Random musings and general banter.

What's going on? Why is she still on and for how long? I can't stand this all night!!

Out of the blue, this afternoon, just found out that my middle dog, Otto, is very ill. Life turns on a sixpence. No shopping TV today.

So sorry to read this about Otto.

Just turned on for a second and sally flogging xmas bags.

Thank god for Sally and her great ideas, if it weren't for Sally we would still be stuck back in the 1960s, who knew you could use bags & tissues paper for wrapping presents, heck i didn't.

Or @Battiola73 could just stick to using their boiler and central heating and enjoying hot baths whenever, a warm house, and not have to pay over the odds for this inefficient (and likely more expensive to run) item IW is flogging.

To be honest, I read the quip you're poking holes in as more of a wry observation than a statement.

Less about whether central heating can or can't be configured, and more about the fact Ideal World's presenters glibly gloss over the everyday practicalities of doing so, telling old folks watching, many worried about heating bills, to go and turn their central heating off and 'av a buy.

'Don't heat your whole house, heat the room you're in - that's what smart people do, and it saves you money, so get this while we've got it, loads of people are coming in now I've said that… web's gone berserk… I knew it…'

So yes, it is possible to have hot water with the central heating off.

If people are happy to do that, and want to buy the electric fan heater/ceramic radiator/oil/halogen lamp/whatever IW is selling as the panacea of all panaceas this week, have at it!

But I suspect most would do the obvious:

1. Save money by not buying an electricity-sapping heater from IW
2. Use your existing central heating system
3. Adjust your thermostat/timer to suit
4. Turn radiators off/down in the rooms you don't use

For the best money-saving heating tips, I hear Chef Mark is the man to ask… Water + electric grill = instant heat.

Yes, I know, just felt like pointing out the technicalities.

I think just heating the room(s) you're occupying, is a reasonable strategy, and just possibly you might turn off the gas CH completely to save wear and tear and costs and just use an efficient heater in the room.

We do this when we haven't turned on the winter heating yet, as it's been quite mild so far.

Sally is saying a shopping TV Presenter once done a 24 hour shift. Any idea who.

Only person I know who done a 24 hour Telethon, was a former This Morning presenter

This is the Ideal World myth continually put forward by its presenters. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics essentially states that heat always spontaneously flows from Hot to Cold. So how can you possibly contain the generated heat in just one room especially given that the internal walls in houses are not insulated?

Quite easily actually.

I have all the internal walls in my living room covered in tin foil ... and the window ... and the doors.

I do not leave the living room all day. I have a kettle and basic supplies to keep me going food/drink wise.

When I need to emmm, how can I say this, relieve myself, I have a bucket (with lid.)

So again, I have proven how it's EASY to follow IW's advice when it comes to heating.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Well I have to say that you’re all wrong!
I have a very eco friendly way to heat my room. I have 1 IW presenter sitting in each corner and gently massage their ego’s and off they go spouting hot air!!
Can’t stop ‘em babbling on and on and on…warm as toast!

Sallys gone

 

[Jazzydrury]

We’ve treats tomorrow Peter is doing a Wednesday evening shift, and then our favourite South African presenter pops up

 

[Jazzydrury]

Tomorrow morning at 10am, it’s down as Katy who is she

Is Chef Mark in your kitchen

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Sallys gone

Yup! I think someone needs her…… to sit on top of a bonfire

 

[Jazzydrury]

50 wallets left, Yiannis says you can buy 49, I want one, Yiannis you sold it the other night, why didn’t you order one then you Knob

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Is Chef Mark in your kitchen

hadn’t thought of that! Now you come to mention it..blu ddy hell smoke coming under the door

 

[Scraping the barrel]

…and I hope that whichever bonfire she attends that someone sticks a rocket up her ar*e and sends her into orbit.
Can you just imagine? She would become a second moon…but a moon that doesn’t stop fu**ing talking..(Sally I’m on about)

Credit where credit is due… At least they are trying something different this morning with The Dick Emery Hello Honky Tonks Hat Collection Extravaganza…
