Quiet Around Here

Is been QAH as the washing machine broke down on Saturday and just got it fixed today :thumbup:

When the engineer arrived he asked me what the problem was so I told him the error code and helpfully added I had looked it up on the official website and it said "Program Selector Error". He then said that was the wrong meaning for that code and they never divulged the real meanings for the codes as they would have people fixing their own problems and doing them out of a job ! He said it was a "door lock selection error" and fixed it pretty rapidly. I know he was telling the truth as he left the parts behind and you could see where they were burnt out. We got the machine with a one year manufacturers guarantee and the vendor John Lewis threw in an extra year's guarantee so it didn't cost us owt. I will be taking out a further policy though as he said it would have cost me over a £100 for a callout plus the price of the parts :thunbdown:.

My boiler stopped working last weekend, just as temperatures dropped to around freezing :w00t:

The plumber had a look at it, it is the thermostat... Not the boiler, phew! Bought a new thermostat on 't internet whihc has just arrived and handed it to the plumber who is going to fit it at some point today, once he has finished his job here at work. Hopefully he won't charge me for 3 call outs, as he has been to look at it twice already

I was called out to fix a customers computer yesterday.... I blame them as they really need to stop relying on 15 year old servers! :w00t:

We gaffer taped it back together with bits of scrap that we found lying around the office.

I think we need a "Today's Domestic Appliance Problem" thread

I saw some mince pies too Alf.
I am not sure about this... I love mince pies, but if I start eating them now, it'll take me until Xmas 2013 to lose the mince pie weight. :closed:

Just wondering which race I should do first? Nothing too hard..

Not done a fell race for over 2 years. Not done any other sort of race for over a year.

IDP inspired me to start looking yesterday.
