Random Irritations

[drdel]

If it's any of the above then 90% heat pump. I've changed so many over the last few years. Having a heater that basically resembles a bit of tracking might have something to do with it!

The only consolation is that the pumps have come down in price over the years, somewhere around the £60 mark now.

Thanks guys. Yup 'tis a Bosch error code E09 - I'm thinking you're probably right and its most likely the pump heater assembly. I need to drag it out of the recess and try and find the serial number. Any tricks or unusual issues to be aware off?

Maybe it's just me being suspicious but what are the chances of both nearside tyres? My first thought was it could be some idiotic vigilante who thought you should not be out driving and decided to jam a nail in each of the tires so they would penetrate as soon as you drove off. Somebody tell me to think better of people.

Sounds like something a scorned ex wife might do

Almost fainting infront of my girls.

Bloody house rabbit ran under my foot. In my haste to not trample it I booted the door frame. Only to notice my nail completely hanging off and a nice bit of wall are created of the blood. having pulled my own nails out a few times in my twenties due to eczema being so bad, I could handle the initial pain.

The missus then helped wrap a makeshift mini bandage around it a put a pin into my freshly exposed flesh.

Made me feel slightly nauseous reading that!

Sorry.

Think it made me slightly worse ??

I think that could be relatively close to the truth as I can see a nail embedded in the rear tyre, however can't see anything in the front but it's going to be costly as they're bloody performance tyres ?

Kids car seat in back so if someone has done it they've totally disregarded that I have kids and could potentially need the car to get the kids in an emergency.

Fortunately she was never my wife ?, though she's acted scorned for the whole 6 years this year we've been apart even though it was her fault and and she's just had a baby with some other poor soul ?.
But can't see her damaging the car her weapon of choice is the kids ?

Might be alright to get repaired?

Rear one definitely repairable, not sure about the front can't find source of puncture

Serial number is on the rating sticker or etched on either the side of the inner door panel or on the top of the inner door.(inside edges of the inner door)

A heat pump isn't a hard job, once you have access unless it one of those with the Zeolite assembly...then it's bloody murder. I can normally have one done in about 40-50 mins, start to finish and tested.
Most common cause of them failing is blocked spray arms or filters along with lack of salt.

This probably deserves its own thread but I’ll post it here anyway… Who the hell decided that cutting a slice of toast corner to corner was preferable to cutting it properly in half!

I grant you maybe just maybe aesthetically it might narrowly have the edge on cutting it down the proper middle but that’s it, presentation value (like plastic flowers) From every other practical sense its lunacy to cut from the corners. There’s no topping that works better on triangular toast
You needn’t bother trying to reply back defending the practice because you’re already wrong before you type anything!

Possibly even worse is cutting it in half lengthwise,
Special place in hell etc etc ?

I love Marmalade and I adore honey
So cut the toast in half (properly) and have half a slice each of my faves
lockdown bliss ?

 

[chrisd]

Sorry, but cutting it at all is just wrong.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Sorry, but cutting it at all is just wrong.

Well you could have a slice of each, but then you’d soon look like Imurg ??

 

[bluewolf]

Exactly. What kind of dainty fingered weirdo cuts toast?

I always saw that as a hotel thing, a vain attempt at making toast seem posh whereas in reality it's just toast. Does anybody do this at home? Surely not ?

On the nail sir, on the nail.

Breakfast at home this morning, couple of poached eggs and triangle toast. I did mention it but was called a few names so I had to let it drop...

Mrs Wolf does it and doesn't like it if toast is cut anyway other than triangles. She says triangles make it taste nicer.

Latest COD update has knacked the game and it won't load ?
So much for getting up early for a quick blast before the missus rises.

Do you manage to keep a straight face, avoid rolling your eyes at that??

My new pedal bike hasn't arrived yet. I know they said it will be here no later than next Wednesday but I'm impatient.
