    Isn't sauerkraut a bit erm, sulphurous?

      Yep, you just have to make sure there are no gaps between quilt and bed where the gas might escape.

        Dude, you were married to a young student nurse, and the best thing to keep the bed warm was this?

          I bought a few Apples earlier this year and they're all chuntering away in a rack in the cellar

          Girly mentioned the other day how mild it must be as this time last year we had the stove burning wood all day.

            Do apples 'chunter'?

            Blimey!

            You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                OK, I give in. I'm putting the heating on for a little while.

                Just to test it still works, you understand, and to see which radiators need bleeding.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  You big girl's blouse! The sun's out, it's lovely. I've had worse caravan holidays in August in Wales, therefore it's a good day for a barbie.

                  Fair enough, then. But no enjoying it.

                    bleeding a radiator I'd never have thought of doing that
