bizzard Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 All you need is a hot water bottle, hot water and string. Place hot water bottle full of hot water on the old napper, bind around it with the string to hold it in place and tie off under the chin with a nice bow. Make sure the stopper is not cross threaded or it will leak and either trickle down your face making it look like your crying or down the back of your neck or onto either ear depending on how the head heater is worn. They can be bought with wooly jackets on em too, ''Aldi have them in at the moment'', which would look nice on the ladies especially, and if flowers and shrubs are poked into the woolyness of the jacket would also act as camouflage. Birds might alight on it though and peck around a bit, but this would add to the camouflage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray T Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Bizzard, when cruising in winter have you thought about connecting the hot water bottle to the engines cooling system? You would need an in and an out. By doing this no worries about the bottle getting cold and having to stop to refill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his own in and out, therefore wouldn't need the hot water bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddevel Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 As heat rises serious consideration should be given to slip on shoes/boots fixed to the deck and linked to the engine cooling system. Obviously things like foot size (one fits all) should be given with quick release and isolating valves in the event of an emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Best version I saw was 'The Crazy world of Arthur Brown' many years ago when he sang 'Fire', just stuck a kind of saucer thingy on his head, filled it with paraffin and set fire to it. Those were the days. None of that awful bland boy band stuff. Seem to remember seeing Keith Emerson attacking various instruments with an axe as well. Proper music.

Murflynn Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 what we really need Bizzard to develop is a full immersion suit fitted with flexible central heating micro tubes running up one leg, around the body, down the arm and round the wrist, back up the arm, over the head (hood in place) and then down the other side, the tubes to be connected via special bootees to the calorifier circuit, with automatic release valves so the wearer can disconnect himself quickly in an emergency without losing the heating fluid. Of course some form of thermostatic control will be need to avoid slow-cooking the wearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be on to something there. Setting fire to a boy band has a certain appeal, I'd give good money to see that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you absolutely sure about that? I just worry that Bishops Stortford might become the new Pyong Yang. You know, lots of dangerous technology that really needs to be controlled. Today electric ear muffs, tomorrow thermo nuclear kettles. I just hope GCHQ are keeping an eye on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbfiresprite Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Needless complex, better to go down the electric heated clothing route. Most items on the market use 12V, just plug in to your 12v socket and enjoy the heat. Heated Jacket Heated Hat Heated insoles Heated gloves Heated Trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irob Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Jeez. I wondered why i hadnt seen victory v,s for a while. So thats why my mum put partially sucked ones under our pillows at night. She said they were for the tooth fairy. Arnt mums devious ? She never sucked a Fishermans Friend as far as i know, and i never saw her kissing Santa Claus either (..or is it ether ?).
