Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

Enlighten yourself:

A girl? ROFL!

Career move. She had been talking about at least getting out on Long Island but it would be difficult with limited mobility. In the city you can get about anything delivered and she uses a car service if she has to go someplace.

I've used cars as old as 1988, and every time I've tried replacing spark plugs it didn't help. I guess that is recent enough so they don't foul up (even with carburettors).

I never replace either of those. I've run cars for 100K miles without doing so.

What? Tyres still break, that hasn't changed.

I'm not old enough for that, but my current car runs the battery flat in 4 hours. French electrics, probably the alarm, which is impossible to access.

They still do, but I used to scrap a car at 11 years, my current car is 21 years old and I'm not considering scrapping for quite a few years yet, even though it's French.

I see no reason to fix what isn't broken.

My 2002 headlights are pitiful, very smogged up inside, for some reason it still passes the MOT. I had a previous car fail on that. They're less than half as bright as they should be. I've taken to using full beam but adjusting it down a bit. Not sure why that works, since they're the same wattage.

But it's others who will smear it.

Every man for himself is a very simple concept and would work well.

I like everyone else queueing nicely, it means I can get served first.

A sign of weakness.

That's as loathsome as it is wrong. The norks aren't doing very well; the Danes are.

I had a radio controlled car with a gearbox without oil.

Just how long does it take to get your breath back?

Rarely since there's not much snow in Scotland. Look up Glenshee. Then ask them about the guy who skied in a tartan thong for a dare.

Not your f***ed up logic, no.

You worked in a nice quiet place and chose to live in a built up shithole?

No, I lived in an inner suburb (Lewisham, later Woolwich) and worked in Thamesmead.

Yeah, you could take lessons there. You won't get any altitude sickness off that :-)

Way less time than you take to brood on lame snarky replies. That ratio is about 900:1.

Isn't there a newsgroup just for skill-free flamers?

That's for sure. My front door is 1000' higher than the base elevation.

He is actually very skilled at asking questions that get lots of comments.

Does that pay well?
