  1. Slightly cooler in Tenerife today . €1 pints OK. But just as a refresher . €4 in Neds Growler Bar the absolute dogs . 5.8% .
  2. We chucked it on bonfires . Now a more serious comment. It was everywhere, pipe insulation, pre fab houses , every single car on the road (brake discs) , artex paint , cladding, fire retardant paint , gaskets . It's a killer that lies dormant . In buildings and very sadly in LUNGS. Total respect is required at all times. If you suspect its there , piss off and call in the experts
  3. Wait till they "kettle" us on that bloody bridge after the game. Experience kicked in an pincer movement was avoided and me and the dog were supping in the Raven. 30 mins after final whistle
  4. Further plot twist . Away game is 3rd round FA Cup Day . So another possible move. Wet Wednesday night 19.45 kick off in pieland
  5. Still not announced the day . Plot twist incoming
  6. I remember playing Partick Thistle
  7. Sorry Mikkey he only does the big stuff . Slam a roof on the Toughsheet , cool it down to -25c that's what he does. Can also knock up an ice rink in 3months . Nay bother. The next ones in Dublin.
  8. Mikkey, you need a duel split system . Single condensing unit outside, two evaporators inside . Comes as a system. Minus the connecting pipework. Wrong time of year to order one . Wait till winter . Prepare to say " how much " when the guy tells you the cost of the gas.
  9. Heatwave in Tenerife right now. Bloody lovely. Had a couple in the Giddy Goose earlier.
  10. "Pourous seals " there's ya answer. They need changing.
  11. It's got a miniscule leak , but over time obviously the loses a percentage of gas , places cannot be arsed mending the leak . So squirt abit in . System obviously improves but the leak is still there .Remember it's only a small charge 32, ounces .
  12. Monarch catering, mainly kitchen fridges . Owner originally from Deane / Daubhill. Last saw him.in Howfen.
  13. All systems have to be gas tight. Ps who did your dad work for , it's a small game and most of us know each other .
  14. The new ones 431A and 404 A etc are smaller molecules. But all systems have to be gas tight . It's why the fgas regulations exist . Every system over a certain size has to have regular leak tests . These have to be documented. The old freon gases R22 , R502 ( the "bad " ones ) which are now illegal over here but the chinks and Indians still produce them . There is an massive illegal trade in Refrigeration gases . A 60kg cylinder of gas used to cast 10 yrs ago £350 ,now its £3780 . Garages charge a fortune, a car air con gas charge is no more the 32ounces. You do not top up a system, what's left is decantented , the system is then pressurised with OFN , this is used to find the leak. Usually with soapy water . The leak is repaired , system vacuumed out then a fresh charge added.
  15. I have been in the automotive Air Con business for 40 yrs . I have also been on the industrial Refrigeration business for 48 yrs . Unless there is a leak , the system will carry on working. ( gas wise ). Yes the compressor can fail or the condenser fan on a larger unit . The gas does not deteriate . It's a massive con. We have company vehicles leased , I have lost count of the number of times , when they go in for a service and we get a phone call saying the air con needs a re- gas when they go in for a service. My reply is always the same " hang on I will be right down " Get there , either ( ford's, toyota, VW , or BMW , all main dealers ) Or Kwik fit . Hi mate , show me what's wrong and where the leak is . ( BEARING in mind I wear a company shirt with our badge on the front and a/c specialist + industrial Refrigeration on the back . 19 times out of 20 . " sorry pal the apprentice diagnosed it and has made a mistake "
  16. Axel was great with AC/DC a few years ago . Absolutely smashed the Bon Scott era songs .
  17. Has the system been diagnosed as short of gas. If so ask the garage to show you where the leak is . How they are going to repair it . Then the system can be recharged . So many folk get ripped off with this .
  18. Why do you think it needs doing ? ( serious question)
  19. Club sticking with the away season ticket. Season Ticket holders . Fastest fingers . Maximum of 10 to be purchased. More chance of getting a ticket if you just want 1 or 2. Don't shoot the messenger
  20. Well you are getting the Teal one , whether you like it or not .
  21. Goal minder incoming from Chelsea. According to " eeeevnin stadat"
