What are you doing/done today

[Toneyz]

What are you doing/done today ? not a direct poll but I thought that it would be interesting to see a snapshot of a day in the life of a E.F. member did it go to plan what problems did you overcome.

Pete I note your new avatar or whatever it's called. If your forgive me, it (the avatar) reminds me of a 'mature' electrician, at the company I first worked for.

He wore a bib & brace, collar & tie and a sports jacket. He had several pens in his jacket pocket that would of made Joe 90 envious. He didn't have a pocket watch or voltage tester for that matter, just used his forefinger for that. Wore nice pair of Oxford Brogues, as well.

2nd N bar on a hager is to the left of the earth bar, out of shot in pic. good try though.

what's that white cable next to the main earth? Or has it just rubbed off?

anyway. back on topic. what am i doing today? same as the last 2 weeks with no work on. just sitting here waiting for the dementia to kick in. fending it off for now with some Blackthorn reserve cider and later Theakston's Old peculier.

That park bench is getting closer. I tried it out the other week, shouting and swearing at the passing traffic, with a bottle in my hand. Quite therapeutic.

Plastic db
Could be installation was designed and specified pre amendment 3

Yeah that did cross my mind. The flats were released beginning of year so need to do some searching.

Have you quoted the wrong post Westy? or is that the answer?

The answer, was driving and eating a Greggs sausage rolls at the same time.

So I'm not an Old Electrician I'm a Mature one?

 

[telectrix]

so pete, we're now officially "mature farts", not "old farts". i like it. then again, a mature fart is one the smells like hell and lingers for ages. hmmmm.

them are the ones, but there was a predominant make. can't remember, can you? they were about 2/6d apiece.

You talking about Steadfast tools tel ?

No sure which is worse, an old fart or a mature one?

I had a colleague once, who took delight in passing wind, when he was driving you in a car down a motorway, whilst he locked the electric windows with the master.

It was either, try and open the passenger door at 80mph, or just take deep breaths
