The Year Of The Fox

Demblele reminds me a lot of myself in my peak

I’ve been told by all these companies that they can’t sell tickets separately to the hotel. Even the Barmy Army can’t. My mate was adamant we’d get tickets out there, which I believe we would’ve. But I’m not travelling the other side of the world without guaranteed tickets

Booked with Freedom Experience 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

Me? No. Never been abroad for the cricket before We’ve found some ticket and hotel packages cheaper than the BA’s last night. Freedom Destinations or something alone those lines Living With Lions and Guillivers Travel. I’m pretty sure Guillivers travel were the company affiliated with the FA and England Supporters Travel Club for the WC and Euros though, and from memory they have kept cancelling trips in the past. Hoping to hear from the other 2 companies this morning

The pump won’t circulate the water if the boiler is off. You’d have to put the boiler stat on very low (as well as programmer and room stat), to get the pump to run, but not to feel any heat really coming out of the rads. You don’t really get any debris from a boiler install- flux residue Eg. Unless the installers been careless and has got brick debris into the 22mm flow and returns at the boiler when maybe drilling out the new flue hole. Sounds to me like when draining down he’s dragged some crap further down the pipes, from the radiators upstairs or even from your header tank should you have (had) one. Both instances are pretty much unavoidable. Clearly if you’re getting heat to the problematic rads when turning others off, then the pipes aren’t completely blocked. Why not buy some x400 and stick it in your boiler filter, and give it a run for a couple of weeks? Has the boiler filter been checked since installation to see how much crap has been collected already? If the filter is really bad it’s a good indication of it being sludge in the pipes that may be preventing your rads working properly. Sorry it took so long to reply, I’m still on a 10 post a day limit here 😂

Well, if you’re asking whether the pump will circulate without the boiler actually firing up, then yes, it should be possible. Personally, I’d stick the heating on too though, and if problems with your heating system were made aware to me prior to the boiler swap, I might’ve come round a couple of weeks prior to stick the cleaner in and get it circulating properly. I do sympathise though with any plumber in this sort of situation. Using that cleaner and flushing does not guarantee a problem free heating system at all. Particularly with microbore as it’s renowned for clogging up, and obviously the bore of the pipe is much smaller than 15mm. He might’ve done a flush properly, he may not have, but you still may have had this problem- Plumbing is shit Im assuming you’ve checked all lock shields are open on the radiators that aren’t working? And that TRVs if fitted are fully open and the pins under the head aren’t seized? Have you temporarily turned off all the rads that are getting hot, and tried to force the water through the rads that aren’t working? (Potential air lock) Edit- you’d be able to be certain you’ve a blocked pipe by taking one of the rads off after isolating it on the valves. Once the rads removed you can carefully open one valve, into an ice cream tub or something. The water should blast/spray out if it’s not blocked. Do the same with each valve. It still doesn’t mean the guys not flushed it out properly though, and again, I do feel for a plumber in this sort of scenario. I understand a flush etc will have been part of the quote, and your comeback will be that he’s not done the work as quoted. Believe me though, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the lack of flush has caused this. Like I say, plumbing is shite

Had crossed wires with my mate last night. Thought he’d already committed to Perth flights, but he hasn’t. He hasn’t committed to anything yet. Now sounds like we’re looking at a week in Sydney at his Dads followed by a week in Brisbane for the second test. Off round his house shortly to discuss

Qualified plumber here 👋 Officially you’re supposed to flush the system out again yes. Depending on the chemical cleaner you used depends whether the entire system and each rad needs to be drained. If a chemical like X 400 was used then the system doesn’t need to be completely drained. If you use X 800, which is a stronger chemical than 400, then the system should be drained completely and emptied of all the chemical within a couple of weeks of putting the chemical in the system. It’s possible that draining the heating has dragged crap further down the pipes, blocking them and preventing the radiators from working. I had that happen to me once recently. Is it microbore 8/10mm pipe work to each radiator or 15mm? Note that a flush out as you describe is completely different to a power flush which should get all the crap out, but can leave old rads/pipe work susceptible to leaks at weak points, especially if your new system is a pressurised system. Did you have a boiler filter fitted? These are excellent

Don’t people want him here any more then?

Agreed entirely The Top 4 failings twice weren’t great The result at Warsaw away was embarrassing The Forest FA Cup was humiliating But that Roma away performance was the worst of the lot. Yes I was at all 3.

It’s bucket list stuff for me too My mates out in Sydney seeing his dad and Oasis in early November, so we’re looking at Perth in the latter parts of the month.

Daniel Ward Daniel Amartey Too hot Not backed The bloke was a (I got banned for an entire year on here for expressing my thoughts on him)

Is anyone thinking of going at all? Ive had a bit of a change of circumstances and am thinking about heading out for the first test. I’m no longer in the Barmy Army (though could rejoin I guess) but how easy are tickets to come by for Ashes (a) via other means? Any Ashes away info or experiences would be appreciated

Valid? He wanted to replace players that had got him 5th and 8th place finishes AND an FA Cup win 9 months before losing to Forest because all of a sudden they’d become crap? Because a manager on more money than Ancelotti at the time couldn’t reinvigorate them? He lost not a single player the summer after the Cup win, and also added to the squad. He was basically telling you the signings made in that summer weren’t good enough. He bloody requested them! Take that poisonous dwarfs attitude of throwing the players under the bus and compare it to Pearsons where he’d take a proverbial bullet for them in the media. I wouldn’t want Rodgers in the trenches with me, I know that much. As for saying he wasn’t backed- £220m spent on players during Rodgers’ tenure- the most we’ve ever spent. It’s not the boards fault he signed shite, who played even worse, thus not putting themselves in the shop window for a resale. And when he was ‘backed’ he signed Tete, Kristisnsen and Souttar. Little wonder the board were reluctant to invest in him further. It’s probably the one thing they’ve got right in a number of years. Would’ve still been much cheaper sacking the guy after Warsaw away, compensating him, and getting in literally any other half decent manager who could get a tune out of Justin, Ricardo, Maddison, Youri, Barnes and Vardy Dont let the passage of time fool you.

Brilliant

Really? Arms raised to someone’s face? Textbook red card.

He was my tenant for 6 months, and left at the end of September last year. I’ve emailed them telling them as such. Im not TOO fussed, especially if they visit when I’m home (he’s got 7 days to pay £998 before they visit) but I wonder whether they’ll try to gain access if I’m not in and have paid no attention to my email.

Had a letter from Jacob’s Enforcement Agents addressed to my property, but to my former tenant. He owes just shy of £1k for none council tax payment. It says on the letter ‘Address giving rise to charge’ and then my address. I’ve emailed them informing them he doesn’t live here any more, and that I don’t have a forwarding address. Is the debt to the property or to the person? I had this issue with another house and different tenant, but they were just final council tax demands and hadn’t got to the point of going to an enforcement agent. Looking at this companies reviews online, I’m not anticipating it being an easy thing to sort.

McCoist is on drugs if his doesn’t think that’s a red

Why’s McCoist getting all turned on about a ‘strike’ that didn’t count? 🤣

When Vardy retires, we may as well fold the club.

I meant until the end of the season. Out of work (may be reasons for that!) he’d have seen us a bit due to his punditry Get him in and ruffle some feathers. We can’t do any worse than we are currently

Hear me out on this Roy Keane Not a master tactician by any stretch but my god he’ll have that dressing room squared away in a no time.

Typical Leicester fans too though. Got their knickers in a twist over someone who turned out to be shite
