Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-1-2020: Happy Days

15th January, 2020.

Remember, in late October, I had issues with my boiler?

The hot water was coming out tepid, at worst, and warm at best.

I booked up a repair for early November.

I had a total of three visits from two engineers.

With a final visit from an engineer on 6th November.

An engineer prepared to do extensive repair work: but only, eventually, replacing a sensor.

That lasted until late December: then the hot water issue repeated itself.

I reported it — again — and have a repair booked for this afternoon.

Meanwhile, back in the real world?

My hot water finally gave up the ghost on Sunday.

Which means:

• I’m boiling water on the stove, so I can have a bath.
• I spent a lot of time, yesterday, phoning the boiler people to let them know the engineer would need the parts he didn’t install, last time.

In the immortal words of John Lydon?

“Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?”

*        Ah HA!   You’d possibly be better off with Mazogs, then, Olga: you only need up, down, left and right!   It’s an old ZX81 game: and had stunning graphics.   Well stunning graphics … for a computer made in 1981!   (You right: it was 1953: I’m going to have to edit the Wiki page)

†        Glad to be able to help, Debbi.   It’s getting worse, though: YouTube’s throwing Taco’s entire back catalogue at me!   (Is it me, or does he look like Tim Curry … crossed with the Joker?)
