RE: You may wonder what I'm doing here


I hear that in the US they have mixer taps that actually mix, rather than producing a single stream of water that scalds you on one side & gives you frostburn on the other.  Can this possibly be true?

You get one stream of water, a single shower head, but the handles makes accidents easy, e.g.,



If you don't get that sucker at equilibrium, you're in deep ****, mate.

D'uh. I see what you're saying.


Yes, although it's still very possible to do some silly things to yourself with these as I prove time and time again!

There's something about electricity and water coming together like that that strikes me as, erm, stupid.


Ever seen Groundhog Day?





Rejected by Rita, plagued by the realization that he must now live his life "once more and innumerable times more;" with "nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh . . . ," conscious that "the eternal hourglass of existence [will be] turned over and over and [him] with it, a mere grain of dust," Phil turns suicidal, experimenting with different ways of killing himself: driving a car over a cliff, electrocuting himself with a toaster in the bathtub, getting run over by a truck, jumping off a building. In one episode he seeks to kill the groundhog, too, convinced that, as the season's totem animal, "He's got to be stopped," or "this winter will never end." All these attempts fail, of course. Each morning, Phil Connors finds himself back in bed, awakened at 600 am by Sonny and Cher singing "I Got You Babe." At the nadir of Groundhog Day, he offers Rita the grimmest of weather forecasts, predicting that it will "be cold and gray, and it's going to last you for the rest of your life."

Its ok mate - we run them off the lighting circuit in older houses so if it shorts out, not only do you get a shock but you are plummeted in complete darkness whilst standing on a slippery surface.


I really dont know what your problem is with this?


Erm UK guys? do you think we should review this with hindsight?

But Stead, it's all perfectly safe as long as you insulate the water from the electric.  Preferably with copper.
