"surely the magnet is supposed to be on the other end of the hanger than the meter?" It plugs directly onto the back of the meter & the strap optionally attaches to that. The magnet is extremely strong & is particularly useful when working under the bonnet of cars. And it makes a great fridge magnet... |
| EEVblog:
I've now had two BM786's with issues on the ohms range with errant readinings, possibly switch related. If anyone else has any issue please let me know. One, meh, it happens (odd BM235 failures happen in 0.0x percent of cases). Two with a similar issue starts to become more than a coincidence. |

I know of another (british) toober who has a large selection of 'substitute' words, eg. "What the fudge is that?". Some of them are quite creative. Weird how the substitutes aren't deemed offensive when the intention/intonation is exactly the same. --- End quote --- Sorry for the late response. You seemed to have edited it, maybe I missed the last section, as I didn't notice the edit (IF that altered or put in the later BigClive bit). I thought exactly the same thing (BigClive came to mind), I convinced I remember him occasionally releasing the odd 'bad' word here and there. Maybe it seems more acceptable, because he knows the right/acceptable times, as regards British tastes, to do such things, and get away with it. It is sort of hypocritical of me, but these things are not simple Black and White things. I suppose it gets into the psychology of why some things cause annoyment, and others don't. Even if scientifically/apparently, the same things sometimes 'annoy' and other times, don't 'annoy'. I guess psychological feelings are NOT always fair or logical (almost by definition). Some people seem to instill much more tolerance (of such behaviors), than others. Maybe there is some hidden ('Alpha male') or some kind of similar or different psychological effects going on. Which are NOT totally obvious to me (subconscious). |

I work as a sparks for a fair sized northern England local authority, and some of my colleagues use the "F" word every other word in a sentence as a matter of course. Indeed, sometimes when they are hunting in their head for what they are trying to say, you can get 2 effings in a row! This causes me no surprise, though gets boring rather fast. On the other hand I have been talking to well educated, besuited people, and am shocked when they drop an F-bomb out of nowhere. As ever, YMMV... |
