My missus turns the thermostat up in the boiler, so the house is never any warmer but the water from the taps is scalding.Comment

From last winters post about the same subject:

A picture of a carvan in Bognor with a plate of tripe at the maximum markerScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I'm sure this is a typical woman thing.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Being a bloke, I clearly understand the point about thermostats etc, however, answer me this:
Got in the car on the way home tonight...weather freezing, around zero degrees. Turn the temp on the car to about 22 degrees and hit the "auto" button on the climate control and guess what happened? Yep, fan goes to full speed and blasts freezing cold air into car for first few miles.
So are cars secretly women? Is that why mine is so tempromental once a month?

The other mystery is why in winter, 20 degrees is too cold, yet in summer (when we're somewhere with air conditioning), 20 degrees is too hot.Comment
