Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Haha. I get a mild case of OCD too if i have a desk etc... Weird.

My love of silence got that extreme that i used to work with a friend that sat at the desk next to me. Not Barrier or anything blocking our view at each other, however it got to a point where we would email each other in coversation instead of looking a meter to the side and actually asking lol

I don't mind a bit of banter around the office and background noise helps. in our industry, it's meant to be loud with people on the phones etc however when it's mindless BS because our junior can't remember what she had for lunch the previous day let alone where a candidate is currently working, pisses me off.

Eg: Yesterday, the boss came in and we were running a brainstorming sesh for this new campaign. He was asking all of us about candidates that we're working with. I could tell you where they worked, how long for and where they lived without looking. The other senior consultant was close. Our junior couldn't even remember surnames accurately! WTF?!!? So when she asks me the same question 3x in a day, I crack the shits.

You really were born in England weren't you? :P

Back in Bris. Got home just before midnight last night. Plane from Mt Isa was late leaving, but I upgraded to business class, assuming that we would be doing laps of Bris with all the rain.

Chivas ftw, didn't care how late the plane was haha

Also, have all paperwork with me to go get some shiny new rego plates today!

Agree, Mindless conversation is annoying. Also another thing that grinds me is unnecessarily loud phone voices in an office.

Just unnecessarily loud voices In General Scott haha like people that have to talk rediculously loud when they are right next to you, fair enough when there is a lot of background noise and you are gonna struggle to hear but when there isn't and they are like yelling.

we have one of those, he also puts his phone on speaker so its double loud voice! Last week I had on noise cancelling bud type ear phones and proper industrial noice cancelling ear muffs and I could still hear him when there was a break in the music

He's calling you a pom bloody smash 'im

He gets it

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
