Carefully "fiddling" your way around the seam of the remote you'll

which direction to ease them with a fine bladed tool to split the case.

Once you have the remote in half(s) the conductive "rubber" key-pad can

the PCB.
Give them all a wipe with your preferred cleaning solvent (Think I used
nail varnish remover last time) and clean the contact side of the rubber
buttons while you're at it.

Reassemble and your remote is good as new once more.

With some of'em, with solvent, you'll totally screw the carbon tracks/pads,

1 - Always turning back around once you've left the car and pinging the
remote to see the indicators flash (for those of us without auto folding
mirrors)

2 - having to re-arrange the dishwasher every day because "they" have
put randomly intermingled cutlery in the cutlery drawer or put a small
plate between 2 big plates etc.

3 - re-hanging all the washing on the airer with nylons on the bottom
rungs and cottons on the top rungs... grouping socks together in pairs
and oh so many other things I'd be listing them all night.

You've got a spycam in my house, haven't you? :-)

Mine too!

Also I had forgotten the dishwasher. I have devised the best arrangement
for our range of crockery and cutlery based on 25 years experience in a
factory production environment. ( I always envied the time and motion
people).

Loading/unloading the dishwasher is my one voluntary routine job around
the house. My theory about the *random stackers* or visiting family is
that they are never there to do the unloading and thus don't suffer the
consequences of their actions. There is also the elder daughter who has
to use the deep sided cereal bowl she used as a child which does not fit
anywhere sensible....

I had one which was too worn for that. It was actually a
dictionary/encyclopaedia which my dad used and was used to.

So I painstakingly glued slivers of conductive plastic from a black
electronic components anti-static bag onto each pad using a microscopic
smear of RTV silicone.

It worked perfectly. I proudly returned it to the old ******* to find
he'd just bought a new one.

The first and last ones are important I think. The remote controls tend to
suffer from debris from the rubber mat getting in the hole where the contact
is made and stopping it from working. It can be cleaned out but this
normally requires you to open up the remote, remove the mat and use ipa to
clean off gunge and flakes that are in the holes where the contacts are.
six months on and its got to be done again.
With water taps its lime scale build up under the top and as many people do
not turn off the tap firmly soon you need a good clean up or a lot more
strength to clean out the lime scale.
If you do not do the check it tends to start to drip in the middle of the
night and with us all on meters that can be expensive.

After locking the car with the remote, walk round and give each door 3 or

Use a Krooklock on our car despite it having an immobiliser and deadlocks?

Give the taps an extra turn to the off position every time we go near the
sink.

You just reminded me of an incident that happened when i worked in the
licensed trade.
When wine on draught first was first installed the customers were
given a free spray bottle of IPA that was intended to be sprayed over
the wine box and pipe connector to sterilise it .
One landord decided to spray a good quantity over his draught soft
drinks dispenser but unfortunately what ever type of plastic the
mechanism was made of reacted and shrank and cracked , this resulted
in several gallons of Cola and Lemonade leaking from the mechanism,
unfortunatly he had done is spray job just before going to bed so
didn't discover the leaks till morning.

That and the solvent uPVC cleaner that Wickes sell. Not sure what it is,
but it sure removes grease. And the gooey layer on items suffering from

Not if I always came home in the evening, left the lights on to get

With the wrecks you drive, sure. Makes no sense in a non wreck tho.

Why would that make the bleeper more or less annoying?

No one said it did.

First thing I'd do is remove the beeper.

More fool you. Its handy to avoid not closing it properly
accidentally.

I'd fix the magnet.

The magnet isnt broken.

If it's working, it would close easily.

But not automatically.

I'm as forgetful as they come, but leaving your fridge door open
has
to
be
about as stupid as driving along with your car door open.

Doesn't have to be left wide open so that is noticeable.

That implies you tried to close it and failed.

Nope, just that you didn't close it properly.

Best see a doctor about your lack of dexterity.

No doctor can do anything about a lack of dexterity.

You can get creams or something.

None that do a damned thing about dexterity.

Don't they do creams for arthritis?

Nothing to do with dexterity.

People with arthritis are not dexterous. Or dextrose.

So like I said, you need a better magnet.

Wrong, as always.

You do understand magnetism?

And I understand how fridge doors work too.

By magnetism.

There is more involved than just magnetism.

No.

Yep, there is also how the hinge system works.

WD40 it then.

Cars that do that when lights are on annoy me to.

More fool you.

I might want to leave the lights on, for example for me to see
the
gate
or
garage door I'm opening.

Even you should be able to ignore the beeping when that
happens.

No, I cannot ignore noises.

Corse you can. If someone said they would shoot you
if you didn't ignore the beeps, you'd ignore the beeps.

But they'd still annoy me.

So infrequently that only a fool would disconnect the beeper.

Not if I always came home in the evening, left the lights on to get
out
and open the garage door, then got back in to drive the car in.

With the wrecks you drive, sure. Makes no sense in a non wreck tho.

Why would that make the bleeper more or less annoying?

No one said it did.

Then what was your point?

What was yours ?

That a beep every dark evening would **** me off.

And only a fool would cut the beeper in other than a wreck.

Anyone sensible would cut it when they don't need it. And usually it's a plug in thing in the fuse and relay box, so you're not damaging the car.

tho.

Why would that make the bleeper more or less annoying?

No one said it did.

Then what was your point?

What was yours ?

That a beep every dark evening would **** me off.

And only a fool would cut the beeper in other than a wreck.

Anyone sensible would cut it when they don't need it.

But it isnt the only time it needs to beep.

Yes it is.

Wrong, as always.

Why else would your car beep?

Whenever anything has gone wrong.

Different beepers. Different noise.

Not anymore.

And usually it's a plug in thing in the fuse and relay box, so you're
not damaging the car.

But it can't beep when it needs to if you remove it.

I don't want it to beep.

More fool you.

I know when my lights are on because they're lighting up the ground in
front of the ****ing car!

Not when you have turned them on when it was dark,
had the sun come up while using the car, and then
stop using the car rather later.

I'd switch them off when it began to get light, while I was still driving.

Plenty don't, hence the reminder.

The most sensible cars just change to sidelights when the ignition is off.

Mine in fact turns both off when the ignition is off and if you want the
sidelights to be on when the ignition is off, you have to turn them on
again once the ignition is off. When you are stuck with ancient wrecks
you get to wear what they used to do then.

Use a Krooklock on our car despite it having an immobiliser and
deadlocks?

I keep a Krooklock in the car. I leave it as an exercise for the
reader as to what it's for.

"The Club" is the US version of Krooklock, but still the same device.
Once in Baltimore, Maryland, I was stopped at a traffic light, and
parked at the side of a road was a rusty old car, so rusty that I could
see what was in the boot by looking through the rear wing. But it had a
Club to prevent vehicle theft.

2 - having to re-arrange the dishwasher every day because "they" have
put randomly intermingled cutlery in the cutlery drawer or put a small
plate between 2 big plates etc.


Whenever I'm trying to find space to stow something in the dishwasher,
the thought, "My missus would be *so* in the wrong job if she were ever
to be employed as a Load Master on a cargo ship." keeps popping into my
head. It's uncanny, it happens almost every time.
