Physics Homework help...

Posted by: seagull on 22 February 2004

Seagull Junior has got some physics homework to do, unfortunately he hasn't got his text book at home.

He needs to know what the value of restistors are from the coloured bands.

Its over 20 years since I last looked at any with a view to using them and cannot remember what the colours mean...

For the sake of family harmony please help

Father: Have you got any homework this half term?

Son: [I'd better say no or heEee the Grumpy Old Git will put a real dampener on my whole week off that I've been looking forward to for ages by making me do it before I can even eat me tea] No Dad.

Father: [Rather surprised] Are you sure?

Son: Of course I'm sure, check my homework diary if you want [conveniently not filled in this week cos it's HT]

Father: I'll take your word for it [I'm knackered and I want to watch East enders]

Nine days later

Son: [I'd best get this physics HW done or I'll be in detention tomorrow night.... .... Oh shit, I left my text book in my locker Red Face Now what am I gonna do???!] Frown Daaaaaaad!...

Father: Wassup son?

Son: Etc etc, soz Dad I know but... etc etc, could you...? etc.

Father: [Thank god I post on the Naim Forum, an oracle of free advice on anything and everything legal, illegal, medical and vaguely knowledgeable in the sanely Padded Cell Smile ]

....

Dad: [Result, I knew my hi-fi obsession would have its merits somewhere in our family life. Smile ]



Regards,

Steve.
