I think it’s usually a valve outside, can open it with radiator key, square head on it.

How exactly do you drain the boiler Curra? From one of the valves at the boiler? 

My boilers losing pressure most days and I think I can hear a slow drip.

Turn the boiler off. Shut off everything and drain down. There should be a wee brass fitting outside low down which you can open using a radiator key. It can take a wee while to drain down mind.

Funny I could hear that same noise round Acey's mums bit last night.

Just fell on my arse trying to grit my drive

Can't wait til the inevitable pain hits later.

There doesn't seem to be much snow or that yon Edinburgh way. There was fuck all in Glasgow yesterday either, starting to think my wee toon was the only one getting it over the last few days.

It’s meant to get properly Baltic overnight for the next few days. Got thermals on under my suit trousers as I speak.

Can I just take this opportunity to say that I actually think that Chuck Kelly was very brave and cool for posting about falling on ice the other day, contrary to my earlier jjyay.

In unrelated news, I came off my bike on the fucking Mound due to slipping on ice. Rekt my trousers and am grievously wounded.

Some tourist must have caught that on video surely.

One of those where you’re going “haha lol the only thing that’s hurt is MY PRIDE lol” to concerned passers-by, while sobbing internally.

Wind up, back to using the tram for the work journey tomorrow.

Karma is real

Can only imagine the ‘ick’ you were putting on show whilst scrambling your belongings and bike together in front of everyone.

I'm calling Acey "troosers" from now on.

Fucking minus 7.

Temperature worse than a Hertz GD column.

Buy a couple of electric heaters then, innit.

I need the money for what I'll know doubt get burnt off the plumber. He said on the phone, It's usually 70 quid an hour but it'll be 120 since it's an emergency call out. I said, it's no an emergency because it's been like that for days. He said, right, I can still come at the same time on Friday for 70 quid an hour. Chancing bastard

You got house insurance?

Mate, i don't even have gas in here, man the fuck up 
You can get a heater to at least heat one room for like 15 quid.
