So what happened to Phil the EEVBlog apprentice with the dodgy voice? Some stuff about laser physics (IIRC) would have been very insightful.

He couldn't find the left hand screwdriver, so I had to sack him.
He's back working as a physics patent attorney (no jobs in lasers).

I got my apprentice to root around in the drawer the other day for an 'aluminium magnet', he spent quite a while doing it too! Best of luck to Phil, would be good to get him back for other guest appearances if he's got time, Doug Ford too!

best one I heard was send 'em to the hardware store and ask them to buy a "long weight"

Send them after some frequency grease, chemlight batteries, or a can of squelch.

The one most used in my day was to send them out for a tin of elbow grease.

I remember when I was in Year 4 at primary school, the teacher sent someone round all the school to try and get some elbow grease to facilitate cleaning the whiteboard   .
