    Every 5 Years

    Please guys can someone inform me bout these C+G 5 yearly resits. The only place I have heard mention of it is on the forums, and then only hints and rumours. Can someone point me in the direction of where this all originated from. Is it another wonderful government-inspired idea? Cheers, TS

    Women and Comedy - Don't mix.

    Sticking my head above the parapet on this one, but why is it that most women are missing the comedy gene? I'm the first to admit that some women are very funny, Victoria Wood, Dawn French etc. But on the whole, most women seem to lack something when it comes to being funny. Or am I wrong...

    Electric Anoraks

    Purely for my own (sad) interest.... What is the oldest copy of the regs anyone owns? Mine is a real new one comparatively, 16th edition green cover. Does anyone have a copy of the 1882 "Rules and regulations for the prevention of fire risks arising from electric lighting." ? It must be worth...

    PIR - Main Fuse Characteristics

    To all you of greater knowledge, please clarify. On a PIR cert, when filling in main fuse details, do I assume the label on the fuse holder( if there is a label) is correct? Or, for example, could a 1361 have been put in a 88 holder? Will a 100A fuse fit in a 60A holder? All the carriers look...

    ARTIC CONDITIONS

    Hi All, just a quickie. What are the heat-dissipating abilities of Artic Flex? Because it can withstand very low temperatures, I assume the sheath/ insulation contains some thermally insulating chemical. But surely, if it don't let cold in, it don't let heat out. All very well when jack frost is...
