So, it's 1968 (yes, nineteen sixty-eight) and computers are literally huge mainframes that just do maths. Suddenly this guy pops up out of nowhere and introduces collaborative word processing via live teleconferencing feed while dragging a cursor around on his screen with a mouse. -
Take the light down and try it with a plug into an outlet, verify that the light works.

The only way to tell which of the ceiling wires is "live" (it's AC, no positive and negative) is to test using a live wire tester, the simplest of which is a "neon screwdriver". Whichever turns out to be live you should connect to the brown wire in the fitting. In reality for a light, it makes no odds, either way round will work just fine.

Father - Lung cancer (many years ago), heavy smoker of "Consulate" menthol cigarettes "cool as a mountain stream!!". Mum - Still going strong at 90, still got all her marbles but now has to use a wheeled-walker. Dad (mum's "new" hubby) - 88 registered blind (glaucoma) but otherwise all there. Mum n Dad say that together they make about 80% of a complete human, dad holds mum up and she steers!

So far, nobody has scored 100% on our Featured Quiz. This week could be your chance to shine 🙂 -
Yup, your red plate was just a temporary "dealer" plate. Your car is now properly registered.

High tide at Pak Kret, level is up a little. And my standard reference photos. I see that the neighbour's "shed" which was wonky at best has succumbed to last night's storm 😞

Stop moaning! Uncle Chillies at the PJ Hilton in KL had +++ pricing. Service, VAT, Luxury Tax 😞

Yeah, but it didn't in 2022 (it was pretty ruddy damp mind.). That's a relatively tiny level difference.

According to Google Lens the sign is in two languages, Burmese and Khmer. But it does seem odd that there's no Thai of course.

5mA is way too sensitive, wind it up to the max 25mA and see if that helps (fixed units are usually 30mA so you're not compromising safety). A lot of technology naturally "leaks" to earth via the mains inlet filter (that's why your desktop PC bites if run without an earth), it's part of the design of the equipment to minimise interference with other kit.

Is the trip related to rain?? If so, check outdoor outlets and lighting for damp. It's also worth checking your light switches and outlets for wildlife ingress. There are some tiny ants that adore electric fields, they also conduct electricity! Is your main breaker one of the "adjustable" type? Check it's set to 30mA.
