bookzombieOkay, I was working from home yesterday morning and around 10am I decided to put on a pot of coffee.
I filtered some water and added it to the coffee machine. I added the coffee. I switched it on and went back to work.
A few minutes later I heard the cheerful sound of water dripping through.
A few minutes after that the electricity throughout the house went off as a fuse blew.
So, guys and gals, what did I do wrong?
That's right: I forgot to put the coffee jug under the machine so all the wonderfully flavoursome coffee was falling inside the machine.
Sometimes I am the dumbest bright guy I know...
