Woe, woe and thrice woe.
Oh fucking dear. I’ve been having trouble with my boiler (not that one, she’s fine) and after many visits it is now fixed. Unfortunately one of the external valves needs replacing as the pressure just continues to rise. Bloke came this morning, got halfway through the job and decided he couldn’t finish as the access was too tight. I told him to go and do some other jobs while I sorted out the access problem and for him to return at 3pm. Just after he had gone I noticed a dripping in the kitchen, at the back of the sink unit. Access there isn’t just difficult, it’s impossible. Another downside is that kitchen leaks spread along the floorboards into the dining room where the carpet is only a year old. Panic. Ripped out sink unit, disconnected plumbing and had a minor flood after all. Now I need to re-model the kitchen. As the site says, fuck my life. Not really, it’s fixable and just brought the time line for kitchen work forward. But still. Bollox.

What have you fucked up lately?

I reversed my car
into a metal pole at the weekend and put a lovely series of gouges and scrapes in the bumper.

I wasn't best pleased.

I read "reversed my car" as some sort of modification where you put everything in the car backwards....
.... like so the front is the back, and the back is the front and thought "Holy fuck, that's cool, you can then go the other way, like a train !", and then I realised that all cars can go backwards anyway.

or, more specifically, expansion vessel/schmexpansion vessel. It looks like we'll have to be replacing the our boiler which is about six years old. They don't make them like they used to.

I know that the Baxi was CORGI Boiler Of The Year 2008 and has the better flow rate, but, reclining at that coquettish angle under that lighting, you've got to admit that the Broag is damn sexy.

Before you do anything stupid, please consider all those that would miss you.
