Boooooooo! Will you tell us the answer though??

That connector block at 12 o'clock is bothering me! You normally put all three live wires into a common connector, or there will be a break in the circuit - either the next light in the ring or the switch for this light will have lost its supply. But equally, why does the bare wire seem to pass...

Ah, ok - think i might have it, but it is confused a bit by the angle of the photo and the fact that one of the cables is masked by the metal mount-thingy, so it is actually quite standard (though made complicated by note using a standard ceiling rose arrangement . There are TWO black wires...

An electrical screwdriver is cheaper than a multimeter! Provided the black isn't live you should be ok taking that to the N terminal.

1. Get a short length of twin-core-and-earth cable and prepare the ends. 2. IN GENERAL ... you would run the brown cable from the connector block containing the RED wire to the L terminal on your light fitting. 3. Run the blue cable from the BLACK connector block to the N terminal on your...

Incidentally @shmmeee regarding your earlier post, during the Blair years, i voted LibDem - their policies were far more Socialist (and, it could be argued, left-wing!)

I had to turn off last night, when he started saying in his patronising soft voice "it was me who saw what was happening in China. I saw it coming - ME. So i shut down transport from China". The bloke is a clown, and the likes of Fauci et al are too scared to lose their job to say anything that...

A lot of the issues with the funding of NHS comes down to having the enormous millstone of debt known as PFI, where they are having to pay over the odds for privately- and shoddily-built premises (which was a scheme introduced under Blair). The NHS is still a VERY "flabby" organisation, not...

Quiz was OK last night, but a lot of the acting was pretty "hammy". Michael Sheen brilliant in his characterisation of Tarrant, as he always his in his roles. We then watched the Youtube video of the original episode of "Millionaire". No spoilers but what they did was pretty blatantly audible!!

As heralded previously, the missus has just given me a scissor cut on top and various grades of clipper on back and sides. Not at all bad - first time in ages that i've had mine done by someone other than a Kurdish refugee - well i don't THINK she is ...!

Yeah, she'll look nice like that!

I'm suddenly getting bombarded with spam about various cryptocurrencies, and i have no idea why! Will never invest in them in a million years! But thanks for bumping this thread - read the first 30 posts before noticing the date was over 2 years ago!

Mine grows like a very thick thatch on top, and gets out of hand quite quickly. Normally have a #4 on the back and sides, blended into a scissor cut and thinning shears on top. My missus cut my hair once (about 10 years ago) - neither of us can remember why - and did an alright job, IIRC. Might...

For the record, BBC News says TBT died WITH coronavirus. They are very careful in their wording at the moment. In other words, he may have tested positive, but it's not necessarily the direct cause of his death. It's very sad no matter what.

people who want me to sponsor them to go somewhere exotic to raise money for charity. I had a colleague who went to walk the Great Wall of China in aid of Myton Hospice. NO - FUCK OFF! If you want to do something to raise money for such a worthy cause, don't ask me to pay for it! Cycle to John...

Has Hugh Laurie's wife/girlfriend put in an appearance - she's luuurrvvley! But i enjoyed the programme in many other ways, too!!

It is quite likely that it will become seasonal, like flu, and there will probably be a vaccine for the most prevalent isolate. But don't forget, even with a tri-valent vaccine (tetra-valent in children), flu still kills upwards of 20,000 people a year. In England.

Watched the first 3 (?) series of The Affair (produced by Showtime) via Kodi on Amazon Firestick. Was quite gripping, and Ruth Wilson was at her sexy best. Anyone know if it is available on Netflix or Prime, as the Kodi system seems to have been locked down and i can't get to it anymore. Thanks!

Oh ... isn't it??!

Thanks for the rant, but can i refer you to the last line of my post, which said "I think that is maybe what they were originally suggesting with the herd immunity theory, but it seems now as though more people might be more at risk than they originally thought." Implication being that it...
