    İs that safe?? i know the pipe has to be placed well away from open windows so that fumes dont get 'dragged' back in the room--shouldnt the exhaust be clear to let thing blow away!
    It's cool, de1amo its a water pipe for the wee drip from the boiler condensor in the boiler which is why it freezes.

    I live in the home of Land Rover ;)
    Sadly I am not cooking, we're round at my mums so if you can stand my FIL moaning about what a hassle Christmas is come on over ;)

    Ahh, not too far then. :D I can cope with the FIL...he'll soon change his tune. :p

    "Christmas is no hassle at all, but who's this flippin' bad example bloke? How do I get rid of him? He's eating everything! TAXI!" :rotfl:

    And no Bargainbird there's nothing going on ;) :rotfl:

    Yet. I'm going to ply her with sherry. ;) :whistle:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I'm not sure. I live in Walsall. I know HappyIdiotTalk is in Halesowen, so that's not too far.

    Safe to say I'll be at your house before I get to see jackieglasgow. :whistle: :rotfl:



    well we would have loved to have had you here, but I am further away than your parents, so no point really, shame :D:rotfl: would have been nice.


    Pollys, glad the op went well, take it easy xx

    <RETCHES> Sorry I don't "do" sherry.
    Now vodka and rum.....hmmmm well that's a different kettle of fish.

    Just wondering though exactly what will you be plying my husband with :rotfl::rotfl:

    Trust me on the FIL - you won't change him. In fact he'll just depress you by going on about how much fat and calories are in the Christmas dinner alone and how booze and salt are bad for you :eek: :rotfl:

    NPM - thanks for the link. I will play it when I can actually hear it :o WM and kids don't make good bedfellows for sound on a lappy :o

I Work wioth a chap who lives in not far from brosgrove, he came into work today late by train. It loooks like they had my share too. He thinks about 6inch fell last night ontop of the 4inch that fell at the weekend.
