So it would suck, just like most politicians

If it's a fan with a capacitor then a replacement cap is a cheap and easy fix ????

No, you cannot simply add a capacitor, it needs a second winding too ????

My private pension (I'm not getting my UK state pension yet) will send life certificates by post if you want them. But, they encourage you to use their app "MyPensionID". Once it's set up (not difficult) and they want to prove you're still breathing they send you an email and the app puts up a notification. Open the app take a selfie with the app during which you blink. After a short while it tells you OK or try again. All done.

Yeah, a single-phase induction motor will sit and hum (it's actually going forwards and backwards 50 times a second) unless it gets a bump in one direction whereupon it will continue to run in that direction. What you have appears to be a ratchet / one-way device which bounces it in the right direction. I had a clock long ago which used the same idea, when it failed the clock would randomly start running backwards. You may struggle to replicate its action; I'd probably just continue to start it manually.

The oldies are the goodies! Mrs. Smith; the mother of 3 children was in the process of baking a birthday cake for her daughter, when she mistakenly used BB’s to adorn the top of the cake, instead of colored sugar beads. No one seemed to notice and the birthday cake was a big hit at the family party. Several hours later her daughter came running out of the bathroom screaming, “Mommy Mommy Mommy, I just went pee pee and BB’s came out of me. After realizing her baking blunder, Mrs. Smith asked her daughter if she was feeling ok . The little girl replied, “Yes Mommy I feel ok.”. “Well ok then go outside and play”, said Mrs. Smith. About ten minutes later her youngest son came screaming into the kitchen, “Mom, I just peed and BB’s came out.” Again the mother asked, “Are you ok?” The little son replied yes and ran off to go play outside. A while later the oldest son comes into the kitchen crying hysterically. Before he could say anything Mrs. Smith consoles him by saying, “ I know, you went to pee and BB’s came out, right?” The older son replies, “No mom! I was in my room playing with myself and I shot the dog!

Have they been replaced? An extinguisher in "poor" condition is far better than no extinguisher! Get the new ones, then swap out! 19,000 to be replaced, 10,000 ordered!

These things are available in quite long lengths if you are prepared to hunt, a bunch of 1/2" brass joiners and you're good to go.

Yeah, as with all these things, YMMV.

It's doing about 30k passenger trips per day. Someone got their terminology wrong ???? Yes, the rolling stock is identical on the two lines. In fact, all the systems are identical on the two lines.

Yeah, ours isn't the SCG one, I just picked it as an example and I certainly don't recall any of that on the label. We just turn off the water when done (the one on the upstairs patio gets coiled), it still lasts far better than the regular green (which goes hard) or the clear which just falls apart.

We've had good service from the blue "PVC rubber" hose, it's much softer than the green garden hose and seems to take wear better. This kind of stuff.

Begins with a P ???? I really wish the lines had numbers as well as colours, there is forever confusion between the Light Green and Dark Green.

Yeah, I was thinking "bloke in a suit" too, movement is nothing like any other bi-pedal robot, far too human. https://www.latestly.com/social-viral/fact-check/the-emir-of-bahrain-arrived-in-dubai-with-his-robot-body-guard-heres-the-fact-check-on-viral-video-claiming-hamad-bin-isa-al-khalifas-eye-catching-arrival-in-dubai-1961996.html The Emir looks like this: -

Cats are pretty clever when it comes to bitey things ???? The centipedes also don't last long with an enthusiastic chicken on each end (then Roo the rooster bites it in half and the girls are happy) ????

It's not SCB, it's the government of your host country ???? Even when you return home you may find similar issues without a mobile.

Hardly surprising!

I used to drool over Floella (now Baroness) Benjamin ???? Carried the sceptre at King Charles III coronation! Still pretty darn lovely!

Here's a house, Here's a door, Windows one, two, three, four, Ready to knock? Turn the lock, It's ... ... Derek Griffiths ???? No. not that one, this one: -
