Happy Christmas!

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

I’ve just cracked open the Xmas pud and the brandy cream so finally feel like it’s Christmas!
Happy Christmas!!!!
In an attempt to feel a bit more Christmassy I popped into town this afternoon. Ashford town centre was dead at 2:30pm. I wondered if I’d find a space when in fact there were probably less than 3 [...]

Woooooo! Heat (and easter eggs)

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Hurrah! Boiler is all fix0rated. As expected, it was the bloody thermocouple however I’m rather glad that I managed to find someone to fix it. Seems that although changing the front one is easy (done that before) the back one is a little more involved. Although it is trivial to actually change it getting access [...]

It’s dead….(and cold)

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Bugger.
boiler seems to have finally expired overnight. Arse Arse Arse.
Symptoms do seem to suggest thermocouple (or gas value - *gulp*) but looking at it it appears that I need to remove the entire gas front (that we never use and hate the look of!) to get at the workings of the back boiler. I’m not [...]

Completely knackered but a great time was had. I think everyone enjoyed it. Once again Becca got a hug with bob the builder and Jake [...]

Wow, what a surprise

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

So, Diana’s death was an accident. Wow, what a surprise. Seems that Al Fayed is still not accepting of this - another surprise. Maybe he could pick up the bill for this investigation?
One thing that amused me on the way home from work was a quote stating that various people had been interviewed including the [...]

Sun update

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Well, it seems that both of my guesses at email addresses hit the target and that my email has been forwarded around a growing collection of important people within Sun. Some of the people reading this blog will also have seen it no doubt ;-).
Please, don’t email me asking for the addresses of Trudy and [...]
