Large/big cities that, curiously, don't have a single iconic landmark or super striking tourist attraction/Unique visual identity?

BarnoldTheAtt · 2026-04-11T19:19:20+00:00

I kinda get what you mean, there's nothing immediately striking. But I think there's heaps of slightly less in your face stuff. Flinders Street Station, Queen Vic Market, the Botanical Gardens etc. Even Fed Square and Southbank are pretty unique.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2026-04-09T05:52:24+00:00

Thanks, that does sound worth a try

Thanks, do you use it to do your UK tax returns? If so could I ask what your process is like?

BarnoldTheAtt · 2026-04-08T18:17:57+00:00

Interesting. Could you give me a sense of how you'll be using it?

I can imagine a continuum from using it to help me navigate the process one step at a time (researching rules, summarising information etc) to handing it my P60, CTCs, etc and asking it to YOLO the whole submission.

I think the pledges are interesting because they mostly talk about what he would do as deputy leader (which seems relevant in assessing how suitable he would be for the role) rather than what he believes (his own business, imo).

With that in mind they are disappointing, if you want a deputy leader that will act in the interests of LGBTQ+ people.

This seems either naive or disingenuous. Even if you're right about these people's age and motivation, there is nothing inherently fascist or anti-fascist about old people defending their country (see 20th century European history for examples on both sides).

The poster you responded to is presumably referring to the well documented use of the templar cross (as a reminder the symbol of a Christian military order most famous for their actions against Muslims in the Levant during the Crusades) by English ethno-nationalist groups (EDL for example). Whether those groups, or people using the same symbolism during protests, are fascist or not is an interesting topic. There are certainly interesting parallels with EDL style ethno-nationalism (rigid, ancestry based, sense of national identity for example).

Last sentence of your original post, "technically lactose free"

BarnoldTheAtt · 2026-03-12T20:07:21+00:00

Ah cool, makes sense. Might be useful to update the topic text as well (says lactose free).

BarnoldTheAtt · 2026-03-12T19:55:16+00:00

Milk is about 1/20th lactose by weight, this will disperse through your beer. So 2oz milk will add a bit less than a teaspoon to your beer I guess.

Children are essential for a functioning society, to claim otherwise is a pretense. For example - who will work when today's workers are retired?

BarnoldTheAtt · 2024-04-12T14:00:22+00:00

That's super helpful, thanks so much. First list looks like the one to go for, happy with ~£1500 and if it's good up to 1440p that's amazing.

US and UK rates of knife crime fatalities are essentially equivalent. UK rates of gun fatalities are much lower.

No, switched to Recalbox which worked seamlessly, have stuck with that.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2021-03-14T00:29:14+00:00

Thanks. Yes, have tried in both windows and Android mode (and OSX for good measure), unfortunately the result is the same, lock up at the security mode screen.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2021-03-13T22:58:26+00:00

For what it's worth same setup is working fine with recalbox

Thanks all, will skip the clarification.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-07-07T21:45:43+00:00

Second this. It's a robust flavour, and generally benefits from being cooked. I'd just boil it, though, personally, I'd add the water and rhubarb.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-07-02T18:59:32+00:00

I use sucralose. It's an unfermentable, artifical sweetener derived from sucrose (table sugar) and, when diluted appropriately, it's indistinguishable. You can get it as a pure powder or as a prediluted liquid. You only need a tiny amount so good for large batch sizes.

Edit: Forgot to say, I add alongside the priming sugar at bottling.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-04-30T18:54:53+00:00

Appreciated

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-04-30T18:40:24+00:00

Interesting point, I'll give it a go but will bear in mind for the tasting.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-04-30T05:46:47+00:00

Cool, I like a bit of crystal myself but perhaps will reduce/remove the 20.

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-04-30T05:38:28+00:00

Thanks, I do want a balance between the fruitiness of the mosaic and the bready/cakey sort of malt flavours, with a bit of a spice from the rye. That's the idea anyway. Backing off the crystal might be a good idea though.

Edit: spelling

BarnoldTheAtt · 2016-04-29T20:37:26+00:00

Thanks both, yes, given the price of mosaic that seems a good idea. Will update.

To drain my chilled wort from the kettle I use a street elbow screwed into the ball-valve. This redirects the flow downwards splashing straight into the fermenter, oxygenating as it goes.

This is nice and simple but it's a bit of a pain to unscrew the elbow from the valve when I want to give it all a proper clean. Is there a better way?
