[ElectriciansForums.net] Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)
 
4 Husbands
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered.
"Interesting," the newsman thought.
He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.
(Wait for it)
She smiled and explained,
"I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

I will get my hat.
 
There is another thread about replacing a so-called euro plug, to which I can't contribute as I don't have access to the DIY forum.
However, keeping things light...I love those 2 pin beauties! Yes, you can get rewireable ones, but of course they normally come moulded-on. Also, as previously pointed out, they come with different pin spacings, but it can be fun trying to get a match. However, my favourite thing is that they are "plugs"! Not "plug-tops" as they don't have a top...or a bottom. Thus, no need for endless arguments as to terminology.
 
our plugs have both tops and bottoms. the bottoms contain all the techy bits like pins, flex.terminals and a fuse. the tops are just there to hold the bottoms together and to stop you getting fried when you insert them into a socket.
 
FYI, those items to which you refer Tel are called "plugs"...ie all the "bits"...in the 5th edition COP for ISITEE.
(Probably to avoid confusing numpties like me!)

And the chap from Switzerland was nervous about how to change the plug, so nervous he took the earth pin out because the item did not need an earth, so he modified the plug and left a hole in the face of it.
 
Even in Italy you get two different conventions for sockets in use. The better hotels have both available so when you inevitably find you had the wrong adaptor with you, at least you have a 2nd go!
 
The plasterer told me a joke the other day.

He began the joke and then went quiet whilst I waited for the rest of it.

2 ladies sitting quietly together in a hairdressers, minding their own business...........
