No-one better than your mates
 
Been having a bit of a bad run of luck recently,kids in hospital,parents passing on etc.
When I thought it couldn`t get any worse,the gas board came round yesterday to fit a new meter(every fifteen years apparently)and discovered we had a leak(never smelt gas thou)the leak was bad enough for them to cut me off there and then:o:o:o
Couldn`t trace the leak,only got a cooker and a boiler and they were both ok:puzzled: My worst fears came true,the pipes under the concrete floor from when the house was built were almost definetly the cause:o
So a quick call to me mate Tantrum(Numptystrada pilot)he surveyed the problem and by tea-time tonight he had got one of his guys round and a whole new gas line had been fitted from the meter to the boiler and cooker:)


Mates hey,the best thing in the world:roll:

Just when I thought things were on the up,with Cristians(my 11 week old son) blood transfusions starting to pull him out of the woods:saint:house now re-gassed and my bike coming back Friday:D Low and behold we have no heating and hot water again:sniff::mad:
So a quick call to me mate Tantrum:cool: AGAIN and he diagnoses a burnt out circuit board in the boiler:pig:and yet again I`ll be in his debt as he`s coming out tomorrow with a new circuit board;):saint:
For he is a star!

Hey, Sparkin, two things: One, you need a new assistant. I mean really. Two, you haven't got one of them Ideal Standard Icos boiler. Apparently, they all fail on the circuit board. Mine did, when we were on Holiday a fortnight ago.:mad:
