Problem with the Scottish data, so three days of cases have been reported on the same day, making yesterday's total look much higher:

"Due to technical issues Public Health Scotland was unable to provide new figures for 12 - 14 March. The data published on 15 March covers data since Saturday 12 March."

Moved last September into a house that had clearly had the kitchen re-done for sale in an all expense spared manner! Hasn't been done wonderfully (or indeed, to our taste) but the crazyness of house prices around the stamp duty deadline ate up all our renovation cash.

The kitchen cabinets themselves are inoffensive and pretty new - can I just replace the worktops with something less unpleasant to give me a new kitchen vibe on a budget? Assuming so, how much of a pain will this likely be? I have no idea whether anything would need to happen with the gas line to the gas hob for instance when either removing the old, or fitting the new...

Lovely, ta.

Where's everyone buying their shelves for their nice twin track/slot shelving systems? Can't find anything over a meter long, and need something a bit bigger.

Woof! Aye, hopefully like that but a touch darker.

Was an agonizing decision - was set on his TV Yellow style colour but couldn't get on board with that colour with a guitar with a whammy on.

I have ordered mine! Mr Trent is very helpful on email - as I couldn't see my desired colour he's agreed to have a go at a metallic dark green. So his thin skin normal green finish with a nitro sparkle over the top. Phwoar!

second vote for worktop express - choose the wood, the edging finish, add holes where needs be, round off any bits you want, provide measurements etc etc.

The more customising the more expensive obviously, but not crazy money.

Oh magnificent - ta for showing that!

Hmm, good idea, I had considered two bits of wood, but not the metal sandwich. Yeah, ideally it could be sat on (probably not regularly, but ideally possible!). And yes, I fear the base is going to have to be quite long to make that possible! Fiddly!

I have an old football stadium folding chair I'd like to mount onto a piece of wood, to live in a nook in my office. Any ideas for what to use to attach it to said wood? Not quite sure how to source a fat but short woodscrew. Or indeed if that would be strong enough - perhaps some kind of bolting required instead.

Chair below - I have the small offcut its currently standing on, and a bigger bit I'll probably have to use instead.

I am having an sbolutely torrid time settling on a colour for my Model One purchase - especially as he's dangling the carrot of future metallic finishes. Ahg!

Are we aware of Trent Guitars? I think I'm in love! Their Model One a very pleasing offset with slight Tele vibes.

If I'm not horribly mistaken - built by a family member of the BigXTop guy.

Anyone interested in a Super C Rack Bag? I have one that is essentially brand new - been on a grand total of one 3 mile bike ride.

Happy to let it go for grand total of say 50 quid posted.

Not sure how much booking is required anymore - locally around me in Sheffield everywhere is now just a walk in (in reality - not sure if websites updated). Just one queue and even if you have a booking, then its back of the queue please.

Absolutely love all this stuff but get myself in a muddle working out how I'm going to cable it all up! Got a personal desktop, work laptop, some powered speakers, microphone and a laptop dock. Would love a proper audio interface, but my brain, it hurts.

Fair play - must be murder to carry on when knowing you're not going to do it

Ugh, this is torture to watch. Feels like it's slipped away.

I have these as my desk speakers (also hooked up to a guitar thingy) - they good!

Very directional as they are studio monitors so recommend some little stands to point them towards your ears, like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kanto-Desktop-Speaker-Stands-Speakers/dp/B00X16SBU6?th=1

Can fine tune the bass/treble cutoffs on the back if you find them boomy or harsh.

Thanks for all the advice folks - excited to upgrade beyond Argos' cheapest!

Is there a forum approved "my first decent drill"?

Been making do with a very substandard corded job forever - moving house soon as thinking of treating myself so I don't knacker the new walls as much as I have these ones.

Cordless preferable, and able to get through most stuff.

Anyone after a ticket for Day two of England v India at Headingley? Face Value £65. I am sadly likely to be too ill to make it. Is a PDF ticket. Upper North East Block 0, this Thursday 26/8.

Brand New With Tags - this is just marginally easier than me returning it.

£120 inc postage, save yourself a mighty £12!

Ha, I remember finding this out after spending weeks thinking my entire house was one giant wire. A good day.

Enjoyed his interview - "I was rubbish".

Seems they rolled the dice and put a bigger gear on, knowing they had work to do, and it just didn't pay off. Fair enough really.

I'd worry giving them a chewychew (this is a treat right?) just after you've said "no" is likely to confuse them as to what the "no" means. I.e., they just think - "awesome, when i jump on the sofa, he says something and gives me a treat, let's keep doing that then!".

Personally, I'd just go for the relentlessly boring approach of "no" and remove them from the sofa. Over and over and over again until they give up trying. Worked with our dog when we didn't want him to sleep on the bed. And by 'worked' I mean we had three sleepless nights removing him every two minutes until he got it.
