I have UGGs too. Excellent in Winter.

Drink booze and have a splendid day all you lot!

I've not used them, but they have an excellent reputation. Very good for DJing too.

Our boiler has been behaving a bit "iffy" over the last few days, so yesterday I picked up a diaphragm that usually tends to be the culprit. It's a twenty year old Glowworm combi. It didn't start again this morning when the thermostat demanded heat, so I figured I'd better get my hands dirty and change the diaphragm. After isolating power and figuring out which bits to stop flow on, I managed to get it changed, but it didn't solve the less than reliable starting, so I've spent a good portion of the day learning how to fully service it from a pdf version of the manual. Success! We have a boiler now working perfectly again, which made me feel very satisfied.

I'm not interested in not posting, so I thought I'd post to let you know I'm not interested.

It's a bit long winded. Maybe we could shorten it to the last three sentences, it would work really well on a t-shirt then.

Yeah, love Laphroaig. Have had a few bottles so far this year.

Still Sennheiser HD25. During lockdown Sennheiser themselves did a special offer on them, so I purchased a brand new pair for about 70 quid IIRC.

Well, it's debateable where this should go, but I've put it here

Yeah, I've done that too, on a Sunday after Slimelight. Terrifying fun!

Saw them in London around that time at Electrowerkz. The sound in there was less than ideal, but the crowd were great.

The leak maybe easier to fix than you think. Our boiler was leaking and I couldn't get a plumber. Youtube and a plumbing supplies place down the road had me replace a little diaphragm and have it all working flawlessly for about a tenner. That was over a year ago, and it's still going strong.

It's really just a matter of how confident you are to shut it down and take it apart. Good luck anyhow!

I fitted a Hive thermostat to a 2002 Glowworm Compact 100E combi boiler. It works well and I managed to do it all for around a hundred quid.

I'm amazed that no-one seems to have yet mentioned where the whole concept came from. What started the whole Second Life thing was a book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson where the main character is a hacker who has had a hand in creating a VR World known as the Metaverse

It's classic Sci-Fi and a great read. If you haven't read it, I would heartily recommend it.

When Facebook announced their re-branding to Meta, I recognised it immediately.

I am thanks @Skülly!

Nice to meet you today. Enjoy the bike!

I'm reluctantly selling my Moser track bike. I love this bike, but it doesn't get used anymore, so it ought to go to someone who will. It's an F Moser Pro Evolution frame built from Dedacciai Zero Uno tubing. Size: top tube 56cm c-c, seat tube 56cm c-t. The frame has a tiny dink in the top tube. It was like this when I bought it a few years ago (see photo).

Currently running: Suzue hubs on Mavic MA2 rims (no brake has touched these), Cane Creek headset, Deda RHM02 bars, Easton EA50 stem, Campag Record BB, Gipiemme Special Strada cranks, KMC chain, Condor rear cog (gearing is 48 x 17), San Marco Zoncolan scruffy saddle, Gatorskin front Hardshell back. The bike currently has Look S-Track pedals (Time ATAC cleats work with these) which I can leave on, remove or replace with some Time ATAC ROC pedals if desired.

I want £300 for it as a complete bike. I don't really want to try to post this, and I'm no longer based in London, I'm in Nottingham. If someone in London wants it and doesn't want to travel too far, maybe we can work something out. I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance if that helps.

My Rourke out today

Genuinely, whip off the v-brakes, flip the wheel and add another £1k. Guaranteed sale.

Haven't been to Spiritland for a while now as I'm not living in London anymore. The first time I went it was in Curtain Road, very cool. Had some great nights at both venues. It can be particularly good when there's a tasty guest playing.

unclipping is like shifting or giving up ;-)

That frame is painted to look like driftwood I reckon. The saddle and some of the other components may be wood, but that frame with shock mounts and hollowtech bb? unlikely.

Surely, one should be included in the box with the phone. Oppo include one in theirs.

Cool, it has an unusual taste, kind of "aniseedy". I like it, but until I came across it in Adelaide, I had no idea it even existed.

Oooh, where did you find Three Wood? I've only come across it in Australia, where I bought some and drank it, naturally.

Winter's Gold is very nice, especially if you pop it in the freezer as they recommend.
