sorry to here that sammy what line of work are you looking for?

[sammy]

I was doing kitchen designing-but for a good firm where I didn't have to force old ladies to buy kitchens at "discount prices", The company thats taking over mine is exactly one of these which means I'd be sat in someones house for three hours squeezin money out of 'em-nah mate not for me!!

So I'm back on the market-seen a job with the forestry commission in aberdeenshire planting new forests and treating old ones for disease's. Looks interesting-and would be offroading every day at work-AND BEEN PAID!!

Just got to apply now-will have to get my wife to fill in application form 'cause I cant write-she write's all my threads, only joking!

Sam-the star!!

@ Laura,
I've got some teasers here for you to think about. See what you think of them.

Light bulbs

You are in the attic of a building. On the wall are three numbered light switches.
Down in the basement are three numbered light bulbs, each is connected to one switch. You don't know which switch is connected to which light. You do know that they are all off to start with.
You can do what you like with the switches, but once you leave the attic, the attic door will lock and you can't get back in.
The only place you can go to is the basement (three floors down).

Your mission Laura, should you decide to accept it, is to go down to the basement and determine which bulb is connected to which switch.

The son

A man is driving to his father's funeral when he is involved in a serious road accident. He is rushed to hospital and is lying on the operating table when the surgeon walks in, looks at him and exclaims "That's my son!".
How can this be ?

Fuses

You have in your possession two fuses; the classic burning kind used for detonating dynamite, and also a box of matches. Each fuse burns for exactly one hour but the burning process is completely erratic making it impossible to determine how much time is left simply by looking at the fuse.
Your task is to time exactly forty five minutes.
How do you do it?
