A Jap would have at least had the decency to disembowel itself. You might have the decency to **** off to an Ozzie group. Last time I drilled through a cable it blew the company fuse. Couldn't believe it when they came within the hour and didn't charge In the mid '90s I worked at a company making large industrial compressors. The "specialist" electrician that had been brought into the factory test area managed to turn power onto a unit that was still being worked on and which had the motor connections earthed when he shouldn't. Bearing in mind that people were working on the unit and that the motor was a 2.5MW, 11kV, 3-ph unit, the resulting bang took out the local breaker, the distribution room breaker, the electicity board's breaker in the distribution room, the factory sub-station and the one feeding that - taking out most of the surrounding area for 3 hours! |

I could have a very good guess on that one. :-) At least the PO the store room and the new apartment where I was working were all owned by the same person. Only an apprentice can manage to core dill for a bathroom extractor fan into nextdoors house. Nice one Adam - but you really shouldn't try to excuse your error. And for tonights cock up. Just called the gf and asked if I should call down to see her. She said her s-i-l was there and I replied "Just give me a call when the fat **** has ****ed off" The gf was using handsfree on her phone.......... In my early working days, we gained a new departmental manager. He and the departmental secretary did not have a good relationship. It turned out that a few years earlier, in a different department, he'd phoned one of his workmates and asked "Who's the fat, ugly bitch sitting next to you?" - also on speakerphone. To make it worse, she really was fat, ugly and a complete bitch! |
