    If there is a Decathlon nearby pop in there and have a look at their range, I got one last year for about £40 and it’s pretty good.

    Have a look on James Wong’s twitter feed – he’s been experimenting with Terrariums the past few weeks.

    You get a cut down version of Ableton with the Launchpads to get you going so as long as you have a Pc or laptop to install this on then you should be good to go.
    You may need a soundcard for this but I’d try installing Asio4all drivers on your your Pc/laptop first before going doing this route to see if existing soundcard can be used.

    Do you have any Apple devices? Korg Gadget on an iPad could be an alternative if you do.

    Blue skies, clear roads looking onto the Hagley Road at the moment. More snow is forecast later today so it may grind to a halt.

    One thing it can’t do is to rdp into my work desktop in a usable way – (I don’t know if people still do this much with cloud computing, but I have the habit of it and like it) there is a big resolution gap that creates a tiny desktop window and I’m not sure if this is a solvable problem. Other than that, though – great machine.

    Have a look at the link below ( I’m not blessed with a super hi res screen though so can’t confirm if it works )

    Good god is that still there? I remember that opening in 1992. Used to live at the traffic lights on Cromer road- eating there was cheaper than going to the shops.

    You are in exalted company – David Cameron is also a patron – though this is not a selling point for me :D

    Serious? Despite everyone who knows anything warning us of how bad that could be for trade and business?

    The interview on Ch4 news with the manager of Ford in Europe was quite an eye opener – he said a hard brexit would cost Ford about £1b in tariffs per year.

    I quite like Diwan on the Moseley/Balsall Heath border, the favorite of mine on the menu is Balti Chicken Shambar – chicken with mashed lentils – lovely stuff.

    I get it via Plus.net for £5 a month at the moment, it’s an app on my phone that I can chromecast to the TV – it works pretty well.

    Whats the weight of Camino al? Thinking of getting a gravel bike but a one-in one-out rule enforcement means I’d have to replace my road bike, I’d look to get 2 sets of wheels for it I think.

    I used to love Chicken & Mushroom pot noodles nowadays I tend to pick up some instant noodles whenever I go into Birmingham city centre from the various Asian supermarkets that are dotted about.
    NongShim Ramyun noodles are the current favorites, the Kimchi ones are pretty good as well though not as spicy.

    I was running it on a 4yr iPad Mini2 last winter so a new iPad should have no problem.

    Thanks for the advice, I’ll stick either a supreme or mondial on the front wheel and keep a std marathon on the back.

    I had cous cous with falafels and a salad of cucumber/tomato/red onions with some herbs + some mint yogurt for lunch, very nice it was too.

    If all you know is that your KOM just got beaten by 2s but you can’t see that the rest of the activity included a 50 mile stretch of 100mph down the M1 how would you know if it was legit or not?

    Part of my commute home is along a canal towpath which runs parallel to a train line, I’m in the top 10 for a section but the KOM holder managed to average 45mph for this section on his route home.

    I run it on an iPad mini2 that’s about 4 years old, seems to work fine on it.

    Regarding DAW’s as he’ll end up there at some point.

    I agree eventually he’ll end up with a DAW but staring at a computer screen is not much fun, knob twiddling is far better :D

    I’d look at the Korg Volca Keys as a good intro to synthesisers or the Volca Sample for beats ( its a sampler but I just use mine as a drum machine ), there are other Volca’s available but the Volca FM is a complex beast, and the Volca Beats a bit limited.
    Both of these are available for around £130 ( they were a bit cheaper but the £ plummeted for some reason )

    Unless, again – i’m missing something in this concept.

    You get to take back control over your life knowing that you have the freedom to sit in your pants and watch Jeremy Kyle for months at a time and still get the UBI.
    You can’t put a price on control can you? ( see also Brexit :D )

    It looks like they’ve had a read of the Shock Doctrine :(

    Those Evolva lights look the business for commuting, I’ve got the Aldi Moon copies but they aren’t going to cut it for the towpath in the depths of Winter – are there any other lights similar to the Evolva that have dipped beams?

    lets pile £bn’s into building the technology to actually come up with a solution to STOP using fossil fuels to power industry and cars

    Elon Musk is already doing this via Tesla Cars, Tesla Solar Roof, Powerwall batteries.

    Whats the time between it being handed into the police and then being given to your son?
    I’d have expected the police to hang onto it for a while in case anyone claims it.

    Apparently some tack were laid down in Bobbington but I didn’t see any issues. It was a great day out, lots of support from the locals in Bewdley, Belbroughton and Droitwich. Hope to do it again next year.

    Yes, luckily I’ve got a 7.35 start time. Hoping to average 16-17mph though I tend to get pain on the outside of my right knee at around 60 miles, if it flares up then the last 1/3rd might be a bit grim.

    I’ve got the BT Sport app on my android phone for £2.50 a month extra on my Plusnet bill, you can cast to a TV using it as I did a few weeks ago for the Liverpool v Hoffenheim game.

    My other half has got the app on her iPad as well.

    I’d stop for a pint at the George III pub, it’s lovely sitting out the front if the sun is shining.

    I’ve been looking into this as I’m doing road rides with a local club and it would be useful if I get lost.
    Has anyone tried the paid version of RidewithGPS?

    I’ve got a Burley 5kw stove, we’ve had it a few years now. It seems very well made and is easy to light. No faffing with mutiple vents just the lever at the bottom to control air flow.

    I’ve got a Xiaomi Mi Band2, it’s an optical heart rate monitor so it isn’t going to be as accurate as a chest strap but from reading on the interweb about its accuracy it’s good 90% of the time which is fine for my needs, cost was about £20.
