Get an electrician to carry out portable appliance testing, it's almost certain that something on it's own or collectively is causing it.
Is that a PAT test?

If you’re going to denigrate the character of the fine poster known as @Alert Mongoose at least have the stones to @ him.
I, for one, find his content most engaging.

The other person's credit rating is suboptimal
Don't think that matters - the credit card bills are your responsibility. You are essentially the one carrying the risk of them not repaying you.

How fucking dare you confuse the two @alta-pete
I did debate where to drop my nugget and, maybe mistakenly, thought this thread the most appropriate (least inappropriate?) place for it. Sorry if I've sullied the cricket chat..

bumped/paraphrased from Alan Partridge, but stretches of road which alternate from a 40mph limit to a 60mph/70mph limit.
Timing the acceleration and braking to technically stay perfectly road legal but absolutely booting the car from 40mph - 60mph. Exhilerating. edit: The stretch that goes from 50mph - 70mph around the Erskine Bridge. Oh baby.
(this may explain why mine is needing in for a repair imminently tbf)
I do this with red lights so the car doesn't come to a halt. The lights on the Newbridge roundabout I have completely sussed while coming in at an (official) approach speed of 50mph .

Honestly it would be great if the next manager leaves because he's got another job rather than getting punted for being shite
This is the perspective that is sadly too often lacking.

My neighbour thought this was acceptable parking. Left a note on the windshield calling them a selfish c**t
For that sort of pish I’m often tempted to park nose in so my car is perfectly placed but with my passenger door hard against their drivers door forcing them to climb in the passenger side. Kent won’t do it again.

Was left a four figure sum when my old man died, didn't want it and gave it away to a charity (they didn't do much for my family when needed but hoped the donation could help others in the situation).
I've always said, you come in the world with not a thing and so you should leave it.
^^^ this. Is the right answer.
I’m not living my life in the expectation of winning some elder’s hard earned gains. I’ll do it my way for myself.I’ve said to mother a-p many times (who frets over what few assets she has) that there are no pockets in a shroud. It’s a neat trick to pull off - and so far one that I have yet to work out - but if you breathe your last on the day your bank account hits its last £1, you’ve won.
Meantime, to both lighten the mood and pinch the MO of @SlipperyP, here’s what I’ll be having played at my funeral:

I caught the news on the radio earlier and apparently the SPFL think there’s a “scheduling nightmare”.
Can anyone explain why? After the intentional break, there’s 2 free midweeks.
Or is it a case of them being terrified of Sevco having a midweek fixture when Celtic don’t?
Did they mean to do that?

Well played @101 - a disappointing lack of action on this thread (me included) of late. It’ll be my summer mission to contribute meaningfully over the next 6 months or so. You can all thank me later for my selfless sacrifice.

Reducing the number of people who vote for Sunak, Braverman, Badenoch, Patel and these other fucking nutjobs so that they win no seats is fine by me. There's been discussion on other threads about whether we might see the return of moderate Tories into positions of influence within the party. There won't be if people keep voting for these arseholes. In that context, having no Tory MPs in Scotland is fine by me. I can live easily without Fraser, Kerr, Bowie and Ross in some way pretending to represent Scotland.
I think that's the nub of the issue. To want Scotland to be a Tory MP free zone (which Yousaf didn't say) is a perfectly fair political statement; but to want Scotland to be free of Tories (which Yousaf did say), to my sensitive sensibilities, crosses a line.

Genuine question - if the game is cancelled at noon, Sky have lost the match anyway, they won’t broadcast the replay (or will they?) so why not just delay ko until 3/4pm? Everybody else is there and ready to go, even if a few hours late.

Managed to watch some of the egg chasing today.
Is it mandatory for rugby players to have awful haircuts?
Exhibit A
I put it down to the importation of a fashion to try and look like Aussie rules players. And me being less than fashionable myself I just shrugged it off, it’ll pass.
That’s the trouble with fashions - they quickly go out of fashion.

On Calmac ferries, the safety announcement informs that the emergency signal consists of 'seven or more short blasts on the ship's whistle'.
Why 7? Why not, oh I dunno, one? Everyone will be counting through 4, 5 and 6 while the vessel could be keeling over.
Or we could be engulfed in fire but most passengers are pretty sure they only heard 6 blasts on the whistle so continue with whatever they're doing, unworried.
1 and 2 blasts mean I want to pass you on the port/starboard side and 3 means I'm going into reverse. By the time you get to 7 blasts everyone should be thinking ‘oh shit, summats up!!’

Met a bird in the boozer last night, she was wearing wellingtons and a boiler suit and she fucking reeked of elephant shite.
