    Gas Explosion in Southampton.

    Why does everyone assume faulty installation? It's more probable IMO that this 91 year old woman left the gas on after boiling the pan of milk for her late night Horlicks then came down in the morning turned on the Kitchen light and ... Kabooom! It's only a matter of time before this...

    Prince Harry

    If he's a bullet magnet ... Absolutely ... Best place to be :lol: If he had anything about him now he would be true to his previous position and resign his commission. A soldier who can't be placed in danger is as much use as a plumber who can't go near naked flames :wink:

    Mobiles in hospitals

    The standard national contract with Patientline did not preclude the use of mobiles and most hospitals adopted this ... A few daft ones didn't though :lol: Many hospitals now allow mobile phones in most areas and only generally prohibit their use in critical care areas (ICU/HDU) and on...

    Non-Corgi Install

    What a load of old cobblers. Whilst I'm not advocating non-Corgi gas work in any way, to say that you will have difficulty selling your house if you've had a new boiler fitted and Corgi haven't been notified or B-C or you don't have a benchmark certificate or PartP certificate for your new...

    Sky pin number

    Hard disk drives last longer when left spinning than when being started/stopped ... This is why it's best to leave a computer powered up and simply turn off the monitor ... Likewise, leave Sky+ to its own devices.

    Puns

    A fella comes home from work and his girlfriend's sat on the stairs with her suitcases packed. He says "What's the matter?" She says "I'm leaving you cos you're a paedophile" He says "That's a big word for an 8 year old" :wink:

    JESUS TOMB AND FAMILY FOUND DNA PROVES IT.

    They took samples from the artefacts, exposed them to nucleonic particles in a vacuum to release stored atoms which they then sent off for gas analysis by an expert to establish age. They have rubbished the findings of the so-called gas expert though as he wasn't registered with Corgi :wink:

    plumber - poor job

    The OP said that the plumber had melted the Main electric cable? If he means the incoming tails it will be more than a 50p piece of cable and far more costly to remedy.
