Guilt aka "Polar Bear Syndrome"

    Over the past day I have no doubt been responsible for the deaths of at least two polar bears and three endangered species of "South west Dublin blue speckled naturalized toad".

    Last night I put the heating on to constant instead of timer, resulting in a boiling house in the morning.

    My guilt was only confounded when I checked the oven just now - it has been on accidentally for nearly 20 hours.

    Firstly, how will I survive this guilt? And secondly, when should I expect the greenies over to molest me? Although, on second thoughts, I hope theyre cute greenies. Droooool

    I'd advise you to stay away from national geographic and animal planet for the next few days.

    Why in the hell would anyone have their heating on in July? The oven is understandable...but the heating? OP has to be female..they're the only ones constantly whinging about the cold and swanning around the house wearing light clothes.
    Screw the planet, but why waste the gas/oil?
    ...and yes, it is a waste. If you're cold put on a bloody jumper.

    LOOK

    You killed that cute little thing OP. YOU MURDERED IT.
    Just so you could feel a little bit warmer in the middle of summer.

    I hope you're proud of yourself. :mad:
