I bought some new toilet seats the other day and was excited.

Ooh where from, because that's what I'm doing today.

[Frankenhooker]

We went to bed, to sleep, before 10pm last night. Earliest I've been in my bed on a Saturday since I was about twelve, we left our eldest downstairs. Kids were still playing outside.

 

I feel great because of it.

Grinning from ear to ear at the new wiper blades on my car and how efficient they are.

I'd agreed to go to a soul night with my mate a week on Friday, just checked online & it's Craig Charles DJing, £18 a ticket & starts at 11pm.

 

I've just told him I'm not going, I could get a pack of 10 Amstel for £8, sit in the house listening to soul music & go to my bed at midnight.

Looking for excuses to pull out of playing 5 aside.

He does the soul stuff on Radio 6 music & is quite highly regarded I believe, hence the ridiculous ticket price.

He is excellent, in fairness.

Also, crack cocaine can be quite expensive.

I wash showing the lads in work pictures of my new boiler today. Fuck it, here it is;

 

 

It's probably a third the size of the old one and runs like a dream. The old one covered most of the floor space and you had to climb in to see above it. Got to admire that workmanship.

[Champ]

Whats it doing on the floor, if you dont mind me asking. Or do you have a Borrower who can change the settings?

Sssshhh, he's not found out its a mini fridge yet.

Did you get wooden ones? Can't beat a wooden toilet seat. They're not all cold like plastic ones, and you don't lose the feeling in your legs during a marathon dump.

If you've got any pictures of your old boiler, you can post them in Alans thread.

I dunno, the cupboard is about 3 foot off the ground so it's a textbook reach in to change the dials which I don't need to because it's got a Hive 2 control with an app.

 

Obligatory shot;

If it did I'd be moving in there.

And there was me thinking he was just going to play the robot wars music back to back with music from red dwarf. Learn something new every day.

I did cheers mate. Had a bit of trouble getting your installation date though, they gave me start of December at first but after a bit of moaning I had someone out the next day. Strange that.

 

I owe you a pint.

Nice new bit of plastering too.

No worries.

 

Hive is ace isn't it? If you want the light bulbs I can get 20% of those too.

Yep. Wooden all the way, closer to nature too despite the manufacturing and aditives.
