Sudden Blackouts
« on: 03 June 2008, 11:34:49 »
4 times in the past 2 weeks I've blacked out for a few seconds whilst driving my Omega.  The last time it happened the GF had to shake me to wake me up whilst the car was doing 65mph on a deserted dual carriageway.

Will changing the cambelt on my Omega and cleaning the breathers fix this?

It's a joke peoples...

No Albert.  I have always found when feeling dizzy, tired, or just plain ill, a 30 minute dash down the (desserted!) motorway, with all windows down, at 150 mph cleanes out all the passages and frees everything up for efficient, unboken action! ;D ;D :y

Talking about blackouts, my wife went for an interview the other day, was put in this room to do a test, and after 15 mins the lights went out, she stood up to try and find the door and the lights came back on.

Got one of those new fangled movement detectors in the room to save electricity. ;D

No, she didn't panic, got the job as well, promotion, and more money to keep me in the style I'm accustomed to, now that I'm retired ;D

We have these at work .. it's quite amusing to see folks at their desks suddenly start waving arms about to turn the lights back on !!  

For some reason it doesn't happen to my office ... wonder if it's because I attacked a little box in the corner with a screwdriver and turned a few screws ......   :)

Nah .. must be a coincidence .......   ;D ;D ;D ;D

They have them in the local public toilets round here, sit too long, and you are in the dark!! momentary panic!! how do you jump up and down to put the lights back on, when you're sat on the throne, with the underwear down round your ankles, I ask!!  :o :o
