Ok not as bright or long distance as the 10 mil, but amazing for it's power consuption. It's a fenlix L2T and worth every penny.
Just thought I'd give the girls an idea for a stocking filler for the lads.

Mind you Arkon
Fenix torches are made in China.
Maybe that explains it

"Yes there is...."
"No there ain't........."
"Oh perhaps he's gone for help...."
"But he hasn't been here yet, how does he know he needs help......."
"Cos theres water everywhere....
"No there isn't...."
"yes there is...."
"No there isn't....."
"How do you know......."
"COS WE LIVE THERE!!!!!!And we can see the road and its DRY"
Ten minutes later....
One man is wandering around in the street, in the dark, without a torch, looking for the leak........
Fifteen minutes.....
Now we have 5 trucks, 5 men, no torches, still dark, no water....and cos these houses don't have cold water tanks, I mean NO water for the forseeable future........which will probably be Monday, being Queensland.

All fine and dandy, except for one thing: we're on pay-as-you-go gas, for which we have a top-card. There is a meter, but it's not one that you can read - and even if you could, what would be the point?
So, on the appointed day, we read the latest BG card, have a quiet chuckle to ourselves, and bin it.
This happens regularly. BG have never contacted us about it, except to drop off yet another card - which we also ignore.

We use NPOWER, which is a dual fuel account.
They always give us estimated meter readings, which is really annoying as both the meters are on the outside of the f*****g house! Are they blind!
It wouldn't annoy me so much, but their estimates are normally twice what we use anyway!

You are beginning to sound a bit tired and oh so predictable
Don't you think you would be able to serve Australia better if you were to take a break....perhaps re-register under a different name?
Everyone can predict what you are going to post on any thread now and probably ignore you.
A shame really because I used to think that you had some style....
