More believable explanations:

a) Magic heater
b) Have developed superpower in form of glowing arse.

Have you noticed new scorch marks? Are you eating too many beans?

Note if you get MF doing push ups in your office you could melt glass

Or cause an earthquake?

Hmm. Temp rose steadily to 19.3 with no heating on. Then went out for bit over an hour. On return it was back down to 15.8 so not wall or tank. Now up again to 17.8 and only thing different is me and my PC. I have clearly acquired superpowers and transformed into Room Warming Man!

15.1' when I closed the door. Rose to 17.5 in 59 minutes although no heating on.

Office faces east. 11am and just a bit of very hazy sunshine left. Will be doing some measurements to check other possible scientific explanations:

a) Insulation suddenly not working on hot water tank although quite new and no obvious problems.
b) Heat in wall due to open fire downstairs.
c) Thermometer is lying.

Although why these did not keep the room warm until I brought my magic heater and I was always switching the fan heater on I am not sure.

More believable explanations:

a) Magic heater
b) Have developed superpower in form of glowing arse.

PS 17.8 now.

You know you are actually a heater? If you jump up & down it gets warmer.

Since this thread has been resurrected got an even weirder thing that violates laws of the universe.

Was using a fan heater in my little office, needed it all day or the temperature soon dropped to 14 or so. Got one of those electric oil convectors that gives a nice steady 19'. The oddity is that, if I use it to about 1PM and then turn it off (it stays cold to the touch) the office stays at 19 the rest of the day. Free magic heating!

PS or gets hotter. Turned it off an hour ago, was 19.4C It's now 19.7C Weird.
PPS Been checking. Now about 5 hours since I turned it off, temperature dropped to 19.1 at one point, now back up to 19.4. Heater has stayed stone cold.
