Lend us a pound to buy 5 pints G..
Just spent an evening with an old girlfriend..
.....there was electic in the air...
.........or should I say, I spent this evening in the hut and the electrics seem to work now.
Won't know about the orange flasher things until a new flasher wotsit arrives, but things are looking up.
It helps when you have the correct wiring diagram...

Here's a pointless extension to the pointless thread...the new pointless DSLR arrivals from Pentax. This is Pentax becoming market oriented and cynical in the extreme....or in laymans terms seriously taking the piss out of the consumer market.
"Ok guys, here's the deal. We've already developed and perfected all of this stuff so let's hold back, keep mum and instead trickle feed it to the market.
We'll hype the K30 for all its worth for now, then introduce the revised K-5 (in two versions) shortly thereafter. Once the dust has settled on these new models, we'll hit them with the K50 & K500. If we split the technological developments between both by a hairs breath (comparatively speaking) and reflect that in the price then the fools -as in the purchasing public- won't smell any rats on account of the shiny and tempting new trinkets we're waving under their noses via our clever marketing strategy"
And so the clinical & callus corporate beat goes on.

My goodness me, that's a bit of the cynic coming out isn't it? Which DSLR are you currently using?

I recently changed the light fitting on a two-way circuit, forgetting to take note of how the wires were attached at the time.
Then spent two hours going up and down the ladder to the switches and circuit breakers until I managed to get all the lights working as they did before!
How can a light possibly have 3 red, 2 yellow, 1 black and 2 earths?

been there, done that. Just remember this useful phrase, 'black to red, red to black, blue to f...'
