Sometimes the savings are made that are costly. Keep a compact microwave oven provided with an outlet Swiss ruin in adapters and / or turntable broke, instead of buying a new appliance, Chinese, Cheap (disposable?). But I am naturally rather stubborn. Invoke the lexical field of stubbornness and you can stick me in turn the adjectives of stubborn, stubborn, obstinate, willful, stubborn, pugnacious, etc.. Pugnacity particular allowed me to live my dream theater. But I digress from the East. Suppose we met and that you give me the dumbest offerings, well, I'll try to find a place in my tiny apartment. Some years ago, a boy came into my life and I helped him in one of his moves. "I do not know what to make of this elephantine microwave," he said . How the oven had traveled from Switzerland to land in this improbable cellar of the Paris region is a long story I'll spare you.
Taking advantage of a new move - mine, this time - I found the use of certain appliances including the oven. The problem, as there is a catch is that I had lost the necessary adapter socket. The Swiss do not just build beautiful and expensive watches, they also invented some funny catch. About the Swiss Army knife that has kindly engraved friend Jean-Luc - author of the ticket " she was beautiful, the old " - was used to uncork the first bottle to celebrate my new nest.
Party explore the vast and legendary basement of the BHV looking for an adapter, I returned with an armful of other things, petrol blue laces, buckles, Phillips screwdriver, Riveter hammer, screws and hooks. What was my puzzlement over the wall with hammers: all types, all prices, all designs. Which to choose? I did not still ask the seller "what's the difference between a hammer riveter and a claw hammer? "This temple tooling has not only inspired Pennac in writing his Au bonheur des ogres , it has long been a very long time the place of the Vagrancy lovers screw and rivet - and there I feel your twisted mind imagine things that virtue rejects papal (fuck the Pope!). It is not because the BHV is located in the ghetto of gay Paris that he must see gays everywhere. Quoiqueue.
Muni naive drawing of a Swiss, I approach a seller. He said: "Why do you not simply change the socket? " And then I sink into an abyss of perplexity. He insists. And I made a drawing (pictured above). Galvanized by his counsels childish, I imagine myself handyman Sunday, nay, the week of Thursday, four Thursdays. And accept the mission he entrusted to me.
Buy a plug 2P + white, a small Phillips screwdriver. Go home. Cut the cord microwave oven, look for the son of different colors. Insert them into my new purchase, the mains plug. Visser. Get ready to connect. And pray!
