Well said, PR, but frankly your bastardisation (is that a swear word) of my beautiful nomenclature has just crossed the line!!! Joking apart, if you react to swear words negatively you are giving people an enormous amount of power over you. If someone notices you go ballistic when they say a particular word they know exactly how to push your buttons. Unnessecary and repetitive use of swear words is dreary as is the unnessecary and repetitive use of any word, so I do get irritated by people who say the likes of "I went down the f***ing pub to get a f***ing pint and some f***ing f***er knicked me f***ing lighter!" intensely annoying - all due to the unimaginative nature of the conversation, not the particular words used.

t w a t now THAT word just makes me laugh. And when someone calls me that, I just laugh and that then makes them angrier and call me something else. As someone once said, "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me..." No, it wasn't me.

    • We used a firm called Smile air con to do ours. Very simple and quick. Also there is another firm in Herne Hill we have used to service ours. Couldn’t live without it now
    • Does anyone have any moving boxes going? Can be shabby! Thanks

    • OK so we are having our annual conversation about getting aircon fitted, as our west-facing loft turns into an ACTUAL FURNACE whenever the temperature goes over 25 degrees. (It's 33 degrees in here now and that's with the blackout blinds closed all day.) We have Velux windows that are hinged in the middle so I think a portable unit is out of the question as it would be a nightmare with the vent. So maybe we just need to bite the bullet and get a proper unit installed. Has anyone had experience of doing this, particularly in a loft? Any things to watch out for/recommendations for installers, and would you be willing to say how much it cost (I'm seeing wildly varying prices quoted online)? I know it's a lot of money for only a few days a year but as the summers are getting hotter it's becoming more of an issue every year. Any advice appreciated!
