Hiram Abiff

Who the heck is Hiram Abiff?

I was sounding it out phonetically to see if it was a "gotcha", but I guess you'd have to be drunk for it to sound like something you'd be stupid enough to repeat for the joke to be on you...

I feel your pain !

When still “ working “ for a living I would work occasionally alongside a fellow engineer who was commonly thought of as a bit of a kn@b and had vaguely extreme ideas that he flirted between

Anyway one day when he had his kn@b head on, he an electronics engineer tried to tell me a mech / steam engineer that i was testing a steam trap with a thermal camera INCORRECTLY, cheeky sod and of course he was wrong !

All I said was “ oh for Gods sake Phil you stick to electrons and I’ll deal with the thermodynamics it’ll be better than chasing rabbit holes

For my trouble I was within an hour hauled before HR Dept and given written warning for disrespecting another’s religious beliefs, any further transgressions would result in dismissal

Yikes !
 
My wife was fired from a job (she worked for a public sector union) for telling a coworker that another coworker made her so mad she could kill her. So much for unio s standing up for the working man or woman eh?
 
Our world becomes stranger every day , not a damn thing to be done ‘bout it , so it appears …. no doubt “thought police” are forming up at this moment ….
 
There was a report in the British press about a WWII re-enactment event and a group of about 8 chaps arrived in German Army uniforms. To my astonishment, apparently this caused offence in some quarters. I don't know when people became so over sensitive and ready to be offended by anything. I heard a recording of a speech in the 1960s by the famous RAF flying ace, the double amputee Douglas Bader, at some Battle of Britain Association,. They had invited the famous German ace Adolf Galland, who became friends with Bader when the former was shot down and captured by the Germans losing his prosthetic legs in the process. Galland organised a safe corridor so that the RAF could air drop another pair for Bader. Someone had asked Bader how he had the temerity to invite a previous enemy and he replied "If it wasn't for chaps like him there wouldn't be a bloody Battle of Britain association!"
