I think the point has been made earlier in this thread, but we don't know yet who planted these bombs. Just because two previously unheard of groups with AQ in their name have claimed responsibility, it doesn't mean they did. I could phone up, say I was Al-Qaeda and claim responsibility if I...

Its when they recommend that she has therapy that you know they're really trying to stiff you.......

If you look inside the switch for the bathroom light, does it have two red wires ? If so, try the following: The three cables that have red and black - Connect all of the blacks to the N terminal in your new light. Connect all of the reds together in a terminal block, either as part of...

I remember being a teenager in the early '80s, when we seemed to be living with the constant threat of nuclear war. When the Falkland's war was declared, a lot of people were frightened that this was the beginning of the end, and we saw a 'real' war with 'real' people fighting. Nowadays war...

Terrible things going on down there. Can only be glad that there aren't really dirty bombs, chemical weapons, or anything more serious......

Assuming this is an Islamic Terrorist thing, designed to play out on the world stage (unlike the old IRA days when stuff like this was for UK consumption), then London's probably as far as it will get. The average American being told that a bomb has gone off in Birmingham may as well be told...

Gawd !!

My opinion, FWIW..... Firstly, Londoners, in general, stayed away from the Millenium Dome even though it was on their doorstep, so don't really deserve the olympics. Secondly, 2012 is only 7 years away, and going by the Dome or Wembley or the Scottish Parliament, there would be a huge...

Royal Bank of Scotland recently posted me a letter, 2nd class, to say that they were going to be charging me £30 a day for being £1.51 over my overdraft limit. Imagine my joy when it arrived when it arrived 8 days later..... And then found out you can only phone your branch during banking...

I suppose it must be confusing for a new contributor to come on, ask a fairly benign question, and then sit back and watch a large argument on, oh, lets say Part P unfold before their eyes...... Then again, there seems to be a new breed of new contributor that comes on and then gets shirty if...

Sigh.......Reminds me of my apprenticeship down at Marconi. One Megger tester, one large capacitor, one workbench, one unsuspecting colleague - the fun we had.......

Just thought it might be worth pointing it out again, as Gibbo might've missed it amongst all the other posts.....

Normally they would be independent. Back to Spark123's answer buried back on Page 1, you would normally have a permanent live input feeding the two switches. If you had your permanent live input going to the output of the cooker switch by mistake, then it would act as you describe. Can...

When you say your wife removed the fitting, I guess that she wasn't delving into the connector blocks (or at least hopefully not, if that was when the supply tripped), so I guess that when she has removed the fitting something has just come out of its hole. The loose wire then possibly touched...

Wasn't a very clear picture, but I don't believe so. Just been outbid for my first attempt, which is maybe just as well. If I had told my wife that I had just sold our only cow for some magic beans she would probably have been more impressed......

I've noticed a few people are selling New Iraqi Dinars on eBay - the thinking being that its going to start being traded internationally within the next year or so, and that the value can only go up. Now obviously, if it was that great a bet then why wouldn't the seller hang onto them, but...

To be fair, even with an understanding of circuit theory, someone who spends their day down at 5V could easily get the willies at the idea of experimenting with 240V........

T-*-*-t seems to have gone the other way though. When I was at school it was only very mild, a bit like a buffoon, but now it seems to be thought of as being on the fairly rude list.

All of the items in her feedback are all fake sales to make her look more like a real account, so I am in two minds about this.... 1) Good Story and good for a laugh but.... 2) Puts the spotlight on, and provides the oxygen of publicity to, Jodie Marsh. Which is very very very bad........

True - In fact, now I've reflected a bit, anything's insulting if the person you say it to is insulted by it.
