I'm not happy!!
Unbelievable but true. My usual bubbly persona has all but evaporated. Shock horror. But why, you may ask?
Well.... About 6 months ago 'Colin' the combi-boiler coughed and spluttered his last few droplets of hot water and passed away. Bless him. Me being a bloke, i've long since decided things like: toothpaste, deodorant, new clothes, hot water and central heating are the preserve of rich people and as such extravagant luxuries i could easily do without. Afterall, people did OK without these little things a 100 years ago, so what's the big deal?
Everything was going fine until this December when the cold spell hit. As you know, i'm not one for complaining but i was starting to feel the heat a little (or should that be- cold?). No problem. What's wrong with wearing a bobble hat in bed, it's not a fashion parade is it? And besides, in a few days the weather will be back to normal. The Government are always going on about global warming and stuff. Surely they wouldn't lie to people just to rake in more taxes, would they?
Fast forward to the New Year. It's now the coldest spell we've had for about 200 years but i'm still remaining strong, holding out for warmer weather but by now Casa Heckles is like a f-f-f-flaming ice-box. So cold infact (ironically) the fridge freezer has stopped working, gone into hibernation mode. Who's ever heard of it being to cold for a fridge? You'd of thought they'd love it, you know, less work to do.

So now the man that couldn't be beaten by the Luftwaffe and Hitler has admitted defeat to a defrosting fridge. Ohh the shame! I've now got to wait untill next week for installation (you see, it'll be warm outside by then). As i said before, i just don't like frittering away hard earned cash on expensive, frivolous luxuries that aren't necessary. If George Best was alive i'd sell him a kidney because it's costing me 3o cups of tea and circa £1700!! Oh well, bang goes that new pool table for the front bedroom.. pfffft
You must have bought your "Colin" from the same bloody place I got mine. "Crapboilers r us"
