The General Babblings of Chris Wild
Went to a barbeque on Saturday after the World Cup match, so I made a little something to keep in theme… It’s a White Chocolate and Lemon Mascarpone England Cheesecake with Rasberries and Strawberries sat on a Chocolate Hob Nob base…
World Cup, England, Mascarpone, Cheesecake

If you’re not actually out at the World Cup this year watching the football, then can I take the moment to recommend The Great Escapers as a place to follow Andy and Kirsty’s World Cup Adventure… they are both diamond people and I know you will enjoy the read.

Jon Bon JoviI was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There’s a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these daysShe came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she’s trying to be James Dean
She’s seen all the disciples and all the ‘wanna be’s’
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still theres nothing to hold on to but these days

It struck me while watching Bon Jovi at the weekend, that David Bryan – the keyboard player, very much looks like Dominic Monaghan. It could be just me… but you decide…

Bon Jovi, David Bryan, Dominic Monaghan Bon Jovi, David Bryan, Dominic MonaghanMy boiler hasn’t been working for the last 2 months. First it seemed like the pump had gone, so I spent £90 on Labour and £120 on a new pump… since then the boiler still hasn’t worked. It’s had 3 new pumps (which I haven’t paid for), and a number of new sensors. It would run for a while and then stop, usually next morning, from that point on it would refuse to fire up.
Brian, the boiler man has tried his hardest but to no avail. Finally today SIME, the boiler manufacturer came up with the answer; the boiler was wired up wrong when it was installed 2 years ago! The problem appears to be that there should be a connection between the control unit and the boiler that affectively keeps the boiler constantly live, in standby state if you like. This wire, among others, is missing and thus when the boiler needs to power down it just cuts off rather than going into standby. The affect is that the boiler is being turned on/off many many times a day. This has burnt out the motherboard ( don’t let anyone tell you that standby buttons are bad because they use too much power ) and this now needs replacing along with the new wiring… so it looks like another £250 to get it fixed!
