"Hey Bob, clocks go back next week"...

"Should've kept up the repayments then, Vic!"

Well, I was debating on Switching On The Central Heatage, as Winter'll be here 2 months today, and it's getting a bit nippy out1.

Anyhoo, it seems a fun night in venting air out of radiators can be postponed, for it's actually quite balmy out.

Besides, why bother? Once I get it all on again, I'll just have to piss about with that fiddly timing dial, which invariably doesn't tie in with actual times!

Is it just me, or do them mini tab things you have to switch up & down with tweezerS never line up with their itty bitty markers? And even when you set the hands dead on 7, and start the tabs at 6:45, it comes on at 6:53, so you end up paranoid your electrics are on the wonk and you daren't leave the house in case it doesn't switch off and a boiling Tsumani melts your house down... and when it does go off, you imagine it switching on in the dead of night, splintering iced up pipes and boiling you in bed like a bunny boiling in a pot by a wel jel extra-marital strumpet with eye on boiled meat & two veg for a midnight feast. Or you go to work wondering if it'll switch itself on again coz the batteries are on the blink triggering 5 min boosts oh heat to scorch yer face off when you come home and open the door. Or...

No?

Just me then!

1 AND WE ALL KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT NIPPY - ALL THEM BRA-LESS BEAUTIES IN FLIMSY TOPS POINTING OUT ALL THEM LANDMARKS DIRECTLY AHEAD WITH THEIR COLD-STIFFENED TEATS. OR SOMETHING.
