Offside Rule and blokey things

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I know about the offside rule actually.

What I don't know is how to get a dual fuel cooker installed. Do I have to get a separate electrician and gas fitter or is there a way of saving money by having one person fit both?

If so, can anybody recommend someone please?

[Narnia]

For those who might be able to recommend someone it might be useful to know if it's replacing another dual fuel cooker. In other words are the gas and electricity supplies already in place? I had a friend install one a couple of years ago. He did the whole job.

Go on then..........what's the offside rule?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have a gas cooker currently installed, but the electrics were put in place when the kitchen was refurbished.

Take one pepper pot, one salt cellar and a bottle of HP Sauce ....

[KalamityKel]

HAHA "blokey things" indeed!

[jumpinjackflash]

Speaking of offside....

[Keef]

Doesn't the electrical side just involve plugging it in? ;-)

[Narnia]

Keef, you are in danger of being throw out of the 'secret society of men who do blokey things'. Just plug it in? Who would believe that?

[Ladymuck]

I think I finally understand (vaguely) the OS rule (in theory). Problem is, I forget all about it on pitch...

...so many free kicks...:-$.

Oh Dear me

Pepper pots & H.P sauces aside

A 30/32A radial using 4mm? cable can serve a 75m? floor area

( in other words you can't safely put a 13 amp plug onto a 30 Amp cable )

As for the gas, well it used to need a corgi registered ( now gas safe ) plumber to instal/gas test it ( officially )

Now, any tips on short crust pastry boys ?

understand (vaguely) = haven't got a clue

(in theory) = still haven't got a clue

on pitch = hanging out with northerners?

[Ladymuck]

That's three ice-lolly sticks...

Hilarious and spot on. Especially the "Northerners'" bit.

Expect an unexpected appearance from her Majesty DJKQ.

My cooker seems to run best on compliments and chocolate.

[Narnia]

That sort of remark might get you sacked Brendan.

The oven should be on a separate circuit to the kitchen circuit, with its own circuit breaker thingy (technical term).

[DJKillaQueen]

It is on a seperate circuit because becuase of the high voltage involved...hence the very thick wire from your cooker (thicker the wire - higher the ampere and current rating). Funnily enough I will be connecting an electric cooker for an OAP tm.

Now to offside. I have lost count of the number of wrong and bad offside calls or non-calls by male referees....nuff said I think!

I was going to challenge this but then counted up how many of the ladies footy crew are Northern, and foreigners aside have to conceed it's pretty much all of them with one from the Midlands which is still a Northerner as far as Southerners are concerned ;-)

[dita-on-tees]

so is my excuse for always being offside the fact that I am northern. Goes off to contemplate the possibility...

[Narnia]

Eh?

on pitch = Northern

on the pitch = English

[DJKillaQueen]

So does that mean Northern doesn't equal English ;-) and where does that leave foreign referees, especially foreign female referees?

[Ladymuck]

No no no no no Dita! LOL!

I used the phrase "on pitch" earlier (as opposed to the phrase "on the pitch"). Narnia surmised that I might have picked this up from Northern footie chums (there's another: "footie"). Given that I am a Londoner and there are quite a few Northerners in our team, I thought it was funny that he should spot that.

As for the theory that your being offside might have something to do with your Northern roots...sorry, but you can't use that excuse; coz me iz a London-err (ear me now) and me iz offside waay more dan you innit...:))

[Narnia]

I'm talking linguistically here. What are you talking?

[Brendan]

I'm confused. Are you implying that there is a difference between foreigners and northerners?

> roots...sorry,

By ?roots? do you mean potatoes? Only, you see, it is a curiosity to visitors to this moistened isle that as you travel North through its counties the population?s appearance becomes proportionately more spud like. This is notable because of the already noticeable potatoeiness you are greeted by when you click your heels on the harbour side at Southampton.

[PeckhamRose]

I think they meant ont' pitch.

As for electric and ovens, isn't that why we have takeaways and fast food joints so we don't have to worry our little heads with these things?

Fixed that for you.
