I would just like to say

Its a little Fuel Burning Heater that preheats the engine wata, so with the engine on and the screen heater on 5mins and the car is toasty as F
Can even be run without the engine running. if its only a light frost then I don't even have to go out can do it from the hall window.

I also keep forgetting you have "scrotes".

J

Yep scrotes are a real problem and you cannot get the ointment for them any more!

 

[Stanleysteamer]

The benefit of a fool burnin eater is yer dunt need to be wiv da car. It will work wivvoot the engine running. Timer or remote to start stop. Int gottid one on ma hippo as he hassa backup lectric eater so warm warn starts coming through quick. Eye dunt after wait ferris engine to warn up.

I think they might be a good thing. When I was working my drive to work was 8 miles. In cold weather the heater only came on just before I got there. Even my Mini 1275 never did more than 20 to the gallon commuting.
The BMW 528 cost me a gallon a day. So I didn't keep it long! Diesels were better.

Ahhhh!
Yes, there was a bloke in my kit car club who fitted one of these things to his car. Seem to remember it ran of the electric mains. Had to remember to unplug it.
Airport fire engines have water and maybe even oil heaters on all the time, with special plugs that disconnect when they have to drive off in a hurry to a shout. Found this out when on a holiday in Turkey, there were two airport firemen on the Gulet we were travelling in. B ut yours sounds as if it is independent. Do you have it cos it gets cold in Bulgary?

Nope standard modern LR luxury, It maybe an option.
But was part of spec when M was looking. She did the looking/specing I just said yes and paid as you do.
Only used it a few times as now we are retyred we have the choice, look out the window and say nope we dont need to go anywhere.

Just spent an hour in the farthest loft from the house. Cleaned it out last year, loft insulation and just vacuumed it out. Added rodent wire and expanding foam and all appears Roland free. Good spray of vets grade disinfectant and I’m reasonable happy . I now have to go back in at some point to widen the loft access, remediate some daft wiring before new insulation and flooring. #Phookingsqueakybastids

Jeez, alarm injuneer due in ten and I haven’t finished me coffee

@Dippypud Sorry sweetheart, so far I have been unable to locate the small coil of 20A e-bike cable I know I have (somewhere).
I will look in A.N. Other shed tomorrow (2 down, 2 to go Trouble is everything in the next shed is in stacked crates with lids on and I cannot see through them.
If it is raining I will be a bit stuffed because the crates have to come out of the shed so I can open them.

 

[Dippypud]

Bored. Sitting round at the fixer upper
1 of 3 deliveries received, hungry, out of tea, on my own, waiting for the scarlet pimpernel to deliver my flooring
And god knows where Tuffnells have gone with the doors. I bet if I sneak to the shop they'll both turn up and card me.
Bored.

They do small shop deliveries around here called Gorrilas or somesuch …

Why dunt yer just ring em if thats wot they prefer?

Cos I want a written record of everything that goes on. Also they take things more seriously if they know that you know consumer law.
Believe me i have been here quite a few times and they will try to wriggle out of stuff but by following this sort of procedure I have never lost a consumer case yet. Even had to send the bailiffs in to Carphone warehouse, but won every case so far.
If they weren't shifty it'd be easier to complain.
You get a feel for these things.!

Got woked up v early today, by a big stink.
The dogs had done an Augean Stables all over the place, including the new landing carpet.
Got wifey out of bed to help me clear it up (I wasn't taking responsibility for the carpet.)
It took an hour.
We suspect the scaffies moved the grapevine around and ones we hadn't found fell to the floor, then the dogs ate 'em.
Since then the new hardwood blanket box (dirty washing box) has landed only ordered in March.
Then Waitrose has delivered.
Endless fun here!
Weather dry but very cold.
Have a nice Fridiy peeps!

Ah so your playing Hercules today did ye just put the plug in the sink & overflow it wash the dung away.

There's no need to start a fight at the moment as the purchased item has a warranty to claim under. Follow that route in a peaceful way and dont stress over it. Yer only need to fight if they refuse and yer gorra honest case. Section 11.3 int link below

I am impressed by your knowledge of the classical tales, of which I know very little but yes that would be the Herculean way of doing it!!!!
No, we did it the normal way, I took the hard surfaces, Wifey did the two big patches on the new carpet. I hope to feck she gets them properly clean or else she'll be broken hearted. Not properly clean yet, but the "professional " cleaner says it takes 24 hrs for the first attempt and it may take another one, (or four!)





(Did you google "Augean stables")

Got the grass mowed which is another defence against the stealth dog turd

Trick is get a sand wedge & loaf them into the abyss or just over yer fence into the neebs ruff

...another "gem" gifted me by the wifey.
Some months ago she was clearly having a bad dream (usually indicated by a sort-of whinnying in her sleep) ..which then brought forth the classic deep voiced utterance "GET YOUR FÜCKING 'ANDS OFF ME".
This weeks was a similar intro, followed by.."I'll BITE IT OFF".
I am puzzled as to what has befallen my angel before she married me 46 years ago; but clearly I need to keep my hands to myself and put nothing I don't want to lose in her mouth.
