THE BRITISH THREAD II

Or electricians...

Bon soir, F!

Do you know your fuses?

x

Bonsoir, S!

On the literal meaning, yes.

Well...

How come some things are working - and some aren't?

I have 'flicked' the main switch (the red one) and nothings happened!

Yes. England has a women's international cricket team. I watched them once. They could bowl all day at James Anderson and never get him out. All year probably. They threw the ball in in relays.

I saw the ladies football as well. They got a free kick just outside the box and they spent four minutes lining it up. Gives the legs a rest you know and they can do the lining up just as good as men. Eventually a soft lob in to the goalie's arms resulted. It was nearly as funny as when Princess Anne went jodhpured arse over tip into the drink.

Ludovici said the ladies shouldn't jump about so much. He claimed it disturbed the delicate mechanisms too much. They are better off when they have Manet's Olympia for a role model.

A troll wine cruet is one that is passed around until it's empty. It becomes a troll wine cruet again when it's refilled and passed around again.

Ahhhhhh!

Cheers.

You're not as thick as that lot on there. At least you know you're thick. That lot doesn't even know that yet and some of them are getting on in years.

The main circuit breaker usually applies power to secondary circuit breakers or to fuses.

One of these must be controlling the cooker. You have to check if all secondary circuit breakers are on, or if all fuses are ok.

One can do that by permutating the ones of same current (amperes) till you find which one doesn't make your cooker work..

Good luck.

The only one that's off is the one with a picture of a shower (which is new, but not connected yet). Doesn't make any difference to anything if it's off or on!

I'll phone them first thing, guess I'll just have to do without my freshly baked brioche in the morning.

Cheers for the 'big-up'!

If I had a troll wine cruet about my person, I wouldn't pass it to you!

I wouldnt be too hard on the pretty electrician. She probably got her wires mixed up with her nail polish colour. Easily done.

On the other hand, never send a man to do a pretty girl's job....


And, what is The Sixth Sense? Is is a Bruce Willis film and should I be bovvered?

I find that difficult to accept Smorgsi!

Do you mean it was a man in drag, a transvestite for example. I've met a couple of transvestite wagon drivers over the years!

Oh! hang on a bit, I met a lady motor vehicle technician a few years back
and she could do the job, I watched her take a front suspension off a Jaguar and she was doing all the requirements to drop the engine and gearbox down onto the deck.

She looked right sexy too with the oil on her hands and face, not forgetting the cute waist and the nice cleavage!

Sorry, you might be right.. The mind boggles.

She would have been taking the suspension off her blubber if I had been there. I would have dropped the gearbox and the engine.

Was there one of those trolleys you can lie low on with wheels so you can race around on it, or you can until you plough into a wall.

A greased monkey and all Mathos has to report is that he watched.

Sheesh.

For a celibate, you sure can spout !


You'd probably be as much use with a woman as you wouldn't be with a Jaguar Engine and Gearbox as well.

And in other news,

80,000 Fans will watch Aust V the Argies tonight at the MCG in a football (soccer) friendly. Only problem is - we don't play friendlies, we play to win!!!

Listen dadpad-

I'm sorry that it falls upon me to acquaint with the news but you are out of your depth mate. Whether it is the climate or the foundational genetic groundbase or some other factor I don't know.

Germaine Greer didn't blow for no reason.

Why don't you start an Aussie thread. English Roses are not Sheilas. Or kangaroos. Style is more up an English Rose's street.

Up yours you whingin, pasty faced pommy poof.
