Reply to: Men and thermostats

[Peoplesoft bloke]

OK I'll fess up to some thermostat stupidity, althouth whether it was mine or the thermostat's is debatable...... So I turned the dial to "all day"......
Turned out that "all day" meant 6am to 6pm

On all the CH controllers I have ever had all day meant from first programmed on to last off, and unless you have one of those fancy new ones, you're talking about the controller/timer not the thermostat

I recommend the Heatmiser to all men out there.

For a start, the screen colour is Playstation blue. In addition to this, you can program it to have different temp settings for different times. When the Mrs turns the heat up it will revert back to the 'man' settings at the next interval.

Working away from home a couple of years ago, I wanted to set the heating in my rented flat to be on all the time, as it was a cold spell in January. So I turned the dial to "all day".

After several days of waking up at 4 am with my teeth chattering, and wondering why the heating was off, I noticed another setting which I'd previously overlooked: "24 hours".

Turned out that "all day" meant 6am to 6pm

If you are a woman - you numpty

If you are a man - what a stupid piece of equipment. must have been designed by a woman. etcetc.

I may not know much about thermostats or centrifugal force but I know a lot about men.
Last summer the washing machine started bouncing around and I got a one hour lecture about centrifugal force and correct tub loading procedure.

So I withheld my womanly offereings for two weeks until his hands were shaking and he was bug-eyed. Centrifugalise THAT you b@stard and dont even THINK about trying to front load your tub.
So now,when the telly goes funny and I start pressing all the buttons once he just smiles weakly and says 'you carry on dear'

Does your man know you are not in the kitchen?

More to the point, does he know you are using the t'internet?

I know there are some high tech thermostats around these days, but being able to post on CUK from one is pretty impressive.

I was actually turning it up and my kitten kindly updated cuk for me

[TykeMerc]

i'm sorry, i had to come out and turn the thermostat up to 30

What's a kitchen ?

[BrilloPad]

But was there any reason for doing that? Was it to heat up your fluffy kitten quicker?

<cue pussy joke>

[norrahe]

More to the point, what the flip are you doing out of the kitchen??

No doubt this thread will descend into a discussion on shoes and fluffy kittens.

Or end with one of them getting upset and saying "f off. Seriously!"
