Testing the Pikey speed record
I have an old computer (HHD removed) and a ****ed electric heater to get rid
of. If I leave these outside my house when will they be gone? My CCTV says that it is 21:28 and that I have just put them outside in clear view of a passing pikey on Cam 2. Gentleman. Place your bets. -- Adam |

I only saw this at 21:36 so they'll be gone already! ;-) -- Scott Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket? |

He probably knew that PAT testing consists of running your hand down the flex to check for damage and then plugging the appliance in to a socket to see if it works:-) -- Adam |

It comes out okay in mine, but I don't immediately think that aitch aitch dee means hard disk drive. Brian might not know that aitch dee dee is an abbreviation for Hard Disk Drive. He will notice you called him Brain though :-) Owain |

Start it up (noting carefully the popup that tells you how to stop it later!). Blindfold yourself and have a try. I've done it - I have a new student who has been blind from birth.
