I recently had a massive crisis in the middle of the month after all my bills and expenses had been paid. My boiler broke down on me. Obviously being in the midst of a very cold month this was a big crisis and not really something that I could wait to replace. So I backed down rather quickly and had to take out a same day loans , a bit of a stinger but important none the less.
I then got hold of a Promax HE Plus Combi Boiler. Now this should hopefully be the silver lining to this event as I am assured it is one of the most energy efficient and stylishly designed on the market. It comes with easy access controls, compact dimensions, an electronic ignition system, and was quick and easy to install. I did it myself. It also has a SEDBUK A energy rating, which if you know anything about boilers is one of the best.
Hopefully by the time I have to replace it, it will be because we have invented free energy powered by our minds.boiler.phpImage: eliteheating
Putting up shelves, fixing cars and cutting down trees. All jobs that a ‘real man,’ should be able to with complete ease. Despite this, most men don’t actually have a clue where to begin with any of these tasks, especially the younger generations, however, generally these are all tasks that most men, even if they literally have no idea about the subject, will attack with vigorous relish.
There is just something about them that seems, well, fun I guess. But not all so called men tasks are that fun, sorting out bills for example. As the so-called providers of a family, it’s not unreasonable that men should have some idea about paying bills and finding the best deals, rather than doing what most do and lumping the job to their significant other. It’s just not cricket. But the truth is, once again, and excuse my French, most men wouldn’t know their heads from their arse in this area.
So here is my advise, cease the moment and surprise your partner by sorting out your home a new provider at a rate that’s a lot easier on your balance than your current one. How I hear you ask?
Check out this Compare energy site. The rest is simple, just follow the instructions. A ‘real man,’ can handle that can’t he?

Maybe the idea of tramping through fields just to get a pint or riding around in a Land Rover is one of the ultimate turn off for us, we can’t help but admit that we are envious of the country look. Shooting jackets, flat caps and tertiary tones are a big flavour of the month at the moment with not only us, but men’s fashion in general. Country chic is quickly taking over the male sector quicker than UGG Boots and ‘casual’ trousers took over the female world a few years ago.
If you have been keenly following this craze and kitting yourself out with just the right inventory then I’m sure you too have struggled to find a watch that will sufficiently match the elegance of a tweed jacket without being too stuffy over dressy. For us it has certainly been a struggle of monumentous proportions.
Luckily, the old masters at Cartier have come along to save us from any impending fashion faux pas’. This is the Cartier Tank Americaine, a subtle classic looking face wrapped tightly in a gold frame adorned with a cracked brown leather (get this) crocodile strap. This is a watch that makes a statement without vomiting all over your shoes, the subtle pazz zazz of a rolex without jumping on the band wagon.
Tragically though, it costs just over £8,000, so unless I suddenly find a cheaper energy supplier, cancel my phone bill and move to a smaller house, I won’t be buying it any time soon.
