Re: Comfortably numb......
Because I moved in back in August 09 - as they know cos the oopened an electric account at that time, its just the gas department that are idiots!! They can verify that with the letting agents, so I wouldn;'t get out of paying it.
My landlord with his trusty bag of screwdrivers has fixed the water heater anyway, so I do now have hot water at last!!

Re: Comfortably numb......
Ahhhh the sounds of a peaceful Brisbane evening....possoms rustling about, the wind through the trees, distant traffic, and the student next door who has been playing scales (badly) on the piano for nearly two hours......seems the guy in the house behind us has finally had enough as the phrase "Shut that effing noise up or I'll effing smash the effing thing over your effing head" is now echoing across the hillside Don't think he's very happy!!!!

Lucky ladies, here we had freak humid weather reminding us of the vile rainy season that has to be endured in June/July. This year will be killer with the elec restrictions...fans let alone air cons may well be stopped in trains etc

Don't know much about the Japanese climate I will admit - is it a monsoon type rainy season? Or just constant drizzle?

Re: Comfortably numb......
Yeah its wintery now, weather is tolerable for about 4 months It doesn't get too bad here, might drop to single figures if we're lucky - gets colder further inland, and further south. We get the effect of the Pacific here which keeps the coastal strip warmer, plys we don't usually get affected by the winds from the Antarctic, which make it cooler further south.
