| * penguin42 waits for the guy from BT^WOpenReach^WMK Quinn to return as he chases down our broken landline | 11:32 | |
| penguin42 | ..who returned and said, ooh main manhole, that'll need BT | 11:54 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | which doesn't make much sense because he at first said his TDR or whatever said it was a long distance away | 11:59 |
| zxmpi | underground mapos of cabling are suggestions... at best | 13:19 |
| penguin42 | the only way to find them is to dig a hole and see who complains | 13:36 |
| zxmpi | ait till there's an agatha christie marathon on during a heatwave for instant results :-P | 13:40 |
| zxmpi | there was a great one in dublin during the 80s. road works that were started by gas people who disturbed water lines, who disturbed network tv people who disturbed gas people. after over 2 years someone put a battery powered christmas tree on it and it was fixed in a week | 13:42 |
| penguin42 | sounds something like Flanders & Swann 'the gas man cometh' | 13:47 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: Still, christmas stuff is an interesting way; there was a stuck fire door in Manchester CS dept that had been like it for ages; until someone organised a birthday party for it and invited the head of estates & services | 13:49 |
| zxmpi | nothing like a little shame and embarrassment to get the paperwork moving | 14:09 |
| zxmpi | i believe this fixed things for road repairs here https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/potholes-ahead-remove-dentures-tighten-bra-straps-co-donegal-motorists-warned-1453909.html | 14:10 |
| penguin42 | haha | 14:16 |
| daftykins | penguin42: do you think this line break is a perfect time to change cabinet? \o/ | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Would be excellent if it was | 19:51 |
| daftykins | now's the time tro stroll to the nearby cabinet and fill the lock with loctite ;) | 19:52 |
| daftykins | -r | 19:52 |
| * penguin42 was hoping more that it might attract a large lorry | 19:52 | |
| zxmpi | paint a hedgehog on it and a lorry will crush it? :-P | 20:14 |
