stupid

Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or wit. It may be innate, assumed or reactive. The word stupid comes from the Latin word stupere. Stupid characters are often used for comedy in fictional stories. Walter B. Pitkin called stupidity "evil", but in a more Romantic spirit William Blake and Carl Jung believed stupidity can be the mother of wisdom.

    stupid boiler designs

    Went to a Glow worm extra fast which think is a saunier duval in disguise which had a dodgy thermistor. but why oh why is the pump head is facing the back of the boiler that must be a right git to change or bleed if you've got big hands like mine. why would you design it like that.

    LPG gas flow rate stupid question

    this might sound stupid but i have a glow worm cxi24, the manual says the Maximum heating gas flow rate is kg/h 1.44 does this mean that if i have a 47kg gas bottle, it will last 33 hours (47kg/1.44kg/h=33hours) as i am trying to work out why one cylinder has lasted me 4/5 days

    Most stupid thing you've been asked to quote for.

    I'll kick off. Been asked to quote today for installing a beautiful roll-topped bath in a house today. Wouldn't be a problem with it of course, except they wanted it installed in their cellar, which happened to look more like a dungeon. And there was an old drain in the ceiling where water...

    Stupid soil vent question.

    Well it looks like I'm gonna FINALLY do my own tiny bathroom. I have just enough room to get an 1800 bath in, but annoyingly I have an internal stack boxed in at the end of the existing bath, so here's the question (cos my college training is hazy). Can I reduce the vent size of the stack into...

    Am I stupid?

    Think I may have blown an opportunity to get in with a fairly major letting agent today, they called me out to a boiler breakdown on a Worcester Bosch 240. It's a big old ****er that is older than me, so no diagnostics. Just plain old fashioned boiler. To cut a long story short whilst...
