Yes. I admit it. I'm a renegade. An outlaw. A rebel without a cause. I am pushing the boundaries that modern society lives by. I am a prophet, a new thing. I am a breath of fresh air and a vital force. I am living dangerously and on the edge and by my own rules. I smoke cigarettes from time to time. Several years ago I drank a home brewed beer before I should have. Sometimes I drive slightly over the speed limit. Once, for almost five years, I drove without a valid license. I have drag raced, driven while blind drunk, watched pornographic movies and used stationery items taken from the workplace for non-work related tasks. In the past, in my youth, I have taken drugs. Once, last year, I called in sick to work and I wasn't really.

And this is why Mikael Australia became the United kingdoms penal colony exactly for these Carl types , today they call themselves renegades and prophets, we just called them criminals and sentenced them to 10 years hard labour, as Mikael said Carl check your insurance policy, I will guarantee if you have a major damage caused by the system you just installed the insurance company will not pay out, in Europe or the UK you cannot even change a light socket unless you are an electrician, I'm a Carpenter by trade I could do many tasks but health and safety would string me up if they caught wind of it.

What about if I kill the insurance company, would that put it all to rest? I realise I'm taking a gamble, but I really don't think working out where to attach a black, green and red wire was rocket science. EVERYONE knows the red goes on the black and the green is left off altogether.

As an electrician I feel humbled and safe at the same time, humbled before your knowledge and safe for your well being! We don't have red anymore though, in electric cables, by the way.

Are you admitting to being human?

No. Perish the thought.

No red? What have I DONE?! Think of the CHILDREN!

I had a red. It was red. There was a green. I'm sure there was a green. There was a black. I'm sure there was a black. Was there a red? Now I'm thinking there was a blue too? OK. So. I matched the colours up. Like colour to like colour. Pink to pink, aubergine to aubergine, cobalt to cobalt. Does it matter? WHAT have I DONE!?

Mikael, feel like a [working] holiday to South Australia?

There was only 4????

I'm getting all confused now, I feel like going out there and taking off the cover and checking. There were three, red, black, green.

Well, that's the way in the southern hemisphere. Up here we put the black on the red, not the red on the black. Except in Sweden, where all the wires are the same color for purposes of social equanimity. The green is there to give you something calming to look at. It's outlawed in Sweden because they're already too calm anyway.
