I preferred Reg Prescott's DIY slots.

Reg Prescott still has me in tears of laughter, even now!

Ditto !!  ;D ;D ;D

I believe I'm correct in saying that a certain member of the forum, whose name begins with an N and ends with a Y, had the cheek to say that my own attempts at DIY must be very similar to Reg Prescott's.

Cheers - Phil (I feel even more zombified than I did yesterday.  (:|)

I am sure you are most proficient at DIY, even if all your DIY is covered with your own blood  :)

No, Mark.....Von uses the sharp stuff. ;)

I'm not even allowed to look at the chop saw.

I DO the electrics.

I can only remember two 'belts'.....Once when I made a 'strobe'....and the second was when I stuck my fingers down one of the photography studio's flash heads at GW. (I know I've mentioned this before.)

That hurt.....I forgot about capacitors holding a charge, and those things were fed by a couple of battery units that sounded like defibrillators when they were charging. ..."CLEAR !"

Cheers Reg/Barry.

Today is the first day our son has been able to 'safely' go out of the house after 4 months of lockdown. He was very happy and I must admit it was weird driving into town (we would normally go by bus as he gets fee travel, but still not feeling safe with this yet) just to go shopping for non-essential items. Town was very quiet, the little we saw of it, which again is weird as it would normally be heaving on a Saturday.

Well that's good news, Steve ! :)

Have all the folk in the vicinity bogged off to the coast ?

Don't blame you for still not 'feeling safe.'.....We now appear to have a lot of 'invaders/grockles' in Pembrokeshire.
I do feel very conflicted....In the respect that I don't want folks who rely on the 'tourist industry' to suffer anymore....and for the folk who desperately need a 'break', NOT to have their hols.
But it worries me that folk from cities could be bringing COVID here.

The holiday makers (a lot of them) don't appear to think social distancing applies to them. (Oiks)

I don't think I'll feel properly 'safe' for a LONG time.

Cheers - Phil

True, Ian :)....But (as far as I know) no-one has got within 100 yards of any of our beasties....with the possible exception of the 'postie' in the past seven months.

The lads from Western Power didn't even get close to any of them when they changed the transformer, two (very early) mornings ago. The 'labs were told' in no uncertain terms......."You are NOT going out to help.....Now, SIT & STAY !

Two of them are birthday boys today !! :)...Bless'em.

Cheers - Phil. ;)

No.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Gave myself a hell of a belt as I moved a light on Thursday.

I also now have no kitchen, purely coincidentally, honest...

A friend and family are off to the Sciliy Isles for their annual holiday. Apparently 50% of the islanders want tourists for income, the other 50% don't. They're unsure of their welcome!

I don't think anyone does, Davy....apart from the fact his name is Barry and he talks very loudly.

You do know how to isolate different circuits, don't you, Will ?
