My son was redoing one of his bathrooms, I suggested electric shower, just in case the combi boiler broke one day.

Very wise.

Seems daft to have a st shower every day of your life on that one off occasion you have to have a shower at work/the gym.

He never said the electric one was his main shower. In fact he said ‘one of his bathrooms’

Not everyone has showers available at work.

"Guess who I bumped in to on the tram?"


Funnily enough I declined to guess as it could have been anyone, and even when she told me it was Sarah I initially assumed a different Sarah as the one she bumped in to lives in a different flipping country!

Escape to Victory was on yesterday. I'm in the room, not watching. Mrs Squarekins is watching. It's about 3/4 of the way in, the main match is being played now.

Suddenly, ' My favourite part of this film is when they are dropping the soil from their trousers.'

Me, That's a different film, but easy mistake, 'Escape' in the title.

Next, 'What's German for dog?' Me, hund.

'Why are the crowd singing in French?' They're French people, It's in France.

'Oh...'

'So the German guard dogs are chien then.' Err, why, they would be German guard dogs, I think.

'Unless the Germans invaded and started recruiting French dogs.' Yeah, maybe.

Top film that, especially the bit where Pele try’s to dribble the ball through the barbed wire at the end.

probably true

Which reminds me this thread needs a complimentary; hilarious things old farts say.

I'm blessed with a mrs who's pretty smart and dodges this thread well, but the in-laws can be golden, they share a PC; last week the FiL strides into the room, addresses the MiL in an astringent tone; "HAVE YOU CHANGED THE GOOGLE?"

I kind of wobbly vibraterly slid down the sofa.

From this weekend

I like this beach but it’s wrong
Last time we came on a Sunday afternoon the tide was out
This time it’s in, I thought it was the same every Sunday afternoon

She has a degree in geography and oceanography was one of the compulsory modules!

I'm sure I've quoted this one before..... at one stage I had an apartment overlooking the sea. (Arabian Gulf to be precise) The Mrs was staying for a couple of weeks & looked out of the window at a .small bay just in front of the apartment. Now I'm prepared to believe that she may not have related the Arabian Gulf to the sea, but she then came out with.....

"Oooh look all the water has evaporated"

"Sorry, what?"

"Yes, look at that little bay all the water has gone"

It took me a moment to think is she being serious? But she was.

"You realise its just the tide has gone out?"

Crocodile flavour only; the original haggis and marmalade flavour comes from Broughty Ferry.

Walking at the seaside at Findhorn yesterday.

'Oh look, it's one of those Gordon Highlanders'......

Unless I am missing something, don’t all domesticated premises have a hot water storage tank?

On the flip side - I didn't know any system installed since the early 1980's had a hot water tank!.

My friends son has just moved into a new to him house . It's three years old , part of a modern estate of about 80 mixed houses. Big builder Berkley homes . All have gas central heating with hot water storage cylinders. They do have astonishing insulation though.

Like I said I assumed nearly evceryone was on combi's these days.......siince about 1980's Never said it didnt happen just thought it was becoming rareer and rarer over time.to the point of negligible. I was wrong

[Blown2CV]

combis are st. If you've got a modern pressurised tank then it's cheap to keep it full with hot. Combis are more about space-saving.

Depends on your circumstance. Other than a shower I have little need for hot water the rest of the day, seems a waste to heat a whole tank when you won't use all of it..
