I think I've watched one Polanski film, The Ghost Writer, a film about a guy writing Totally-Not-Tony-Blair-With-The-Serial-Numbers-Filed-Off, who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes.

I remember nothing else about it, I watched it because it seemed like the closest to seeing the real Tone face justice

I can't decide if it's the pipe entering the house
It probably is, mains water temperature usually follows 0.5-1m ground temperature throughout the year, as that's where the pipes are


I've seen a very similar curve from warm tap water during the second heatwave this past summer through to showers that need to be turned up full to even get warm during this second chill.

If it lagged by 6 months instead it'd be a lot more convenient for everyone.

The UKMT Fudge Baron


Echoing the chorus to all lurkers- just post. I lurked this thread for years barely posting at all, but ended up launching a thriving business through it pretty much out of the blue and received nothing but kind words and support (and not a single person has raised complaint about the amount of boiled sugar content we have these days).

Like a lot of us here, I’m autistic as all gently caress and thus kind of struggle to build connections but the community we have here has kept me going through some seriously rough times. And if a messed up ex-public schoolboy can be made to feel welcome, no reason anyone else shouldn’t be!

On another note, last week we passed the three year anniversary of my launching Fudjit here, and it’s gone from selling a couple of hundred quid’s worth of fudge to some brave souls here at the arse end of 2019 to a business that’s made multiple tens of thousands of pounds in the past calendar year, and provided employment to three other people aside from myself. It’d never have happened without you lovely folks.

And it’s great to be able to drop the phrase ‘I started with the support of a coterie of internet communists’ when being interviewed by the BBC. Lol.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
We lost heating for a while in I think 2018 when it snowed quite deeply and the pipes from outside froze nearly 1m up so there was no water getting to the boilers (mine and the flat above) and so they packed in.
The landlord came out with a small 'flame thrower' of some sort to thaw out the pipes outside.

Maybe you could get one of those tubular greenhouse things which are low wattage for your attic if they're frozen up there?

They should make boilers proper old fashioned so they explode if they run out of water. Like a sort of landlord natural selection.

Rocket. Desk cat. Trouble.


Malcolm. Still waiting for adoption. Sweetest little dude.


Penny. Rotheram tart. Squeaks like a Guinea pig. No touching allowed. Except when requesting. Loves captain hook.


Rysja. Grumpy Russian babushka, loves travel. Food. Has cancer. Cuddle bunny.


Benny. 3 legs. Demands smooches always. Trouble 2.0


Sneef. No brain, slow. Looks at you and you give him everything.


Captain hook. Forever attached to my wife. 3 legs. Nursed back to health from the size of a bean.


Best way to stay warm.

I tend to lurk and not post, but I am having a poo poo time at the moment and really need to vent.

I've got long covid (referred to long covid clinic today), Mum has just been diagnosed with cancer. Was staying with my parents for a few days - got home and my water pipes have frozen.

I nipped back and all was fine on Monday, but now due to the pipes freezing, I've no heating and no water. Of course, one of the downsides of long covid is really feeling the cold.

Just crap.

That sucks and I really hope things improve for you and your family.

I get that he's bullshitting anyway but as a teacher earning less than 1/3 of what he's pretending to be on (and wtf is overtime as a teacher, other than literally just the definition of the job?) it's hilarious that he is trying to spin some solidarity with teachers. As in, anyone who's earning that much is senior leadership and is officially The Enemy.

Oh, except he's not reaching out to teachers, he's reaching out to your average Daily Heil reader right? To whom teachers are one step above benefit scroungers anyway. I know these people because I've taught their children. Their children are great but they themselves are shits.

There you go, another lurker posted

There's a bit of me that can't help but believe the 75k a year tweets are some sort of counter-op to make people feel like all opposition to the strikes is bot-driven or otherwise paid for. It's the stupidly inflated numbers and errors. £75k might fit a train driver salary, if not a nurse or teacher, but aren't they ASLEF, not RMT? It's also partly because of that "democratically elected government" line, which is a hilarious thing to say given the last 6 months.
I guess people are just memeing at this point.
