This Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i Junior started leaking from the head of the heat exchanger after its service(not by us). And it is a 15 year old boiler, so no surprise there. We are replacing it with 32CDi Worcester Greenstar, 10years guarantee. Another nice & easy job and customers loved it that we did early morning as they demanded.

Bella Italia

Your Summer in Italy is definitely going to be one to remember....

Feat. Jim from the Delinquent Season

Request - Yes

Warning - smut (kinda from the offset...), age gap relationship

Taglist @queenshelby @margoo0 @janelongxox @peakyscillian @ntmynouis @elenavampire21 @being-worthy @noctvrnalmoth

You've been working at the Sapienza University in Rome for the last 6 weeks, helping your father who was teaching a Summer School class over there. Originally from Dublin, you'd come to Italy for the summer with your parents initially for a vacation, but you got bored quickly and ended up helping with the admin side of things as an intern, whilst taking a summer class yourself in Piano. You'd had dreams of being a concert pianist since you started playing 13 years ago, your grandmother leaving her piano for you in her will when you were 7 years old. You'd fallen in love with it immediately.

All was going perfectly, except for one thing. Interns regularly worked in teams of 2, and you'd been paired with Jim. A Dublin man who despite being 10 years older than you, was the most attractive man you'd ever met, with the most exquisite ocean blue eyes and floppy brown hair.. he was simply perfect... And quite the distraction. You'd worked together for two weeks, and you knew he had a son - his wife had left him for someone else and taken their son back to Sligo where she was originally from, for reasons you didn't ask about, and he'd come out to Italy to get away from it all and take a semi sabbatical.

After three days, you'd shared a secret kiss in the small office you worked together in, after you both stayed late to help with paperwork. Your father was none the wiser, and he'd never find out - it was a holiday romance, that's all, and you were just having fun.

Which is exactly what you were doing sat on your desk at 7pm one Monday evening, under the pretence of 'working late', with Jim's fingers buried deep in your core, thrusting them in and out of you, curling them up perfectly to hit your g spot every time. His mouth took you to highs you'd never been to before. Your body was rocking against his hand, your orgasm building up quickly.

"Oh god... Oh god.... Oh god...." You moaned, as your back arched and you came hard over his hand, your hips bucking wildly.

Within seconds of your core exploding, he'd pulled down his jeans and entered you swiftly, lifting you off the table and pushing your body against the wall, thrusting upwards into you like a piston. Neither of you wanted romantic, you were both primal when you got together physically.

"That's it y/n... Good girl... Squeeze me... Fuck...." He was panting now, his pubic bone hitting your swollen clit eliciting a deep groan from your throat. The way you mained during sex turned him on no end, you could feel his cock twitching inside you.

"You gonna come Jim? You gonna fill me up?" His lips met your neck, biting and kissing lightly.. you'd need a scarf tomorrow..

"Fuck baby.. I'm gonna cum... You ready for this?" Your legs were tight round his back, nails scratching his shoulders as you felt him thrust hard into you and cum deep inside you, his thick release coating your walls. He panted into your neck, as both your bodies calmed. Pulling out of you and handing you a tissue to clean up, you both redressed and headed out the door like nothing had happened. Suddenly he grabbed your hand in the empty corridor and pulled you into him, stealing a long passionate kiss before pulling away and heading back to his room on campus. That was new.. normally he wasn't interested in anything once he'd had his end away, why did he kiss you?

Prior to coming to Italy, you'd only had sex with one guy who, frankly, never fulfilled your needs. Your sex drive was incredibly high, and he simply couldn't keep up with you. Your twice weekly trysts on a Monday and Thursday evening with Jim were proving to not be enough either, you found yourself wanting him daily, almost hourly...

"Hey, y/n, can I borrow you for a minute?" Jim asked the morning after your 'meeting' at your desk. You nodded, and he took you down the corridor towards a small janitors cupboard at the end. What the hell was he doing? He opened the door, pulled you inside and locked it behind him.

"Where did you get that key?" You asked.

"The janitor is easily bought..." He moved over to you - this was definitely new. The university was full of students and teachers, you'd never met up for sex on anything other than a Monday or Thursday evening when it was deserted...

Pressing his lips to yours you melted into it, tongues meshing together. His hands pulled your maxi dress up over your hips and sat you on a small filing cabinet in the corner. Kneeling in front of you, he pulled your underwear down your legs and kissed along your thighs. Another new thing... He'd never pleasured you this way but you weren't complaining.

His tongue licked up your open slit slowly, your hands were gripping his floppy brown hair as you groaned, bucking your hips upwards to meet his mouth.

"Fuck yes.. Jim..." He responded by taking your clit into his mouth, pulling on it. Two fingers entered you slowly, pulling forwards to find that spot inside guaranteed to make you flood him with your juices.

He started pushing his fingers in and out, picking up the pace as you panted above him. "You need to stay quiet... Can't have people hearing what I'm doing to you now, can we..." He moved back up, his fingers still buried knuckle deep inside you, as he placed his other hand over your mouth to stifle your moans. Pulling you slightly off the cabinet to an almost standing position, he leaned into your ear and began whispering, edging you closer.

"Ride my fingers... Make a mess for me baby..." He kept his hand as still as possible and allowed you to control the movements. You ground your hips in circles, and back and forth, aiming it perfectly so his fingers reached your g spot with each movement. His mouth was on your collarbone, groaning into it, knowing how much it turned you on when you could hear him. His hand was still over your mouth as your moans intensified, your orgasm edging closer. His lips next to your ear again.

"You gonna cum?" You nodded, and he panted in your ear, his moans sending you over the edge as you shuddered, coming undone over his hand. As you rode out your high, you heard him unzip his jeans and spin you around, bending you over the cabinet as he lined up behind you and thrust inside, bending over your back, the angle hitting your sensitive spot over and over hard. One hand was still over your mouth, the other pulling your hair as he pounded you. Your legs were shaking as you felt his cock twitch inside you, and moments later he came, filling you and sending you over the edge again.

Pulling out, he lifted your body back to his, facing him again now as he kissed you deeply, confusing you even further. The kiss felt more passionate and loving than normal, his lips lingered and he ran his hands softly through your hair.

"Jim...?" You asked, cautiously. "Jim what's going on?"

"Nothing, just needed to feel you.. you okay?" His eyes met yours, and he tapped your nose against his.

"I'm fine..." You lied. You weren't fine. You were falling for him, but you'd always assumed you were just a fuck - now something felt like it was shifting but you weren't prepared to get your hopes up on a man who was 10years older than you with a child back home. He kissed you again, and pulled his clothes back on, before a quick glance back and a smile, and he was out the door. You didn't see him again for the rest of the day.

The following morning, you came to work with a slight spring to your step, only to find your father in your office with a young lady you'd not met before.

"Y/n, this is Kate, she'll be working with you from this morning." You raised an eyebrow, shocked.

"Oh... Hi... Erm... Where's Jim?" You asked, smiling politely at Kate.

"He flew back to Ireland last night - he and his wife are trying again apparently, isn't that amazing! Y/n, you okay?" Your heart sank and you felt sick. Your face must've turned a shade of white.

"Um... Yes... Sorry Dad, yes I'm fine.. can you give me a minute I think I've eaten something that hasn't agreed with me.. sorry Kate I'll be right back..." You ran to the toilets down the corridor and locked yourself in a cubicle before throwing up violently. Sinking back against the door, you couldn't stop the tears. You knew he was married, but he said they'd separated, there was no chance of reconciliation after she'd cheated on him... And yet here you were, clearly having been lied to and used.

You pulled yourself off the floor and cleaned yourself up, before heading back out. Swallowing down any feelings you thought you had for Jim, and replacing them with hate and anger.

Good riddance.

Age Is Just A Number...

Request by: @missafairy​ Hello :) How do feel about an age difference, post-sex one-shot? Alternate universe (no hunting), consensual, not underage but quite a big age difference (like at least 10years) where Dean is like freaking out because he's Dean and doesn't want to destroy the girl's life?

Pairing: AU Mechanic!Dean Winchester x Reader, Dean Winchester x Bobby Singer.

Word Count: 1370

Warnings: Implied post smut, implied car smut, Mechanic! Dean, yes that is a warning. Language, insecure Dean, A little Angst, Fluff if you squint. Age gap. (10 years). I think that’s it.

A/N: Hope you enjoy this one, because it is a little different than my usual, and I do hope this is okay as far as filling your request! As always all mistakes are mine! Please do not copy my work! Feedback is golden! Hope you all enjoy this one!

Dean was bent over the hood of a ‘68 Ford Mustang in his Uncle Bobby's Garage. This particular car had been giving him quite a bit of trouble today. The manifold that he was replacing just didn't want to go into place the way it was supposed to, and the owner would be there tomorrow to pick up his car. 

Normally something as simple as this he would have been able to do in less than five minutes, but he was distracted today, and his mind really wasn't on what he was doing. 

It was on what happened in the back seat of the car he was currently working on during his lunch break, and fun, spontaneous, and exciting as it was, he still couldn’t shake this stupid feeling he had that he just wasn’t good enough for someone as amazing as her. 

After a third failed attempt in a row to get the damn thing to tighten down he threw the socket wrench he was using across the garage, and walked off with his hands in his hair to the open garage door, leaning against the wall, breathing in the thick summer air, and letting it burn into his lungs.

"What's wrong with you boy?" Bobby asked, walking around the garage with paperwork in his hand from his most recent tow, the same grumpy expression on his face that Dean had become very accustomed to over the years. 

"Nothing, just can't get the damn intake manifold to tighten down, that's all." 

Walking past him his nephew Bobby threw the paperwork down on the cluttered, dirty desk in the corner of the room before going to look at the manifold that seemed to be giving Dean such a fit. Picking up a socket wrench that was laying on the ground over by the wall of the garage he made quick work of tightening everything down into its place. Dean just stood there looking at the car as if it had personally offended him, and he hated the damn thing.

"There," Bobby said, dropping the hood on the car, and pulling the grease-stained rag from his back pocket, wiping his hands, and looking at Dean in a way that said he was reading his mail without Dean even opening his mouth.

"Wanna tell me what's got your panties in a twist boy? Because there was no reason you should have been having that much trouble just to tighten down a damn intake manifold." 

Dean walked over the old Dodge pickup that was parked next to the mustang and perched himself on the hood. Bobby made his way over to the small refrigerator in the corner of the shop, grabbing two beers and passing one of them to Dean.

"It's Y/N, I'm thinking maybe I should break things off between us," Dean said, picking at the label on the beer bottle he was holding before taking a deep swig of it.

The cold beer felt amazing going down his throat, soothing his overheated body in probably the most unhealthy way possible, but he didn’t care, it was just too damn hot out today, and this beer was too damn good to nurse.

"Why? She's a sweet kid, head over heal for your dumb ass. Why would you want to break things off with that girl? I saw her up here bring you lunch earlier today,"  Bobby said, eyes narrow like if he could reach across the garage without having to actually move from his seat on top of the desk he would. 

Dean just shook his head, looking anywhere in the garage but in Bobby’s direction.

"Spill boy, I damn near raised you, when you was a kid and did something stupid I beat your ass for your own good, and if your about to do something stupid as let that girl go, I'll beat your ass now. So you better cough up a damn good reason why you're being such an idjit, but cause I like that girl."

Taking a deep breath Dean looked at his uncle for the first time since they started this conversation, but he knew the old man wouldn't let it go until he told him the truth about what was going on in his head.

"I'm not good enough for her Bobby. She's young and smart, and fucking gorgeous. She's got a damn good job, she's got so much ahead of her. I'm WAY too old for her. There are 10 years between us. I'm a mechanic. She's a RN. I drink too much. I'm covered with issues man. She doesn't need any of my shit. She needs the chance to find someone her own age. Some doctors or something she works with, someone who can take care of her and give her the life she deserves." 

Bobby said nothing during Dean's whole little rant, just let him get it all out. 

"You finished throwing yourself a little pity party so I can tell you how stupid you sound," Bobby said, no hint of amusement in his voice.

"Dean that girl loves you, and you're right you don't deserve her, but if you throw that away you will live the rest of your pathetic miserable life regretting it. People like her only come around once in a lifetime. You give this up and it will be the biggest mistake you ever make, and one you won't get to take back. She doesn't care that you are a mechanic, or that you've got issues, point to me one person out there that doesn't have issues. That's no reason to fuck up a good thing with a good girl just because you are feeling insecure about yourself, and got all in your feelings. Stop worrying about age differences. Age is just a number."

Dean couldn't look up at his Uncle, because deep down he knew he was right. 

"What if she wants to have kids, by the time the kid turns 10 I'll be in well into my fifties."

"Then you should have plenty of life experience, and by then that you will be able to give your kid a much better life than your father ever gave you," Bobby said coldly. 

That's what Dean liked about the man, he had no filter and wasn’t afraid to tell Dean when he was being fucking ridiculous. 

"I can promise you this Dean, whatever excuse you make won't be good enough to leave that girl. Period. Now go clean your ass up, go home to Y/N, and show that woman how much you love her before I kick your ass six ways from Sunday," Bobby said, pulling out Dean's paycheck for the week, and handing it to him before leaving the garage. 

Dean shook his head looking down at the check in his hands. He honestly didn't know what he'd ever do without that grumpy old man, but he did hope when he got older, that he'd be half the man that he was, and he was thankful every damn day that he had him here with him because he was more of a father to Dean than he ever had. 

Bobby was right, Y/N was his everything, and if he threw it all away now he deserved the ass kick that he had coming his way. Sure their relationship wasn't exactly conventional by most standards. Y/N was way out of his league, and he probably was too old for her according to most people, but he didn't care. Bobby was right. Age is just a number. It doesn’t mean shit. He loved that woman more than he'd ever loved anyone, and he couldn't live without her even if he got himself all worked up and had to be talked down sometimes.

Dean heard footsteps making their way through the gravel driveway to the still open garage doors. He smelled her perfume before he even saw her, and it smelt like home. She was his home.

"Hey, handsome. Ready to go?" Y/N asked, as she leaned against the opening of the garage, and smirk playing on her lips, and her sundress flowing in the summer breeze. She never failed to take his breath away, and as soon as he saw her smile at him, all his worries seemed so small.

"Yeah Sweetheart, let's go home."

Jibun Wo No More, Code Geass Gets New OP / ED for 15th Anniversary Broadcast

Image via Netflix Japan

  It's time to pour one out for "Jibun wo!" as the iconic opening from Code Geass will be replaced for the 15th anniversary broadcast of the series this October in Japan. Don't worry though, the song will still play in our hearts and karaoke boxes.

  Don't fear, because FLOW is returning to perform the opening theme song once again, with TK from Ling tosite sigure performing the ending theme song. Both of the untitled singles (for now) were created with the team behind the original anime series and will have new animation.

    The rebroadcast is all part of Code Geass' "Next 10years Project" which will see a brand new anime titled Code Geass: Z of the Recapture, which follows on from the film Lelouch of the Re;surrection. The original Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion TV anime series will air once again on the Animeism block on TBS / MBS from October 1, the exact same timeslot it aired in 15 years ago.

Research Library Exercise 4th September 2019

Today we went to the library for a tour. We began on the 3rd floor. We were shown the printers and copy machine and how to use them. We were shown the quiet room and also the photography section on the 5th floor. After this we were given a sheet and asked to find a photographer that we had never heard of and discover their work, their career and anything we consider significant to making them who they are. I was drawn to a couple different black and white photographers. 

Josef Koudelka (HERE, 2019)

As soon as I opened the book about Josef Koudelka, I knew I had found the photographer I wanted to learn more about. The dramatic and punchy black and white images in the book, which is a Photofile published by Thames and Hudson, pulled me in from the first page, to the last. 

Upon further research I learned that Josef Koudelka was born in 1938 in the Moravian town of Boskovice, Czechoslovakia. Between 1956 and 1961 Josef studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague where he received his degree in aeronautical engineering. Simultaneously, he was photographing Gypsies (the Roma, being drawn to their music and culture) in Czechoslovakia and the Prague theatre (for the magazine Divadlo). He spent many long hours with the Roma; their nomadic lifestyle suit him. By 1967 Josef had given up his career to become a full-time photographer. (LensCulture, 2019)

There is a stark honesty in Koudelka’s images. When I look at them, there is no deception. The viewer, at least for myself, can live in the moment with these beautiful people, partake of their rich history and ancestry. I feel their dignity, their community, love and their pride.

Another of my favourite images below.

Carnival in Olomouc, Czechoslovakia, 1968.

In August 1968, two days after Josef returned from capturing images of the Gypsies, the Soviet military forces of the Warsaw Pact invaded Prague. He was there to capture it all. To get the real story of the invasion out to people, his negatives were smuggled out of Prague to the Magnum agency, and published anonymously in The Sunday Times Magazine in New York under the initials P. P. (Prague Photographer) for fear of his family’s safety and his own. In 1969, Josef was anonymously awarded the ‘Overseas Press Club’s Robert Capa Gold Medal’ for those very photographs.

It was Magnum that later recommended Josef to the British authorities. Josef applied for a British 3-month working visa and fled to London. He arrived in 1970. Josef then applied for political asylum and began working for Magnum in 1971. He stayed for over 10years. After that he wandered Europe with little more than his camera. Koudelka sustained himself and his work with grants and awards. He continued to exhibit and publish his works such as Gypsies (1975) and Exhile (1988). 

He received support from his friend Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French Photographer. Josef became a French citizen in 1987 and was finally able to return to Czechoslovakia in 1990. He began working on the project Black Triangle documenting the wasted landscape at tip of the Black Triangle's foothills of the Ore Mountains, located between Germany and the Czech Republic. (LensCulture, 2019)

This is not a story this is my life.

I know this is nothing new to read and everyone is ‘trying’ to spread awareness. I know when I read them I feel like it's still been sugar coated and make it sound like a pity fest, no-one with a mental health illness of any sort want pity, they most likely want to crawl into the dark hole and go back to sleep.

I stuffer from depression and anxiety and I thought I would give you a look into my life of what actually happens in my day to day life and how I feel. I’m not looking for attention or I doubt anyone will even read this (my life is boring) I just want people to know these awareness posts you see on social media and short little twitter ‘awareness’ are mostly been written by people who don’t actually know anything about been depressed or having anxiety its just what they think it is or what everyone says it is. I’m not saying they are wrong but something always feels off to me when I see the posts (this is just my opinion don’t come for me please). I’m not saying they are all bullshit and that they don’t actually know what it feels like living like this the actually might but its just my opinion.

But yeah i’ll just get right to it i guess so most of my days don’t start in the morning most of mine start from 12-3pm. i know this isn’t anything new to anyone who may work nights but i actually should start work at 9am at the latest, luckily i work at home and look after my brother who has autism, i know i should be up and i should be looking after him and most of the time i do make sure i am, as it is my job and i don’t want anything to happen to him but sometimes i just can’t get out of bed and he does know to come and get me if he every needs anything at all or if I’ve over slept he knows to come and was me I’m not all bad at my job i promise i do make sure he is always ok. i mostly sleep in the latest on weekends when my mum is home so i know everything is taken care of. i don’t go to sleep at night, in the night no one i know is ever awake so i know i can’t upset anyone or do anything wrong that’s why i like to try and stay up until 6-7am, at night i feel like i can actually be myself but most of the time i stay awake and worry about things that i might have done that day, that month or something i did 10years ago. i have such a bad memory i mean i forget to eat in the day or even forget what someone has said 2 seconds after its come out of their mouth, I’m an actual mess but you can damn bet that if I'm feeling bit shit i will remember that i pulled a push door back when i was 15 and still think that people remember me doing that and think that I'm basically a twat that can’t read.

i find it easier to be awake at night as the darkness kinda feels more like home than the sun and i know that sounds daft but id prefer if night was classed as the day and we all slept in the day, i think i wouldn’t actually hesitate to go outside as much i think i wouldn’t be so insecure because no-one would see my flaws as much and i think a lot of people would actually feel better… idk just a thought i always have all the time.

so finally when I'm awake at around late dinner time about 2pm maybe 3pm (weekend) i lay in bed and actually think why have i woken up and hope I'm still asleep and dreaming because i can’t think of anything worse than actually been awake in a day i don’t want to be living, i always feel like I'm taking up room in the world and taking air away from someone who needs it more than me and who’ll appreciate it more than i do. 

It's hard because I don’t want to die but living seems more of a death sentence than death itself. I'm not suicidal I'm not a harm to myself but why is death meant to be the worst thing in the world but yet life is more hard and painful than death…

so once I'm actually awake and gone through the whole why am i awake i finally go down stairs to which someone will always say ‘good morning’ i know they say it in a joking away but i can see that they mean it and that i disappoint them and they think I'm just lazy and need to get my sleeping pattern under control which i don’t disagree with i know its fucked but i go to make a hot chocolate like everyday i sit down have a cig and then watch some telly while everyone it walking around me and its like those music videos from early 2000s where everyone is in time-lapse and I'm sat still. i have no feeling or emotion i try and communicate with my family and i know my mum try with me and knows how and what I'm going through but i almost want to seem fine and not put strain on the family she don’t need her time taking up by her depressed daughter who's going through somethings when her son needs the attention and is her shadow she’s got enough going on. after been downstairs maybe forcing a smile and a laugh out for a few hours i go back to bed and go on a game, watch a film or have a nap, i don't go out much as I’ve cut most of my friends out not because i don’t want to be friends with them anymore i really do but i don’t want to be the one they have to watch out for and burden them with problems that 60% of the time are just made up situations in my head. i haven't told them about anything and i know they’ll think I'm the worst person ever and they'll probably think that I’ve replaced them with my boyfriend which i haven’t I’ve been with him just over a year and I’ve only just recently cut people out of my life i just can’t be that friend anymore that they deserve because they are actually amazing and i do love them more than anything and i hope that one day i can be back to the person i once was. i used to be the joker of the group and try and always make them laugh with some joke or one liner or a dirty joke and it’d make me feel like i had a place in the group but even then i was struggling with depression and i just can’t make a joke any more or have a smile on my face or laugh, i want and i will get back to laughing and joking around with them but right now while i write this i can’t bring myself to doing that and i feel its best for them to live and laugh and go out have fun with each other.

the thing thats getting me through every minute of the day is knowing that even during the most aggressive thunder storm after the rain has fallen and the sun starts to appear a rainbow shines out and something beautiful comes from it and i know depression isn’t anything like a rain storm but it helps me with the thought that one day i will see that rainbow again and the sun will come out and i won’t be scared to stay inside in the dark i will walk out the door and look up and see that sun and rainbow shining down on me. what is happening now and how i feel right now won’t last for ever just like the rain it will pass and i will become the person i want to be again. 

Non of this will probably make any sense. I'm not the best at putting my thoughts down into writing but this has helped me and i hope it will help someone else who may feel like this as well everything will get better might not be today might not be tomorrow but one day you will be the person you want to be and when that day comes you will be stronger and you will b able to look up and see like its the first time and not look down at the floor.

somethings have been changed in this as i would like to stay anon because this don’t need to have a name or a face to be said. thank you, and if anything in this has strung true to you or going through anything depression, anxiety or anything just know you can get help so many places you can ring and contact can even email if you don’t feel like you can talk on the phone write it down it might help. 

Whenever you are ready to reach out someone is always ready to listen and help.

Change is Inevitable!!!

A pics full of bullock carts got replaced by the one with automobiles. The famous scene was of London Railway Station and the year was 1910 & 1920. Within 10years, the years old preferences got replaced by the automatic engines. Source: Internet It was not the first incident but a part of series of changes the world has witnessed in a century. With the advent of mobile phones, the marketing…

Tankless Water Heater or Nah?

My water heater (40 gallon gas powered) is leaking. Need to replace it, it’s 10years old and past warranty. Apparently this is normal, and tanks last about 10 years apparently.

Considering tankless - have heard of the benefit, but have no experience with it.

Questions: - Do they need annual maintenance? I hear they do. I’ve never had my current tank heater maintained (maybe that’s why it broke) but I’m pretty sure regular tank heaters don’t need yearly maintenance.

Any other considerations?
