  1. I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 174 seconds  
  2. You may score with a specialist electrical store who will be able to order one for you. This is our local place, very conveniently located next to the bottle shop
  3. There are a number of ways of wiring 2-way (3-way to our friends across the pond) light switches. All need two 2-way (single-pole double throw) switches. Here's a more conventional representation. As noted earlier @proton do you still have the old switches? If so trot down to your local electrical supplier and get a replacement module for the faulty one. Photos of the switch at the other end of the 2-way arrangement would be useful. Also, just to be sure, can you take a photo of the back of one of your new switches, they usually have a representation of the internal wiring.
  4. I suspect that you have actually got two single-pole one-way (on-off) switches, whereas, as noted above, you need at least one of them to be two-way. If you still have the original switches, take the faulty one to your local electrical outlet and try to source a replacement.
  5. Did he replace both switches or just the faulty one?
  6. I think it's Boris Johnson.
  7. In my defence we had just climbed out of a dark, dirty, noisy, wet hole in the ground, which, despite being right next to the pyramids, was definitely not a tomb for a Pharo or anyone else, ok maybe some rats. The traffic is crazy, driving is just mad with pedestrians crossing 6 lane highways! Total anarchy!
  8. Nah, the MCB is waaaaay too slow to trip on the EMP, it won't even notice. MCB several milliseconds to think about operating, lightning pulse sub microsecond.
  9. Bo Jo has uploaded OK Sitting in a Cairo coffee shop (yes actual coffee) It's a lot colder here than people think 😞
  10. My Wife just phoned me and the conversation went like this :- Her: "You know that Gladiator movie that I got you for Xmas..???" Me: "Yeah." Her: "Wind it forward One Hour, 16 mins and 28 seconds." Me: "Right, I've done that".. Her: "Okay, you see the Gladiator at the front Fighting the Lion..???" Me: "I can see that, yeah." Her: "Just behind him, there are two Gladiators having a Sword Fight with each other??" Me: Okay, I see them." Her: "Well, behind them two, on the left hand side of the Screen, there's a Gladiator holding a Spear???" Me: "Yes...! I can see him".. Her: "Right...... Those are the Sandals, I want for my Birthday."
  11. How big is the pump?? What "curve" was the first unit? If it was "B" then the startup surge from your pump may have tripped it. That said I've not seen a B curve unit here; C curve seems to be the standard. It's always possible that the Haco one was actually faulty. In our time BS (Before Solar) we never managed to trip our 63A incomer even with Madam's 3HP irrigation and 2HP lift pumps running.
  12. Yeah, I always thought they used silver-iodide (AgI) for cloud seeding.
  13. The "gored" story was later retracted by Spanish news agency EFE. https://aseannow.com/topic/1348003-spanish-student-dies-after-being-attacked-by-elephant-in-thailand/#comment-19493027
  14. Yeah, that's one reason we decided to go it alone and have an off-grid system with batteries. More expensive equipment but we DIY'd the system so no installation costs (ok much reduced coz I still ended up paying family for labour). We retain our PEA connection for backup (it also runs the water heaters to keep the meter moving).
  15. I wasn't really suggesting going to Amazon it was just a quick example. These or similar things are readily available on Lazada etc. ASUS also do NUC devices https://www.asus.com/eg-en/content/nuc-overview/ Your desktop will be just fine of course 🙂
  16. These beasties, readily available here, but a desktop has added advantages if being highly expandable. https://www.amazon.com/intel-nuc/s?k=intel+nuc
