A question about the primary side of the output transformer.

Izzy is so funny. I suppose you've seen this classic "Death Star Canteen" skit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv5iEK-IEzw

I don't remember if I've seen that one or not. I watch a lot of comedy. My poot and TV are in the same room and the wife is watching the 'tele' at the moment. And my headphones are down right now because of an unfortunate vacuum cleaner incident (I'm told). So I can't watch it just yet, but I will.

EDIT: The wife stepped out to check if the potatoes were done so I ran the video. I'm still laughing

I remember some farcical British movie years ago. Some police inspector was tracking down a crime or something. He has a very proppah accent. He arrives at the door of some Cockney woman with her exaggerated accent. "Oy guvnah, wott can I do for ya?" Meanwhile she has a couple small kids in her arms, and apparently a couple dozen more behind her in the flat. all running around and screaming. She is yelling back at them and trying to talk to the inspector. Finally she said, "Sorry for the 'iatus" (hiatus) "The what?" "'iatus" "Madame, so do I."

Bryson wrote a number of interesting books. Gets my vote too.

Bill Bryson, "The Mother Tongue: English And How It Got That Way"

Thanks RG. I'm a big Bryson fan. I think I've read everything Bill's written. The Mother Tongue has just been added to my list. I just received my Jack Darr book today, so it'll be a challenge to see which one I read first.
