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?

What do you think?
Broag-Remeha Avanta 28C

Baxi Duotec HE 28

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.

Yes, we do. You only offer the parsley if he's found the thing for you, otherwise, nothing, or you tie him with a rope. In theory, it's a St you have to treat really badly for him to do you favours.
