Steerpike said:Circlotron, you are probably buying northern hemisphere 27k resistors, which is why the won't behave. Sometimes putting them in 'the other way round' helps.
****!
Got some "far east" resistors, and have already thrown away half of them...

Oh, boy have I screwed things up using a 22k where a 33k was specified.
At my advanced age I have found that when I take my glasses off I can read the little squiggles on the CMF55 and RN55's a bit better.
Story heard on the radio today -- a gal was arrested for DUI in the Midwest with a BAC about double the legal limit -- she argued with the arresting officer that she was fine driving as she kept one eye closed to avoid seeing double.
I hear that the electrons in Aussie and Kiwi-land resistors go counter-clockwise, much as the water in the poop-shooter down under.

If you have to use 27k, always use a resistor series with clear text numbers printed on them, not colour codes.
