It's so typical... coldest weekend of the year and my boiler broke

[dcv]

update....

The heating engineer arrived about 20 mins ago!

He's diagnosed the fault as a broken fan so he's now gone off to pick up a replacement part and should be back in about an hour or so.

I'm assured i'll have heating and hot water by late afternoon

now I can walk down the streets of Sydney in the winter in a pair of thongs, ...

A pair of thongs? One on your head or something?

No, one one each foot like a normal person. Why the hell would you wear a thong on your head.

Word of advice for people buying thongs, make sure you spend the extra few dollars and get double-pluggers. Sure, single-pluggers are cheaper but they're prone to breaking when you run on the beach.

Thongs=flipflops=jandals.

Buy an electric heater just in case the boiler packs out again.

And on another subject, HAPPY BIRTHDAY E!

"Thongs" refer to underwear here ( go to Victoria's Secret and search on "thong"). Hence the confusion.

Very glad to hear it!

Hopefully, you'll pick up a small heater or two just in case this happens again!

I know, I keep forgetting. It's very much footwear here, you go into a department store and ask where you can buy thongs and they'll send you to the shoe section.

Good one... but £400!!!!
Thongs? We were just wondering what you were going to wear tonight.

Good but 'ouch' on the cost. That's one pricey fan!

Enjoy luxuriating in your hot shower though once the bathroom has heated up enough to get in it!

My word I think I might need to go and lie down! Those sound most uncomfortable!


(yes I'll never get tired of thongs as shoes not string based undies now I've found out about it)

I just wandered in on this, and started reading...

First post to type "oh, no!"
Then "heh heh"
Then "good"
Then "hehehehhehe"
Then "Yay!"

It's like a whole self contained story. With a happy ending.

Glad it's fixed, have a great night. And happy birthday indeed, edesign.
