    Just re-bought an Iridium and blown away by how much I like it compared to when I previously owned one. Clearly I have fickle ears, or maybe it just sounds better with my current monitors.

    Anyway, means my Walrus ACS-1 is up for sale. Anyone interested at £150? Think that's a pretty good deal. It's great!

    I have one of the big super C messenger/courier bags gathering dust. Any interest from anyone to take that off my hands? Maybe £35 posted in the UK.

    Right, I'm all over this - I have invested too much in a specific size of trousers to get any larger.

    Was about 64KG when I left London 6 years ago. 6 years of exploring the sheffield ale scene, having a child, and the pandemic saw me reach an unpleasant 73KG about 6 weeks back.

    Through calorie counting and upping the exercise a bit (slow 5ks, slightly longer dog walks, inefficient swimming) I got down to 69.5 in about a month. And there I have resolutely stayed for the last 2 weeks, no matter how few calories I consume.

    I feel like I can tell my metabolism has slowed down, so need to kick it back up, seemingly through strength training. Not a clue what I'm doing with that, will see what youtube has to offer - can't really be bothered with weights in the house, so bodyweight stuff will have to do.

    Any interest in a Men's Zoa Insulated Jacket (Blue, with orange lining), in a small. Brand new, got it in the recent sale also with a code, but was being slightly ambitious that it would fit. Happy to sell for the £130 it was on at, inc some suitably tracked postage.

    If not, I shall just return!

    This is gone gone gone now!

    Wow!

    Also, was that Coquard bunny hopping Pederson in that crash in the straight - amazing!

    Any interest in a Two Notes Torpedo Cab M* before I take it to the bay.

    All factory reset, with its power supply, and mint.

    105GBP posted - that's a chunk cheaper than reverb etc.

    *Not a cab M+ - however, if you register it with Two Notes you can do a firmware upgrade that makes it one it seems: https://support.two-notes.com/knowledgebase.php?article=362

    I have one and like it a lot. I mean, its not as good as a Moccamaster or a Sage Barista filter machine or anything like that, and it makes a very small amount of coffee, but it looks good and the coffee is decent enough. I prefer a darker roast though.

    Ours does most of its work in our spare room when we have guests - whichever parent is not up with their kids can have a quick coffee in bed!

    Tbh, the name makes me laugh everytime I think of it, so that's worth 30 quid to me. Aroma Boy!

    Goodness me, just downloaded the free 14 day trial of the Neural DSP Tone King Imperial Mk II to test out a 2nd hand Audio Interface I've just picked up.

    Absolutely blown away by it - sounds amazing!

    Good grief. Only got an English degree and work in publishing. Shame on me!

    I blame the toddler for getting me up at 3am.
