    No I have a fire in the parlour, but the rest of the house is cold


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭patwicklow

    rubbish :mad: chop up the bed and make a fire with it. sleep is for losers anyway


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Top up the oil tank with water and vinegar. The vinegar will kickstart the combustion process.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0

    you are staying in a hotel. Id complain if I was you. what kind of a shambles is the place :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    do what yer man above said(I think he was posting in swahili though), tilt the tank - stick a brick or somthing under the end opposite from where the pipe comes out and you will get 4/5 hours run time. Press the button in on the red box on the burner to get it to re-start, you might have to press it a few times waiting about 20 secs between presses till it fires. That or masturbate furiously, as said before. I'd go with the tilting though- the other could lead to walking difficulties in the morning.

    Close all the doors, keep all the curtains shut. Layer up. Hot water bottle. Blanket. Make sure you're well fed.

    Cuppa tea.

    I havent had oil for the past 2 months. My bedroom is 14 degrees :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 777 ✭✭✭H2UMrsRobinson


    +1 on the tank tilting option

    A breeze block gives us another couple of days out of ours.

    Load up with Brussel sprouts, light a fart in the bed, and the fiery Armageddon will keep you warm for three months*.

    Ive no heating oil either. It's Baltic at my gaff,huddled under the duvet while I browse boards. I do have a great little hot water bottle in the form of a jack Russell terrier:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    The best thing to do is to as one of my friends has done, chopped down a few trees and used it as firewood.

    A hefty tree can keep you going for 3 months or more!

    So get choppin'
