Well I'm a sparky, but it doesn't mean I know what I'm on about! (I do really, don't worry.)
If you've got a split load board with RCD protection (big red switch in the middle of the board, should be twice as wide as the breakers) chances are one of your appliances has an earth leakage fault.
Unplug everything, reinstate the RCD and any MCB's on the protected side, and plug everything in one by one, waiting a minute or so at a time. When it trips, that's your dodgy appliance.

I even asked if they had any more stock! Screw it, I'm selling one of them at CEX, that way, I'll have paid £1 for a sealed Ninty game. That's got to be some kind of record right?

Probably not, could just be bad wiring though.
Where's my suit of armour when I need it. Can't white knight without it.
Check out Britgaf's Warren Buffett here!
So going into the Morrisons next to work and seeing if they got any!

Morning guys,
Feeling better but I'm a little worried as this low has come out of nowhere, if it persists I'm going to the doctor, no bullshit this time.
8/10 would smang

NinjaBix I have question - the lights in my house are SHIT (to the point where my main living room lights have disintegrated into uselessness). Roughly how much woudl it cost to get new light fittings and have them installed? It would be for two fixtures, probably with multiple bulbs in them (currently have three lightbulbs in my main light). Currently on a dimmer too, I'd like to replace that with a normal switch so I can use energy saving bulbs properly.
I keep putting it off because I think it will be expensive.

I wish it was this simple
Yeah that threw me as well, she is cute as hell.

Well personally, I'd charge £20 to change a fitting (£10 mates rates, £5 Jed rates) and like a fiver for a switch. But what do you mean the lights are disintegrating? The fittings themselves? The wiring?
Because the former is an easily solvable problem. The latter could point to a full rewire.
Edit: as for the price of the fittings, it depends how fancy the missus tastes are!

That'll be a 13a fused spur unit with a neon indicator. It's usually just a means of local isolation, usually for a cooker, shower, or as you say a heater, something that draws a lot of current.

Thanks, I don't exactly know what the board is but when I looked at it yesterday the middle switch was tripped.
NinjaBoiX

Sorry yeah, the board is just work speak for "fuse box". Well the middle switch (big red one) will be your RCD (residual current device). This detects an imbalance in load between the live and neutral, and governs all the sockets in your house. If your MCB' s (miniature circuit breaker, the small grey ones) are also tripping, that would imply earth leakage, as that's what they're designed to detect.
Either way, it sounds like you may have a faulty appliance me old mucca.

Well firstly the wiring is a bit suspect because it blows bulbs within days/weeks of having them in there (but they're the shitty mini-bayonette candle bulbs), but over the years the sockets where I screw the bulbs in have also worn away so now I can't get the blown bulbs out at all. So I just want shot of the whole mess and get me some brand new lights (all using the same bulbs! that would be nice...) so I can have confidence in my shit.
I fucking hate the twat who built my house. My living room alone has four different kinds of lightbulbs and ALL of them blow constantly and none of them like energy saving bulbs, it's retarded.

First panel of second image is how I act if there's a bee in the house.

Oh right, so it isn't your wiring.
Well as I say Jed, I wouldn't expect to pay much more than £20 per fitting to replace them. And you can spend anything from a couple of quid to a couple of hundred on a fitting. It all depends on how flash you want it.
It could well be. Unplug everything from your ring main, reset the RCD, and plug it in. See what happens.
Rubbish King

yeah, that and a wasp
come on son, bees are chilled as fuck, one was trapped in my room yesterday and I set it free like a hero of the bees
lol
No kidding! The second I find out there's a bee in the room I dash out of the room. shut the door. Take a few minutes to prepare myself then go back in, open the window and get out of the room as quick as I can. Wait 4 hours and then go back and check if it has left. If it hasn't left then I wait until it's settled down on the wall before getting the hoover. Hate bees. At least they're slow compared to wasps. Fuck wasps.
I can't say that I agree. I own a Wii and I really never felt excited for releases or blown away by the games on offer. Obviously 'amazing exclusives' is subjective but still. Nintendo is an acquired taste that not everyone is susceptible to.

do they do wasps?
You could, but if you don't kill a wasp in one swoop it's going to go fucking crazy on you.

You often just paralyse them which is why you need to get their body on to the racket and just let them cook.
The new season of Arrested Development is very disappointing so far.
Episode 1 was okay, 2 was not, and I got halfway through episode 3 and just had to turn it off.
The lack of quality is especially obvious as I just saw seasons 1 through 3 for the first time ever over the last two weeks.

Apparently 2 people are "checking me out", but I can't see who while I'm still an 'applicant'. I think I'm gonna ride this all the way to 48 hours.

His name being a video game reference makes it less appealing somehow. Ha.

Did you only just find out? I thought everyone knew Kent Paul from Vice City.
You call yourself a nerd Coldman?
SMH.
The way it's written is like an 8 hour movie. It is really slow to get going and I was agreeing with you. Then episode 8 hits and it is back to being just simply amazing.
PM'd. Can only redeem one game per account anyway, so someone can't have both NSMB2 codes.
Did you ever redeem your 3DS console? If not, you might be able to get a free copy of Monster Hunter 3 from someone if they already own it!

I thought very similarly as well, but it's really after episode 3 is when it starts kicking into high gear. First three episodes are foundation building and rather scattershot. Loved how season 4 turned out.

I think the most disappointing part was when I discovered his real name
