No idea, they usually announce the summer shift patterns on the day they start, which is usually the 1st of July! To make it even easier they seem to try out a different system every year so who knows what to expect. Basically I don't make any plans for those two months and just hope for the best We can only re-enact the signature if there's a Chinese bike present for us to push over first

Well that's me f**ked too then, holiday ban and stupid shift patterns all July and August every year.

If it'd make you feel better, I can recap all the problems I've had with my BMW

No crap excuses this time, you!

To derail once again and go back to the earlier mention of Space Engineers... updated it over the weekend, still runs fine on my computer but the addition of planets makes its biggest flaw all the more painfully apparent - maximum speed is still 104m/s! Less than an H2R! I created a new game with a single planet and from my spawn point I pointed my starting ship at the planet and began flying forwards with no inertial damping. Then went to make my dinner. TWO HOURS LATER it got to the planet Something doesn't quite work about a large scale sandbox space exploration game where the fastest ship can't even achieve 0.5% of escape velocity

I keep meaning to bring my copies of "A Heavy Metal Christmas", "A Heavy Metal Christmas Too", and "Darkest Carols Faithful Sing" into work so I can subject everyone to them, seeing as it's less than a month away now http://static9.therichestimages.com/cdn/864/432/90/cw/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/christopherLee.jpg

Properly fixed! Quadruple fixed!

Aha, my lift seems to be back on again!

Way to assume the worst, Hoggs! Glorian was clearly referring to the factory streetfighters. Oh, who am I kidding. As a side note, last year I saw one of the cringeworthy Kawasaki girls leave fake tan marks on the tank of a white Versys

Simplicity can be a lovely thing sometimes! That's why I run a CG247, never having to faff about with calibration is the most wonderful thing ever Although I was very confused one time when everything went very very blue... then realised I'd stuck a post it note over the ambient light sensor. Oops.

...Isn't that why everyone goes?

Pro tip: Lean around them, press EVERY SINGLE BUTTON BETWEEN THE CURRENT FLOOR AND THEIR FLOOR, then get out of the lift before the doors shut and take the stairs or a different lift.

So let me get this straight, your signature has said "Waffles" at the bottom for as long as I can remember, but now that we actually have a thread discussing waffles, you take it out?

I feel your frustration. I'm in the process of trying to standardise the mess of email signatures used across the E&R Group and it is NOT proving fun.

I could probably FedEx everything back to my house and it'd still be cheaper than the train!

We have three sets of tarot cards lying around, one is a Hello Kitty deck. It's all greek to me though. I've always been a Pictionary man. As mentioned in the earlier thread, I love a good game of Risk, but I always have trouble finding people to play against.

Au contraire, I had a Cluedo party a couple of weekends ago! Everyone had to come dressed in the colour of their character and drink every time they entered a room. Cue me repeatedly calling people back into the same room over and over to make them drink more

Might give it a go, although I anticipate god awful rail prices Although I guess my main alternative is to set off at the crack of dawn and ride up on my CG

I've played Gloom once on a rather awkward date, it was quite a good laugh even if the rest of the evening wasn't I never realised there were so many different version of Monopoly... I think I need one where the pieces all velcro to the board and the board clamps onto the table so that the game survives when someone flips it. My family do NOT play fair. Anyway, back off topic... Porridge. Does anyone ACTUALLY enjoy porridge, or is it all just Scottish people pretending to so that they can add a little bit more to their national identity? Personally I think that they already have more than enough what with haggis, bagpipes, incomprehensible accents, and men in skirts.

Still not heard anything from the guy I was getting a lift from. Bugger.

I have a pi at home. Well, half of one. Putting the filling in when I get back from work

Just as planned... Bwahahaha

That could work! Although I don't think it would beat maple syrup and bacon.

BUT FORGET ABOUT THOSE... Let's talk about livestock. Mmm, cows. Sure are tasty. What are your thoughts on organic vs non-organic farming? Or anything else completely unrelated to board games? WAFFLES! TASTY WAFFLES!! WITH LOTS OF SYRUP Maple syrup? But it has to be the good stuff, not the crappy supermarket type that's bulked up with various fruit syrups. We have a huge bottle that my other half brought back from a trip to Canada in the summer, it's awesome. She also brought back a crapton of beef jerky and peanut butter M&Ms, but they didn't last as long
