Honestly, just decided to take a break from forums and what not for a while.
Got a diagnosis for my Autism, worked on my mental health for a bit.
And then real life happened…. Dad passed from aggressive bowel cancer, (from fit as a fiddle to in 6 weeks, at 60 years old).
And it destroyed me.
just coming out the other side. Moved house and built an observatory, started flying lessons.
life is too short.
etc etc.

This is wild.
Get your boilers serviced, regularly.

A shitty old boiler that's never been serviced should still be fine - they have multiple redundancies to prevent things like this. But old copper pipes snaking around beneath floors? And old gas fires that have been disconnected? That's a different matter.
I found this beneath my floor earlier this year. Old gas pipe for the front room fireplace. I'd had it disconnected and capped in the room above 20 years ago, but it was probably installed 40-50 years ago. You can see verdigris where the pipe touches the joist. Who knows when that corrosion (from the wood's moisture content) might have created a pinhole leak?
My neighbour's house had a gas lamp fitting in the bathroom. Sometimes things like this just get left alone as "it'll be reet".

Using far less chemical fertiliser still produces high crop yields, study finds
Climate-friendly practices can increase yields while improving ecosystem of farms, scientists say

So sorry for your loss.
You're so right. Life is fleeting and precious. Whatever you do in life, enjoy yourself.

It's not hard to believe there are more guns than people in America when you see family collections like this...
That's fucked up. I bet he's given them each names
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : How many counts in that movement you just executed?
Private Gomer Pyle : [hard and firm tone] Sir! Four counts, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : What's the idea of looking down in the chamber?
Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! That is to guarantee that the private is not giving the inspecting officer a loaded weapon, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : What's your fifth general order?
Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! The private's fifth general order is to quit my post only when properly relieved, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : What's this weapon's name, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! The private's weapon's name is Charlene, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : Private Pyle, you are definitely born again hard! Hell, I may even allow you to serve as a rifleman in my beloved Corps.
Private Gomer Pyle : Sir! Yes, sir!
