Learn from the Masters: Take up gaslighting.  http://www.barnhardt.biz/2016/03/06/diabolical-narcissism-gaslighting/

I don't need to annoy my (ex) other half. She's just permanently, deeply annoyed. Something to do with having endured through years in the Pol Pot death camps.

But personally, I don't understand why you'd want to play irritating tricks on someone you care for?

She probably has noticed and is thinking "now what have you shed loads of money on"  :)

Actually no...
She is thinking;

Withhold sex for a week, at that special moment....
"Hay Honey, what color should we paint the ceiling?"

She noticed finally and has moved them to the other side of the glass i.e. outside. I can only say well played. She's sitting opposite me looking proud of herself :)

As for why we do this: it's pretty normal. Makes like more interesting and gives if something to laugh about. This is all in jest. I've been on the end of many more.

Which should be countered by another question; Nipple pink or breast flesh white?

We need a photo to compare the relative artistry of the two arrangements!

I would have got one but unfortunately it was dark outside and I wasn't going to leave my babies out all night :D

For some year or so my wife and I had a little semi-flexible model of the Pink Panther (as in Peter Sellers movies), it had a bit of wire in the arms and legs and would move spontaneously around the house, car etc. into various positions. One of the funniest, after a big party, the following morning was found "driving the porcelain bus". :palm:
Whoah! Watch where that landed we might need it later.

I thought this thread was going to be about "buy yet another multimeter".
"banging meter needles into stop pins since 1965"

Nope. Already been there :)

Re: pink panther. Hahaha. I had one of them in the 80s. All the metal bits inside snapped and it went in the bin. I wish I'd put it to such a good use as driving the porcelain bus :D

So 12 hours, not too bad given the caps are a completely different colour to everything else on the window.

I've seen the prices of these caps, so I know why you rushed outside to 'rescue' them.

They're date coded week 26 1977 so I'm not sure they're worth that much but ESR is still low and they're in tolerance and vents aren't popped so should still be good.


Still trying to decide on capacitor bank or ebay as the fate of these.
