    @doomanic – yep, tried today. They don’t stack though so 30% off with the student discount is best.

    You can still get 25% off codes for ordering via the Adidas app and I think if you log in as a student you get 30% off. The discounts stacked last time I tried this.

    And they’ve changed their VAT number to that of the same shop.

    They’ve now changed their address to an actual bike shop address in Richmond. Very out of order.

    And their premises are actually the premises of the PGR Group which still list that address as their head quarters and is confirmed by google street view. Steer clear.

    I think you’ll understand when you see how much they cost nowadays.

    There are a few good makers out there, but you might have to go topless…

    In the spirit of recommending what you have – Blok – I bought a chef quite some years ago (old shape and only paid £250 for it at the time). Very nice, each is unique, very well balanced and a joy to use, Ben is a sound Derby lad, free sharpening if you need it and he’s offered to put new scales on mine if I want them because someone put it in the dishwasher. If you have the cash, worth it, in my opinion.

    Then you’ve got Michael May up there in Sheff. Not as spendy as Blok. Less fancy pants and easier to get hold of, but damn good knives from the home of knives.

    Blenheim Forge – Hand forged rather than sharpened and shaped stock. Very nice.

    Drugs beginning with T

    Poppers perhaps. Quickly makes you pass out and vomit.

    GSP here, 9 years old, he’s always just been in the boot (estate cars). Always been happy just there – journey’s over two hours. Doesn’t try to climb over seats, doesn’t have a bed or anything. Just sleep in the room he has got. Which is sometimes very little.

    Were they knocking it out at £12/kg? That must be some over-roasted garbage.

    We’ve had a Barista Express for 3.5 years now. It has been brilliant, makes very good coffee in my opinion. Has needed a new group head seal (pack of three were a fiver from amazon, generic size) and is beginning to get a bit flakey with steam/water dosing – sometimes steam wand will stop steaming after 30s – if this happens there’s an easy workaround – it needs a good descale I think.

    Like I say, it has been great. I spent a long time researching at that price point before buying. I’d suggest sticking to a pretty rigid and fairly frequent de-scale regime if you do get one. I never have to make too much adjustment in grind or dose when changing beans. It’s solidly built and most spares are readily available. If you’re making a milky coffee, steam the milk first, then pull the espresso.

    Usury is also banned by Christian and Jewish doctrine. How do all those Christian and Jewish students finance degree courses?

    What kind of valve on the shower? And what’s the pressure like on the hot water to the shower when it does come out. Furthermore – how cold is the shower when the cold feed is on?

    How is person a’s relationship with management fact finder?

    Any chance someone else overheard the initial conversation and reported it. And then management fact finder approached person b pro-actively under the guise of an off-the-record conversation?

    Over roasted, old and stored non-airtight for a period of time I would say. Who are they from?

    When I was 6 I fell out of a tree and suffered a spiral fracture of my left femur.

    This being the 1970s I was put in traction in the Derby Children’s Hospital for a little over 6 weeks.

    My Dad, who worked in Derby, visited me every lunchtime and read the Hobbit to me. I loved it and a few years afterwards went on to read LOTR by myself.

    I’d say go for it.

    After a bit of advice if that’s OK….

    What is the best method for buying sets, building them and then swapping/selling them on? Do you keep the bags, completely disassemble and re-bag? What about stickers?

    I’ve got my eyes on the Land Rover but once it’s built I can’t see it having a long life as an ornament.

    Across from Tad to Bramham on the A659/Toulston Lane, then pick up NCR66 which is a mix of traffic free and quietish road all the way into the centre of Leeds.

    Interested in the RE brakes. They’re badged as being for E-bikes. Is that only in stopping power?

    I’ve got a really use number which gets through the queues and to someone who really knows what they’re dealing with.

    Does your ipod show as charging when plugged into the dock? That could help point to where the problem is; power, or something internal to do with sound. I think you can get hold of new dock bits, you can even get a bluetooth replacement which replaces the whole unit rather than just plugging into the existing pins.

    Does the 2 have an aux in round the back? Would be worth checking that too to narrow things down.

    They surely ain’t gonna get away with that. Slight difference on the top link but aside from that exactly the same. Just the name might even get them in trouble. Though I suspect the legal people will have already been all over it.

    I think they might be mine;

    I had a message from Hermes that my 2 parcels had been delivered, but there were no footprints in the snow and I was looking out of the window all day. This happened two days in a row.

    @mogrim – that’s when you should add the dash of milk. This will stop the eggs cooking in their own heat while you prep the toast.

    Butter then salt and pepper, then the eggs, whisk, turn heat down just as they start to turn add a dash of milk to stop the cooking and turn the heat off.

    @craig5 – speaks volumes about what kind of person you are. But that is just my opinion, so won’t bother you. Crack on.

    Yes but what’s that got to do with anything?

    Really **** angry and quite bored.

    Pissed off with generally every other stereotype; those that suggest no one should go anywhere, those that deny it, those that think the government are doing no better or worse than any other elected party, those that refuse to wear masks where they should, those that begrudge people from concrete jungles from coming and walking near us in the countryside, those that take it too far, those that regurgitate the shite from the shit newspapers as if it is gospel, the BBC for becoming just another sensationalist tabloid, the lot.

    That said, I feel very sympathetic towards those that are anxious/scared/shielding/doing their best/not having the life they should be (16/18 year olds)/will have to pay for it for the rest of their lives.

    Had exactly this last week. I eventually managed to find the least worn cog, wedged the whip against that, with a bit of back/forth tension. Attached the removed tool, and whacked it with a rubber mallet. Was enough to loosen the lockring.

    You’re saying here that > 0.33 is RED but you want between 0.33 and 0.99 is AMBER. Does not compute.
