Can I test the ring

[securespark]

Call me immature if you will. Don't you think admitting getting kicks out of winding people up (esp. at the age of 40) is immature?

No, I don't mean spell correctly.

To spell means to put the letters of a given word in the correct order.

I'm not wound up at all. In fact, you've made my day. It made me laugh out loud to see you slagging someone off for lacking intelligence, then making spelling mistakes!

If you are going to be critical, prepare for the same in return.

OK I will. You are immature.


Don't you think admitting getting kicks out of winding people up (esp. at the age of 40) is immature?

But you said I didnt wind you up , so how can I get a kick out of it? Hmmmm.....

No, I don't mean spell correctly.

To spell means to put the letters of a given word in the correct order.

So you can't have an incorrect spelling?



I'm not wound up at all. In fact, you've made my day.

Glad to hear it.


It made me laugh out loud

you're easily pleased!

to see you slagging someone off for lacking intelligence,

So you agree they lack intelligence, that was my point, thanks!

then making spelling mistakes!


Oh..you mean the same as you, pointing out my spelling mistake?

Spelling mistake, NOT mistakes. So clearly you have trouble counting as well.

Ohhhh, I can see i'll have to watch my step with that kind of rapier sharp observation skills



If you are going to be critical (like you have been?), prepare for the same in return.

Oh no please stop you superior responses are killing me



Enjoy the rest of your day ginge

Bald Electrician... from what I have read in your posts lately, the building regs seem to be a lot better implemented in Scotland and I envy you!



No offence to original op but I think Adam151 summed things up very well - I do worry about the way the Electrical Industry is going!

And Totallyspies... the guy is stuck in a tricky situation so there's no need to be quite so harsh - you've never even met him!

Sorry I cant resist it! But seriously, this guy, in my opinion, really shouldnt be working on domestic electrical installations. He clearly doesnt , as yet, have the apptitude.

You don't. However, the question still stands. Don't you think it immature to get a kick out of this kind of thing, especially at 40?

You can't really say no, can you? In which case, you can't really call me immature, can you?

So you can't have an incorrect spelling?

Just quoting the dictionary definition of "spell"...

So you agree they lack intelligence, that was my point, thanks!

And when exactly did I agree anything like that?

So clearly you have trouble counting as well.

Immature. Again.

Ohhhh, I can see i'll have to watch my step with that kind of rapier sharp observation skills

And again.

Enjoy the rest of your day ginge

WTF does that mean? If you've now lowered yourself to crude insults, you really have lost it, haven't you?

Goodnight. I wish you well in your quest to attempt to wind up more folk.

Im with you securespark Totallypies is a wind up merchant.

RF Lighting, the lighting ring SHOULD be on a radial and should contain an earth. At least the part p qual that gerren has provided him with the knowledge to question how to proceed as things are not as they should be. Well done gerren at least you didn’t just wire phase and neutral and think hey the powers there where’s my cash

plugwash and lectrician Can you not imagine that the new installation was erected before any consideration was given to the existing installation. If the tests are done to the existing installation before the new is connected is that contravening bs7671? Its just not the order in which a more experienced electrical installation technician would work. You make to many assumptions in your reasoning that is aimed at knocking a persons knowledge and capabilities rather than guiding the way to be as enlightened as you pair.

Pensdown the guy didn’t mention doing a part a,band c just the level he is qualified to operate at and you’ve never met him! Your questions make you look like a school yard bully!

TUT TUT to all that gave such negative and assuming replies

like the spelling mistake!!
totallypies just about sums him up!

Bob

I'm sorry if our questions made us out to be bullies - it was not intentional, certainly on my part, and I don't think that was the intention of the others, either.

However, the regs clearly state that no additions or alterations should be carried out unless the adequacy of earthing and bonding arrangements has been assured.

So, in terms of earthing and bonding at least, you should be refusing to connect up any new wiring to an installation, unless you are happy that the circuit you are connecting to is healthy, and that main and supplementary bonding is to current standard.

Regulation 130-07-01.

No addition or alteration, temporary or permanent, shall be made to an existing installation, unless it has been ascertained that the rating and the condition of existing equipment, including that of the distributor, which will have to carry any additional load is adequate for the altered circumstances and the earthing and bonding arrangements are also adequate.

 

[RF Lighting]

I'm sorry too Sir

However all I did was make an assumption that the lighting circuit would be a radial rather than a ring final circuit. Often on this forum we have no choice but to assume due to a lack of information or technical knowledge from the op. Don't forget we do try and help people in our free time out of the goodness of our hearts.

Bob…Like securespark said it was certainly never my intention to sound like a bully. I personally know very little about the new PP training courses for other trades - how long they take - what they cover – what certification is issued etc. As I said, I wanted to pick his brains as he was the first person I’d come across who has done one of the courses.

I’m all for other trades becoming more conversant with electrical installations and as I said, well done for passing the B course.

However basic the courses may be it’s a move in the right direction and the courses should go some way to stopping some of the past bad practices.

It would be nice if dickheads like TS stopped using this technical forum as their playground then other people might read the posts as they were intended.

I'll tell you the real reason I responded to all previous posts in the manner I did.
You know the chap on the "other" forum, who thinks he knows absolutely everything about electrical work (according to him)? Ban all something or other....

I decided to conduct my own experiment and highlight the fact that, the way he posts, argues and generally puts down others he considers below him, is not the way to make constructive input/ criticism etc. All that it achieves is making enemies and getting tied up in pointless, long winded posts.

I have had arguments with him in the past, and I know he reads this forum and some times posts, so I hope he will read this and all previous posts and realises his errors.

And I have proven my point.

I apologize to all concerned if I upset you in any way, but I really wanted the above mentioned big head to realise how he comes across to others!

 

[ban-all-sheds]

And I have proven my point.

Actually, no - you have proven something completely different.

 

[securespark]

Ding, ding!

Round two.....

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Just ignore him - I plan to.

It's one thing to argue with someone over something you believe they have got wrong, but to invent arguments with persons B, C & D etc because you've taken a dislike to person A, is just so pathetic that there is no point in any more exchanges with him.
