    Electricains like power! Electricians like the JUICE! Here's "juice" for you... and though not all the lyrics are totally appropriate, let's take the chorus and remember... RIP, Christina x View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTzGMEfbnAw

    Dan said I could post about anything! Great news! My first thread will be musical...and include: JN BmcG HF AB but I might just spread these over a few threads, rather than squander them all in one Am I allowed to post links to YouTube videos? To make it easy for members to see?

    I like this post a day for 5 days!

    I do hope this game continues! That way I will be able to post totally off-topic stuff, like a song I like or a recipe or some places you ought to visit...stuff like that! Damn! I've just posted this on a Saturday, so it doesn't count towards the 5...what a waste of talent! Hmm...maybe I'll...

    Day 5 - The new Transit :-(

    Ah, the dreaded auto stop/start thingy. I have this on my car and I hate it! I often forget to switch it off. However, I am told that I can re-programme it so that it defaults to off, so I'd have to push the dash button to enable it again. The problem is that I am useless with these menu-driven...

    It's with regret I have to inform you, Christina (Sparkychick) has passed

    Such sad news...she was so brave talking about her illness and always trying to put a better spin on it. I feel as if the sun has gone behind a cloud... Que suenes con los angelitos, querida...

    Day 5 Thread 5 - Not what I wanted on a Friday

    TBH, I only ever heard this term in deepest Lanarkshire when I worked there for a while (never again!). It's basically a sort of crude, mult-sized aggregate, similar to hardcore, but basically ungraded and of varying particle sizes. it's infill, effectively. Oddly, I used the term "joppit hose"...

    Trainee Electrician with a tool addiction needs ideas. DAY 5

    You can never have too many screwdrivers...flat, pozidriv, Phillips (yuk!) torx, torque, tiny wee ones for stupid wee dimmer modules, and a set of assorted sizes in a case with a spinner handle that takes a ratchet ( go to Halfords for the accessories for that...you'll find out!) plus a set of...

    Day 5 Thread 5 - Not what I wanted on a Friday

    It's always good to cement relationships! It makes them more concrete, and if you keep doing it you end up with screeds of them! Much better than hard-core relationships alone as they need binding. Maybe your delivery driver has a "grush" on you... Grush might not be a common term for most of...

    #5 of my 5 a week...and again, not a rant

    Nope, I'm not coming out... I'm having a quiet day so decided to post this morning rather than after gin o'clock. My friendly DPD driver, Ross, is due shortly with the replacement Sangamo controller for my water heater so that's a wee job for this afternoon. Other stuff... I like boats of all...

    Day 4 Thread 4 - scared stiff as an apprentice

    Haha! Normally I would sweat just reading those posts! I'm not that steady on my feet when I'm standing on the ground, so ladders are hateful for me... but now I am so old, and have recently finalised my last Will and Testament, I don't bother too much! However, doing as much as I can at ground...

    #4 of my 5 a week...and not a rant this time!

    Back to the Men's Shed today to complete the installation of the 4 LED battens in the attic. These were a joy to fit, having screwed the units to the supports yesterday and run the cables. I pre-wired them, leaving decent Tails, because their location is tricky and overhead, so wiring them at...

    Littlespark A Thread A Day (3) “My Turn For A Rant”

    Unless the really cool new colourded, braided flexes you can get for a "cool" or "period " look...but if they are bare in places then they won't be those new ones!

    Just another Pirate rant...#3 of this week's 5, but probably #5 of this series...

    Whatever... I awoke this morning ready for an intersting and relaxed day at work at my local branch of the Men's Shed charity. " jobs pending here...installtion of 4 infrared ceiling mounted heater panels, and also 4 large LED batten lamps in the attic. Had to start with the LED battens cos the...

    Pirate's Rant #3 1 of my 5 a week

    Nope Dan, it's simple mixer shower but needs a pump as the water pressure is so low. I can't get to the pipework as it's buried under the tiled floor. The other shower I put a Salamander pump on and it does the bath as well. Ok there cos I could visually inspect the pipework. Get them back to...
