That reminds me of a "Dilbert" cartoon I saw awhile ago. The boss is standing in front of two of his engineers holding a rectangular object and saying "I'm having trouble with my tablet again, and forgot what I have to do to re-boot it."

Engineer says.... "Remember -- you have to hold it over your head, upside down, and shake it."

Laughing my ass off Willie

Afternoon Lads 


I came across a canny bargain today , I went to B&Q   ( its a DIY store)  to pick up a couple of  tarpaulins to cover up some gear I am moving out of the workshop 

,anyway I could not find what I was looking for as they were out of stock ,so I decided to buy some wire cutters and stripper .




I do like CK and Knipex gear , good German quality . So off I goes to the automated pay point  scans the the item and it came up £12.50      , thats less than the price for one , it should have been about £28 for the two , so swipes my card and the lady comes over to remove the security tags , and she looks at the screen , methinks ***** ! ,then she says I have gotten a bargain  , I ask why ?  how ?  she says they are old stock huh!  WTF !   ,,,,,,,,,,,ok I said hold the ones I have just bough and nipped back for a few others from the range. 


 

I got all 5 for £28.50 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that's £0.50 more than I was expecting to pay for two
