Is There An Electrician In The House?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

just got a note through the door.

bristol water are re-laying our streets water mains - in plastic.

they say that this may mean that the electrical earthing system to our home will become non-functional, so, don't blame us if you get a belt mr englishman, you have been warned, and it's your problem to fix it!

Mike-- consult a good "how to" book that reflects the practices in the UK. Improper grounding of the neutral condutor can cause many safety issues for the folks in your home. Inadequate grounding can even cause stray current to appear in your neighbors home. Dont do anything unless you understand exactly how to do this job!

If you attempt to do this work your self be aware that current may be circulating in the grounding system and may cause a current to flow across your body if it is placed in series between two "grounded" obljects.

I dont know what your local rates are but I wouldnt think that a good electrical contractor would have over 3 hours tied up in doing a job like yours. It may be worth the cost - remember he is bonded or insured and responsible for any damage an improper job may cause. Not installing a ground (earthing) system correctly can cause a multitude of hazards in your builiding.

Do You Tend To Be Condescending???

by minimus in

jw
friends

at times, some of us tend to think that we are superior.

we may come across as thinking we're a little better than everyone else.

do you seem to have "an all that" attitude?

Mackin-- is Jourles in your corner? He's in the fetal position from the good tunes too.

I guess I should slip a little 'Stones in for you guys. 19th Nervous Breakdown (Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)

You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

When you were a child you were a treated kind
Byt you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please

You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind
And after that you turned your back on treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
But after awhile I realized you were disarranging mine

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please

When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
And you father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

It don't matter who plays in Austin.....Bob Wills is STILL the KING!!!!
SAN ANTONIO ROSE
(Bob Wills)

Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone.
Where in dreams I live with a memory,
Beneath the stars all alone.

It was there I found beside the Alamo,
Enchantment strange as the blue up above.
A moonlit pass only she would know,
Still hears my broken song of love.

Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart.
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone.
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart.
Speak once again of my love, my own.

Broken song, empty words I know,
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass down beside the Alamo,
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.

Whiskey River: Willie Nelson.

Written by Johny Bush and Paul Stroud.
( EMI Full Nelson Music.)
From "Shotgun Willie/Phases and Stages", 1974, Atlantic.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind.
And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

Instrumental break.

I'm drowning in a whiskey river,
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul.
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind.
And warm an empty heart you left so cold.

Whiskey River take my mind,
Don't let her mem'ry torture me.
Whiskey River don't run dry,
You're all I've got, take care of me.

All I can say is, I'm gettin hungry Hillbilly

Jourles-- all I gotta say is "I hope you eat grits boy." Ms. Twain does it for me too. Of course, you would have to be dead from the neck down not to like that girl.

Over Thanksgiving I went to the Grand Ole Opry, we saw Vince Gill, Little Jimmie Dickens, Bill Anderson, the main act was Tim McGaraw? It was held at the old Ryman Hall? Really neat stuff?
My sister in law went with us and she told me that Clint Black was the love child of Roy Rogers and Minnie Pearl?

Breeze-- The Ryman and that bill-- I wanna be YOU when I grow up! Never thought much about it but were was Roy nine months before Mrs. Black had her bundle of joy?(lmao)

A Better Man: Clint Black.

Written by Clint Black and Hayden Nicholas.
( Howlin' Hits Music.)
From "Killing Time", 1989, BMG.

What do you say when it's over.
I don't know if I should say anything at all.
One day we're rollin' in the clover,
Next thing you know we take the fall.

Still, I think about the years since I first met you,
And the way it might have been without you here.
I don't know if words from me can still upset you,
But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear.

I know I'm leavin' here a better man,
For knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
And I'm leavin here a better man.

I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you,
But I'd never be the one to set you free.
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you,
You still believe in some old meant-to-be.

Still, I'm leavin' here a better man,
For knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
And I'm leavin here a better man.

Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man,
For knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
And I'm leavin here a better man.

Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man.
