Update: I took loaf to a small claims court using the money claim online government service, which was very easy, Loaf covered my court costs and I have new sofas on order free of charge. Case closed :-) 

Hell I like you. You can come round to my house and **** my sister 

From my recent understanding and without any citation:

butter – saturated fats aren’t as bad as we have been led to believe. Butter is full of fat soluble vitamins. Butter is good.

marg – vegetable oils are inflammatory and should not be consumed. Poly unsaturated fat, with the double, single hydrogen bonds break down easily and react within the body

low fat diets are a nonsense and we can’t absorb fat soluble vitamins without fat.

Sugar is evil

It’s never happened to me, I ride too fast to be in earshot of any complaint

Eat less than what? And do you mean eat less calories?

Has anybody mentioned the importance of insulin in trying to lose weight?

Not that this helps the OP but ive stopped selling on eBay as their buyer protection policy is massively abused

The depth of type 1 is dependant on ground conditions and I’m guessing you haven’t done any ground investigation. On the face of it 200mm seems excessive and you could probably get away with 100/150mm and save a bit of cash

Try turning your pump speed and your boiler flow temperature down.

Coconut oil here. I don’t think saturated fats are as evil as we’ve been led to believe. Saturated, mono and poly all refer to the number of double carbon bonds within the long chain molecule. A fat can not break down into a saturated fat.

Poynton seems to fit the bill. 40 mins from Salford, small town but enough going on, excellent road cycling and some reasonable mtb on the door with it being in the edge of the Peak District.

Re k2 this is a good video from a cardiologist

8000iu with k2.

It’s a fat soluble vitamin (so is k) so needs to be taken with fatty food.

and for balance….

The GMC dropped every charge against Sarah Myhill, becasue they couldn’t find any witnesses to testify…

EBV is dormant in the majority of the population. If, like me, you have (undiagnosed – because GPs are rubbish in this area) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) they i would strongly recommend Dr Sarah Myhills website https://www.drmyhill.co.uk/ and her book about CFS. In my particular instance i have (or had) random episodes of post exertional malaise. And its not being lazy, its being unable to walk up the stairs properly and sleeping 50% more because im exhausted after exercise.

You may also want to read Dr Myhills paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2680051/

In short, i would encourage you to research mytochondria dysfunction and supplements to support the function. Your GP wont help you here so you will have to help yourself.

I supplemented with Acetly L Carnintine, the carrier molecule which carries ‘stuff’ (cant remember exactly what) into and our of the mytochondria for energy production. The change in me was a revelation and the post exertional fatigue is now a thing of the past.

Falling out with my wife, because my 2 year old son doesn’t want to know his daddy (me)

Now then….

er, now, or then?

Weakness is a crime.

Don’t be a criminal

My experience of Penmacho is that you leave the car park, cycle up hill and end up back at the car park.

People who ask, ‘can I ask.’ Just ask the **** question you want to ask, don’t ask for permission to ask. Morons

‘Turn key solution’ boils my urine also.

You want a higher delta t to improve efficiency

What am I missing about sports specific washes? I use aldis powder and stuff comes up fine and smelling clean

‘<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, ‘Helvetica Neue’, Arial, ‘Noto Sans’, sans-serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ‘Segoe UI’, ‘Apple Color Emoji’, ‘Segoe UI Emoji’, ‘Segoe UI Symbol’, ‘Noto Color Emoji’;”>I’m not quite getting this – you’ve had a sofa for 18 months, children have snotted and dribbled over it, food and drink may have been spilled over it – and this is the first time anyone has tried to clean it!?'</span>

Its not the first time anyone has tried to clean it. Its the first time a professional has commented in writing that the sofas have a manufacturing defect.

Oldtennisshoes – Your suggesting i’m fabricating my story? I’m here to seek advice, any fabrication in my story is only going to misdirect peoples advice at my own detriment.

Yes it is leaving noticeable whiter patches after cleaning.

Just to be clear the sofa is blue, and the dye rubs off when cleaned with water and a cloth, as per the cleaning guidance.

I probably have been mis-sold an insurance policy; more pressing though is the poor quality sofas Shirley?

Im going to hazard a guess that if you were on a dual carriageway and the van was on the opposite side of the road, the central reservation would have been obstructing the view between the camera and your number plate. Either way, lynch him.

My understanding is that it could be a symptom of hypothyroidism.

I think energy prices are due another fall soon, so maybe wait and see before making a commitment

https://moneyweek.com/personal-finance/605440/will-energy-prices-go-down

‘Although the price cap is forecast to drop by £251 – from £2,074 to £1,823 – for the final three months of this year, the actual saving most households will make will be a lot lower. The average household energy bill is set to fall by just £149 in real terms. This is because from October the regulator will change its calculations for how it works out the average energy bill.’

Nice one Ofgem

I have also read suggestions a bomb was on board, from the PPRUNE forum

Tjagain – wise words, thanks.

We’re trying it. I can’t imagine it will be useful if I’m honest, my wife’s listening skills are appalling.

Is it possible these drones are launched from inside Russia?

About 10 years ago Jerry offered me a commission only job at Frog Bikes. Didn’t dare take it, so stuck with my environmental sales job. Wonder where i would be now if I did.

Well I’m going to the doctors today. The wife thinks it’s because in depressed (which I’m not), my parents noted at the weekend that it’s her that looks depressed (classic projection). I want to explain to the docs my situation and just ask the question, could it be the menopause? If so what can/do I do next? How do I tell wifey that she’s bat shit crazy and needs treating?

Expatscot – its an impossible situation. My wife gaslighted me in front of our councillor this week, then when the councillor sided with my recollection of what she said, she still denied she said it. Gaslighting is such a simple technique for those that way inclined, but you lose your sense of reality, your sense of self believe, and ultimately, yourself.

I dont think its about having answers, however a framework to understand the behaviour helps. I was exposed to a psychopathic relationship a few years back, so i am accustomed to projecting, gaslighting, walking on eggshells, Jekyll and hyde, mask on/off – and i believe this has thickened my skin and allows me to cope better with my current situation.

Still however i am going to the doctors on Monday, i want to explore further techniques to help me cope and the doctors advice on how to approach wife with exploring HRT. At the minute i resent my wife, id be much happier if i could walk away, but our young twins will keep us together, for their sake.

Sounds like my wife. However she is late 30’s – too early for the menopause? Either way every month she blows her fuse, and obviously its all my fault.

It could simply be a tight calf muscle. A slant board is a useful tool to help stretch your calf. I have one, and the benefits are far greater than one may expect. It may also be weak glutes, with the referred pain being in the calves

I don’t believe there is a law criminalising cycling on footpaths? Happy to be proven wrong.

There is some amazing natural riding round Les Arcs. However I was following people who had local knowledge and it was a few years back, so there’s no chance I could tell you where they are :(
