If you wouldn't put your tongue or your dick on it then turn it off or wear gloves for protection.

Some is 6mm twin and earth. There are no exposed wires. I'm still alive but I think I would be broke or dead if I didn't know a thing or two. For curiosities sake, who thought it was a good idea to run electricity through metal conduit? It seems counter intuitive. Edited 23/01/17 03:08 PM by Puffwagon Just cos.

SA Power Networks are prerty good to deal with. We popped a main fuse on a customers house a few years back during renovations. They were out to the property with in an hour swapped the main fuse over at no charge to us or the customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped my phone and shattered the screen 4wks ago and been with telstra for 14yrs straight and they want me to pay the phone off and contract in full before renewing my contract and giving me a new phone. Got none of my contacts and had to buy a prepaid phone and sim as I refuse to play by there rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
