Have a busy day tomorrow so had to treat myself a day early, but what a game changer this is, I also have a multi tool for cutting but for house bashing this is the mutts nutts. I used it today to cut an access hole in chipboard flooring and set it to 19mm! Very impressed...
Hi all,
After a stint in the armed forces followed by a much longer stint in the transport industry I'm now verging on 44yrs and am considering making a leap of faith in learning to become an electrician. I have booked a one week course in May to do a workshop in domestic (taster really) before...
Hi
A quick hello from me, I've been working part time with a domestic electrician to get experience over the last couple of years and finally finished my city & guilds 2365 L2 and L3 & 17th edition in my very limited spare time! 2 kids make it tough to find a minute to get out the books!
I've...
Hi all. New to the forum.
I completed my apprenticeship back in 2000 and then left the industry in 2001. I've been to Northumbria Uni for Building Services (BEng) and then worked in my family business as a scaffolder for 15 years.
Since my father passed away last year I've lost the love of...
So I was doing some fault finding today - and the customer said that they had had some recent work done - so I asked to see any paperwork that had been left..... they produced an EIC... this is what the scope of works was:
So anyone like to guess what they've had done?
and no there wasn't...
Hi guys, I've been an electrician for the best part of 20 years now. Some big jobs, some small jobs. I'm out on my own now for the past 1 year and 8 months and really enjoying it. Its great being your own boss, half day every day an all. My only problem is deciding which half of the day to take...
Hi everyone,
I've recently returned to sparking after a 7 year hiatus (uni and some other stuff), and I'm looking for some advice on how to best get back up to speed. I got my C&G Electrical Installation Theory & Practice certs in 2003 and completed my apprenticeship in 2004, and haven'd done...
So after yet again after more time out of full time employment, I am back working full time to gain my NVQ and AM2.

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody knows of some good revision aids (online perhaps) that will help me with my upcoming 17th edition. I qualified whilst the 16th was in but after 4 years out of the trade (doing a degree) I am booked in to do the 17th next month and would like to get a bit of a jump...
Hi there everyone, hope all is well.

I am playing my 1st game of Golf ever tomorrow at 11.15, can't wait but I can see it quickly becoming a comedy sketch.
It is a 4 ball, 1 regular player who's good, one average who thinks he is happy gilmore, 1 left hooker who as never played and only it a bucket of balls...
I think it's safe to say that the game is absolutley finished and will never get any better. Low pay compared to other trades , firms expecting blood from you , these young kids becoming engineers without enough on site experience who only know how to read of a drawing, health and Saftey...

How to play-
Person 1 starts with a word and Person 2 makes another word that starts with the last letter of the first word
