Toaster Repair

[Anonymous]

I took my toaster in for repairs to a certain 'Repair Place' only to have it
returned after three weeks in worse condition than when it went in.
The repairers name was Phil. When I took it back, his boss called him out
from the back of the shop and gave him a good bollocking.
'You useless turd' the boss shouted at him, 'Allison, I'm tired of your non
existent technical ability, I will have to fire you'.
He chased that useless tech back to the little grimy spot where he hid and
carried out his useless work.
So now I have purchased a new toaster.

As much as your attempt at humour is appreciated you really need to get
facts correct IF you are discussing our very own resident Toaster Tech.

1) Philthy does NOT have a boss (he is un-employable)
2) He runs (ha!) his own small hobby business from home.
3) A three week turn around is unheard of accomplishment for this guy
(23hrs/day surfing the net)
4) After Philthy left Uni (and that's a story in itself) he was employed by
the mob that repaired Flame Linears and he was allegedly dismissed for
"upsetting" customers and that was 30 years ago.

Please keep up the good work as we all need a laugh ;-)

Actually, that's not altogether surprising. Quite normal for engineers.

No wait, that would only be unsurprising if he actually *were* an engineer.

He cun spels like an enjuneer though.

Philthy has *NO* qualifications at all. Not even a driver's licence!

No wait, that would only be unsurprising if he actually *were* an
engineer.

He parted company with Sydney U after 2 years of an enjunearing (sic)
course.

He cun spels like an enjuneer though.

Ask him if you like, he is smarter than injunhears and should have been a
Nobel Laureate)

Apparently he was using a VHS recorder manual to try and fix the toaster,
and spent the 3 weeks watching McGiver videos with it.

Did you even bother to look at the relative economics of repairing a
broken toaster versus just buying a new one?

Does anyone actually repair toasters commercially these days?

Believe it or not I actually turned down a job a couple of years back, where
one part of the job was actually *designing* toasters! (yes, right here in
Sydney).
I don't think I could have held my head up in aus.electronics being known as
the chief toaster designer!!
Actually, it was a pretty cool toaster, temperature controlled plates meant
the toast could never burn. A perfect light brown every time. No idea if
they ever got it to market.

And of course, the classic YouTube video must get an airing:

It's not clear that controlling the temperature of the plates prevents
burning.

I'm still waiting for a toaster that does what I thought (naively) my
first ever "electronic" toaster did, which was to watch the colour of
the bread as it changed.

And of course, the classic YouTube video must get an airing:

They guy who runs the company and owns a patent on some aspect of this
recons that it does in trials they have done.
He said you can leave the bread in there as long as you want, provided it
follows the right temperature profile it will never burn.

IIRC the toaster I use claims to watch the colour of the bread. It doesn't work
well.

Furnulum pani nolo.

BTW Philthy also claims to be fluent in Latin. Something
else the Marist Bros. drilled into him ;-)

For those interested in more Latin humour

For those that just want to know what it means

I don't want a toaster.


Cheers TT )

 

[mark krawczuk]

yeah , they drilled it into him PHYSICALLY , as well as mentally..!!!!!!

That is very obvious and explains a lot of his tendencies
