Compressor Left On All Bloody Day

[Allan]

Hi fellows,
Here's a photo of my compressor.
I was playing with it in the garage this morning before choofing off for work and was stunned when I returned home at 5:30 to discover that I fhad forgotten to turn the bloody thing off and it had been chugging away from 8:30 am.  It was bloody hot and there was a smell of oil in the air, but the things mercifully hadn't caught fire.

Still, nothing non-flammable round there

Glad it was okay Alan, but you should have been okay, most have these things have a cut out to stop them burning out.

I found that out when I was using a compressor to run a piece of test equipment at work.  I'd been doing some laborious but very essential work all morning with the thing clattering away noisily.  I was going crazy & was desperate to find a way to quiten the damn thing, I found a cardboard box & covered it, knowing it'd get hot I cut some vents in it.  Wasn't enough, there was a pop & the damn thing stopped.  I crapped myself, the work was so important the boss'd have had my balls in a vice (he was a w*nker anyway) wether it was my fault or not.  I called a fitter, he came quick & luckily it was just a trip switch.  Close thing, that idiot boss would have loved an excuse to slap me down again!

Yep still cuts the mustard--had it chugging away earlier this evening

Wasn't brave enough  to fess up to the wife about leaving the damn thing turned on, though     best to leave sleeping dogs lie sometimes and pretend nothing happened

Too right, least said, soonest mended.

Now that's something only a Brit would say!
