Surely the fact he's managed to start this thread gives the lie to that observation?

Ye but your Mrs was trying to cool the planet using the cool air from the house. Not the other way around. As such the idea is sound. Just that in practice you would not notice the good work much and as you point out your house ends up hotter inside. So the physics is sound, but the exercise is fruitless and backfires when you go back indoors. :wink:
Not my missus!
She warms the planet by incessant talking!
They say never marry your boss and my Mrs wasn't the boss before we were married. :lol: :D

Shefull...? You'll have to elaborate Ekim. Peak District born and bred sir.
Whilst my digs were in rural Nottinghamshire, the landlady and husband were both born and bred in Sheffield, had strong accents and pronounced Sheffield as 'Shefful'. I've always thought chuffin' was also from there as I've not heard it since except when I use it.
All best to you too sir.

Ahhhh ok got it, yes we're 12 miles from Sheffield.

We have a mate we call Chuffer, as he never swears but says chuffing instead, this is true: He had all 4 wheels nicked off his Astra GTE back in the day, left it on bricks when he was on a night shift, when he saw it he was livid, absolutely raging, as you would, and shouted, What a chuffing chuff up..... :lol: :thumbsup:

True enough Paul not much point is there......the gates will have fallen over by themselves with your welding by then..... :poke: :poke: :evil:

Not even started the underground welding yet as the box is as rusty as the underneath of your M :D
