Anyone got the nod for a decent place for a big team dinner?
I was hoping for Palomar but they won't do a table for 20

is it.... kids?

Did a one night camp with my son this weekend.
Dusted out my 20 year old Coleman Epsilon backpacking tent.

Re proofed it with NikWax and seam sealed the whole thing.
Not too sure what the problem was, but we were DAMP.
It could have been condensation, but the tent material felt full saturated. It was a misty morning.
Could the damp air have permeated the tent?

It might also be that the bathtub ground sheet needed re proofing too, and that the moisture was coming up from under us.

It might have just been condensation of two people in an old tent

Either way...
Tempted to try again. Re seal everything with Fabrisil silicone based gear, rather than the water based Nik Wax stuff... try to bring a 20 year tent back into life.

or...

Just treat myself to a new backpacking tent. Doesn't need to be pro grade.
Just enough to throw in a backpack or the boot for a minimal camp with one kid.

Anyone got any experience of the Vango Caringorm?

Yes?

love love love.

Their album is like a Yesterdays New Quintet kinda jazz flex

no way!
He sounds great, but technically he is fucked.

Best drummer in the world right now...
Benny Greb or Nate Smith

there is a studio in Brockley (brockley studios) that I use, room hire with backline on a weeknight is very reasonable.

The place is a terraced house. Mental soundproofing. Neighbours don't even know.

I just bought an "only used once" tent off ebay, after having my tent nicked from the boot of the car.

Keen to get it up and see what's what before the big family holiday we are planning in it.

Question.
Who has a campite reco that is less than an hour from SE London and allows fires?

Any routes to a place that don't involve signing up to raise £600 for a charity I don't care about?

I had a bad year 20/21, didn't we all, and my reduced income means I am not required to submit for the period.
I have had good results since and will need to submit again this year.

I went through the exemption process and registered reduced income as the reason I don't need to submit. Got confirmation of my submission but nothing else.
No notification that my submission has been approved and still being chased to submit.

Am I missing something?

If you are camping with a toddler then a black out tent is a MUST.
Decathlon do black out, but the best in market is Coleman.

Without it you will wake up with a toddler clawing at your eyes at 4am when the sun comes up.

This is a good budget option - https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/air-seconds-family-4-2-xl-fresh-black-family-camping-tent-i-4-people/_/R-p-157654?mc=8572950&c=BEIGE
But you might want to spend a bit more to get some more communal space. If it rains keeping a toddler occupied in 200cm sq would be trouble.

Hello,

I have two tickets I can't use for Matthew Halsall at the Barbican this evening.
Stage time is 1930. Not doors, stage time.

Paper tickets are located in SE4 for collection.

Cost me £26.50 each.
Will take £30 the pair.

Hello you lot.
I know there of plenty of skaters on here, and plenty of parents

My nearly six year old has been having a great time on the cousin's skateboard and we have sent him for a lesson with someone who knows what they are doing because I don't.

Time to get him a board.

Before I take the plunge and spend £50 on a new set up I thought I would ask here.

Does anyone have a full set up, about 8inches wide, that would suit a 5 year old for a couple of years?

He's 5. So the gnarlier the graphics the better.

Hello you lot.
Not my usual thread but my partner is in need.

Does anyone have a 77mm NX-10 Circular Polariser Filter that they are willing to get rid of in the next day or two?

She will need hers for a gig on Monday but has just stepped on it.

S'warm...

I use these.
Cheap as chips and have worked in pitching a three-man tent on a shingle beach and holding down guys on an 8ft by 8ft tarpe shelter in high winds.

Has anyone got a good link for Kodak Porta 400 (35mm)...?

All our usual sources are either out of stock or way way way inflated.

Interested. But may have to sell a bike to release the cash!

the tyres are tubeless, right?

I have just spent 45 mins trying to find the right HR form to fill out because one of my team has handed in their notice.

The intranet page and document are both titled "Separation intent".

I would like to submit this as 'some bullshit'.

Don't Flop used to be my thing.
Ogmios was a deep new revelation.

When I realised the cross over I jumped off the sofa and tried to find someone to high five.

How long is the MOR national griefgasm scheduled for?

Own up.

Does anyone have a source of decent and reasonable manure and compost?

Local to, or delivery to SE

All my usual places are sold out

Plus net is utter utter shite.
I am in a fibre desert so have to have a BT line, so zen and hyper etc are off the table.

Every single day my wifi drops to a crawl at 1MB download for about 20 mins.
Timing is completely random.

Fucking useless
