Tea? (Part 2)

[phil_hg_uk]

I remember what it was like when I used to fix people's electronic kit (when it was still viable to do it, before stuff got so complicated and specialised). Example - I spent 3 hours finding a strange fault in a hifi amp., went down to the local electronics hobby shop for a spare part, came back and spent 30 minutes fixing the problem. The 'grateful' owner then gave me 10 B&H by way of thanks, and at the time the ciggies cost the same as the part I'd just bought!

I ask for a little more than that colin.

I have been repairing/building/programming computers and related equipment for over 30 years, I started doing it for friends and it just turned into a job as things have a way of doing.

Citrus degreaser did not get the superglue off my Thermos mug! It did get the rest of the mug nice and shiny though ...

Looks like I will have to get hold of some acetone.

The Sports Direct mug with a keep-tea-warm lid works pretty well, but I am going to have to build up my arm muscles if I am going to carry on using it - it weighs about double what the old mug did when full of tea!

That's where I went wrong ... I thought 'Blow that for a game of soldiers!' and went to work as a factory labourer instead!

I have had 6 cups of tea, 2 Mr Kipling Apple Pies & a large glass of lemon squash and I am STILL wrestling with Here Comes the Sun. My fingers hurt
I will wrestle some more tomorrow morning.
How come Thunderstruck (which sounds difficult) is easy and a Beatles track (that sounds easy) is so difficult.

The thing is to do what I do for a living you have to really like doing what you are doing as it can be incredibly stressful and very frustrating, but like I said to someone who once asked me if my job was hard .......... only for the first 20 years while you learn the skills you need

WE SUGGEST THAT ALL INCIDENTS OF EYE EXPOSURE TO CYANOACRYLATE ADHESIVE (SUPER GLUE) BE DISCUSSED WITH A PHYSICIAN.

ColinJ: Doc, doc - you gotta help me - I accidentally glued my eyelids shut with superglue!

Physician: I'm free - can you see me now?

ColinJ: Didn't you hear me - I glued my eyelids shut!

Doesn't some nail varnish remove have acetone in it? Might be a cheap way to get some.

Right, time for bed. Night all!

I have cleaned the bike ,but stunk the house out with the smell of pledge which has made the cat sneeze .

Cleaning your bike with Pledge
it's not a bit of furniture

Have you seen the thread about Farmers not sweeping up after themselves ?

yes , he is right. You can get a device that fits on the hedge trimmer to blow bits off road.

Especially when you get dozy mares that break their laptop screens and you have to talk them through step by step in how to remove said screen.
