I've lost my brother, where are you Ian? Are you okay?

In other news we got surveyed by Ipsos MORI today as part of the Living in Wales survey. It was quite fun really, although a lot of the questions were about our plumbing. Turns out we're a high-income household: although individually we don't earn a lot, collectively we're rich because we've got three earners in the house. So why am I always broke?

Our boiler is now fixed: there was this switch, you see, that said 'immersion' on it, and Frodo and I thought 'but we don't have an immersion heater thingy' so he switched it off. And then we forgot that we'd done that, and didn't think of it until the second plumber came out and said it seemed like there was some kind of switch cutting off power to the boiler somewhere between the main fuse board and the boiler itself ... now we feel a bit stupid, and our landlord isn't all that delighted at having to call out two repair-people for no reason.
