Got the chappie at Halfords to do mine. Took him ages, and looked like a right old mission. Glad I didn't attempt it myself. -

Frozen condensate pipe?
Mine loses pressure in the radiators.
Really wonderful.
Heating the whole house (well warming it up a bit) with the pongy gas fire thingie.
I don't like the smell it makes but the CO monitor implies that it's just pongy, not gassing me.Comment

Back from the pub
I was the last (paying) person in there by five past eleven, but the barman's girlfriend had turned up and I'd let him use my "One yourself?" to buy her and him both a drink, so he wasn't in a rush to kick me out as they went off to theback yardbeer garden for a smoke
Once I'd finished my pint and started heading home, I could tell that my knee was still a bit unhappy with the situation, but due to alcohol-related bamboozlement I wasn't certain exactly how discombobulated it was. I decided that if a cab for hire turned up before I got to the river (~halfway home), I'd hail it, otherwise I'd assume I could make it the rest of the way. And lo! a cab appeared just after that, so I hailed it.
Then the cabbie explained that he was taking "this lady" (a hitherto-unseen passenger in the back) to the Royal Infirmary (about fifty yards away) so if I got in the front, he'd take me home after that.
Fine thought I, and climbed in. We turned into the Royal. (Seriously, it's right there, we were at the entrance from that direction.) And immediately got stuck behind three or four ambulances.
Eventually a paramedic from the one in front of us came back: "Sorry me duck, but there's these in front and we can't get through that gap."
So we reversed until we could get out of the Royal, and went to the next entrance a hundred yards or so away… where we had to let the same ambulances past as the blockage cleared
Anyway, we finally dropped "this lady" off and I got a cab home. I think I would have been home at about the same time if I'd walked it, so maybe that was the gods' way of reminding me that I might use the conveniences of civilisation to ease my passage, but I can't actually save time, for all days are numbered

It's been making noises for a while. I should have got it seen to.Originally posted by zeitghost View Post
Our electric heater got taken to Birmingham by ms#4, so it's jumpers all round at the moment.
I think it's probably the fan - it seems to go every couple of years - I think where it is, the wind blows in the flue and makes the fan work harder. ms#3 now working for a plumber, so will hopefully get a free (and speedy) fix.
On the plus side, I didn't get woken at 5am when the heating kicked in
Just got up - supposed to have my car at the garage for 8 - gonna have to get a move on...Comment
