22nd January, 2025: Lord Byron.
Right: it’s official: my boiler has been repaired.
The loss of pressure that caused the loss of heat and hot water was not caused by the problem I though was causing it.
I though it was a problem with a pressure valve.
Oh, no.
It was a jammed knob.
One that — as it turns out — I could have done myself … if I’d had an adjustable wrench.
At any rate … ?
My boiler’s now working.
About the only issues I have were that fact the repairman turned up at 20:30, after I’d phoned the repair in at 6:30.
And thet fact I’m trying to avoid any sentence with the word ‘twist’ or ‘knob’ in them.
It sounds ever-so-slightly naughty … !

In the wake of Axel Rudakubana, the Southport Killer, being sentenced?
I notice that there’s various points being discussed:
- The ease he was able to buy knives.
- The number of times he was referred to the counter-terrorism programme, Prevent.
- And concerns about him passed to other authorities.
The one thing that caught my eye?
Was that he’d downloaded what’s described as an ‘al-Qaeda terror manual’ known as the ‘DECLARATION OF JIHAD [HOLY WAR] AGAINST THE COUNTRY’S TYRANTS’.
What I’m not surprised about … ?
Is how easy it is to get how of that …
