Damp meter, what am i doing wrong (1 Viewer)

[Zoobec]

I bought a new cordless kettle today. Unpacked it and thought for a minute the base was missing! It was inside the kettle

God there are some stupid people about eh

Oh my god, i am such a donkey, i feel so embarrassed. In Salford we call this type of person "A Dick Head", never before as such a label been so apt.

Thank you all you professors.

PS. It now works.

You are not alone , I was installing heating in a house , the guy was moaning about the shower he had installed 7 years ago , he wanted the chrome one but got the blue one , when I peeled off the plastic protective covering to reveal the chrome he was also embarrassed

Bet you don't fall for that one again
When I had my graphics business I used to make show plates (number plates) I had a young lady asking to have a new one made as she had been told by a traffic policeman to get It changed as It was the wrong colour, I thought the car must have had a white front plate fitted to the back but she said no it is Pink, I went out to take a look and she was right the rear plate had a strong tint of Pink, I saved her £25.00 that day as I removed the protective film for free, I must say It made my day though as she was going to have words with her partner who fitted the plate for her.

Random question for you……we have bought a second hand Motorhome and the front number plate has never had the protective film removed. It’s baked on by the look of it, any ideas on how to remove it?

I thought the same but I expect a new one will have a protective film on it as well.
Life's a pig, innit?

Short answer is no.
There might be a solvent out there that might get it off if you're lucky. All our acrylics and plastics had a film on which was not uv stable so as soon as possible after producing the signs we would remove the films. I had to be carefully pulling these films of the big sheets as I was susceptible to the tremendous static electric shock it could generate

When I got my current car at 2.5 yrs old it still had the film all over the dashboard. Luckily it still peeled off easily.

If you ALL promise not to laugh at me I’ll tell you a story. Short version……

I drive off in the car with my iPhone in the roof………no,that’s not the whole story,just the start

I discover the phone about half a mile away,on the side of the road,all smashed up.

But I did recover the £20 note that I’d kept in the “genuine leather” phone cover .

So,the duchess orders me a brand new iPhone that comes in 48 hours

But it’s very quiet……..doesn’t matter which button I press it’s still very low volume. I phone her,she phones me. I phone the kids for advice (well,one has a masters in electronic engineering….is he really mine??). Nothing doing.

So,we go to the nice people at John Lewis (my god I don’t like shopping but if you want a good shop that is one)…….I show him the phone…..he smiles………”Sir,you’ve put the screen protector on the wrong way round”.

Conclude what you will from this. I don’t know you,you don’t know me…..my inadequacy is a secret is within these threads!!!!!!

 

[Jamesh]

Don't worry I put two graphics on my van a cyclist and a runner, so I put the cyclist over the loo area because his wider and the runner over the kitchen area... Stepped back and patted myself on back only to realise they are both going backwards!!! Doh.
And backwards they remained!!

It's kept me chuckling all evening, just a classic! I realised long ago I was a congenital buffoon and begat two of my own, but we find that has created a great source of our humour!
