Thanks again folks - in classic fashion, boiler started when plumber looked at it.

Thanks folks - I’m calming down and I’ve found my long johns.

Thanks @Airhead I had no idea it was potentially a consumable part, that’s really interesting.

My angry slash exasperated post should have clarified I have pressure back to correct. Zero signs of leaves anywhere in the house. No dice on resetting boiler per instructions… just error code E133… why does this stuff only ever break on Sunday evenings? sobs

Get home from a trip to the house at 12 degrees, no water pressure in boiler and a boiler that won’t light.

Any one got any hot ideas while I have a meltdown and put off the usual phone around on a Monday to discover no plumbers are available…?

Baxi in BR1.

Big fan of the Mühle Aloe Vera Soap - gives a nice lather and last seemingly for ever.
The Edwin Jagger soaps are good too, but come in plastic pots.

In “defending pointless statements on internet”… I’m fairly certain there’s only one person that matches this description, and I reckon his defence for lack of form is pretty bomb proof - no excuses for not riding his full guards sensible commuter though.

Text to admonish duly sent.

Anglian actually did a good job - their sales approach almost prevented any sale from happening - but the fit and workmanship was quick and tidy. One tiny hiccup that they resolved without question within a day. All at a quarter of the price of the more upmarket options… oh and they sort scaffolds etc as part of the price.

That might just be the general "trying to exit Israel" experience - all be it for me it tends to be an endless interrogation of why I have a stamp in my passport from 10 years ago that I don't remember the specific recorded dates of entry and exit for...

Phwoar. A quiver of Recyling Bins!?

I have a wheelset going off a Caad x - Maddox something or other.

Can run tubeless although I’ve had them set up with tubes. Can send pictures if interested and throw in discs currently on the wheels?

that's glorious!

Although the date feels a little tight to the '6' - I don't think it'd annoy me, it'd just be a quirk to enjoy eventually.

Long time fan of DaKine high roller - but have heard good things about the DB bags.

They do come in lengths, but I wouldn't worry too much about getting 'exactly the right' fit - as long as it'll fit of course.

Cram it all in and pray? As a student trying to get past the 'one bag' coach limitations, definitely. As an adult using a plane? No way. Have a bag of sports kit (boots, board etc), and a bag with your other sundries. Much more manageable around airports and won't bump you into overweight fees territory.

Airlines get picky? unlikely you'll hit restrictions, but worth checking the airlines sport kit policy when you book...

Double Ta!

TA!

…erm…plumber in BR?

Looks like our boilers having a little protest and the old boy that used to do the works has inconveniently retired.

...the unwavering self belief is fascinating though! How can we study this human!

Very much so. but (begrudgingly) it's really worth it.

If you want images drop me a DM - I redid our kitchen floor at the weekend after abusing it for a few years & used their exterior stuff on our front door...

#notsponsored(sadly)

The osmo matt finish oil is the winner - we have engineered oak and the orange fade isn’t an issue (also don’t scrub it with aggressive chemicals!)

Bloody hell. Same chopper. Fairly tall, glasses, dressed head to toe in black?

Came up the inside of me in the segregated section. I'd drifted very slowly across to the middle lane because it was obvious the cyclist ahead of me was about to turn slow / turn left. He aggressively rang his bell, then barged through a gap not even a seasoned CX racer would take - when I caught him his whattaboutery was 'you'd have looked if you were in a car not pulled out', squarely missing the point that in a car that would have been an accident with him at fault [even if looking was the issue]. Then proceeded to jump a few lights, cut up two cyclists before I lost him...

Credit to him, unreal self confidence / belief in his righteousness. I was a bit taken aback by his insistence it was my fault.

no - but just up from brixton on Embankment - are you said gentleman or have you had a run in with said gentleman?

If it's the former, maybe forum beef could be on the cards. I'll dig out the fixeh.

this is something that perpetually bemuses me: if you're the party of business, spouting chat about trickle down nonsense, why not fucking pay people what they are due?

(realise this is about permission as much as anything, but I'd expect to pay for music for an event like this)

A falling leaf hit me in the face today.

But crucially no tall dutchmen on eMoofs tried to cause an accident to make a point... so swings and roundabouts eh.

Really enjoyed today's ride in, maybe it was the smugness gained knowing I was unaffected by train chaos.

Sorry fellah - missed this. I’d say that’s fair. Fit is pretty good for day to day but a half size short for running.

Old Camelbak x Rapha bidons… anyone know whether any of the newer camelbak lids fit / got a link for the silicon bite valve / have an unwanted yellow one…?

Toddlers favourite bottle was toddlered…

Goggle box has probably taught me more about Britain today than living here could. It’s probably a touch too positive of an example though…even for the current government.
