Having acupuncture needles stuck in my head, neck, shoulders and feet makes me feel very, very weird indeed. :S

One of my housemates is an even bigger twat than I originally thought. Stupid little disabled should be at primary school rather than university.

I hope it's not trams. This city (and county for that matter) is in serious need of some investment and work on public transport but trams is not the answer. The cost of setting the system up would be better spent on reducing bus fares etc.

Trams are a gimmick.

especially when the two planned tram routes for leicester follow pretty much the same line as the only existing train routes...

if they did it from oadby up the A6 and down narborough road and/or fosse road they would be awesome...

A supposedly "workshy" native English ex-con friend has just got himself a worthwhile job - you never saw a prouder or happier bloke. Just his two best pals to sort out now unless the political quota has now been filled.

Today I learned to expect the unexpected, especially if you sit around joking about it two days before and saying "it would make like so much easier". :doh:

I think I had 18. I wasn't counting too carefully, to be honest.

Did you get a splitting headache afterwards, by any chance?

I've also had phenomenal coffee cravings since then, but I was told not to drink any for 24 hours. :cry:

I have learnt that one of my radiators appears not to be working. I've also learnt that I haven't a clue what to do about it other than sit and moan, shivering pathetically, and occasionally kick it in the hope it'll miraculously cure itself. :angry:

You probably just need to let out a build up of air (a bit like posting on foxestalk).

Do you have a radiator key?

At the top of the radiator, it could be the left or right there will be a recess with a square ended peg in there. Carefully start to undo it and you should get water coming out, however if there is a build up of air in there this will come out first - leave it partly open until water starts to flow with no air bubbles in it - then tighten it up again. Be careful not to undo it too far otherwise you'll end up with a very wet floor.

Sorry if you knew all this.

Er, no, I knew none of that. :blush:

Sounds (potentially) messy and dangerous but I spose I'm technically capable. :unsure:

But, no, I don't have a radiator key. (Rented gaff, and I've never seen any evidence of one). :dunno: Guess that means I'm back to kicking it?

Can I get a radiator key from someplace (DIY store)? Are they a generic 'one size fits all jobbie' or do I have to have some degree of knowledge to avoid looking utterly hopeless? :whistle:

They are fairly generic, although I've have come across the odd radiator, any reputable DIY store should have one.

It's not dangerous at all I was just airing any potential problems.

As long as you slowly undo the peg, listening out for the sound of air you'll be ok, also any water coming out will be minimal if you open it slowly. Have a cup of some sort handy to collect the water. Just imagine your trying to fill a teaspoon from a normal tap without wasting water..

It really is quite easy you'll do fine. :thumbup:
