
