Specialist in this context means "No, I don't do cookers, mate"

Do you know many aerial installers that do??? No - Don't answer that! ;)

Never buy a Friday afternoon aerial from you then eh?



I get even worse on Saturday, and on Sunday I'm just atrocious!


So how do you recover for Monday then?

No, but conversely I'm sure there are sparkies who think they can install
aerials.

We'll draw a veil over Monday, shall we?

BTW Bill, how can an aerial rigger specialise in BOTH domestic and
commercial aerial systems. Surely you'd be a specialist rigger if you
specialised on one or the other or something specific, like 101 ways to
clip a length of CT100 to a pole.... or are you a specialist because you
actually know what you're doing?!


It's a laugh really, the way people use the word 'specialist'. Like me you must
have followed these scruffy vans down the road and marvelled at the very wide
range of trades in which the owners claims to be 'specialists'. Sometimes the
claim is of specialist knowledge over an almost unlimited range of activities:
'Specialists in all aspects of construction.'
'Specialists in plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical installation,
lightning protection and building maintenance.' They should add 'Your DIY
attempts laughed at' and 'Prognostications of doom'.
I think the word 'specialist' has become so debased in the commercial sphere as
to be virtually meaningless. I use it in an attempt to convey the general idea
that our range of activities is limited, but what we do we do well, but I don't
think the word really gets that message across.

if it was a TUCT20 then the correct setting is 4:3 for a non-widescreen
telly (you don't ever need to change it), but there's a bug in it in 4:3
mode which displays the aspect ratio wrongly. (Everything is stretched a
bit horizontally making people look fat).

If everything was stretched vertically you must have got it set to 16:9.


Ah! I thought there was something funny happening! I tried 4:3 and it looked
awful. Maybe the telly was already stretching things horizontally and the bug
made things much worse.
