Really? But they know EVERYTHING. Apparently.

Thanks for the reply, in fact the bird croaked overnight. Upon closer inspection it was pretty mauled.

Oh dear, the things I get myself into... So, my old Ma tells me there's an injured crow down the side of her house, can I sort it out? Upon investigation, it's a Jackdaw, a young one, though fully fledged. There are Jackdaws nesting nearby, but not that close that it could have fallen out of a...

Thanks for the replies. I was actually mistaken, it wasn't the circuits with the CV equipment on, it was actually a circuit which powered up their TV screens, and true to form, there's not been the slightest hint of a problem since that one day...

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but meh... I have re-wired a local gym and one of the circuits which powers their treadmills has tripped a couple of times, for no apparent reason. Obviously, all was good on the installation test, although I did use budget CU and RCBOs, and the...

Did you declare the bacon rolls and biscuits, aren't they considered "payment in kind"? :innocent Good on you for doing things above board, but if your customer had been interested in you in her professional capacity, you'd not have known about it for at least a year, not until you'd...

More like the Boston Scribbler.

As soon as you see the picture of the Chief Executive, Graham Dalton, you know they are going to be hopeless. I mean, bad rug or what? ROTFWL http://www.highways.gov.uk/traffic/12769.aspx

Do you spend hours looking for Marathon bars before rushing off to watch Emmerdale Farm? Yep, me too. :^O

I knew an old boy who would always call stuff Multy Kontact, never just MK. Mind you, I'm as bad, I always refer to Lucky Goldstar stuff rather than LG. Must be something to do with age. :D

Actually, I meant their "After Sales Service", rather than tech support. Common sense or patience didn't enter into it, the issue I had was directly with their sales team. Luckily common sense and patience was useful in seeking out the info to crack their product, something I'd never have...

I don't have a real problem with CEF, at least not the guys on the counter, but that's because they don't **** me about. They know that if I get the invoice and find I've been reamed on some prices, they WILL get the stuff thrown back at them, regardless of whether it has been installed or not...

I bought a used PDA a couple of years ago and then shelled out for TomTom Navigator 6 (direct from TT) only to find that because the PDA wasn't on TT's list of approved devices they wouldn't give any technical support. No advice on activating maps, nothing. They wouldn't even take back the...

You sure it wasn't the spirits? Wooooooo-ooooo!

I like to think "twoddle" too, when I'm trying to get work done and trying not to scare myself, but it's too easy for my mind to wander! Once I've made the mistake of thinking about it, that's it, I'll not shake it off easily. I nearly destroyed my boxer shorts once when I was standing on the...

I have a Disco Commercial and they are bog standard saloons when they leave the factory, then go to LR Special Vehicles to have some bits bolted on and other bits removed. Still would be a total PITA to replace the seats though, Land Rover found that people were exporting brand new Commercials...

OK, seeing as I just denounced that film "Paranormal Activity" as BS, I thought I'd start a related thread. How many of you out there have worked in apparently "haunted" locations? I know I have worked in more than one place that has given me the creeps, and in my youth nearly went through the...

Oh dear, another victory for the publicity dept of Paramount Pictures. It's not a true story, just very loosely based on snippets of other reports of strange phenomena (ie. Bullsh*t). Reportedly shot for $15,000 (although the Director has owned up to having re-shot scenes after the original...

Good for you mate. I'm happiest driving a Midas board, in my element, but lighting desks, eek! My lampy's been trying to give me lessons on how to use his Pearl Expert, but it ain't sinking in......duh. I can physically sort the lighting fixtures out, but the magic that is the control desk is a...

IIRC that's the case only if you get a default judgement against them. If someone owes me
