For better service life, Change the wire up to the thermostat or meter to copper wire.
The one used in house wiring, it can carry much load without burning.
Sure that's what I did.

The wire in it was a joke.
Phones › Re: See What Power Outage Cost Me Today In Church by Elxandre(op):
I immediately tried using my wall socket extension to create space for my phone.

By this time, service had commenced and was fully in a vibrant atmosphere of praise and worship.

Determined not to get stuck with the troublesome situation of my phone chargers not finding breathing space, (after all what's fun on a Sunday without a hundred percent battery to cool off at home) I plugged in my wall socket extension, and then plugged in the extension box I met occupying the wall port to it.

I plugged in my phones with a deep sigh of relief, only to look up within moments and found the extension box wire spilt in two, decimated by heat. shocked

I was still wondering "what the hell" when a fair skinned lady prodded me on the shoulder and said, "what happened to my extension box?" sad

Me: "It got blown up huh Let me go get my extension at home"

I was feeling bad because several phones were connected to the Extension device, and this was my motivation for rushing back to my home which is just a stone-throw away.


I got back irritated by the troubles I had gone through already, and got my stufff plugged then settled into my seat for the next 1 hour 30 minutes.



At the end of the service, I was already getting set to pack up my stuff and head home, only for this lady to approach me again.
Lady: "What happened to my extension box?"
Me: it got blown up smiley

Lady: "You blew up my extension box"
Me: "I didn't, it just happened"

Lady: "Whats going to happen now?"
Me: "It's not my fault it got blown up"

Lady : "What's going to happen now"?
Me :"Okay, Are you going to take mine?"

Lady :"Better"

She took it off me and left me with her Burnt box which got burnt because it had wires as soft as thread in it's innards, as I didn't even plug a single thing to it.


Now, I just finished joining them back together, and I'm here wondering if it's in good order tonight for my next adventure as a "Public Charging Personnel"......

Phones › See What Power Outage Cost Me Today In Church by Elxandre(op): 5:43pm On May 29, 2016
I woke up this morning at 6:30am, and Immediately noted I had to make it to church by 7am on the dot to get a nice port to plug my Lumia 520 and the Galaxy S4 I had with me.
You know how we roll. wink

Now, before you start to think of me as an opportunist motivated only by "Phone charging" in church, you might want to know we have had zero watts of electricity for 80 days in my street, and with fuel prices no longer friendly, 'charging in public places ti take over' cheesy

I hurried into the church 5 minutes late, and immediately hurried to where the wall sockets are....... and I had some though calculations every persons accustomed to 'public charging' is familiar with; how do I create space for two plugs in the midst of several phones huh

see lamentations on top mourinho matter?
there is no way pep is going to achieve more than Jose in England in the years to come. yes I said it.....it seems the pessimistic stance of d united faithfuls here is what is actually giving the haters brain ejacula.tion ..m..

Jose is gonna disgrace pep in England and pep will find it hard to win a single epoch title
Where is all this Pep hype coming from?

He met a Bayern team that crushed the best team over this decade 7-0 on aggregate, and transformed them into romantic moroñs who got thrashed 5-0 on aggregate by Madrid in his first year.
Since then they've gotten eliminated by the La Liga other top two teams.

Don't forget that the Semi finals is quite easy to get this days, with only few European super powers firing on all cylinders right now.
Therefore he failed at Bayern!

Pep will try to implement his Tiki-taka in EPL, and it will take three years to get the system to a decent level !
But the catch here is the fact that you aren't guaranteed the league as it almost is in the Bundesliga.

If you can't get evil wingers, tiki-taka is almost a joke.

Maybe he will change his pattern/philosophy though.

I've never seen a useless, boring, vapid and yawn-inducing performance from any player more than what CR7 produced this night. Even IbrahimoLAZY had a better performance over both legs against Citeh than CR7. At a point out of anger at his carefree attitude I started wishing Athletico would win. If this sort of performance is what CR7 would giving in Euro, then I pity Portugal coz to me, he was the worst Madrid player on the pitch. I'm glad he won it though. Viva Madrid!!
Oga go and sleep!

Ronaldo wasn't even close to full fitness today.
Someone that had a hamstring just about three weeks ago, and has played a number of games since then.
He then had a knock two days ago, and you expect him to be flying around the pitch?

When Fergie tried playing Rooney, who was in world class form with painkillers, a week after a hamstring injury against Bayern in 2010, why did he suddenly post a subdued performance in the second leg?

Hamstring injuries take three weeks to a month to heal fully!

The truth is Ronaldo is just disturbingly too ambitious and mightn't be playing right now if he were another player.

The same guy that played through pains for months in 2008, and eventually had surgery after Euros then.

He done forget say he don dey old Sha. smiley

He is always injured in finals..we know. grin
lol
No doubt he was injured in 2008, 2014, 2016.

He played with injury for two months before the 2008 final, and had to undergo surgery at the end of the season after Euros.

2014, he could terribly unfit at the world cup with a knee injury which hadn't healed properly.

You don't possibly recover from an hamstring in a week as Ronaldo appeared to have done since getting injured a few weeks ago.

I only state facts!


Meanwhile I think elite modern players play too many games without rest.
The likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez play full minutes even when they should be subbed off due to fatigue.

Annoying!

They both have 3 each.
Messi: 2009, 2011, 2015
Ronaldo: 2008, 2014, 2016.

In 2006, Messi was not included in the team that won the Champions League then.
I think Messi got a medal in the 2006 win even though he didn't play.

Flashh:
Yes, Atletico played better, even overall tournament. Ronaldo was just lucky to win it. He was never in the match for 100+ minutes.
Ronaldo was clearly unfit.

He's just a stubborn person, else he wouldn't even have played.

He's had injuries for the past few weeks, and even two days ago.

I quite agree that the zapping rate is an issue. What's the code for the normal Airtel plan?

I actually bought 5GB from a Nairaland data seller, sometime back. It didn't last up to 2wks!

I have heard good things about them too. They should keep it up. We need to be getting the best value for our patronage

Sorry about that. Glad you found a solution. Albeit from an alternative source. At least you learnt a lesson.

For me I dare not recharge my MTN line again. I only use it to receive calls. That was a lesson I learnt

No, I didn't do anything. I think the plan is all encompassing.

It even works on PC
that bb plan zaps at twice the rate, so you actually have 1.5gb instead of 3gb.
1.5gb is now 1k on airtel normal plan

What's all this stupid talk about Di Maria real position?
His real position has always been a wing role! He was only used as a makeshift box-box CM for just 6 months!
And He's not cut for a box-box role in an average central midfield like ours.
Simple as ABC.
You always beat around the bush!

I'm not a coach, but I was certain Di Maria wasn't always spectacular on the wings.
He's worth £60m in the middle, but on the wings.... Mostly frustrating.

If it was known that he played best in the midfield, why did United buy him and not make revamping the midfield to support him a priority?

It's not nice always arguing to win..... Makes one look sillyy.

SailorXY:
We missed out on Pep & Ancelotti sadly, perhaps waiting for LvG to improve results. I would have preferred one of them - Pep especially but what other options are there now?
Pep would have used 3 years to get to a start at United.

Don't forget he met a devastating squad at Bayern, and he arguably left them a bit worse off as they could no longer beat any of La Liga's top three.

For now, Pep's tactical skills might still be overrated.

This madness has to stop!
Our youths no longer have any modicum of rationality left in them.

Must every thing be about PDP vs APC?

The writer of this lopsided article is just as guilty of sentimental analysis as the average man on the streets in this Buhari era.

You never bothered to decipher why people doubted the story before making up this lengthy post.

I showed my brother the picture of the said Amina compared to get passport photograph, and the first thing he said is "they aren't the same persons".
Or do you expect people to easily believe she was a chibok girl indeed, when her supposed captor wasn't put in handcuffs unlike Yinusa (Ese's husband), who was treated inhumanly despite committing a crime of far lesser levity?

Now despite that, I still like to believe she was indeed rescued.


Mr writer, we humans aren't supposed to be gullible, and will only believe what we are convinced is true and unquestionable.

Americans are one of the most anti-partisan citizens on earth.
They listen to debates before electing and don't really care if you are a Republican or Democrat, yet many of these patriotic Americans still believe 9/11 terrorist attacks was planned by George bush to test America's warfare capabilities and you think Nigerians disbelief the government because they are PDP loyalists?

By the way you political bigot, I'm non partisan. Not everyone has had their brains eaten deeply by sectionalism so as not to question anything disbursed by entities we adore, only sheep do.

I dont want to be a prophet of doom all the time. But I can already tell you there is something wrong with the rumored Zlatan deal

Zlatan is going to earn a lot, has a huge ego, Wont take a bench role, he is lazy as fucckk, He doesnt believe he has to run as others.

I also think James might not be great because if Mourinho hates Mata because he is lazy, had to play an extra midfielder to accomodate Mata's lack of marking and preferred Oscar, How is James much different from Mata? How much longer are you going to be fleeced by Perez for a player he doesn't want anymore. Or is Jorge Mendes just opening shop on y'all to sell all his overpriced players and he makes his own commission?
I don't like the Zlatan deal too.
Absolutely unneeded.

Lol!
Santon had fewer game time under Mourinho than he did under the previous manager and he was binned off on laon to serie B the following season. Same with Ballotelli who started more games under the previous manager.
Also, Pepe and Ramos were the first choice defenders no matter how poor Pepe often looked under him. Varane only started games when one was injured or suspended or in cup games where the opposition were segunda's teams.
Also, there was no way he would have played Cech. Cech was already highly rated as one of the best keeper in Ligue 1, and he just had a storming performance at the 'O4 Euros and was named in the all star team of the tournament.
Also, it wasn't like Cech was a teenager.
Get your facts right.

Mou played Varane over Pepe even when he was fit.

Mou once said, "I know Pepe's problem, his name is Varane".
Varane was spectacular then.

You mean Balotelli started more matches under Mancini?.

That's not true.

He had more appearances under Mou.
