And the next problem...

Got home this evening to find my hot water / central heating boiler giving a low pressure light. Let in some more water to put the pressure up, valve says it's OK but water isn't coming on. Had to go out to dentist and hope it was OK.

Got home at 5.45 and it wasn't.

Phoned central heating company, after faffing around with their phone system for five minutes or so got told I needed an insurers job number first, which is NOT what the policy document says.

Phoned the insurers, got a job number after faffing around with their phone system for five minutes or so.

Phoned central heating company. They've closed until the morning...

So no heat tonight, probably not until Thursday. Time to dress up warm.

BALLS!

Do you want the five minute rant about what warm and cold blooded really means or the full half hour full of words like "poikilothermic?"

Which will keep you warmer?

Rising Home-Heating Costs Hitting Reptile Families Hardest

December 21, 2005 | Issue 41•51

CHICAGO—With government figures indicating double-digit home-heating cost increases in coming months, America's reptilian citizens are warning that, unless swift measures are taken to provide them with adequate warmth, many will face serious metabolic crises this winter.

"Unlike our mammalian citizens, who maintain a consistent body temperature and have the option of throwing on a sweater, reptiles are entirely dependent on external heat sources," Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) said. "All my constituents are facing rate hikes of 21 percent or more. But some of them, like it or not, may be forced into a quasi-hibernative state if they do not receive emergency fuel-price relief."

There's more ;-)
