I was just listening to Nine Inch Nails and then Mos Def. How about some early DJ Shadow?
And have you got a job as a minibus driver or something now?

It's dead but I think there's lurkers who are scared of unfamiliar names, and people who won't post because someone else posted first.

Why do my radiators whistle, and turning the thermostatic valves stops them for a bit?

What was it BGB said? Trying not to appear suspicious? LOL
It's probably cavitation caused by zinc dissolving from the brass. Often happens when valves are almost completely shut and more than a few years old. That's not to say that age is the issue, could maybe be too high flow rate in the heating. Try turning the circulator speed down? Or balance the rads.

My boiler is ancient and there is only a heat dial. I know how to top up the boiler when the pressure dips, though where does the water go when that happens?
Balance the rads? You what?
(, Thu 10 Nov 2011, 22:15, Reply)
Circulator has 3 settings.
Too fast and it'll make noises.
You've got 2 valves on each rad, one at each end.
One is the TRV, opens and closes on demand.
Other is lock-shield valve, should be set by plumber to ensure equal flow through all rads.
Water is a lazy cunt and will find easiest route through system.

I can't be empirical, but I expect you've not missed much.
Of course I'm talking nonsense. If I've not had a few drinks I'd not be on here. I'd be doing something more constructive.

I have been killing time with a nice simple little wargame on that there internet - played a sologame then actually ventured into multiplayer and joined a game in progress and kicked ass.
www.conquerorgame.com - I quite like the limited options, it doesn't require much thinking but still allows for a range of tactics. Two thumbs up!

I got the hang of it fairly quickly. Apparently it was very busy a few years back, then there were flash problems where you could only play with an old version and most people left. Now it's fixed but hasn't really picked back up.
Perils of the internet I guess.

Having a crappy home is a downward spiral that leads to being too depressed by your surroundings to fix things so it gets worse so it gets more depressing... Pretty soon you'll stop inviting people over and start hoarding.

sorry, it was just the first thing that popped into my head, more from the 'sub' prefix than anything. I'm a bit confused as to what constitutes a sub-culture in the first place.
