    Haven't watched the video until the end but I'm guessing at some point he rams the soldering iron up someone's arse.

    Read that as soldiering, and was thinking on the lines of the yanks being the second wave as usual.

    Was that supposed to be funny or summat cos that was one of the most boring 5 minutes of my life. I think I'll go down B&Q and buy a tin of paint, paint the bedroom walls and watch that dry. :mad:

    Thanks for the heads up, I think I'll save myself five minutes and not bother watching it.

    I've not worked there for about 10 years. Maybe I should have stuck around?

    Why on earth would you watch it to the end? It's a video teaching you how to solder. What did you expect to happen? The joke is in the way Americans pronounce solder and soldering. Personally, I find an instructional video teaching us how to sodder and do a bit of soddering quite funny, but if you don't, that's fine. However, to not spot that's where the funny is...

    Soddering is one thing but tinning your tip before you do it is just down right perverted

    I did need to learn how to solder. My electric guitar needs some work. All the Youtube videos I found were from Americans and their pronunciation made me laugh, so I thought I'd share.

    That's what I thought at first, but that's how all Americans pronounce it. They do like a good soddering.

    Because you say at some point he's gonna ram the solder up someone's arse. So I thought (wrongly) that it would be an entertaining thing to watch. In future please refrain from making such statements ... ;)

    I'm in heaven.

    It's like the election never happened. I'm staying in bed all day soldering ... no "soddering"
