what happend to victor ive not seen no posts for ages from him last i read was when he started work as a security with his wind up torch i enjoyed reading a lot of his posts and his videos if your out there keep in touch vic
Yes! I`m doing a lof of heavy shifts,but for the next 2 weeks im on day shifts from 8am-6pm. These are easy hours for me. I`m currently looking after an old folks home that has just been built from scratch and I`m helping the council workers with the move...
It`s an ok job for now and i`m enjoying it!! sometimes I do 36 hour shifts and take clothes and food with me!!
AND THE FREEPLAY RADIO AND TORCH!! lol I have to have decent freeplay stuff as batteries would run out and the freeplay just keep on working!!
I`ll post more in the near future!!

It's interesting but not cheap. I've read that some people use thermos flasks to keep water hot for teas and coffees for a few hours. Granted it's not as eco sexy but then you're not having to pay out for a new kettle when you existing one still works and you're saving on all the energy that it takes to make one of these things and get it to you. I do really like the idea though - good lateral thinking by someone.
Del, At work we have a tea urn. Over the past week I have been watching the use of it and when they use it.
They tend to leave the urn on all night without switching it off in the porta-cabin.
In a factory enviroment I have seen these little kettle things work really well and save a lot of money. I have also seen ones theat blast UV light at the water to kill dacteria.....
For the likes of me I think the kettle is a good idea because I tend to switch my kettle on and walk away!! 10 mins later I then go back into the kitchen to use the water!! I forget I had boiled it LOL
Basically what I can do with this kettle is really use it when i`m standing there! I put the cup under it with coffe and sugar and thats really it!!
I`m forgetfull sometimes! I think this kettle thing will work better for me instead of reboiling kettles that i had forgotten it had switched on.....
I see argos is doing it £10 cheap up till xmas,but i`ll still look around for a good price for the same sort of thing.
wheres vic
