I put my fingers into a shaved socket

wondered when the sexual connotations would start.
 
:rofl: That would have worked on me at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. I put my fingers into a shaved socket that I thought was off and I got the full 240V + 110V to earth! I've nicknamed it the cocktail shock. I'm the first part and the the second part was the live tails I shoved my fingers in. Left hand is still tingling even now lol.
come on Paul,its only 175 volts! everythings via transformer so its half of 240 =120+half of 110=55 so 175 thought you would remember that lol still I suppose you will in future.

Spelling error due to getting myself a new phone and I don't know the predictive text yet. I'm not going to edit that post, it's funnier as it stands.

If I did shove my fingers into a shaved socket our lass would have my horse chest nuts in the garlic press one at a time! At least it would take away the tingling feeling that I still have in my left hand. Starting to get worried now.

Predictive text aside, good job I wasn't there as I would have wet myself laughing...
 
It'll go off about lunchtime tomorrow.....ish 4pm must have been a bad time today i decided to see if the back of my hand could bear the heat from a 25w soldering iron about that time.

You are correct in what you say sir but I had one finger on the 240 incomer , the other on the 110 out going and my thumb on the earth plate! Tell you what, the rcbo works but it took a lot longer than 200ms.
 
Don't worry tingling in the left arm is only a sign of a heart attack!

i didn't get that, just severe pain in the upper part of the chest. thought at first it was lack of beer, but it was blood starvation rather than alcohol. i had the alcohol in stock, but not blood. :drool5:

Not a proper heart attack then! I can understand the confusion blood/beer lack of either causes pain.:17:

You do know that this is not how you test an RCBO, don't you?
But good positioning though it must have taken a lot of thought to get hit by everything at once, good dedication.:smile:

it was a well proper heart attack. meat wagon to north staffs cardiac unit, on the table straightaway. tubes up femoral artery from groin and a couple of them springy thingies dropped into the blocked arteries. no beer or smokes for 4 days, wonder i made it through. LOL.
 
Mate of mine had throat cancer and had chemotherapy to kill it off, his neck look like a George Foreman grill had been at it. Anyway we were all a bit worried about how to handle his first day back but when he strolled in and asked 'who's off on the ****?' and sparked up a B&H we knew it was going to be all right!!!

He was a lucky bloke, when taking his HGV 2 test a bloke jumped in front of his wagon and committed suicide, he wanted to carry on and was most upset when the tester stopped his test... :lol:
