Boiler pressure was going up ever so slightly every day.
Asked ChatGPT.
Told me to disconnect the filling loop and see if it stops.
It did.
Bought a new service valve. Β£55.
Fitted it. Back to normal.
Watch out plumbers, AI will stop you from charging Β£200 call out fee π
If you want a definition of crab mentality, read the comments.
It's always someone else's fault!
Minimum wage is nearly at 30k per year now in the UK.
A big mac will be a tenner soon.
Your food shopping is going to go through the roof.
Meanwhile if your worked hard, the tax threshold hasn't moved.
A minimum wage shouldn't be that high. It's called the minimum wage for a reason. You're not meant to earn much.
This is just another kick in the teeth for hard working people.
Don't get me wrong some people on minimum wage work really hard. But you're not meant to be on the minimum wage for the rest of your life.
This is why the cost of everything is spiraling.
Freeze it.
This country used to reward the right people.
Now it's the less you do, the more you get.

If what's happening in France doesn't wake the UK up I don't know what will.
We got a friend who's a health visitor in the Leeds area.
She's saying the UK is getting invaded. She sees families of asylum seekers everyday. She told us these are on the priority list too.
They don't speak English, multiple kids, get given a 4 house semi and moan about it.
I'm all in to help poor/struggling people.
But what do these people bring into our society?
Socially? They can't even speak English. No integration possible.
Economically? They do not work. Only get benefits. They just take out of the pot, they don't add anything to it.
I grew up with parents who were teachers, and in fact a lot of my family work in the education system.
Always been taught to be tolerant and to love each other, blablabla.
Bollocks. We get brainwashed from reception to university so then this chaos is allowed to happen.
Wake up people.
We're in danger.
So @samfendermusic managed to get the tickets for his gig down from 120 to 85.
Greedy c***s haven't won that war.
There's enough money for the artist, the venue, and the middle man.
We get scammed every day. On everything.
14th in the queue for a doctor's appointment whilst ringing bang on at 8.30am.
It was easier to get tickets for the Oasis gig.
To all the lads who've been told if they don't work hard at school they will end up on a building site, well done!
You got yourselves a forever job.

The NHS is just a big old farce.
Did an "eConsultation" thing on the NHS app with my GP.
GP asks if I can come in at 4.45 today. I said no I'm not available but I can do tomorrow around 4pm.
GP tells me the diary is not open for tomorrow. Got to ring first thing in the morning.
So the GP wants to see me, but I can't book the appointment.
The NHS is probably the worst health service in Europe.
It is not fixable.
Apparently it will be set in Paris.
Gandalf the White in the middle of the looters belting out "You shall not pass" will be biblical.

Cost a brand new kitchen : 30K bare minimum.
Cost of a new floor and re-spray : 3.5K.
Sometimes you don't need something new, you just need a change.
People always ask me why would I move to the UK from France?
I don't think I've got to answer this anymore after yesterday.
Videos I'm seeing on my timeline are heartbreaking.
Such a beautiful country ruined.
Ruined by what?
By years and years of low funding of the public services.
Years and years of questionable immigration laws, where communities are starting to get bigger and bigger, and are not integrated at all.
There's thousands of people who couldn't work yesterday. They couldn't go to work. Their shops have been ransacked.
The government is not protecting people who wants to GO TO WORK.
And you know what makes me want to cry my eyes out right now?
It's about to happen here. We're on the same path. I see things in the UK I've seen 20 years ago. 15 years ago. 10 years ago.
It's coming. And we're in a terrible position for this to happen.
Brace yourselves.
People are really confused by this.
It's all about doing it legally.
I'm a legal immigrant in the UK.
The people coming in on dinghys are not. They don't have any paperwork.
They don't come to England for the weather. Wake up.
Today I learnt the hard way that Greenwich is pronounced Grenitch.
Been a while since I made a fool of myself.
Me on Thursday to the gaffer : Can we have a review of my day rate in the near future?
My boss :" Will have a chat on Friday π"
Me Friday :
My white flag and I would go to war for the UK.
Brits are fannies.

Vous savez ce qu'on dit...
A 20 ans si on est pas de gauche c'est qu'on a pas de cΕur.
A 40 ans si on est toujours de gauche c'est qu'on Γ pas de tΓͺte.
Jβai exactement eu le mΓͺme cheminement intellectuel que Louise.
Au LycΓ©e, jβΓ©tais de gauche par naΓ―vetΓ© : "la guerre et la pauvretΓ©, cβest pas gentil ; il faut donc taxer les milliardaires".
Jβarrive Γ la fac. Je vois tous ces crasseux. Je suis mal Γ lβaise. Mais, je reste encore un peu idΓ©aliste. Je vois les 1ers blocages, je vois des Γ©tudiants issus du peuple, qui bossent pour financer leurs Γ©tudes supplier, pleurer en AG et supplier de lever le blocage. Γa me bouleverse.
Après, je constate que la fac est un champ de ruines : des tags, de la merde dans les couloirs, des canettes de bière partout, des restes de joints.
Je me dis : "si cβest Γ§a la gauche, ce nβest pas possible". Je suis perdu, parce que je pense aussi que la droite est mΓ©chante, parce que jβΓ©taus conditionnΓ©.
Puis, les Γ©tudiants hostiles au blocage se sont regroupΓ©s. Je les ai rejoints. Il y avait de tout : des maurassiens, des UMP, des libertariens, des nationalistes divers. En discutant avec eux, je dΓ©couvre des gens intelligents et cultivΓ©s. CβΓ©tait des gens ouverts aux antipodes du sectarisme gauchiste. MΓͺme les vrais "fascistes" que jβai frΓ©quentΓ©s Γ©taient moins "fachos" que les antifas. Je me mets Γ lire des auteurs quβils me conseillent. Γa allait de Joseph de Maistre, le contre-rΓ©volutionnaire, Γ Ayn Rand la libertarienne, en passant par BarrΓ¨s, LΓ©on Daudet, Tocqueville, etc..
Et lΓ , cβest le dΓ©clic. Cette pensΓ©e de droite, tant carricaturΓ©e, devenait la voix de la raison.
