How on earth did you find this 4-year-old thread? Were you searching the web for radiators?



Consecutive post fun!

I did a forum search for "central heating". No point starting a thread if one has already been started.

Blinking 4 degrees overnight is forecast for Luton.

Has my wife been sleeping with yours again! I've told her not to do it for free!

No, still got to clean/service mine. It's like being a vet having to deal with with a very sharp, hard and sooty cow.

Beer could get expensive though, being 99.9% tax. Seal blubber is far cheaper. In the Antarctic anyway

Yeah, but is Seal Blubber Beer any good?

[TimberWolf]

Quite right too. We're not made of money, plus a beer offers some heating without the expense.

While on holiday I was reading "South" by Ernest Shackleton, on my iPod. A free download I got from somewhere. It was quite an absorbing and immersive account of an expedition to Antarctica that went wrong at the start and turned into an epic escape story. It took priority over other films (including some episodes of Bablyon 5) that I had also downloaded. Wow, those guys survived cold. Bitter cold. Cold and wet. And looking at pictures of them, their clothes didn't look up to much. You reminded me of it. I've often thought eating warms you up, or by corollary, not eating makes you more susceptible to cold. Both of which I've also noticed, but obviously not to an extreme degree. He says the same in his books. Almost as soon as they stopped eating, they felt the cold.

Yes I heard you suffer from beer related flatulence!

I going to try to get through winter without using heating again. But I'll wear warmer clothes this year.

Suityou02 was ok with it, it was your missus who kept compaining.

Suityou had mentioned he'd had an electric blanket a while back but had to get rid of it as he kept shocking his wife!

You should get SMS heating control. It’s bwilliant; you send an SMS to your central heating with an instruction like ´unfl on 21´ and it switches on the underfloor heating to raise the temp to 21 degrees. Get indoors with cold feet on a chilly day and your feet get toasty and warm on the kitchen tiles.

'tltseat on 21'
