Ok I have a bit of an issue here. I've caught my boiler... whistling. At me. And several times too.
The obvious explanation is, of course, that is a bit jealous that he'll never make water as hot as me. I'm very flattered of course but to be honest I kinda liked him better silent.
Also I suspect he might feel a little lonely too as he sometimes does it in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason. So I go check on him, I've even nicknamed him Georges now so that he feels more cared after. Sometimes I even talk him into being quiet again, it works, and if it doesn't I gently slap him (no worries guys Georges doesn't bruise easily) and that seems to shut him up again (well, or not, sometimes Georges is facetious).
A part from that Georges performs well, and on demand too. I'd be very satisfied if it wasn't for the feeling that my little Georges might be having a bit of crisis and that things may go worse. I wouldn't like it too much if he started shouting or exploding at me for example, or if he decided to sulk badly and stop heating.
I'll call a boiler-mariage councellor, you know those guys with all the adequate tools and skills, if I knew one that I could trust, but I don't and I'm afraid they may abuse of Georges' and my distress to charge us for something not quite real.
So does anybody ever had a similar issue, and do they know how I might try and content Georges again so that he goes back to his much more appreciable silent state ? Without hurting his feeling preferably, I'm sure he would be very affected if I was to tell him that he had to go because I needed to install GeorgesII. :eek:
Any advice much appreciated. Thanks :flower:
