Did you know it's Energy Saving Day?
I didn't but I noticed a piece on the BBC website and followed the link HERE (http://www.e-day.org.uk/index.thtml). The idea being to turn off electrical equipment that you're not using.
Currently consumption is about 1% UP on average.
Somehow that makes me pleased.
-
That'll be everyone logging on to find out about energy saving I 'spect.
-
Wonder if thats what the electrician is trying to help with. If he cuts the power to my office one more bleedin time today I wont be held responsiblle for my actions cussing:

I have done my bit by retiring to my local to drink hand-drawn Young's for the day :-)
Mrs TMR is trying to beat me at darts. Bless.

It's grand life for some. ;)

Ask anyone who you think might be him.
To identify the right one silly.

So, I just walk up to random men and say excuse can I look at your ****! eeek:
I'll call you when I need bailing out of the nuthouse/police cell.

That's the idea ..... makes for a hell of a wedding reception. lol:
Though I think "may I" might be more grammatically correct.
-
How about I just have a rumange and yank it out myself to inspect it?

Rummage away .... you'll make lots of new friends ..... though not of the female gender.

Some years ago at a wedding where I knew very few people I approached a lady in a rather fine hat and said that my wife would like to know where she got it from. This proved a good conversation opener. I used the same line with about 10 other women in the course of the next couple of hours.
The whole thing fell apart when I saw all these women talking together and all turning to give me an evil glare scared2:
-
TBH I have been able to avoid weddings in the most part. Those I have attended (Own x2, Son x1 as I missed the second one and Daughter x2) have cost me mucho dosh. Why can't people just elope and make everyone happy?

Agreed! Banghead

I was asked by my mean sister if I would "give her away" at her second wedding. This was absurd as she was 62 at the time, but I agreed.
Present, new suit, overnight in a hotel etc. Pricey.
She sent me a copy of one of the wedding photos - and a bill for £7.50! eeek:

Because some people say they would be upset if you did that!

Going back to energy saving day for a moment. Could this be the reason British Gas have sent me two lots of energy saving bulbs through the post over the last two days. No explanation, not sent for them, they just turned up.
rubschin:
-
You have gas lighting? rubschin:
-
You must have filled out a questionnaire or something. I did years ago and get regular deliveries of energy saving bulbs biannually. See a previous thread that I cannot be arsed to look for now.

No dear boy, one buys ones electrons from British Gas.

One is fecked off with chopping and changing suppliers. Also, the last organisation used did not barrage one with free light bulbs.

British Gas supply my electricity as well. Not my gas though. They maintain my boiler and gas fire as well. Haven't had a problem with them for some time now.
