Red hot days in summer, doors and windows open to create a through draft, lad walks in and closes door.
Middle of winter freezing cold and chucking it down plus blowing a hooley, lad walks in leaves door wide open walks through to his room leaving all doors open and when asked why says "I'm going straight out again.
We have a double oven set up with the top one being a combination oven / grill / microwave. Both ovens have clock/timers which are on all the time. We had the kitchen rebuilt about 12 months ago including adding separate isolation switches for the two ovens and the hob. The units are expensive AEG posh ones.
"The top oven isn't working -- look the clock has gone off"
She is indeed correct, there is no power to the top oven, although the lower oven is still showing the time.
She is obviously upset about this, but it's obviously not an electrical fault in the wiring.
Cue mumbling from madam about it must be broken...
Knowing SWMBO's prediliction for cramming as much crap as she can into any available cupboard, I open the cupboard above the cookers, remove the random crap rammed in there .... and turn the switch back on which was turned off when she shoved the door closed to make the excess crap fit.
I redistribute the crap so that it actually fits into the cupboard without pressing on the switch.
Cue a period of blessed silence.

I installed one of these in an out of the way place, helps a little.A friend of mine had the same problem
I installed one of these, its self powered, and arms as soon as you take the bluetooth key away
took a bit of thinking about but it works
oddly the last time it chirped the tractor had been moved about 6 feet in the dutch barn, almost as if some one was planning to come back for it
if you have a building with power and wifi nearby then a small camera would also be useful as it will indicate movement
PM me if you need some help
Trouble is they often winch straight on to a trailer to keep the noise down.
Useful if you have a stealable car as well.
On our tractor it is hidden under the L/H side and not visible.
The key is removeable and gets taken out with the ignition key.
Less than £10.
Every little helps!!!

"Vacuum cleaners packed up."
Fair enough it was a second hand one given to us and of indeterminate age.
Looked on ebay and a new replacement would be circa £120.
Realised that it was a pre E.U regs change i.e 1200 watts I think the limit is about 640 now.
Also noted that replacement motors were available £30.
So worth a go.
Tooling required one phillips screw driver to remove 7 screws,
Opened it up, no burning smell, realised that the slip rings were covered in crap.
Cleaned same, reassemble and hey presto.
Less than a hours work.
You wonder how much stuff goes into the tip with no real faults.

I was thinking more of this one which was popular in the fifties.
In 1664, Sir Samuel Morland produced a calculating machine to add, subtract, multiply and divide. He also produced a pocket-sized machine.
In 1904, his descendant, Oliver Morland, head of the English printing house of Morland & Impey Ltd; heard of a loose-leaf binder - constructed on a flexible thong principle - which had just been invented in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. He acquired world rights, excluding North and South America.
The English company then began production of the loose-leaf binder and, because of its birthplace, gave it the trade name of "Kalamazoo".

I suspect that that idea is but a pipe dream, really.

On the way back from visiting Dad just now, "Oooo, we need to stop at the post box and post these cards."
So I pulled up at the post box. She went to hand me the envelopes.
"Why are you doing that, the post box is on your side of the car, no more than 3 steps away?"
So, huffily, out of the car she gets to post them.
Which she proceeds to do.
One.

Allowing there's no rational answer to this but, how do their minds work?

I have emptied all of my remaining kit out of the car ( left the rest in a clients garage in case of snow)
gave the car a hoover
my wife said why are you bothering to empty it ?
in case a local mong takes me out early tommorow, then its just a shell
where are you going ?
to take the car to the bodyshop to have some paint defects sorted
is it worth it ? he might not open with this snow ??
You remember the bloke your brother used to take his rally cars to, and also did a lot of rallying ?
yes
thats him
I think his truck will be there at 8 am

Even the book in the photo below has no answer to this. I've found that to switch off and ignore them when they start chuntering works best for me.

Not sure which is the easier to answer, that, or
"What is the meaning of life?"or "What is there beyond the Universe?"

She is checking that she has addressed them correctly and has stamps on them all.
Rational double check. Give her a break even if she is a lazy cow.
