Central Heating back on

road_high

So I've thrown on the heating again after 2 or 3 months...just cold and misearable. What have we done to deserve these 3 awful "Summers" in a row
As if we weren't depressed enough

I thought this summer was great, you'll always get bad days. It's not the end of the world.

Ah Jaysus would you not just throw on an auld geansai if you're a bit cold?

We used deodorant and Mr Sheen we shoulda just stayed smelly and dusty and then everything woulda been ok.

It's cold? I thought this summer was quite ok. A few days of rain and it is a terrible summer?

What are you on about?

Did you miss the five or six weeks of lovely weather?

It was lovely and warm only a few days ago.

I've had the heat on for an hour at a time once or twice over the last week. The mornings and evenings are a bit cooler now, and today I've had it on a couple of times [/aul wan]

I could count the number of blue skies sunny days we got in Dublin on one hand. You're all mad if you think this is a good summer. We don't get one in Ireland. Save your money for a holiday on the med if you want sun that's what i do!

You must have a severely deformed hand with dozens of fingers then!

Central heating sucks, it dries out the air

nothing beats sitting in front of a nice fire

Flyer1

Same in my house today

Kiera

Dont mind them OP, i've had mine on today too.

road_high

I won't . Had it on for an hour, take the chill out of the air.
Granted the weather has been warm and muggy, this has been another washout summer. And I don't think it's looking much better any time soon

mike65

Turned mine on in last few nights for an hour, just to take the edge off the evening chill.

Tis a joke.

I just spent the last 7 days working outside clearing trees and I was only rained off for 20 minutes twice. I got sunburn on the back of my neck. While it's pissing rain today the temp stat in the house read 18/19. It's all in your head.

crosstownk

It's wet but it's not cold. No need for the CH to be on at the moment. The temperature gauge in my house hasn't dipped below 21°C in months.

afatbollix

july and august is irelands wettest months... i dont know why you are all complaining...

ps. put a fecking jumper of OP...

ejmaztec

It's because of Lisbon. If we'd voted for it the sun would be shining out of our arseholes.

If you have a job: you should be grateful to be able to have heating.

If you are a student: get a job and stop dossing around the house.

If you are unemployed: you are a parasite and you don't deserve heat that is subsidized by my taxes.

Is there any other AH bases I haven't covered?

A few days of rain!!?? What are you going on about?? Its rained pretty much every day this month, and on the 24th July it was already the wettest July on record:

A decent insulated house does me.
I dont think its cold at all tbh

anniehoo

I stuck the fire (electric) on for a half hr earlier..just a tad chilly alright!

Is it or is it not true that we've been having less rain in the winter mths (nov-jan) than the summer ones?

Heading to Fat Boy Slim on Sunday...dya think i can figure out what to put on me? I have the farmer wellies, rolled up Dunnes rain jacket in a bag and summer top ready to see what Sunday brings...unreal!!

I had the stove lit yesterday to heat a bit of water , turned on the rads for half an hour too it was a bit chilly in ahloooaaane.

I'm currently experiencing a week of solid 30*C weather. Which is slightly ironic in that I much prefer it to be too cold than too warm so if anyone wants to swap let me know.

Caoimhín

I was cold the last few nights.

And i am a hardy bastard.

In All Fairness

Brother just gave me one of those electric oil radiators. Anyone know if they're any good/expensive? Thread has me tempted to take her for a test spin.

Put on a jumper.

I put the heating on whenever I want a shower, so it's on for about half an hour at least every day of the year.

God, my Brazilian housemate has the heating on every time I get home. Not sure exactly what to say to her. Yeh, she comes from Brazil and it's hot there, but every night? In the summer?

presume he means he put the heating on for half an hour a day to have enough hot water to have a shower, probably has the rads off



i was cold last night and put on the heating the room went from 22c to 25c,

just thinking now, 22c is warm enough,

but i was only wearing a t-shirt and jeans with no socks or shoes, when in winter i would have had a ganzie and socks on, so 21 would be toasty

Well I love a cold bedroom. I sleep with the curtains open and all the windows open. I have a big duvet and lots of blankets to keep me toastie.
