[11:32]  * penguin42 waits for the guy from BT^WOpenReach^WMK Quinn to return as he chases down our broken landline
[11:54] <penguin42> ..who returned and said, ooh main manhole, that'll need BT
[11:59] <penguin42> which doesn't make much sense because he at first said his TDR or whatever said it was a long distance away
[13:19] <zxmpi> underground mapos of cabling are suggestions... at best
[13:36] <penguin42> the only way to find them is to dig a hole and see who complains
[13:40] <zxmpi> ait till there's an agatha christie marathon on during a heatwave for instant results :-P
[13:42] <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
[13:47] <penguin42> sounds something like Flanders & Swann 'the gas man cometh'
[13:49] <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
[14:09] <zxmpi> nothing like a little shame and embarrassment to get the paperwork moving
[14:10] <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
[14:16] <penguin42> haha
[18:54] <daftykins> penguin42: do you think this line break is a perfect time to change cabinet? \o/
[19:51] <penguin42> daftykins: Would be excellent if it was
[19:52] <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
[20:14] <zxmpi> paint a hedgehog on it and a lorry will crush it? :-P
