I forgot the report, sorry.Originally posted by Zippy View PostThere do not appear to be any cold spots in my radiators. Phew!
Only one needed doing. In the kitchen, the first from the boiler. The rest were fine. I'll give it a couple of days and check again.
Also, the leaves on the tree outside my window are falling off. Soon I'll have a lovely view of the council estate over the road.

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.Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostOK, I give in. I'm putting the heating on for a little while.
Fair enough, then. But no enjoying it.Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostJust to test it still works, you understand, and to see which radiators need bleeding.

Do apples 'chunter'?Originally posted by threaded View PostI 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.

Blimey!

Dude, you were married to a young student nurse, and the best thing to keep the bed warm was this?Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYears ago, when Mrs Tester was a student nurse and I was a newly unemployed graduate, we kept ourselves warm at night by eating plenty of sauerkraut before going to bed. The resulting gas emissions could warm up the bed quicker than any central heating system.
PM me I'll send you some basic guidlines.

Yep, you just have to make sure there are no gaps between quilt and bed where the gas might escape.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostIsn't sauerkraut a bit erm, sulphurous?
