Punched tape? Whats that??One of my early summer holiday jobs was supervising a (?)Bridport CNC milling machine doing its thing and changing the jobs (NOT the punched tape programme, just the sheets of material that it was set to drill lots of holes in!)
I thik it's the stuff we used to find in drawers and cupboards that hadn't been opened for years.Punched tape? Whats that??
You kids! Punch tape is what paid for most of my first mortgage.Punched tape? Whats that??

I have been retired for some time nd I have never shopped at Tescos over a weekend.It USED to annoy me that retired folk go shopping and clog up Tescos over a weekend until I got old. Now I realise it is a spite thing and happily do it myself.
The fun bit is when you get into a queue of younger office types at lunchtime and you dither getting coins out of your purse (filled specially with coppers only), sort out your paper vouchers and perhaps ask for a seat or glass of water at the checkout. The more harried ones sometimes even pay for your stuff.I have been retired for some time nd I have never shopped at Tescos over a weekend.
I always go to Sainsbury's during the lunch hour when all the office workers are rushing around, the fun you can have when you are old!
If that had been me, it would have printed all the failed ones when it kicked back up again! Grrrr!TECHNOLOGY !!
Needed to print out some stuff today Printer was on [ links to laptops by wireless ] so hit Print
Nada Snarled and deleted the file from printer queue and tried again - same result
Said a few words , switched off printer from mains - went and made coffee then switched it back on again
Nada !! Scratched head as my tame guru is away from home at present.
Decided to shut down the Laptop [ it's getting on in years and can't be updated so is not used for everything now - mainly Word processing ]
Went away and did some other stuff
Hour later came back , fired up Laptop , got File for printing on Desktop , hit print and HOORAY - success.
Heaved a BIG sigh
BUGGER!They built the dam thing!!
Thank youBUGGER!
I hope you get it sorted soon
Thank you
I've started my own search now, seems Siemans stopped the motor and encoder in 2019
I'm sure I'll get somewhere, a call to the local machine rep is next on the list it would be a shame if the next machine investment went to another firm
Remember doing a stock take a few years ago, normal to check the high value kit. There was a £30k part still in its box tucked away at the back of the engineering store, looked as though it had been there years. Wait time for the part was near 12 months, without it the plant would not run.14 week wait for a new motor and encoder
Hope she gets bored and moves on, stay safe
However, I can understand that the driver could not do this if you could not produce a pass.
Skiathos again ??. Lovely place. We might go back....for the third time.WAMT at 1.08am?
Fire alarm in my hotel going off when I was in deep sleep having only been asleep for about 50 mins. Completely disorientated but still got out before pretty much everyone else!
WAMEM* was how selfish some people were, only interested in what free stuff they could screw out of the one member of staff who was looking after us.

Welcome to TP.I had plans for the evening with my friend, but she just texted that she wouldn't make it(. And the fact that I have to come up with something else not to spend the whole day at home annoys me a lot
Toot toot!WAMT - Relatives of my neighbours who have to shout and beep their horns every time that they arrive or leave. Just come and go quietly please! We don't need to know that you are on the move!
Thanks! Of course not, it was just the first thread I saw and it made me interestedWelcome to TP.
I'm sure you didn't join just to tell us how annoyed you are with your friend
Why couldn't they port the number?SKY , placed an order for broadband last week at £26 month, cancelled my BT broadband at £64 month, email today from sky - unable to complete order due to failure to port landline number, please ring, rang only to be told order cancelled due to above failure . Why didn’t they just let me know before cancelling at which point I could or would have said forget landline. Now told will have to reorder , that will leave me 7 days of no broadband
Not a happy Sky customer
stupidly I have also gone to sky for mobile in June so now am stuck with that for 3 years
will now ring BT tomorrow to see if I can get it any cheaper
Add to the above the people who get to the till without, apparently, any understanding you have to pay for goods, and only then try to work out where their money is.
