that sort of thing can be nasty. It can cause random circuit overloads and the like... they were lucky it was just one block at an odd hour of the night... so were the people near the nearest sub station  |

They managed to put in a new section of cable; we were out for 10 hours - the entire block.
They had to keep working for hours afterwards but we were OK by then. |

London Electric were one of my biggest clients in a previous job.
I spent the day of Dunblaine hammering out an IT support deal for their claims... Grandpa does more damage control.  I spent the drive home battling a migraine and profiling the shooter (I was pretty close)
Nice to know it's all resolved now... what exactly had happened? |

Credit where due; EDF kept me well informed, even calling afterwards to apologise and let me know what the problem had been. |

I think Charterhouse beats most places hands down...
However, a parable...
A colleague of mine arrives in work one Friday with the healthy glow one associates with the two or three day dead.
"On the piss?" says I, shewing the blood of bards is strong in me.
"I don't know why I feel like this. I was drinking good wine last night. Thirty quid a bottle"
"Hmm," I retort, "not good, merely expensive, methinks"
And showing the in his soul poet could match my bard,
"Oh fuck off" he replied, and went in search of coffee...
and JK is right
Consider the old hymn 'Gladly my cross I'll bear'... bear meaning to endure, which was the context used...
BTW, JK, I didn't know Charterhouse was a Football/Cricket school until fact checked. Alas the Borstal surrogate I went to was Rugby/Cricket... |
