I'm sorry. Not sure what came over me.
OP, masturbate with Ralgex. That'll sort you out.
O/T my Sloe Vodka turned out better than the Christmas cake this year.
That's another warmer there. Neat spirits.
Johnny and I were introduced to the delights of neat Polish Honey Vodka recently. It's divine. And I now have a recipe I'm going to try.

Guinea pigs. Seriously. In South America, poorer families have dozens and dozens of them in the house and they sleep together under low level beds which give off body heat at night to keep the person warm. Plus side is that you just reach under the bed for breakfast in the morning.
I hear they like their piggies on their plates.Mobile Chicane said:
Buy a tent, set it up in the middle of the room, climb in and zip it up. Your own body heat will soon warm the space.
When the gas fire in my student room was disconnected because of some nonsense about carbon monoxide I pitched a tent on my bed and slept there.Given that the OP's dad has told him fan heaters are expensive to run, can I assume he lives at home? In which case the OP is much less likely to get caught using an oil-filled electric radiator as they're silent.
