08:23.15morsingBeer
08:23.30wethrinYes, good idea
08:24.17gregjanother day I have to sit in the office, instead of being on the airfield
08:25.07wethrinYou're doing it wrong
08:25.17gregjam I
08:25.36gregjI need a contract that allows me to do things in my own space, instead of forcing me to sit in an office
08:25.53gregjI'm working on projects that don't require any interaction with anyone for long periods of time anyway
08:33.25*** join/#gllug chrisp (~wibble@host86-178-201-145.range86-178.btcentralplus.com)
08:35.23wethrinYes. You're doing it wrong by being in the office instead of flying
08:35.30wethrinYou need to find a job you can do from the air :)
08:38.42gregjit takes a bit of training, I need to earn to get that training done :-)
08:38.55gregjand then you need experience, which means earning more to get 200+ hours
08:39.04gregj(200*£95)..

10:56.38gregjwouldn't want to sit on the side with the flap
11:19.22z00daxso, on a provisional license - insurance at £480/yr, going to full UK -> £2130/yr
11:19.29z00daxwhat is wrong with the world :)
11:33.21gregjyou can't drive on your own on the provisional licence
11:33.30gregjso the insurance must have been for the other driver
11:33.41gregjbut I agree, 'clean' UK licence - insurance way too high
11:33.52AndyMillarz00dax: my insurance is about 380/year for the two bikes
11:33.56gregjon the other hand, way too many racer boys driving like arseholes
11:34.15gregjmy insurance is about 700
11:34.16AndyMillar(I think I'm insured to do up to 45k miles as well)
11:34.20gregj(but that's cos I live in NI)
11:34.42gregjsame care, somewhere in england country side - £300
11:34.51gregjs/england/english/
11:35.05z00daxi pay about 450 for my car at the moment- this is for the wife
11:35.11gregjs/care/car/
11:35.13gregj;>
11:35.21gregjinfobot: you forgot my earlier errata !
11:35.22z00daxi guess a landcruiser isnt the most economical thing to insure as first car for a lady
11:35.28gregj:D
11:35.36gregjits not fast, and its a tank
11:35.44AndyMillarz00dax: you buying her a tank?
11:35.59z00daxand she will have the baby with her in the car, which is why I want this to be what she is in on the road
11:36.21gregjdon't buy people big cars as their first ones
11:36.30gregjget her something small
11:36.34AndyMillarz00dax: you're *only* allowed to do this if she can see *properly* out of the windscreen, and understands to check her blind spots
11:36.48gregjbut anyway
11:36.58z00daxAndyMillar: how do you mean properly see ?
11:37.00gregjdoes anyone actually know a place where I can show up, pay some dough, and drive a tank for few hours ?
11:37.16AndyMillarz00dax: I see so many people barely able to "peer" over the front dashboard
11:37.28gregjyeah
11:37.34gregjI drive past two schools everyday
11:37.43z00daxso, another non issue with the LC, the seat comes up and adjusts to body weight
11:37.53gregjthe biggest danger is caused by mommies driving big fucking landrovers
11:37.56gregj'cos its safer'
11:38.16AndyMillargregj: it's safer for them, not for the rest of us
11:38.29z00daxpretty much
11:38.31gregjparking like cunts, and driving in the middle of road - cos they can't judge the car size
11:38.45gregjand yes, most of them are barely visible over steering wheel
11:39.05AndyMillargregj: I see the same thing with non-silly-big cars, but it's worse with the bigger ones
11:39.06gregjand of cousre looking back, when kid talks to them
11:39.17AndyMillarz00dax: I probably get almost killed by someone with a car too big for them every 1-2 weeks
11:39.36gregjI drive a boat (cos its fucking long)
11:39.37z00daxAndyMillar: that sounds more like people who dont know howto drive
11:39.50gregjit takes special skill to know how to drive bigger car then an vauxhall astra
11:39.50AndyMillarz00dax: it's predominantly women in large cars
11:39.57gregjit's men too
11:40.03gregjlets not be sexists
11:40.04AndyMillar(because husbands put them in large cars to protect them, because they can't drive :-))
11:40.21gregjlets be honest, they are safer in smaller cars
11:40.24z00daxAndyMillar: sounds like a plan :)
11:40.26AndyMillargregj: I do a round trip commute of 140-160 miles
11:40.33z00daxalthough, where we live this isnt a large car per se
11:40.35AndyMillarand it's predominantly women in large cars :)
11:40.36gregjmine's about 4 miles round trip
11:40.40gregjbut I drive past two schools
11:40.47z00daxmy mondeo parked outside tends to be the small blue thing
11:40.48gregjso thatputs me in a lot of danger from mommies
11:41.03gregjmy car is always the longest (insignia)
11:41.19z00daxso here is the other thing with insurance, paid Annually. 833.16, paid monthly 1.573.23 per year
11:41.51gregjthat's a scam
11:42.08gregjcall obdumsman (or whatever was the spelling of that word)
11:42.12z00daxor, Admiral insurnace, Annually : 908, monthly annuall toal : 2152.61
11:42.18z00daxwhat sort of an APR is that at
11:42.22AndyMillargregj: no, I think that's pretty fair
11:42.34AndyMillarhopefully they profile insurees, and find that those who pay monthly are higher risk
11:42.37z00daxthey are just counting on people not realising that the annuall one is that much cheaper ( or they only use one of the two on the comparison sites )
11:42.49gregjI pay montly, cos there's no APR on mine
11:43.02AndyMillarI pay annually
11:43.04gregjit's just (rate-initial pay)/10
11:43.46z00daxyeah, directline do something like that as well
11:44.02z00daxbut they make it /9 and do 1 installment with +15 as admin to cover monthly
11:44.34z00daxso to a more #gllug specific question - do you guys add the servers sitting around at home into your home contents insurance ?
11:44.49AndyMillarI don't have servers sitting around at home ;)
11:45.01z00daxi tried doing that... they wanted £100 a month extra
11:45.30z00daxI tried to explain to the person that while the dl360 g4 _was_ worth £2500 at one point, i got it off ebay for £150
11:45.41z00daxAndyMillar: in that case, you are not doing it right
11:45.55z00daxAndyMillar: also, how is ceph ?
11:46.07AndyMillarz00dax: we've not had any more time to play with it yet :(
11:46.33z00daxok, let me know how it goes. We have a nice repo coming together with the libvirt + qemu + ceph stuff all integrated and tested as one
11:46.37z00daxshould make life a bit easier
11:46.53z00daxand actually provide an update path that is in sync with all the components
11:49.54gregjI don't have to declare items above 2500, so I only had to declare my mbrp
11:50.14gregjrest is just a total sum declaration, and you have to have some proof of purchase
11:50.19gregjto get the monies back, or items
11:53.02z00daxwonder how people with tin roof's on the DC are coping with the heat these days
11:56.04gregjdepend what state they are in
11:56.10gregjif they are nice and shiny, all good
