It's usually the primary one innit, where the thermostat is an' all?

I've seen loads of hall radiators knobless to prevent opening/shutting...

I do know I borrowed a knob off another radiator to turn off the knobless hall one in one house and the boiler packed up about two days later...

I’ve honestly no idea stuff like this I’m no good with. I just didn’t see the point in warming up the front door so switched it off 

Old people, f*ck moll, they should grow ganja or tropical plants to offset their gas bills.

When I used to visit my mam and dad the heat would hit you in the face in the hall.

It was like stepping out of an airconned airport terminal in the Middle East in July.

Timers etc.? Nah, for them it was 'get up, thermostat whacked from 5 to 30-odd (end of dial) until bedtime.

Their heating engineer was on speeddial as their boiler(s) would chuck in the towel so frequently.

My dad continued the practice after my mam passed.

He also had the last laugh as he pegged it leaving muggins here with a gas bill for about £850. 😡

Mard sod. 😀

Don't get me wrong, I ain't getting any but that's nowt to do with living alone.

Those TaTu girls will be ropey as fuck after fifteen years in some gulag east of Mogadon...

That's crackpot thinking - "hmm, which eight hours should the heating be off? Definitely not the eight most folk are underneath 20tog duvets that's for sure..."

My on-off (mostly off atm) girl (handful but in perfect proportion) has the heating on full whack at night with the fucking window open.

I put up with it because...oh aye, because we don't live together.

I do put my foot down regarding the burglar alarm though - that remains off at night

Putting the alarm on (at night) is tantamount to chemical castration. It's more or less saying "my other half is soft as fuck" and allowing it (alarm on) is saying "yes, I am".

It's not crackpot thinking as the heating goes off at 9pm until 6.30am. During the day your body adjusts better to the temperatures. But its pleasant to wake up in a warm house and equally pleasant to be warm as you settle for the evening.

There are jumpers, shawls and socks to take the edge off daytime cold. Bedtime is duvet time.

I'm another who noticed my missus a couple of years back would open a window when it got too hot in the house because of the heating. I went fucking mental.

A mate who installs shit - he reckons the hall is where most of the cold enters the house so that's why the hall one is usually primary (therefore hottest) and they should be left on.

Makes sense if one thinks even the most modest houses usually have two doors at front (or did).

Sack having a radiator on at night. If I had my way I'd have the bedroom windows open all year round. I sleep better. That mard arse crys about it though. 

Our boiler packed up on Monday, the bloke had to condemn it as there was water pissing out of it - so we had a new boiler fitted yesterday, the house is now back to being toasty and warm. Fuck me, Tuesday and half of yesterday was fucking cold with no heating though, I don't want to have to experience that again.

I never understand these people who seem to take pleasure in not putting the heating on.....balls that, I have it on almost 24 hours a day now. I've done a count, and we have 18 radiators, and only two of them aren't turned on at the minute (the downstairs bog, purely because I very rarely use it and one of the guest rooms)

 

Edit: to add, we only have it set at 22 degrees, so it's not really hot like some houses I've been into

You made it out like you were on a 16/8 on/off cycle and the off 8 was 9am-5pm...

You weren't specific enough. 😡😀

Having it on at night when everyone's in bed is mentalism...

If we were shacked up she (Ms. On/Off) would not get away with it.

What if you had to go on that SAS thing with Ant McPartlin?

They always make them tow an iceberg or bum a snowman or sommat - you'd be knackered due to your frankly OAP-style attitude to central heating.

An adroit observation. 

Not sure it increases the bumming quotient, just mental deviance.

By means of confirmation; just been for a long awaited prostate check. The finger up the arse was most certainly not appetising, and as he was rummaging around the only sensation was of wanting to shit all over the probing hand.

Were you not wondering how he had both hands on your shoulders during proceedings?

Just met another dog walker/neighbour who said exactly the same. He had a prehensile cock if that was the case.

I have to have a flying medical every year, recently they've been telling me that the finger-in-bum check is now optional (used to be "No Delight, No Flight"). My answer is always "If I'm paying hundred and fifty quid for this I want the full monty... get the blue glove and KY on pal"

Is there time to sneak a crafty wank in whilst they do it?

You've not seen the Paddy who does my medical.

On a similar track, I fondly remember my Asian Babe dentist before she went off dropping calves. Used to look forward to my root canal treatment... "Are you feeling okay?" she'd ask me half way through, if only she could see the boner I had under the cape...

Our installer said the bathroom is usually the one for this, as its warm for post showering and drying the room out. Also dont spend too long at one time to get too hot.

No, though sweep/rudy may have more insight.

The doc who did it, also had an "assistant" in the room who didn't do anything- perhaps he filmed/wanked whilst I had my back turned.

My boiler's on the way out too.
Heating works fine and is on pretty much all day, but hot water isn't hot, just warm.

More money I could do without spending.

Possibly diverter valve passing between heating and hot water circuits. Flick it between water only / heating only and combined a couple of times. If it's just crud stuck in it may get lucky and dislodge. 

After you've rubbed it with bloon of course

Paid £2,500 for a new 30kW Worcester just before Christmas, glad I did, we've been sub zero all week and the new one has more umph. Local company, cheaper than British Gas with none of the bollocks but small outfits don't do the interest free credit.

Slow your flow rate a touch. (Turn the tap down slightly) This should mean the water takes longer to go through the heat exchanger coil. 
 

That should sort things until you get a plumber in.

I need to go on some sort of class for these sort of things. My washing machine wasn't draining last week, looked at the filter, checked the sump - thought I was billy big bollocks. Still didn't drain. Got a handyman round, wastepipe was blocked. Took 30 seconds.

Turns out a deep knowledge of winklepickers and cravats is useless in the face of household fixes.

Also, real men of proper graft I have a drill issue. Trying to fix curtain poles up in the bedroom. Got a concrete drill bit but it appears there's some sort of impregnable stone above the window and its only goes so far in. My actual drill is a bit shit, do I need to spend or is there another way?
