Is my pekin bantam male or female?

[Jillus]

I am so mad with myself. I was having a very lazy afternoon as my other half is away sailing and I was watching an old repeat of Morse on the TV. While watching I just happened to notice that the wires looked like a bunch of demented spaghetti under the TV and DVD recorder so I set to, while still watching Morse, to untangle and generally tidy them all up. Well they look lovely but now I have no signal into the TV, everything is connected properly and just occasionally when fiddling with the wires I get a signal but very distorted. I never saw the end of Morse so no idea Who Dunnit and also I will have not have any TV until himself gets back from sailing tomorrow.

 

I am mad with myself

 

Right got that off my chest, back to beating the TV.

[Valkyrie]

Oh dear, I do sympathise, really I do. Anyway, the butler probably did it. Hope you manage to sort it out soon - just leave the computer bits alone!

I guess "worse things happen at sea" might not be quite apposite?

 

My sister was sailing up and down The Mersey yesterday on her yacht, lovely weather for it

 

Get out in the garden with a good book and make the most of the weather!

 

We were watcing Morse once and I said to Ian "I'd love to go to Oxford!" (meaning for a visit) and he said "Well, you'll need more A levels then!"

[Jillus]

Have been trying to thing logically about this so am about to disconnect the new DVD recorder, plug in the old one of I can work out where bits go and see if it works then. If not I suppose I can deduce that it must be the white co-ax cable from the wall that is faulty or could it be my plugging in. Oh for a man about the house Yesterday when we had terrific thunder storms I had water pouring through the kitchen roof and the night before had to endure a two hour power cut.

 

It's funny when you have a power cut, it always seems to affect my brain, the first thing I thought when the power went off and I could not watch TV was that I would get on with the ironing!

That would me me too!

[Helly Welly]

I would never dare touch the TV or any wires associated with the DVD recorder, freeview box, video, computer or hi-fi. I know my place

[Jillus]

I wish I had never touched it. I have tried all the logical things and nothing has worked, to top it all we had more torrential rain, it poured through the kitchen roof and a bit of our ceiling fell in!

If you can post up a picture, I might be able to help. With the wires!

Can you do plastering Fred?

[Geoid]

Can you do plastering Fred?

Yes, I plastered my wall the other day.

[Plum]

You better pop over to Fife and sort the wires and ceiling.

[Geoid]

*wonders where I put the polyfilla*

[Jillus]

Fred, that is so kind but I think the problem lies within the co-ax cable as it were, as I tried it on both the old and new digi boxes and both had no signal so I think the cable may have snapped inside if that sounds likely. I did ( getting instructions by phone from Captain Bligh) take the end off the co-ax and refitted it and it looked fine inside, at the junction bit, if you understand my non tech speak.

 

The plastering will be done by himself when he comes ashore!

[Jillus]

I have been out and bought a new cable from the wall to the TV and I have a signal and a better picture than ever on the terrestrial channels. Just got the kitchen ceiling to fix now and my life will be complete!

[jackiepoppies]

Well done Jillus
