    Another hint to keep my trap shut.

    Even if it doesn’t kill them, it will ampere their progress.

    The salesperson tried selling me a sofa by claiming it could seat 5 people without any problems. Nice try. I don’t know 5 people without any problems.

    Just mind you don’t get your nose trapped.

    Weirdly, I think ladders may be covered by PUWER rather than LOLER, although they still require a schedule of inspection / daily pre-use checks etc.

    It very much depends on the equipment, and the type of repair. Generally, the repair would need to be of a type approved by the manufacturer, and may need to be subjected to a thorough examination by a competent person before being returned to service. For ‘unconventional’ repairs, the competent person is possibly going to be the manufacturer.

    Certainly not! I’d rather keep the mice.

    Not sure I could spare any Mars…. Maybe use a rip-off Aldi one.

    Maybe attach the current with a cable tie.

    It is pretty sizeable. The turbines are generally only used during spikes of daily peak demand. They can go from generating nothing to full output in a matter of seconds. Electricity is transmitted via underground cables at 400kV. During the periods of low demand, all turbines can be ‘used in reverse’ to pump the water back to the top reservoir. It is, in effect, a giant battery, with an additional benefit of being a key part of the national grid’s ‘black start’ strategy.

    Possibly the closest thing in the UK is this: Been there a few times, and the scale is amazing. Took the family once, on the visitor tour thing, which busses you deep right into the workings. Typically, they were singularly unimpressed!

    Definitely try the Nutella or peanut butter, far less faffin’ about with tying stuff on!

    @Ontario Firewood Resource Cheers for that Anthony, it was pretty slick (but then I’ve always been a sucker for a power plant tour)

    Did you ever have a go with Nutella or peanut butter? You can smear it really firmly onto the trap trip, so that the mouse has to put some hard work in to get it off.

    I generally rely on a pair of jet-black terriers to solve our vermin problems, but I could see that would only create additional problems with your current mousers!

    Don’t knock Spam. As a precaution against shortages caused by bird flu, I’ve been considering getting in some practice at ‘carving the bird’ for Christmas.

    During English class the teacher asks Little Johnny "have you ever heard of the word contagious before?" "Of course miss" Johnny replies "my dad actually said it when we were talking yesterday". "Can you repeat it for the class and tell us how he used it in a sentence?" ‘Yes, miss. We were watching the neighbours tree guy trying to reduce an apple tree using two ropes, and after a while my dad got bored of how slow progress was. “That’s enough”, he eventually says, “let’s do something else, at this rate it’s going to take the contagious .”’

    Aaaahhhh, MySpace. I still get a disproportionate amount of pleasure by singing along loudly to Clean Bandit’s ‘Tick tock’ but substituting each tick tock in the chorus for a MySpace. Kids these days, so easily baffled.

    Difficult to say really without knowing much about your employer’s situation, but as said above, It’s not a bad thing to demonstrate an appropriate level of responsibility for the damage. That being said, if it was a genuine accident that occurred whilst you were trying to get your days stuff done, these things are annoying, but to be expected. Unless your employer is in an absolutely dire financial situation, it seems a touch unreasonable to expect you to replace a very well used looking ladder with a shiny brand new one.

    My, is that a stool I see there?

    Actually, as they’re someone else’s, it may be safer not to say.

    What exactly were you doing with them when they ‘snapped’??!?

    I was at Morrison’s today and a whole rack of Omega 3 supplements collapsed on me. It was more embarrassing than anything, so I scarpered quick with nothing worse than super fish oil injuries.

    That’s a shame, I saw this having been told to find some scented candles. Thought It could also be the perfect present idea.
