Hi All,
Walking to work I walked past a big building site which has closed the pavement one side so I cross over to the other side a walk past the wooden sheets used as barriers, some one had done some not unattractive graffiti on them, fine it's city (Bristol by the way) one of the panels must have needed replacing as it was the standard battle ship grey with some graffiti sprayed on it "bourgour nonsense" with an arrow to the previous design. Lead me to think that very act is a definition of Bourgeois Nonsense, as it spelt wrong and a lack of a capital B, so who is the most bourgeois the badly taught graffiti artist (who can't spell), the graffiti artist who is talented (not my taste, though) or me for seeing it and going "oh dear the youth of today day"

You are on a slippery slope, my friend.
Just wait, today it is "missing capital letter" and "bad spelling". Tomorrow it's "Grocer's Apostrophe" laughing at "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss and fury at misused semicolons. Then all that is left is a trip to the balaclava shop before you join the Militant Wing of the Apostrophe Protection Society.
Welcome Aboard!

It was not the spelling or punctuation the very act of spraying "Bourgeois Nonsense" is Bourgeois Nonsense is it not ?
|
|

|

Ah, but spelling it wrong could be a deliberate ironic statement that nullifies the bourgeois element.
Or he could just be a d*ck.
|

I am quite sure of your second statement, less sure of your first!

I run an APS terrorist cell. We raided a Waterstones bookshop demanding they search for the elusive ' they are officially dropping from their brand name.
For every apostrophe that is lost, there is a landfill site where they are stored pending recycling.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I thought Bristol was Hipster Central UK rather than Bourgeois Utopia. My bad.

Okay, but "I did say if I can see it" in my defence I have had to review the company policy of Leaded vs Non Leaded solder so instead of led I typed lead.

But the WEEE & RoHS European directive on the abolition of Leaded Solder came into force on 1st Jan 2006 banning the use of leaded solder throughout the whole EU. If you are still using leaded solder, your company could be up for some serious fines (or a nasty letter in extreme cases). I even went lead free at home in 2002!

Ah, we do (mostly) work for the States where its not applicable, also I was under the impression that the aero industry & military were exempt as lead free solder can fracture under shock loads (leading to bit floating around that can cause shorts)and creeps under high temperature...

It's possible - any industry that uses depleted uranium isn't going to be over worried by a little lead poisoning!

Up to this point I thought it was soldiers you were discussing and I had got quite confused. Early lunch me thinks.

You can still buy lead solder from UK suppliers[^] - I buy it because the non-lead stuff is crap!

It's a bit harder to work with - it needs a higher temperature, which can cause problems - and it doesn't mix with existing leaded solder for "touch up" jobs, and it wears through tips a lot faster. But once you are used to it, it's pretty good if you buy the "good stuff" instead of the cheap rubbish.
