Il y a de l'eau, plein d'eau, qui sort allègrement du robinet, mais elle est froide. Froide comme le radiateur...
Scène 2 : je cherche un plombier-chauffagiste. L'installateur de la chaudière fait ça, mais on ne s'est pas vus depuis longtemps et il ne se manifestera pas. J'en trouve un, évidemment, c'est cher. Je me demande mentalement si je peux encore me payer mes billets de concert.
Scène 3 : un chauffagiste passe une heure dans la chaudière éventrée, pour m'annoncer que ça va marcher, puis en fait, non, il fallait bien changer les électrodes, mais il y a autre chose parce que ça marche toujours pas, ça pourrait être le ventilateur ou le circuit ou... là, je l'arrête, mon expertise comme mon intérêt pour le sujet se limitent à : ça marche, ça va coûter tant.
Scène 4 : j'explique aux vikings comment on se lave alors que l'eau sort froide du robinet. Médusés, ils m'écoutent détailler des pratiques ancestrales d'hygiène avant l'invention de la chaudière à gaz.
Scène 5 : un nouvel intervenant va farfouiller les entrailles de la chaudière et tente de m'expliquer pourquoi ça ne fonctionne pas. Je lui montre mon chéquier et je lui demande de m'appeler à la fin, quand je serai vraiment utile.
First scene : It was late on friday (maybe late like in the middle of the night), naked and chilling, I was about to take a shower. It's a little cold and I'm delighted with the idea of hot water flowing. There's water, a lot of water, flowing happily from the tap, but it's cold. As cold as the radiator...
Second scene : I'm looking for a heating engineer. The fitter who put the boiler do that, but we didn't see each other for a while and he didn't call back. I find one and of course, it's expensive. I'm thinking about my concert tickets.
Third scene : A heating engineer spends an hour in the open boiler, to tell me it will work, and then, no, he had to change electrodes, but there's something else, maybe the fan or electrical circuit or... I stop him, my knowledge as my interest are low, like : it works, here is the bill.
Fourth scene : I explain to the vikings how to wash themselves when the water is cold. Astounded, they hear me tell forever customs that existed before someone invented the boiler.
Fifth scene : A new engineer comes to rummage in the boiler and tries to explain me why it doesn't work. I show him my chequebook and tell him to call for me at the end when I'm useful.
