@CoffeeBeansGalore

Great minds Honey 😁.

@NeedToKnow101 sounds more like your control box than the boiler itself. Or sticky valves can cause that as well.

Thanks Coffee, I'll let the engineer know! 😍.. I can sort water pressure issues but I think this is one for a Professional (preferably Bodie).

NeedToKnow101 · 23/01/2021 13:23

Or Honey's husband! Maybe yours can come down too Coffee.. Grin

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 14:11

and I think you meant ska (not scar)

Do NOT correct me needtoknow.
But yeah, I did.
I have literally listened to that song once, the first time I played it. Always forwarded it after that.

Interested in this thread?

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 16:57

Kunky Afro! Spell check strikes again 😅

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 17:00

No you’re not having the point for Happy Monday’s, you had loads of attempts and still hadn’t got the name. You can play nicely and share with me! 👭

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 17:07

@MNerGoneRogue

Happy Mondays?
Ahem honey. 10.16am this morning

Bog off am I sharing points

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 17:09

Will have another look, needtoknow. Were there any hunky 80s new romantics?

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 17:11

No, can't think. Sorry

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 23/01/2021 17:35

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 18:08

Can’t quote because it is already a quoted post, but bugger that.

a) I’m not sharing and
b) I’m not caring

And most importantly (c) I am the spreadsheet overlord and honey ain’t getting my points

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 18:09

Sledging ? Ha ha no that's not me ! I walked a couple of laps round the park - lovely with blue sky this afternoon .

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 18:09

“Play nicely” hurrumphs
Playing nicely is for children and losers

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 18:10

I saw snowdrops earlier. The world still turns...

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 18:15
