We have a new hero in Troy Parrott placemats really hope they can qualify.

I thought I was the only person on this thread old enough to recognise a Frank Zappa reference.

Seamus is my man, fingers crossed they qualify.

I'm not old enough but I do have the album!

I have to set the heating thermostat for 18, overnight, when it's like this. DS2 will not wear more than one layer on top and the house gets very cold, very quickly, if we let it.

We had a mix of sleet and snow overnight but too wet to settle. There's likely to be snow further up the mountain though.

My house is currently undergoing renovations care of the Welsh Government. The render has been removed so the house is colder than normal.

It is a bit cold to be without your render @LittleBowSheep ! Hope the renovations go well.

Hope all goes well & you really feel the benefits very soon🫰

Reform's defence; it was a long time ago, people could mis-remember

Does that apply to Farage too?

One could accept Farage's claims about youthful folly, misremembered etc. if he had changed his ways. But he hasn't. He might not be quite as blatant about how he approaches things, but the bigotry is still there.

Exactly @PandoraSocks. If he was vehemently anti racist now I’d say he had a change of heart as he grew up. The fact he’s a veiled racist makes me inclined to think a) he did say outrageously racist things as a teen and b) he’d say them now if he could get away with it.

Will come back and keep reading, but when my heating was not heating the whole house- upstairs was hot, radiators were hot, but rest of the house was cold- it turned out after many visits and an engineer who knew what he was doing, that the pump speed needed changing.

It's been OK since.

It’s not a heating issue @LlttledrummergirI. It’s a stupidly cold day issue. It’ll be ok this evening but it’s really hard to get the temp up in the mornings.

That's interesting as it is like a sauna in the upstairs part of our house but cold in the lounge and dining bit.

Misremembered? By several independent witnesses? Yeah right.

When we had the same issue our gas engineer took the thermostats off all the downstairs radiators. He had some strange theory about water having a memory and avoiding certain radiators. No, I never understood it but it did the trick.

Water having memory sounds a bit Waters of Mars to me. Scary.

Isn't that what homeopathy is about?

I'm cool with that 😎

This hamster needs taxing.

Might as well fill up the thread with hamsters
