I Hope That was the Voice of God.

But sadly I know it was just one of those "smart" electricity meters.

Literally just as I logged of my PC the incandescent light bulb in the front room blew taking the downstairs circuit with it. Now I could have fixed this my self if my former (valve era) electrician father could just tell me where the 5amp wire is. Apparently it's his birthday (17/11/11) today so he couldn't. Now he's been woken up.

I hate to insult him publicly but recently I had to explain to him that if you run a varying current through the resistor that is an incandescent bulb it will blow. By that point he'd run through about 6 bulbs.

Seriously the guy uses his big TV as an aid to fall asleep every night and still wonders why his electricity bulb is so high.
