...Also,it's like the monkey and jar thing...I can't grab and pull the bulb from it's housing as my fingers get stuck in the void where the bulb lives...Now...if I could only...tilt the..ceiling...Ah! Right...better leave it.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Oh and just to warn you I am thinking of changing my forum name, so don't get all flirty if some new girl joins the shed, it's only me!
 
Didn't you present the weather forecast a few years back??Big smile

ha! I'm pleased its not just me!  Mine are all embedded in a high ceiling, for which I have to stand on a step ladder, with a paint stripper, to prize the sealant away first, before pulling the mechanism out to work on it.  when I do, a combination of builders rubble and dead wasps from the loft fall on my head, while I try to prize the bulbs out of their holders...Ouch
Can I suggest rubber gloves? They grip the glass better than flesh.
What?

I'm so glad I still use candles....

Distracted completely from the course material I was creating today.... Got a request to do repeated courses on systems architecture in Bangalore today. Customer expects that, if I take the job, I could spend 3-15 days per month in India next year, just teaching that course. Confused

Up side of it: I could have (prog) curry any time of the day there  - and I know a prog band from Bangalore, who I included in PA myself last year....

I'll be discussing the details of the request next week. If I fall for it, I'm going to be offline quite often next year - and if it's not as succesful as the customer thinks, I'll still be able to go there 3 times for a week or so.

Don't worry Angelo, Bangalore sounds great fun! What an amazing opportunity, I'm sure you'll have broadband ok at the hotel.  And just think of all the amazing things you cna learn from an experience designed to teach others!  Tongue

We want to hear all about it when you're there!

At the moment it would be " windy snot machine" Big smile He has "man flu" hence being absent from the shed in case he spreads germsLOL


Ah, true love eh? 20 years together & the sum total of my sympathy entitlement amounts to 'windy snot-machine'

Thanks Jared -

By the way, the yellowy brown liquid is a secret magic potion which enables anyone who takes it to spell the word 'putrid'

'The Godfather'? I like that I drink real ale, then make people offers they don't understand

Mind you, what does that make Steve? The GR was his idea originally, so maybe that makes him The Shed's Capo di tutti capi

After 26 years marriage I can safely say the secret is to never go to bed angry.
