    I meant drain the CH it to the point where there is no water coming out, then slap the chemical metal on and leave to set, then refil the CH. Worst case scenario you lose half a day mucking about without CH.

      Er, it hasn't worked since about March.

      And sadly, the leak is buried somewhere in the brickwork.

          I'm sooooo bored I'm making up an order for batteries.

          And I'm feeling pretty about that.

            Caught part of one of those Consumer Protection type programs last night.

            Aside from the bloke who decided it was a good idea to give out all his card details over the phone, and then stick his cards in an envelope and give them to some bloke in a taxi; there was an interesting bit on what happens to counterfeit LiIon batteries when they get too hot.

            Some of it was really quite spectacular, and a little worrying.

              Hm, browser weirdness at Client Co.

              Google searches via IE result in "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" while Chrome works fine.

              Everything else works, just cant get to Google for searches.

                Indeed.

                And some of the not so counterfeit ones are just as bad.

                Don't get me started on chinese copies of electrolytic capacitors.

                  Much scaffolding work going on out the back. I don't know who sent these roofers, but they seem to be intent on working their way through the entire neighbourhood

                      Are they repairing the roofs or stealing the slates?
