Checked it, apparently....

Laddo tested everything - he was here for over 3 hours. There's no sign of a leak, hence suspecting that it's under the concrete floor lounge. And yes, "10" bar was the expression he used. As I wrote, I didn't know whether it was simply a handy phrase or literal. From what you say, just an...

I've groaned before about out F22 boiler error. A Vaillant Ecotec Pro. During the summer, when the heating's not used, we used to get the F22 error every 4 or 5 days. The plumber suggested we had a leak in the system, although we never found one. Everything else seemed to be working OK, so he...

Right, chaps... After just over an hour on the phone this afternoon, my dead wife has been advised the following : "They" don't know why her identity can't be verified. There might be a problem with her 22/23 P60, but "they" don't know what it is.... So... 1) Get a new passport. "People have...

My house used to have very nice pine skirting boards. Then we bought a Labrador.

The phone rang, so I pulled over on a side street and answered. It was one of those recorded message jobs, so it was quickly cut off and blocked. All of a sudden there was a knock on the passenger door glass... "Are you looking for business, lovey?" She was quite attractive in a sullen sort of...

Saw my dead wife this lunchtime. Surprisingly, the department involved have actually made contact this morning, but laddo couldn't be of much help because he was "working from home and didn't have access to everything he needed...." (No, I'm not making any of this up, by the way. Is this country...

Well, this evening's update on my late wife's progress is that she rang the alternative number which was answered after 1 hour 10 minutes. She had to recount the whole story all over again, to the amusement of the listener by all accounts. No comments as to whether it was unusual/first time...

Actually, I was thinking of having a crack at her employer, as apparently I get £30k if she kippers whilst employed! :whistle:

My wife's employer's payroll department reckon there's something wrong with her income tax, and requested she contact IR to check stuff. Last night I watched over her shoulder as she tried to log in to the GOV site, using her 12 digit "Gateway" account. Nope, not recognised. Clicked the button...

Ha! :giggle: Well spotted! Wonder how MikeJhn picked up on that thread, from so long ago?! (Think I'll start a new post for my current moan!)

I was mistaken for Deep Purple's Ian Gillan in some Sheffield pub....his eponymous band were appearing at the Students Union that evening. Ironically, I did work for him at the time, organising flights/accommodation for artists who's signed up to his travel agency....

Good on ya, man! I've not had mine cut for over 30 years...

Yes, a variant. At least, I've always assumed that... Perhaps courtesy of movie "language censorship" being eased? Usually associated with the word "hole"...

Maybe it's an age thing. Did you never see/hear the Ray Allan and Lord Charles vent act? One of Lord Charles' popular lines was "You silly @RSE". Their act was on mainstream TV countless times in the 1960's onwards...

Thinking about keeping fit for the New Year, and combining it with a new hobby, I've started playing "Silent Tennis". It's exactly the same as the game of tennis that you already know, but without the racket....

Just think....if one of those arms gets ever so slightly out of sync.....

I blame Stuart Little.... 😁

FAO William Pang... I appreciate you're new to this technology, but can you take a little more care when incorporating somebody elses quote in your responses, please? It looks as if the final sentence in the edit below was part of what I'd written, but was actually your response! ".....a few...
