Sadly Openreach "engineers" appear to be a bit of a russian roulette. You can get the engineer who truly understands the network he is working on and the things that might connect to it; then you get the others...
I once had a very interesting conversation with an openreach engineer about VoIP technology. I've also heard of one that visited a work colleague and made several unnecessary holes in the wall. You win some you lose some.
Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now.
How about a good fart to break the silence?

@petepjksolutionscomm Where's the CCC?

There was a tip in the approval queue where each code block looks like this:
<span style="color: #0000ff; ">Public</span>
I wrote a comment and the author replied meanwhile asking for help. So it will be hopefully fixed. [EDIT] Is fixed now.[/EDIT]
But there must have been at least five people who did not recognise this and approved

I saw that too (that is was approved) and message him / her. They responded that its is getting fixed.

I saw your message but thought that it would be better when he answers.
I was using the hidden forum of the initial version to correspond with the author and he got it solved finally.

I know your post (end even cited from it).

Have I ever accused a rep point hunter of being intelligent?

Sometimes I wonder if instinctive self-aggrandizement is not an innate feature of Homo Sap.
Is that reflected, in English, when we use the word "pay" with "attention to" ?

I just looked into the criteria to approve/disapprove the article and think found the root cause. I have raised the issue into the forum for tweaking.
cheers,

The three sons stand around the open grave, looking down at their father's casket, after the ceremony is finished. A gravedigger stands by holding a shovel, unsure if the sons will want to do the customary throwing of a handful of earth in final farewell.
The bereaved mother comes rushing up, to tell the sons that their father's last wish was that they should each put a one-hundred dollar bill in the grave. The sons are baffled by this, but, of course, they will respect the last wish.
The oldest son, an engineer, takes a one-hundred dollar bill out from his wallet and drops it in. The second, son, a doctor, does the same. The third son, a programmer, takes out a sheet of paper, writes on it, then drops that in the grave.
The rest of the family looks disturbed: "What did you just put in the grave," the mother asks in an irritated tone of voice. "Always had to be different, that one," said the engineer; "Why the hell didn't you put the money in ?," said the doctor.
The programmer, looking baffled by these questions, said: "I put in the formula for compound interest at the current rate, and gave him one-third of what the balance would be after two-hundred years, which is one-thousand dollars."
note: this is my own take on a very old story usually involving a doctor, engineer, and lawyer.

I was expecting that he put only a reference for the real dollar bill instance.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I was expecting the paper to be the "address" of where the money is located, passing the money by reference rather than by value...
Er, I can't think of a funny signature right now.

There was a fourth son - an accountant - who removed the bills and replaced them with a cheque for $400...

First thought was the third son put in a "bill" (invoice) for $100.

I've always heard that the third guy (lawyer) puts in a check for $300 and takes out the $200 cash.

I know this joke with the a cheque.

I'd ask to see the spec.
What's the deadline?
Can't I remove one of the other bills and then toss that one back in?
Once I have tossed in a bill can't I then remove it?
