This is a question Bodge Jobs

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

My Present House

Shortly after I moved in, I needed to rip out the old security lights and put in some new ones. So I unscrewed the switch and found that every wire in there was black coloured. No red. No green. No blue. No striped green and yellow. Nope. All black.

So I checked a few other switches, including the 30 amp cooker supply, and, yup. All black.

Cheers

Oh Bollox

I'll have to go to the vet again and get some more of that parasite shampoo.

It seems that whatever, and whenever, I post, I pick another of these irritating fleas up.

Is this the only way you can think of to get people to read what you type? Latching on to others?

Out, damn spot, out......

(And I'll bet a billion dollars that you have to look up the reference you illiterate dolt)...


And, of course,

No..

Once, someone read a book to you. And had to explain it.

It's not really the same thing....

Possibly one of the rubber ones, with a lot of pictures.
Intended for bath time.

Racist.
Why can't black wires do the job just as well as other colours?

Oh, they can.
It's just they all look the same to him.

What?
Shonky electrical work in an Australian house? Now there's a surprise. I shudder whenever I look at our wiring. They're a bit stroppy over here about doing you own electrics so we got someone in to wire in our aircon and look at the porch light at the same time (the main circuit breaker tripped if ever you turned it on). He took a look at it and was pretty sure it was being fed from a different phase that bypassed the fuse box, said "too tricky" and buggered off. No one else will touch it so we're left with a non-working light. Slack bastards the lot of them.
