Had this 15? Years, but the door plastic surround fell off last year, so bought new microwave (on the floor). The old glass is stood in front of old microwave, and of course there's the inner door as well.

Iv been told should skip it, maybe it's poisoning us, what du think - seems shame to throw it

I have a meter to test microwave leaks , tried it out on our new microwave in the office and it leaked ! Cheap unit but you'd think it wouldn't leak from new.

OMG must be a day for microwaves failures!

Came home for lunch today and figured id have yesterday chinese...

2mins later stirred and put it back in for a 30 second but this time i also put the plastic pot of sweet n sour sauce... Buzz buzz boom! I leg it out the room and slowly come back in and flick the power at the plug.

I finished my lunch without sauce and phoned the wife to say don't use the microwave As its blown up and ill bin it later.

She replies. Oh its been buzzing with bright lights inside for a few days! WTF

Apparently an easy test is to stuff your netbook in it and see if you can ping it...

I think you should take more care when using photobucket in future.

dpb

How?

Mouser

There are several pictures other than the microwave, I would remove the link if I were you.

Nothing interesting in the photobucket account, though.

dpb

Well I'm sorry

Turbohot

Don't worry. There was a picture of a socket and some meaningless urban buildings. No big deal, so chill.

I did look for your picture in James Bond stylee , as it's a shame that you iz my internet mate, and I don't even know what you look like. What if you are a fugly, hm?

Only joking, so don't bite my head off, ok?

PS: I did look for your picture, though.

There's one girlfriend on the barge but you can hardly see her,

I can't work that site now, it used to be easier

Turbohot

But I know your girlfriend, she's cool! You have posted a pic of her on the barge here before, Duncan. However, what you do is that you click on the link at the bottom of the Photobucket page where it says "view full website". Then you go into your albums to select a pic. Then click on the image link (it gives you 4 options, I think) option, and bingo. Then you can paste that link here with [img] and [/img] on the head and tail of the link. Try it next time.

Actually, the power had gone, again

Turbohot

Is that really you, Duncan? if yes, thanks, man. You look good!

And yes, get that tea going, no slacking.

dpb

I bought microwave actually for perspective sister in law, cos this happens, a lot

Turbohot

Oh, right! Will she put the microwave on top of that fire to power it? I mean, if there is leccy power cut 'a lot', how will she work it when she needs to?

dpb

Here she is now, posing with her 'western figure'- unafrican , and some clothes we brought her

Turbohot

She looks glam, Duncan. A bit like Mrs. Obama. Tell her for me that she's looking good.

dpb

Power is quite erratic back in Bulawayo, mostly when you wouldn't want it. ( thus saving power company cash)
They are still harrassing people for money from time of change over to dollar.

Actually we were cooking nshima together with chawawa.

Some kapenta, on good days

Turbohot

Nice.


This power cut business is same in India, too. I was on phone with my brother due to Raksha Bandhan yesterday (They rang, shame I had no idea. My feeling of guilt is unbearable), and got told that monsoon has disrupted everything there. To be honest, Monsoon is no excuse. Power cut is an everlasting problem there regardless. My mummy needs constant A/C now due to her old age and health issues, but hey, welcome to India- the country of appalling drought, relentless rain and ruthless power cuts- all in one. Amazing.
