They party all night because they are yoof, despite what they consume.
Just like we used to do on cheap cider and Party 7s, remember?

You mean that there was "expensive " cider?

please dont mention Party 7's, this is supposed to be a civilised NG

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Of course ther was. The softer girls drank Woodpecker. Natch was the
base minimum for the rest of us, and farm scrumpy if we could get it (it
usually meant we couldn't get it later though).

please dont mention P**** 7's, this is supposed to be a civilised NG

Deepest apologies. Double Diamond, anyone?

Hmm. Slept through the campaign, did we? ;-)

I made a clip up with some copper pipe hammered to form tweezers,
and a plastic clothespeg, and attached leads & banana plugs to
it so I can easily measure 0603 Rs and Cs.

You can do a similar DVM jig for leaded resistors by
soldering a couple of paper clips to 4mm terminal pins.

It seems that the 0402 is too small for printing any numbers for
value.
And i have yet to see chip caps that have any markings.
However, 0805 and larger chip resistors have decent markings: 2002 =
200*10^2 ohms 1%, 1R00 = 1 ohm 1%, 1654 = 165*10^4 ohms or 1.65 megs 1%,
etc; if only 3 digits then it is 5%.
In all cases the multiplier is the last digit.

about half of my 0603 R's are so marked. about half have cryptic drivel.

The cap thing is a nuisance, but at least different dielectrics are
(usually) different colours.

The way I see it, it doesn't make any sense for a manufacturer of little
teeny tiny components that come on a tape and get stuffed by machine, to
spend money painting markings on them that will never get looked at in
99.999% of the cases.

Cheers!
