Helf - Hot water heaters - anyone know about them?

[azzam]

A - To hell with little men and their lifty things. I shall be standing on the washing machine tomorrow morning all by myself.
I'll let you know what happens next. I expect I shall be wet though.

B - Gosh, that's fairly interesting.



Nice avatar.

... and? What happened?

[azzam]

Oops...hang on

[azzam]

So, I got up on a ladder and after carefully checking for spiders, I held on to the rafter of the roof.
And then, the ladder wobbled a bit and I got a fright, but I didn't fall off. And then, I reached around the tanky bit and got hold of the little lever thingie and lifted it up. And then I heard a hissing noise, which was a bit scarey because it reminded me of that night we saw the cobra at A's house, but I couldn't see a shovel anywhere, so wasn't quite sure what I'd do if I saw one now. And THEN!! Water started coming out of a pipe down at the bottom of the ladder so I let go of the lever because I wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen.

Edit: That only took me six minutes!!

[Bender]

I wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen.

It was. Has it changed anything?

[Burbage]

It's called an airlock. If that worked then I win the dollar!!

[azzam]

Ummmmmmmm................

You'll have to wait until I have a shower again. Next week.

Don't worry Azzam. If your shower's not working by the time your weekly shower comes around, I'll come over with a bucket of water and me marigolds and give you a scrub down.

Not so fast Monsieur Burb - the bet relates to Aliya's hot water (or lack thereof).

Azz - Next week? I'm visualising you in a whole new way, and talk about dragging things out.

[Burbage]

Well come on Aliya! Start bleeding!

[azzam]

Oh all right then, I'll do it now, if only to avoid Spike's marigolds.
Just waiting for it to heat up enough.

[azzam]

OK, so I did some exercise, so I could legitimately have another shower without causing global warming. Sadly, it seems to be much the same, so I guess I stick with shorter showers. I'm unlikely to freeze to death anyway.
Thank you, gentlemen, for the suggestion. Bet's still on for Aliya. ( She shouldn't be shaving her legs anyway, waxing is the way to go )

[Bender]

So, I got up on a ladder... bla bla... That only took me six minutes... bla bla... OK, so I did some exercise...

That was exercise?

[daffodil]

Of course. Exercise is in the thigh of the beholder...

[Lichtgestalt]

Are you English? Thought you were a Kiwi... or is this your colonial heritage?

[azzam]

Of course. Exercise is in the thigh of the beholder...

And my thighs are thertainly thometing to behold. Or tho I've been told.

[Bender]

I can lift that little lift it thing and see what happens!

Hey Aliya, it's been a while. Have you lifted the little thing yet? Hurry up! There's serious money riding on this!

[Aliya]

I've been in Godzone for 2 weeks, just got back, nothing appears to have changed, havent paid him either and asked him to see if it needed bleeding, he wobbled on about warranties and speaking to the people who sold it to him, heat levels etc, need to corner him this week and see what he has come up with.

[Burbage]

For Pete's sake Aliya. Just give Fat Bob a couple of beers and let him get on with it.

[Aliya]

So I dont have to give him a steak or a BJ? Phew. OK FB, you're on

Or I could stand on the washing machine and try that little lever myself. Better still will get Mr G to do it, he is a self professed useless man about the house but I am sure even he could manage this. Maybe. Will report later, he is coming tonight.

[Aliya]

Bender, my hot water tank is on its side does that make any difference?

You know when Az said "B - Gosh, that's fairly interesting."?

She was lying.....
