Leave 'm there as a mark of time.............
(read your script-its short-i cant really handle reading film script its so blunt - your scrp was ok nothing new -u could always make it into a short animation)
Turn other electrical items off - then try again
that's good, i wasn't aiming for anything more than a script to scrape me through collegeQuote:

You could also try in another room and see if it works there.

Just replace all the fuse wires in the fuse box with regular wire.
You need never worry about tripping a fuse again. Your house may burn down, however :unsure:
get a wind up hoover
nothing like living on the edge. i say go for it
I hope he is still alive :unsure:

What about if you plug the hoover in a pulug in someone elses room?
i would expect the same, i'll check later, i'm feeling anti-social right now, you twat
the kitchen doesn't have a breaker though - i'll try there
Go for it
:blink: did i miss something?
I don't think so
i think i did but okies if you say so
Like what?
huh? oh um, nmQuote:

so you have triped a fuse?
just find the fuse and swich it off and on again, if im reading this right..
the problem is that it the vacuum cleaner keeps setting the fuse off, i can reset it (which is how i'm typing now :rolleyes: ), just can't use the vacuum without blowing the breaker againQuote:

proberly because you have too many electrical devices in the one room\on the one breaker so the vacuum is what finally trips it.
i went down to reception (in another building :dry: ) and spoke with the rude, fat, 'tachioed receptionist-man, he told me that the vacuums have too high an ampage to work in rooms, which means i have to plug the vacuum into the socket in the hallway, which means i can only clean the first 3 feet of my room :dry: that explains why the room was so dusty in the first place
Obviously you need an extension.Quote:
