just a little insight to the weather we are having up here.

Just check as much of the pipework as you can incase its burst!

You blommin Scots

You keep moaning about the weather and the cold

ITs simple

Turn the heating off

Drain all the pipes

Drink Laphoaig without ice

We ( Me and Sir Ramic ) Have to drink Bathams just to keep warm

I was woken up by a loud gunshot type bang last night, closely followed by another about minute later. I woke hubby up and asked if he'd heard them too and he said no, obviously he'd slept through it. I then spent the next 20 minutes looking out of the windows seeing if I could see anything and moving from room to room listening for any water dripping. When I got back to bed and told hubby what I'd been doing, he said "you'd hear it if there was loads of water dripping" to which I replied, "not whilst you're snoring your head off I won't"

But in all seriousness, it did sound like a pipe had gone bang or something. Has anybody heard a water pipe go bang before and what did it sound like?

Have you ever heard of 'Exploding head syndrome' Liz? If not, google it, here is one of many links, but it sounds like that is what you may have experienced, and no, don't worry, it is not a sign of anything dangerous.. American Sleep Association

exploding head??? :yikes: what next?

just reading that link G, it's entirely possible the noises were in my head but I was so convinced they were from above my head in the ceiling area. I'm suffering with sleep deprivation all right, waking every 3 hours at the moment.

Just try to be calm about this, Liz,it may never happen again, or it might, but it is a weird sensation, that's all, so yes just stay calm. Pipes can make pretty loud noises, but the gunshot description made me think it really was one of the many sleep conditions. Have a good day
