robmacca's "World of Weirdness"

It's a weird world we live in, or maybe it is just me that is weird. I thought I would do a spot of ironing today but was rather scared after I had filled the iron with water and then it began crackling and I thought it was about to blow up.
Robbie's Remedy: Pop on some black rubber gloves (to avoid electric shock) and carry on ironing !!

Monday Edit: It wasn't until I was discussing this at work today, that someone rightly pointed out that rubber gloves would not save me but would of made it worse by melting onto the iron. Instead rubber footwear would of saved me if the iron tried to electrocute me.
