A bit of bondage!

pop into work and borrow a 50,000V test set

Can I borrow that?

Nothing to do with next door's phone line or this scrap of cat5e. Honestly.

Can I borrow that

Why not we've got two, I'll stuff it in the car next time I'm down that way visiting friends (yes I do have some!! )

Westie,
in common with a household flexible circuit conductor it is also too small to be gripped by the human hand

There must be something wrong with the flex in my house. I can quite easily grip it - tight enough so it cannot be slipped through my fingers.

Presumably I have a different sort of electricity...

I think that answer was to IJWS15 who introduced the concept of a metal pen


I tend not to use metal pens as if they fall out of a top pocket into some of our underground equipment you get to get a big flash & bang and need a new pen (whether the fault is phase to phase or phase to earth)

I take it you've made that mistake once or twice?

Nope just got told about it by one who did!

I'll admit I was taken in for a while, but having read his recent fusing factor thread, I know it's a wind up.

I don't think for one second it's actually the cockburn that wrote the book on amazon.

 

[IJWS15]

What's the point in showing this guy where his theory falls down, he just changes his position.

As far as HIS definitions go a conductor is a conductor wherever or whatever it is. . . . . Unless, like my example of a metallic pen clip, he says it isn't.

They say never argue with fools so I won't - they drag you down to their own level.

Dear Sir who's name I have forgotten,
A pen in this case is a conductor that is true but it is not fixed or otherwise immovable, in common with a household flexible circuit conductor it is also too small to be gripped by the human hand (it can simply be pulled through or out of the fingers) therefore it is not reasonable forseeable that it will present any added danger if it were somehow to become hazardous live. Unlike a radiator, metal sink, bath or any other piece of isolated copper pipework.

So now YOU are adding qualifications to the documents you are quoting, are YOU qualified to do that?

Oh Dear???

David I want you to have my babies, please say YES.

lmao

 

[Buzx1313]

was it you dave who chose the new phase colours ... whoops line colours???

i think it might have been,,,

Well, he is a bit of a tart.

What about a door handle or a coat hook?
