Galewolf posted:My client drove me to see the road to Battle and, holy poo poo, that was incredibly beautiful road to drive in the early evening. I'm speechless about how amazing it was. I don't know how much is open in Hastings, but the Fishermans' End of the seafront is worth a look, walking from the pier to there will take you past the Old Town as well. It's a shame the pier burned down, the penny and retro-video arcades used to be great, and the fresh doughnuts they made in front of you where amazing as a 9 year old. When you do the battlefield tour, remember that the Saxon army under Harold had just fought off an invading Viking force, and spent the previous three days on a forced march from the North -and they where holding off a larger and better equipped Normal force until the shield wall was broken by part of the line going after some retreating cavalry... My Grandad used to do guided tours round the Old Town, and I spent most of my Christmases in Hastings growing up. Renfield fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jun 25, 2020 |

Olympic Mathlete posted:Also because they're gears in a small box they're super fiddly to fix if they ever go wrong and as they're nowhere near as ubiquitous as a normal gear setup you'll struggle to find anyone other than a greybeard in a tiny shop to sort it for you. Any city with a Cycle hire scheme - like London, Cardiff or milton keynes is using bikes with hub gears, so find out who fixes those and go there - I used to work for the one in Cardiff and it's run out of a small charity in Pontcanna, but since they're fixing 20+ vandalised bikes every day, they know those things inside out.

goatface posted:Wales has barely even unlocked yet. Locking down again wouldn't change much. In Cardiff, other than the pubs being shut, you'd not know there's s lockdown at all. Everyone is ignoring distancing, not wearing masks, paying cash when they could use a card etc. Lidl have even given up on single bagging the bakery stuff

The Lidl near me (like, my closest shop apart from the dodgy corner shop where the kids on bikes that are drug couriers hang out) has stopped bothering to bag there bakery stuff, so no matter how nice the croissants are (and they are nice), I'm not going there. Edit - have my cat, sitting out in the rain, in the cat-house I got him  Renfield fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 11, 2020 |

Work, the co-op, have a range of vegan sausage-rolls and steak bakes in the "hot food" range. Only problem is my shop doesn't have the baking trays to do them yet (they are at least serious about keeping meat / vegan stuff separate). I have a case of each in my freezer.

Bobby Deluxe posted:i like solefald and i like this thread and everyone os going insane right now and it makes me sad I'm in Wales, where there is no mask mandate, and everyone is behaving like everything is normal. I just put flea-stuff on my cat, and it's raining, so hes inside and meowing incessantly as the fleas act up as they die. I've been playing the poo poo out of the new Samurai game - Ghost of Tsushima, and find myself composing very bad haiku when out in the real world. Without a Mask. No thought for others. Cheesecake lung soon.

Melissa McCarthyism posted:giffgaff it is thanks thread people Giffgaff are expensive on PAYG - I was with them for years until I got the Three home broadband and realised that GiffGaff charge literally 5 times what they do for a PAYG SIM. (mins - 15p vs 3p, txt 5p vs 2p and data 5p vs 1p per Mb) Also, nth'ing Huawei - I got a PSmart (upgraded P10) and although it's two generations behind current, it's great for everything I want - and is old enough to be pre-ban, so still has Google support.

ThomasPaine posted:I thought that was only in the states? Google works fine on my Mate 20. Has this changed in the newer ones here in the UK too? Google are a US company and banned from doing business with Huawei. They (Huawei) are still using android, as it's open source- but, like Amazon tablets (and phones... remember those!) don't use Google services like the store etc. But it wasn't made retroactive, so my P-Smart (And Fartman's P20) still work as well.

Don't have a computer, and use the phone to stream everything. I'm on 3's 4/5G home broadband, and use more than that even when I'm not downloading 90Gb of Final Fantasy

In 2007 I went to Canada for the second (and so far last) time and was seriously thinking about moving there. Dr Who - Love and monsters - the answer is this: Blue Peter (the kids show) had a design-a-monster competition and the winner got made into an episode. It was literally designed by a child. It's a terrible kids show that I stopped watching not long after Capaldi took over.

This sounds very familiar - I've recently been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (and we're looking in to medication options); that took 8 hours of being shut in a small room in the hospital for every kind of test you can think of. Talk to your GP about this, if it's a big chance in your behaviour, there might be something they can do you for.

JollyBoyJohn posted:Nah its behind the fireplace, don't think you can install a flue there You can get modern, high efficiency back-boilers - they run the flue system through the chimney and have an electric fire as the front. Only thing is you have to run a condensate drain pipe to a foul-drain or outside, which can be awkward if the thing is in the living room.

Collateral posted:Don't most gas fires in houses without chimernies have those as standard? You can box them off, even run tv/network cables through the boxes. You do get gas fires without a flue - they are either Very low Kw (depending on room size and ventilation) and release the products of combustion directly into the room, or have a catalytic convertor that deals with the CO. A Back-Boiler (and fire) will have a flue - usually a lined chimney, so what they do is run new plastic flue pipes through that. If you mean the condense drain, that's just a plastic pipe that runs downhill to the drain. You'd not want to run anything through one in use, as the liquid is acidic.

Yeah, hitting thermostatic valves is a good way of unsticking them, but "method 2" in that video is a good way to pull the pin out completely and have a stream of dirty water hitting the ceiling if you don't know what you're doing. Towel rails are a good place that air gets trapped in a system, if the rad is hot at the bottom then bleeding will fill it back up with water and it'll get hot properly. Might also need rebalancing - if there's been a change (like sludge has built up a bit), you might need to unwind the *other* valve a little (like a quarter turn), but this can stop other rads working if your not carefull.
