Never trust an esteemed customer to build anything right.

Zeity nearly had a hearts attack just now.

His newly constructed boom box amplifier thingie, made out of 14 1W amplifiers built as part of an assignment, went boom.

Very Loudly.

Feckwhit customer had put a capacitor in back to front & it didn't like it much.

I'm ok now I've had a lie down.

I thought the War Criminal had snuck in & shot me again.

Is the esteemed customer a Diamond Geezer?

[Churchill]

Yup.

Pretty much like that really.

The "X" in the top ruptured.

It did make I jump.

I always wondered what that was for...

I suppose it makes them fail in a controlled manner.

[Churchill]

Yup.

It's a bit more controlled than having the can hurtling across the room.

Still made a bit of a bang though.

It was ok at 4V, but when I ramped it up to 11V it started taking 1.5A & then <bang>

The esteemed customer?
