Can anone remember how Ray Mears lights fires?
Yesterday, our boiler decided to leak gas all over the place and then do a forced shutdown and refuse point blank to restart when the nice emergency gas leak man from Transco came to secure it.
It turns out that this was because it had fried the control circuit board inside itself, so until that gets replaced (monday earliest) we have no hot water (except for the showers which heat thier own, and whatever we boil in kettles or on the hob) and no central heating.
The result is that the house is now colder than a snowman's jockstrap. We've tried to get some sort of heating going by putting two fan-heaters on the ground floor and hoping the hot air from them will "filter up" 3 stories.
This appears not to be having any noticeable effect.
So does anyone have any bright ideas, before I start burning my lecture notes for warmth?

Comedy 'wear more clothes option'. In a non-comedy sense.
And as long as you still have electricity, just keep making hot drinks. And filling hot-water bottles if you've got any.

All stay in one room, have lots of candles if you have them, and if you can do it halfway safely with you all squashed in one room, do the flamethrower thing with a couple of cans of hairspray, thats very good at heating the air.
And have lots of duvets and wear lots of clothes, and keep all computers running and all doors to unused rooms closed. Those rooms can be cold, keep the heat for the rooms that matter.

Re: Can anone remember how Ray Mears lights fires?
Am I desperate or what?
I've started up that stupid SETI@Home screensaver thingy so the processor is at 100% use in the hope it will generate more heat.
There does seem to be a nice warm draft comming out of the back of the PC - maybe if I shut the door it might just do the trick.
*shiver*

The thermometer in the hall is reading 9C.
This house must have a serious heat leak somewhere.
Stupid Victorians obviously weren't as good at building as they liked to think.

Just so you could claim the size of your manhood was down to the cold. Go on - admit it!

Re: Can anone remember how Ray Mears lights fires?
Didn't you show it on your webcam?
[edit]
Bugger this.
I'm going to go turn the electric hob on and sit on it.

When you scorch your bollocks, send Idi a PM and let him know how painful it is, it may make him feel better about his sore knob.
