Re: microwaves are killers
Jape,
Jeez, what a fright! Hope you are all right. Any idea what caused it to self-immolate? Were you using it at the time?
To put this marginally on topic, what are the chances the microwave was NOT made in China? Close to zero. And possibly made by a company that also makes motorcycles.
Suggest you sleep with the windows open tonight!
cheers
Re: microwaves are killers
Yup, Chinese made.
I was just warming up some vanilla water in it on a which I do weekly to clear the curry and other smells from it because my kitchen is a side part of a larger lounge room. Yeah, quite a shock as the thing is only slightly marked, small bulges and cracks inside the casing and some slight smoke marks. That would have taken the forensic police a good while to work out when my decomposing body was found in weeks to come ...
Whatever the fumes were knocked me right from drowsy to only just able to crawl across the floor in at most two minutes which was all it was set for. :confused1:
So if anyone ever wants to get rid of the missus I can supply brand-name and instructions ...
I have a headache, so it had an affect, but all doors and windows are open and I have been for a walk. Sorry guys, better luck next time! I don't really think it was conspiracy and set off by remote though!
Re: microwaves are killers
not related to China, but but definitely an adventure.
So Jape, welcome back, what did you see on the other side?
Re: microwaves are killers
no angels or houris for me, just fire and brimstone as expected!
Re: microwaves are killers
jape, the tech in your house has become sentient and is out to get you.
Glad you are okay
Re: microwaves are killers
Yeah, you are right - Pirates of the Caribbean was meant to be on channel 63 and instead it is showing a demonic possession on 'Unsolved Mysteries' ... the bathroom light bulb blew and the pilot light on the gas water heater went out all on its own but no wind tonight ... time to get off this computer in case it bites me. Tomorrow I will get the Holy WD40 Spray out and address the issue, hopefully I will get through the night OK.
