I just saw Anora at The Ritzy. The pacing was a bit off but still great. Amazing performance from Mikey Madison. I'd argue it's Sean Baker's least good film but the bar is so high.

I'm making a trip to post some bits this afternoon if anyone wants any books and needs postage!

I've had this for ages but it's too big for me now so it's sat unused for a while.
It shows it's age but there are no rips or tears.

It's a running jacket but I used it for cycling for years and it's great.

It's a large but I'd say it fits somewhere between a medium and a large.

GONE

Hahaha. I'm really enjoying watching people get sucked in to that, despite desperately trying not to.

I watched Love Lives Bleeding tonight. I enjoyed it a lot but I'm glad I was veto-ed on watching it over Christmas with my family.

Sold!

I'll update this post with the books that have been taken:

Song of Kali
The Empusium

There's a new Bobby Fingers video out for those who celebrate.

I'd forgotten about American Fiction, loved that too!

Hey! Yep, let me dig them out. Send me a DM and we can figure out getting them to you. My over indulgence over Christmas has relieved you of your obligation of a vegan chocolate bar in exchange.

It's all yours! Will probably be an extra £3 for postage. Drop me a DM and we'll figure it out.

I'm moving my Aeropress on. I've had it for years but I've come to realise I prefer a V60. It's certainly not in new condition, a lot of the markings have rubbed off but it's still perfectly functional. It's got all of the standard accessories (except that I believe it came with a measuring spoon which has gone missing) and will come with a few paper filters.

I'd like £10 - now sold

I'm having a clear out so these books are up for grab. Can post at cost. Take as many as you like!

Update: all gone, either one here or to a charity shop. Although I do have 2 copies of The Way Of Kings, the 2nd will be available once I've finished reading it (probably mid Jan).

I have some Sealskinz lobsters which are great. I have Raynaud's so my hands get really cold really easily. The lobsters keep them nice and toasty, especially if I remember to pop them on a radiator for a bit before I head out.

The drawbacks are that they're not good in the wet. Once they get soaked through they're useless. They also really affect dexterity and put your hands in a weird position if you using drops and hoods. They're fine with flat bars/risers though.

The other drawback is that they're not cheap! They've definitely been worth it for me though. There were days when I'd just get the train to work if it was freezing because I knew my hands would suffer but that's not the case anymore.

Anyone fancy an Aeropress for a tenner? Comes with a few paper filters. Collection from SE20 or E20. Can post if no interest locally.

I was quite well behaved this year so Santa brought me a Kingrinder 6 (thanks @M4xime for pointing me in that direction). First use this morning and I'm quite impressed! I'll only be using it for filter at work and when away from home so can't comment on grinding for espresso but it made a really nice V60. A massive upgrade from the cheap Krups thing it'll replace.

I made a right mess though, I need to work on not chucking beans and grounds everywhere.

Oh really? I've not had any problems! Which version are you using out of interest? Mine are the light and supple flavour.

We opened this at Christmas. Bought for either mine or my brother's christening (so '90 or '92 - my Dad polished the other bottle off years ago). After a bit of filtering it was lovely!

Where's good for picture frames? Not after anything super fancy but nicer than the basic Ikea ones, with glass rather than perspex. I'm after an A1 frame with a mount for an A2 print if that makes a difference. Would prefer plain black.

My brother and I getting our bottles grubby on a very hungover ride yesterday.

Terravail Ramparts are my favourite road tyres (and have done some light, summery gravel on them as well). Fast, grippy and smooth. I've yet to have a puncture with them as well after at least a year of using them most days. I've not tried any other Terravails but they seem to be well reviewed.

Thanks! Looks like I'll continue to keep an eye on the secondhand market.

Any wild bargains on GRX (or 105 I suppose) shifters out there at the moment? 11 speed at the back and a double at the front.

Thanks! I reckon we'll give it a punt.

I got my brother an Opinel Brunch Knife and he sent me a photo spreading Lurpak on a slice of white supermarket bread. Unfortunately not trolling.
