Just wondering is it just me or a general problem I encounter. First, I cannot comment on the DIY forum as I have insufficient priveleges. I have raised this a few times with forum admin but nothing has come of it. Secondly today I tried clicking on a thread to the plumbers forum and was told...
Power went out three times. Once in Master bedroom and twice in the living room. Breaker not tripping and the reset on the outlet will not fix it. It's a total of 4 outlets
Good afternoon all, I was a victim of theft on Friday night. My van was destroyed and I lost some gear.

My question...

I have come to the point that I no longer even waste my time quoting when I hear Certain accents who call me. No disrespect to any accent but I have concluded that I have wasted far too much of my time over the years not having the majority of my quotes accepted or wanting discount to the point...
After reading a rather lengthy thread over the weekend.. Someone mentioned Snoop Dawg.... but I thought of this;
So this is an example of a spoonerism... where two of the letters of a word or name are swapped over.
Or is that a snooperism??
Anyway. It made me chuckle and got me thinking...
So I had this question in mock exam, got mine tomorrow, the real one.
The external influence code ACM requires IP rated equipment to
