if the ohms are relayed back to the first circuit then it should be that current stops the electricity being used

but I don't know if that's the same in 240 volt households running separate ring mains

might be worth checking with an amp meter when you've next got to install a breaker into the main board 

Does anybody know the duty free allowance for Jordans?

Trick is, put all the legit Jordans in the back where customs can see them easy, then shove any more Jordans under the front seats.

yep, been giving blood for about 30 years I guess

It can be a little bit uncomfortable sometimes, you can feel a little prick as they say, but on the grand scale of things it's nothing compared with a proper scratch from thorns or brushing nettles. It's minor, but your mind can spin it into a big deal. I stopped for a few years because I'd sort of started thinking about it too much. You just have to relax into it. Certainly as soon as you are done it's completely fine other than you walk an inch taller because you might have just saved someone's life.

Give it a go. There might be biscuits.

As for organ donation, that's another easy way of doing something really good. But tell your family it's what you want. Regardless of whether you've signed up, if the family hesitate it can prevent good use being made of the bits once you don't need them.

Both me and the missus have an agreement that the hospital can do what they like with the body once we're done. To the point where we'd both be fine with the cadaver being used for students to practise on.

But then, over here we're only a few months away from the rules changing and you have to opt out, not opt in, for organ donation.

It's a really really tricky one. Keeping absolute tabs on your kids.

From personal experience, as a kid, I'd have gone walk about for the whole day knowing I had to return when it was getting dark. In those long 1970's summer holidays 'getting dark' was a bit of a subjective measurement for when I should be home. At that time, I'd have been playing on beaches, on building sites, in amongst a vast yard of rusting steam trains and the docks. Once it was closed for the evening, I'd have been sneaking around the fairground.

But, I guess that was the 1970's and to coin a phrase, it never did me any harm.

Fast forward to my own kids and there is no way on god's good earth I'd have let them out of my sight when they were 7 years old. Which itself is then self defeating, because all of a sudden you have a teenager that hasn't been out in the dark or crossed a busy road on their own. 

Is the world more dangerous now? No, it's undoubtedly safer. But we are more scared and more 'informed' than we were back then.

I think that perhaps if we don't know the detail of the particular circumstances it might be best not to judge yet.

and unfortunately, that last line is a killer

All that money, all that fame, all those back room staff at Man City, all those friends, family and hangers on.

Yet nobody to advise him to just shut up.

See that alot of you boycott Daily Mail, why ?

previously in charge of 'standards' apparently

 

Why some guys like a finger or two up their poo pipe.

Last time I had a rental examination my doctor called ME a pervert...

... Probably because I told him there was room for another two fingers

 

that's why I decided to buy my house

Thai phin guitar music (first exposure to this was via Mr Xann of this very parish).

Loved it, rhythmic music and partial nudity culminating in some incense then some messy paint throwing.

Wrecked my new hat and my suede desert wellies. 

it was definitely the case that the game was going to get played, if they had to stay there until midnight, and yes, the number of overs played was a consideration for refunds

£25 a ticket on the gate - but by the time the game started, 3 hours late, there wasn't much of a crowd left

they cancelled the food, rather than cook it and have nobody turn up, half the bar staff were missing / sent home, they even cancelled the half time dancing girls!

They had one pitch inspection, where the umpire who had to decide whether it was officially raining or not, wouldn't go out onto the field to decide whether it was raining until they got him an umbrella, because it was raining.

using all my experience from On Topic, I can tell you now that kid is worth way more than £12 million and will be ideal alongside Adebayor

 

 

Ive never had Nando's chicken

Never been either, don't get the fuss? Looks very overpriced to me.

I've been twice, the last of which was 5 years, you can replicate the experience at home by burning the **** out of a small chicken and throwing on some tasteless sauce and throwing £20 in the bin.

Complete the experience by inviting 20 chavs into your house whilst you eat.

 

don't forget to queue outside your house for 10 minutes first

and then once you're inside, queue just outside the kitchen for another 10 minutes before proceeding to overcook your chicken

I went in one once, didn't get as far as actually buying any food, the whole experience was horrible - I'm amazed at what shit some people will put up with to eat over priced fast food.

you really haven't got the hang of these philippino physio clinics yet have you

will Glamorgan vs Gloucester actually get going this evening?

I suspected he was a made up blond dutch lego fiddler

but then in one thread he mentioned he had a father.....

I've even been and bought a Che Guevara type hat, a kind of big satchel thing and a tee shirt with Vintage Hi Fi written on it, just so people know exactly what they're dealing with....

I might get flip flops tomorrow.

this...

on this...

sounds much better than I expected!

I'm in the lucky position where on a dull day in the office I can simply pick up my phone and shout into it:

 

"what's that? you need a survey done and you need it now? well that's darned inconvenient ..... ok ok, I'll do it, I'm leaving now"

 

 

ha ha ha, of course, ha ha ha, there's nobody on the other end!

 

I'm home now.

I'm going to ring your office now and say you never showed for our appointment and spark a mass police hunt for you 

 

can you ask them to leave the T20 cricket tickets for this evening in the usual hiding place  - in case I'm found alive

Glamorgan vs Gloucester

with complimentary fish n chips!
