What do you want to vent about today?

A metre!!? Holy crap, that's a lot of water!

Could be a lot worse.....

,,,, he could have an oil powered central heating system, and a non bunded oil tank.

You have experience with that situation?

And being a good oil and gas Tech, no way I’d have it non bunded

Fwiw with the benefit of hindsight, nor would I.
When I built my house I ordered the Oil Boiler from the plumbers merchants, and it came as a package complete with 15x radiators and the Oil storage tank.
I had researched the boiler that I wanted, and their "promotional package deal" seemed the best value for my Worcester Bosch boiler. I had no experience whatsoever of oil fired heating systems before that point and the 2500lt Titan oil tank they supplied looked to be excellent quality. I was pleased it was plastic not metal, as I felt that (not being susceptible to rust) it would last forever.
I now know that was muppetry of the first order, and have researched the subject of fuel oil storage sufficiently to believe that I should never have accepted the single skin plastic tank they delivered. - I guess experience is the most valuable (& expensive) commodity we ever really have.

Still what's a few thousand litres of fuel oil,,,,,,,,

,,,,, 'king expensive & damaging waste of my hard earned, that's what.!



I wish I'd originally had enough money to put in a good ground source heat pump system instead..

I need to get this off my chest before I try and sleep tonight.

Carrying on from my last post in "what are you doing today?" I sent the 3rd letter, the letter to give them a final chance at avoiding falling out via letters. The choices were Letter A (how I think we can resolve this relationship for the best) or Letter B (as they requested, answering everything the complained about and also everything they have said or done which has negatively affected me and why.).

All I've asked for from them since my first letter is to not try to reconstruct a relationship by letter but instead, wait until we can meet in person. We'll they replied tonight saying they didn't want either letter and instead would rather meet in person. Great idea guys... not thought of that one........

Look up Outcasts Cyclists on FB. It's a massive group but there are a lot of very experienced cyclists there and very friendly, they may be able to help locate some bits for you. They also won't just give you the "new bike" shit as that response is banned.

SolidWorks. Why oh why do assemblies become unmoveable since saving and closing them?!

It's an assembly of two parts. It was fully working when I saved it and the simulation was 90% complete. I've reopened it this morning and I cannot get it to work without redoing all my work!

Virgin Media, the broadband is faultless but the customer service when you need something, it's something else

[Cav]

The broadband is far from faultless for me and dealing with their customer service is the absolute worst.

I agree they are terrible to deal with

After 4 attempts and nearly 3 hours on the phone in total I got chatting to someone who knew what they were on about and sorted it all out in 5 minutes.

Fecking plumbing.


Why is it that any job involving pipes and water is a fecking PITA and takes 5 times longer than it should.

At least the local hardware store was open so could pop round for told and spares (only 3 trips)

So what was this insanely complicated task I hear you ask... Replacing an outside tap!

Woohoo for plumbing! I think I managed our outside tap in 2 trios. I can't remember what it was about the job that you simply can't forsee?!

I'm very tempted to get a hot was tap fed outside too. It would be ideal for all sorts of things
