I see what you're getting at now, jrussel.


If I may present my own parallel experience:


The other day I had a disagreement with an orange, who I accused of behaving exactly like Celine Dion. I understand that there are differences between oranges and Celine Dion (geographical origin, accents, cruel thin nose etc) but in the context of our disagreement - first and foremost - and without (herewith) no further ado, I, er..


And other nonsensical made-up stuff.

You need to try a bit harder with your analogy. To start with, you need to explain the context of your disagreement. Otherwise I cannot comment and you are really just wasting everyone's time.

What's the context of your disagreement Dogster?


I'm assuming it's one of the following:

(a) Can't tell the difference in accent

(b) Think everyone who is doing 'something' (unspecified) is Ozzie

© Think that everyone in the world is a figment of your imagination and you can label them as you wish without redress


If (a) then there's no need to tell people they have no identity, just tell them you can't differentiate their accent.

If (b) then as per your request to Bob, please tell us what that 'something' is, and we'll try and help.

If © then see a psychologist as you have no friends to help you.


I suspect the underlying problem is ©, but it's exacerbated by (a), and that you're pretending it's (b) because that means you can blame everyone else.

I shall expand.


I don't like oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines), as I find them difficult to peel and they make my fingers all sticky.

I don't like Celine Dion, as she is difficult to peel and makes my fingers all sticky.

So, whilst I am happy to recognise that there are differences between Celine Dion and oranges, in the context of how they both make me feel - ie angry - there are no differences between Celine Dion and oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines)


I hope this is now clear enough for you.

Yes, it would seem to be true, on the basis of the information given, to say that in the context of how they make you feel, there is no difference between the orange and Celine Dion.


So? What is your point?

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
