A Handy Cooking Tip

[hellison]

When making a nice toasted sandwich for tea, do try to ensure that the lead for the radio is not *also* in the sandwich maker.

However if you really MUST add the piquant taste of burnt wire and rubber to your food, do ensure you know where the trip switch for your electricity is, and that you can find it in the dark.


Disaster? Moi? Surely not...

(and today had been going SO well ;p)

And while on the subject of Doing Clever Things with Electrical Wiring we offer this piece of astonishing advice: Do Notte Cut Electrical Wire Currently Plugged Into Socket With Scissors.

Take my word for it. Also, do hide the obviously cut wire and scissors woth burnmarks before you tell the janitor you have no idea why the power in the building went out because surely you Didn't Touch Nuffink, It Just Happened.

More advice

Do not come home from work for a spot of lunch, and ignore the fact that the kitchen is full of last night's dishes.
Do not bung cheap pizza in oven without checking that all the rings on the hob are at 0.
Do not stare dully at the glass lid (with plastic knob) that is lying on your hob over one of the rings
Do not go next door, slump in front of Oprah and have a ciggie

(stumbled back into kitchen to be greeted by smoke (noxious plastic smoke), flames, and bits of glass pinging off the wall)
