I was just talking to a place about the voscal and they said there's a few problems with it because a trucking company dropped the container. Apparently all the racks ripped off the walls and a lot of equipment has been destroyed. It was meant to be in Perth at the end of the month, but that's not going to happen

Perth? Get the engineer guys to the local titty bar with the miners, they can stick 'em back on the racks ok. She'll be right  :-+  :-DD

I would gladly pay for Ballmer Peak calibration if they can do it  :-+.

Many years ago, when I was in first year engineering, I had a comp sci tutorial/lab after lunch on Fridays one semester. And Friday lunch often had engineering BBQs, that had all you can drink beer, so I'd regularly get to that class a little the worse for wear. And I *swear* that looking at my actual marks from the exercises on days where I was sober and days where I wasn't, I did better in quizzes and programming exercises when I'd had beer for lunch.

oh no!

now loading shipping containers is definitely a task where you're not going to do a better job drunk... or hung over....  I wonder if this happened the day after Anzac day?
