Guavanaut posted:I've seen smaller ones that are about the power capacity of a typical domestic air conditioner external unit for around £5-6k, I guess they're just for doing your shower and hot water, but yeah, ones that replace a whole boiler are even sillier prices at the moment, and if even those are only putting out 50-55C then that's alright for doing the dishes but it's going to mean serious reduction in heat output from your radiators. Yeah you need low temperature radiators or underfloor heating and potentially zone control so you're only heating the rooms you're in as well.

Sounds like a giant faff tbh. If I'd need to replace all the radiators, and the boiler, and have half the floor up I'd just cap and drain the lot, run 6" duct down the chimney breast into a vent in each room, and have an air-air heatpump for less than half the price. The zone control's a lot cheaper on that too.

The alternative being heating oil, which is just a fancy name for diesel, which sits in a 1000l tank in your garden. I guess you could have an electric boiler for your hot water but that's a lot less efficient than a heat pump and suddenly you're back up to the same price anyway.

I don't know what Baxi Bermuda is but I'm picturing one of those old back boilers behind a beige plated gas fire that made you crawl on the floor underneath it to blow the pilot light. Those things used to be a standard in RAF provided houses.

I like that they've tried to go for a themed character for each country, and then one character for the whole nation, except for some reason England is represented by the Union Jack instead of the St George's Cross I mean it totally makes sense given how England and Britain are always conflated Edit: also just absolute lol at the tagline: https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/1230243160112148480 It actually strikes me as a cynical jab. "England fights for England, not the UK"

No Excalibur, no sale. Does anyone else remember a UK-based anthology series by Marvel from the 90s? Had new characters - Motormouth, Hells Angel, some knights, and some mercenaries working for the bad guys.

I wasn't too bothered by this - it's not like Captain Britain hasn't been a thing since before I was born - until I read it and hooooooly poo poo. One of them is just called 'Snakes'. Because of St Patrick and the snakes in Ireland. See? SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

The 1st engineer that looked at it said it was corroded, leaking and clearly hadn't been serviced for donkeys years. I don't know how the family in the house before me avoided blowing themselves up/ gassing themselves.

It was a forum for comic nerds. I used to post there. I remember one time a poster (almost certainly an American) came up with ideas for superheros from outside America. They were....pretty stereotypical to put it generously. I remember his idea for a hero from England was a guy who had the ability to grow super large and have a really loud voice. His name was Big Ben. Reading this article, I just flash backed to reading that post. I mean, Snakes? At least the Choir doesn't get her power from down the mines.

"the only snake left in Ireland" sounds like it should be a children's book that tries to teach kids to be understanding and not judge people for being different, but accidentally has a messed up race-existentialist message because animals are poo poo metaphors for people.
