WELL, in all the days in the calendar there even has to be a special one for the humble radiator.

Yes, October 1 is National Radiator Day and I'm sure it's there on all your calendars duly marked up along with the likes of Christmas Day, Easter Sunday and Halloween.

What can be more important than setting a day aside to enjoy the magnificence of the radiators in your home.

You may have the traditional ones – white and stuck to the wall and doing its business day in, day out, possibly even 365 days a year now that summer is the new winter.

It could even be one of those extra special ones – plonked thoughtlessly on a wall meaning you can't put anything else against it rather than beneath a window. Or it may be one of those modern up-the-wall ones that are always in your face.

It's a way for the radiator industry to push their products, reminding us to fix thermostatic valves at beatable prices.

And then there’s the radiators that are cold at the bottom and hot at the top. They're the bad boys in the radiator world. The hoodies.

Why? Well, they’re full of sludge which can be removed at a usually astronomical cost with the dreaded radiator flush.

And did you know that if you don't dust your radiators the build-up of dust between the convection fins can make them less efficient. That’s got to be dust and cobwebs on a Miss Haversham scale.

So don’t forget to celebrate the day in the comfort of your own home with your favourite radiator by your side.

But it's just one of several days – most starting in America – to celebrate the bizarre, the ridiculous and the just plain stupid.

There’s a cracker for cat lovers, but you'll have to wait until January to bask in its full glory and it comes shortly after Dress Your Pet Up Day which falls on January 14.

Yes, on January 22 it’s Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day. No joke. Deadly serious stuff this

After all, who hasn’t looked down into their favourite feline’s eyes and wondered what’s going on in their tiny little heads.

Probably no-one except Mrs Miggins the mad catwoman from Clapham.

Cats can be somewhat aloof so it’s best not to know. It could be anything from “why doesn’t my owner do something about her weight?'' to “why has she dressed me up like this? Can't she see I’m a cat? She’s mad.''

If you're not into cats celebrate Appreciate A Dragon Day on January 16. You don’t have to look for one, you're meant to explore the cultural significance. Should do well in Wales that one.

Feeling stressed already by all this nonsense? Let it all out on January 26 with Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day and pop a few thousands of the little blighters.

And even though it happens probably most days, there is an official Blame Someone Else Day on February 13. Perhaps that should have been on February 15 in case you messed up on Valentine’s Day. Or wait until Wife Appreciation Day on September 19 to try in vain to make amends. Coincidentally that’s the same day as Talk Like A Pirate Day, but it’s probably not advisable to talk like a pirate to her all day. Unless you hire Johnny Depp to come and do it.

But if you can’t handle all the pressure you'll have to hang on until March for Panic Day.

For those who are all-too-eager to pull a sickie off work, November 30 will give you a whole new excuse to drop you colleagues in it yet again – Stay At Home Because You’re Well Day.

Boxing Day is national Whiner's Day which normally starts off with “oh no, not turkey again.''

And for those of you who just can't stand the thought of all these farcical days there's even one for you.

January 7 is the official I’m Not Going To Take It Anymore Day.
