Christ; they've dropped the entry requirements a lot since my day.

Begs the question; how the **** did *you* get in then? By the back door?

 

Electrons, laddie.

 

Bloody safety nazis! The wiring in my house is all diagonal.

Apparently, Franco wouldn't let them have much cable, so they had to be
economical with it. Shortest route donchaknow.

I didn't deny you were right. There aren't any underground cables ran
into my house and given that the common use of 'Ring Main' includes
circuits within a house I don't believe my usage was completely
incorrect. In my case there aren't any underground cables feeding my
house.

Know everything, no. Know more about this subject than you or I, yes.

The IEE doesn't have a Board of Directors and the people elected to
serve are elected as individuals by the membership, not put in place by
companies. Call it a guess but I doubt you're a member of the IEE.

I knew exactly what risks I was running as I ran them. What would have
got me killed in this case wasn't ignorance, it was complacancy/laziness
and a lack of attention (due to being complacent.) Pretty much the same
risks I run when I ride a bike really.

Yes. I'd rather do something else for a living. Something with decent
working conditions.

 

You can have my cutters the day you pry them from my warm, still
smoking, blackened hand.

 

....after isolating the corpse, natch.

Oh dear, I just bought one yesterday.

"Ok. Maybe I've tripped five breakers, or maybe it was six. Do you feel
lucky, Cable Monkey?"

 

They have got better. Allegedly.

I still wouldn't trust my life to one.

 

About 17p in the current state they are.

 

Me neither, I'd prefer luck.

 

So you have a TT supply! but many dont, housing estates etc are fed by a
circuit under ground known as a ring main! Ring mains are used to spread the
load evenly on the supply cables!

MK have helped dvelope the regs over the years, one of there big earners
from this was tooling up for the 3 pole fan isolator a long time before any
other manufacturer even new the regulation for isolating fans in bathrooms
was going to be amended, thus charging the earth for the poxy switches
because you couldnt buy them from anyone else!!!

Why the **** would you want too!

Just think of the money!

 

1911: Jack Daniel, founder of the famous Tennessee whiskey distillery,
died of blood poisoning due to a toe injury he received after kicking
his safe in anger when he could not remember its combination code.

Tastefull!

 

Getting through a lot of batteries?

 

You really are an excitable little girl, Robs. Try using a full stop
(or period, your Mummy will tell you all about them) instead of
exclamation marks all the time. You ignorant, semi-literate fuckhead.

Once again, a new poster with a patently false email address proves
the fuckhead point.

 

ITYF that would be two-stroke oil (strawberry) and unleaded, actually.

Move with the times, Mister Monotreme.

 

<sucks teeth> Dunno. Wasn't like this in my day.

 

ITYM "special needs".
