As a now, mostly, lurker I enjoyed this weird little rabbit hole! Much more interesting than the OTT consumerism, centrist politics, and general one-upmanship most of the forum is busy with.

I couldn't make any sense from the text/descriptions. By the end I was wondering if I was having a stroke:

The front "Display Module" dissipates heat when in "Sandwich" mode, creating a seamless airflow pathway with the Switch, keeping temperatures in check during intense gameplay.

Turns out they're just lifting text from elsewhere (in the above case, a video game peripheral). Strong look.

and at what point would you decide that portion starts ?

Luckily there are people who are professionally capable of addressing questions around means testing, and it's not decided arbitrarily by some guy on a bike forum. Phew!

Decided to have a go over lunch - thought it would be chill, or maybe Star Control-esque . Lol, no. Controls, constant beeping, endless space debris, battery swapping... It's like it was designed to infuriate.

Based on Barnier's politics lately, I think Brexiters would be pretty chuffed to see someone like him in power.

Edited - DMing

Yeah, good point. But still happy with Trossard (and probably got Rice with the money saved).

We owe you one for taking, and very much paying for, that Mudryk bullet.

What was being reported yesterday was no fee (I think that's certain), and Chelsea are paying a portion of his wages and/or he's taking a pay cut. With Eddie and Nelson moving on (sad face emoji) it's a no brainier.

Good chance someone here's gone through it, so they may be able to say more but: after the Hackney cyber attack (which stopped them from running searches), I believe people got some form of indemnity insurance. This went on for months (years?) so it's certainly possible to buy/sell without a search being complete.

edit Just checked - they're still not able to do some searches! Bonkers.

"I like Twitter, therefore you're the hypocrite for having a bank account!"

I'd pop down to Covent Garden and check all the outdoor/camping/hiking shops on Southampton St. Ellis Brigham usually has a good selection.

Thanks, dude. Just sense checking before venturing too far down the rabbit hole. On the face of it, seems very possible. In practice, it looks like loads of pain dans la sac.

Yeah, non-resident which is the complicated bit.

Mind if I slip into your DMs?

Anyone bought property in France post Brexit? Not sure how simple it would be. I assume very much not.

Hmm, thanks. Been enough times that we're not really planning to do anything touristy, so at least we won't be disappointed on that front. I'm hoping it'll be like London was - quite chill, and fairly empty.

Not really, tbf. Had a look out of interest at one point and they were pretty expensive for things I'm not all that interested in. Would have been fun to be there for one of the events that you can watch from the street, but looks like we missed that. I remember going to the race walking in 2012, which was fun.

Anyone in/been to Paris during the games? I'm going to be there tomorrow till Thursday. Completely forgot about the Olympics when we booked it. Plan is to just laze/walk around town, but if anyone's been and done some really fun stuff, please do share!

Use CityStrides (https://citystrides.com/) to record. Pulls data from Strava or one of the others, so you need to record your walks on there (I keep my walks private).

But I walk about in largely the same way. Just off in a direction. Eventually I ended up having to hunt down specific roads, but that was a bit of an entertaining enough task on its own. Gives your walk a bit of a goal.

In about 2 and half years I've managed to complete Islington and the City. Over 50% of Camden and Hackney as well. Got bits of other boroughs I've picked up on longer walks.

I'll be the first to admit it's fucking nerdy.

That sounds like an interesting challenge, though Southwark is pretty big, so that might take a while.

Definitely a long term project.

Mainly a bit flat, though, so I'm not sure how long the interest levels will stay high.

You'd be surprised! So much to discover, and you really get to know your surroundings in a way that walking from A to B doesn't let you.

Anyone consider themselves au fait with pumps? It looks pretty straightforward to install (and I can get an electrician mate to handle that bit).

After redoing out bathroom it's become pretty clear ours isn't up to scratch. Old(ish?) Stuart Turner Showermate, but positive. Pretty sure we need a negative head. We're in a one bed flat, the "cold" water tank is about a meter above the pump, hot water tank is directly below the cold and on the same level as the pump. Low pressure in the system means the pump often won't engage (at all for the shower/bathroom taps), or cuts out (hot water often cuts while trying to find the "sweet spot" when using kitchen taps). Usually able to kick-start it into action by flushing the toilet, or leaving a tap running, but obviously far from ideal.

Also, assuming I'm not misdiagnosing this, suggestions on a pump? Just going to get a 2bar (current is 1.8) twin negative. Annoyingly, they're not cheap.

Nice one on the loop! Have wanted to do it for ages, but a bit slack about getting transport for walks.

One thing I started a few years back was walk every road of my borough (Islington), and once I finished that, I started on neighbouring ones. The map is quite impressive, but the gains end up becoming quite marginal when you need to walk ages to get to roads you've not walked.

No, it was a weird comment. Neckbeard-alt-right-gotchya-esque.
