    Air Con at Platypus Manor

    I bought a couple of portable AC units, they arrived this morning. Much cooler upstairs now. My office is still 27C so I may have to pinch one back. They were a business expense after all

    We fitted aircon a couple of years ago. Used it 2 nights this year and about 7 nights since we installed it.

    Nice to go to bed in a cool room though

            and these eco loons are telling everyone wind will be providing 30% in a little over seven years time.

            madness.

            the economics of the madness house.

            diver, take that big bubble off your ead, and go and switch the air con off till next winter, when the wind starts blowing again

              Most of that .3% is from the few offshore farms. they are rarely idle so do get to feed in because of mopre accurate prediction .............................Why am I bothering
              I get paid rediculous ammounts to ensure these offshore projects go in safely and cost effectively. My job will be there until I retire

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
