What sort of Taj Mahal are you living in?
What's next? The toaster switching on jaccussi on the sun-deck.
When I was your age I shared a wet paper bag in hole in the road but i never complained about it!

I lived in couple of ware-house conversions.
Which generally consisted of finding a big empty ware-house, turning on the water main, jacking the electricity and finding a big room (preferably with thick iron door) and fitting it with a big solid pad-lock.

Just driving home from doing the shopping and got a phone call from the Step son asking how to turn on the pilot light on his wall heater. It's the same as mine (new house, he's been there about a month)
So, I know Gav is not mechanically inclined at all. He can pull apart a PC and replace cards and stuff but ask him to hang a picture on a wall and he's lost. So I started with the basics.
First, I said, check near the sides of the heater, there should be an electrical cable coming out that goes to a switch. That needs to be turned on because that's what powers the fan and provides the spark to light the pilot light. Without that, heater she no work.
Silence, some scuffling, then "Oh, is that what that does? I turned that off last week cos I didn't know what it was for".

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Reminds me of the story I read about an intensive care unit in England and how they were stumped that people kept dying on a Sunday. They couldn't figure out why. Did all sorts of tests but nothing made sense, people still died on other days but far and away Sunday was the worst. People were starting to say the ward was haunted.3.14159 wrote:Your son working in a coma ward could be problematic.
So after trying everything they set up surveillance on the ward to try to figure out if anything was going on. CCTV.
Sure as, someone else died on the ward so they get together to view the CCTV footage on the Sunday in the hours before this one old lady died.
All seems to be normal until young Billy, the weekend cleaner comes in, unplugs the ladies life support to plug in his vacuum and happily cleans the floor while she croaks. When he's finished he just plugs it in and wanders over to another one and does the same:P
