State of the Game

[Red Anders]

I'd need to smother my uncle with a pillow before he'd let me put the heating on.

It could be -20 and he'd still refused to heat the house.

The irony of last night was that I don't usually have the radiator switched on in the morning because it dries my sinuses out, but I specifically turned it on last night so that when the heating came on this morning it would take the chill off the air. Fat lot of good that did with a window ending up wide open.

Im sure your electricity company appreciates the heating being on

Stick around in ten minutes we move on to the console portion of todays SotG

Naaahhhh... christmas is near. No need to get adrenalized by another console discussion. Nope... let's keep talking about wheather or some not translateable german words like "Übergangsjacke", "Stoßlüften" or "Sättigungsbeilage"....so have fun.

 

[Red Anders]

So this thread developed into a wheather thread? Alright....
Middle of Germany... 3 deg celcius. No clouds. It's gonna be a cold night with small traces of corona and cookies in the air.

It's hovering just above freezing here right now and very windy. I'd take -3 and no wind in a heartbeat. I'm fine with cold, just can't stand wind with it.

Update: My uncle put the heating on but sadly the Igloo in the living room will now melt.

I doubt they care, the gas board are probably chuffed to buttons though.

 

[Red Anders]

Where? UK?

Yeah, north west England and fairly high altitude by UK standards.

Duel fuel I see.

We're all electricity sadly.

Nah - you're probably paying under the wholesale price and making them more likely to fail - you utter utter b'stard!

Its ok he's in Manchester and can burn some Man U tops to stay warm.

Gas central heating .

Well, it's blowing a hooley here in London.

On the plus side, tomrrow we get to play the communal game of return the neighbour's bin... or keep them if you still can't find your own... I think I just saw a Fiat 500 rolling by...

When my gran moved in she had the option of getting gas fitted but she didn't trust it.

I hope she's happy down there.

Think that's bad? I heard that bloody Maria Carey xmas tune on the radio today...nearly bloody crashed the van trying to change it.

There's only one good thing about Mariah Carey, or two if you count things that way.

Still have snow on the roofs of the houses across the way here. I woke up this morning to discover that my window had blown off the latch in a gale (with added snowstorm) overnight and my bedroom was 2 degrees C. And windy. Not the best start to the weekend all things considered.

Mine is normally windy.

When I was in hospital with leukemia I was notorious with doctors for putting the aircon full on in my room. Heat just made me feel even more ill

The corridors were tropical and my room was....Scottish in climate. The doctors had to put coats over their coats when they came in....

Was it deep fried?

Thank your lucky stars you don't have to return a tampoline or five.

Strictly Oldham, which makes a difference at this time of year as I look seven miles downhill into the valley at Manchester

Oh I love Northumberland, albeit that my not be your 'manor'.

...I will fear no evil...

Was it deep fried?

Sadly no. But at several points you could have put fried chicken in front of me and I'd refuse to eat it, knowing how soon I'd be seeing it again in Slimfast chunky milkshake format.
