Brexit Mk2

10/30/2016 6:18 AM

I make no apologies for the language used.

Black country = an area of the UK midlands
Yam Yams = the people of the black country (excluding the Brumies)
Brumies = the people of Birmingham

Painful. I watched about 2 minutes of it and had to stop.

It's hard to tell if she's making fun of the anti-establishment Brexiteers, or mocking the establishment pro-Brexiteers who act as if all the pro-Brexiteers are really this dumb and naive.

Here in the US we have a phrase that explains the 'establishment' in DC. "It’s the big fact of American life now, that we are patronized by our inferiors."

This seems to fall firmly into the category of politics, and should be posted to the breakroom....not the engineering section...

It's even more inappropriate as humor....

..." video depicting a woman who has 'lazy cow' syndrome and treats it with cocaine and heroin and 'doesn't even have the strength to open the benefit letters for the cheques "...

Who is she making fun of? the disabled? the unemployed? drug addicts? The Queen? oh ok then...

Ha, nice try....but no.....You'll have to forgive me my A/C has gone out and I'm a bit testy....I think I might have a case of that lazy cow thing, as I refuse to fix it myself...At 12 years old it has reached retirement age and is destined for the recycler...I'm having a new system installed starting mon, but probably won't finish for a couple days due to the peculiarities of the install....

"I'm having a new system installed starting mon, but probably won't finish for a couple days due to the peculiarities of the install...."

They cant just open a window and wedge it in there with folded up cardboard bits like typical install, huh?

Contractors labor nightmare when that happens.

If it's a spit systems the average mechanically inclined person could replace in a day by themself expect the HVAC guys to be there for at least a week and have at least a dozen callbacks after that to get it to sort of function like it was designed to most of the time when you want it to.

Also how is 12 years old retirement age for a AC system? The one I just installed for my house two summers ago was 20+ years old when it went into storage 20 years ago before I put it in my place.

The compressor alone stopped being manufactured in the mid 1970's!

Beach years for an A/C is like abusive dog years, if it makes it 12 years, it's a miracle...This is a split system that needs to have new copper run...which unfortunately runs in the corners and is boxed in to match the room....that's the fly in the ointment....the rest is just a straight changeout...One day for tearout, one for install, and one for finish and cleanup....Usually this would be a one day affair....

I keep forgetting we have a break room now.

Without the free donuts and cookies it just doesn't stick in my mind.

I didn't know we had a "break room"

Are coffee and cakes served there?

If you accept fluff as a substitute for cake, then yes.
