Tea? Nah. Only on Sundays.
I didn't, though! I went to bed and everything!
Work is just getting more and more bullshitty.

I hate when work gets bullshitty!! Is it just 'politics'? Or is it just shitty work?

I have the older version of that collection (up to Nemesis). The problem is with them is that the quality is not as good as it could be and I'm tempted to get a newer collection and flog the old.

Yay! The service on my car ended up about 3000 NOK cheaper than I had feared. Apparently the replacement of braking tubes was an easier job than expected.

May I ask what LPG stands for? In my chemical engineering world, it always means liquid petroleum gas.

I'll shoot the gunner first!
Exactly, the LPG installation in my car. The fuel cost is about half than regular gasoline, when I installed it four years ago, a full tank of it (~40 litres) cost me less than 20 €, now it's around 30 €, the price has gone up, but so has the price of gasoline so it's still well worth it, and I can do about 450-500 km with it. Also keep in mind that an average salary in Croatia is around 500-700 €.
What's the LPG situation in your country (Norway, if I'm not mistaken)? Your standard is obviously much higher so I'm guessing people aren't too worried about fuel prices, or are they?

LPG is not really much used in ordinary cars in Norway. However, more and more buses use it. Not so much because of the cost, more because it burns cleaner than diesel and thus is better for the environment locally.
The gasoline prices are in fact subject to much complaining in Norway - especially because a fairly big part of the price is taxes. Today, a liter costs a little less than 2€, of which about half is tax. Since the price was less than 1,5€/ltr a few years ago, and the general price level has not gone up nearly as much, many think the tax should be relieved a little, to compensate for the higher oil price (especially since the higher oil price means more money to the Norwegian state anyway). Especially the more populistic among our dear politicians are keen to relieve the fuel taxes.
However, for most people it is not a big concern. If you compensate for the average income, the fuel prices in Norway are pretty much the same as in the rest of Western Europe.

Weekend is here! Started it by watching the Norwegian team win the men's 4*7,5 km relay in the Biathlon World Championships, Ruhpolding, Germany. I'm going to go and buy some beer to celebrate that.
And there will be more skiing this weekend. We had a snowfall on Wednesday, so the tracks should be good for some days now!

I realise that the outside world are also using our terminology. Good 
No, really, I just wondered if it could hold another meaning as well. When something is distilled (Distilled? Here comes the chemical engineer again) down to a TLA, the meaning can be concealed.
Now, time for dinner. The main ingredient? Beef. A large chunk of it.

Maybe it could be used to describe how many drinks to get so many women in bed? Ladies Per Gallon... I think there would have to be some sort of table to determine the alcohol content-- gallons of martinis would come quicker than gallons of beer. "Yep, I got me 1 Lady Per Gallon with Beer, but 4 Ladies Per Gallon with moonshine!
