Something is causing my circuit board to trip. I've isolated the problem to the sockets in the sitting room, and part of the kitchen but can't figure out what's causing it. I've unplugged everything but it will trip every time.

Mice.

It tripped at about 4 a.m. which rules out a specific appliance causing the issue. It wasn't raining here last night though so I don't think it was a leak.

Unless the dog decided to piss on something. He has form.

 

[ernesto]

You might get a whimpering/dead dog if he did

I think it's a socket in the kitchen. I have a guy coming to look. the same guy who "fixed" it last time but here in the sticks beggars can't be choosers.

Might be worth checking the wiring to those sockets

Yeah , it's got be dodgy. I don't know how to fix it so I'm getting a little man from the village in to have a look

ALWAYS GET A MAN IN

 

[therealjohnny]

The man let me down. Have to source another man.

 

[jonah]

does the man have to be little?

 

[jonah]

Do you ever get the feeling that someone in your line of vision/who sits near you at work is doing something specifically to get your attention? Like they take a book out of their bag and keep turning it over in their hands and kinda side eyeing you like they want you to go "oh wow what a great book"? I know its not a punishable offense by any means, but I'm in a bad mood and said person has been creeping me out a little in other ways, so I'm being an asshole and purposefully ignoring them

 

[therealjohnny]

does the man have to be little?

Only in social status and class

 

[jonah]

Also, same colleague keeps a big bag of snacks beside desk. No probs, snacks are grand. But its really disconcerting when someone snacks on a dry sliced pan, and kinda pulls it out in a "low key" way, slice by slice, like they don't want to share/anyone to see. Reminds me of that Dylan Moran sketch about irish people eating a bag of crisps out of their pocket.

 

[jonah]

might have been a sandwich out of their pocket in that sketch actually... even more relevant.

I’d offer but I have zero spare time until December

It might be just the fuse in the circuit board itself. Sure I've tried everything else at this stage..what could possibly go wrong?

Do you actually have a fuse board or a modern circuit-breaker board?

um...

probably the second one

Well then there are no fuses on the board. It’s just a circuit that keeps getting tripped and you’ve to reset it by pushing back up the switch?

Yeah that's it. It's the one for the wall sockets in the living room and kitchen. But it keeps tripping, even though I have unplugged everything. I thought i could check the circuit breaker itself but read it might be dangerous without a multi-meter as there could still be current in it if it's dodgy
