Are you going to be there the whole time they're working? Because electricians rewiring an apartment is the PERFECT cover for ILM goons to steal all of your stuff! ;-)
But seriously, is it like a fire hazard or something? I've never heard of anything on this scale happening to somewhere while someone is living there.

Good luck Ady, is the council putting you up somewhere while the works being done?
Yeh, i don't really want to leave a load of workmen in my flat on their own. I just don't trust them, never have. But they won't put anyone up in another place while they are doing it. It's all thanks to the bloody EU directives and the health and safety regulations they imposed to council & housing association properties. Because the wiring is over 30 years old all the houses around here are having to be rewired.

I guess this is good and bad news, then. I hope they give you a decent amount of money to make repairs and whatnot afterwards.
I've been told today that it's likely to be around a £50 grant at the most depending upon how many rooms they have to channel into the walls for the wiring. So f**k all really.

I note Ady you are also a Doctor Who fan so it would be a great chance to catch up on some Big Finish audios before the new series starts.
I've got tonnes of them loaded up on my prehistoric iRiver for just that sort of emergency (like when Scottish Water put an axe through a water main and only spotted the error after it had flooded the electrical substation down the hill, it was candles and time travel under a duvet for a few days and a mad rush to eat all the ice-cream before it melted).
I'm not a big fan of the Big Finish audios or audio books/ plays in general. I'm more of a visual person. I think that the only audio dramas i've ever been able to listen to all the way through are the Star Wars radio plays, which i've listened to countless times. Can't wait for the new series of Doctor Who to start on April 3rd. And I've got the Star Wars concert the day before so a good Easter weekend for me :)

Adywan, would it be possible to 'blacken out' the little bit of Anthony Daniel's arm that shows through his C3PO costume during the shot where he says "If I may say so Sir, I noticed earlier the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed." -
ImperialFighter, i have looked at the shot you mentioned and cannot see any of Anthony Daniels arm showing. can you point to the section you mean?
EDIT: yeh, i've noticed the bullets missing but adding them would be very difficult to do
