His idea of DIY heating in the bathroom was to bang a nail into the wall run a cable into the bathroom and then balance an electrical heater on that.
That an electrical heater was balanced precariously over a bath doesn't seem to have set off any alarm bells. 100% botched. Now he's killed half his family. What a prick.

Yeah but if I threw a heater in my bath I'd get a bit of a shock
the circuit breaker would go and my housemate would moan at me that his xbox cut off BEFORE A SAVE POINT

i kind of do, a little bit
but not as much as i do about leaving here in 20 mins to get a train and then about the free drinks in first class on the train and what will i have in the curryhouse tonight and i am calling the potential new bloke and should i put make-up on to make the call and can i fit a trip to marks and sparks to buy some new tights for sat night before the gym on sat morning.... and so on and so forth.

i suspect other people are just the same.

edit - lonely planet doesn't appear to have updated its tourist recommendations yet. i love reading the lonely planet about really random countries. they are particularly damning about chad.

I'm forcing everyone to be happy about their relativly peaceful revolution.

I've managed to miss most of that today
I've always fancied a trip to Carthage so this revolution might benefit me. Viva la whoeveritis will take over, power to the people and all that.
