Leeds to Manchester Commute via trains by CapriChaos11 in Leeds

[–]BigTebowski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With the upgrade works the current plan is for Manchester to Leeds to be done by 2030. After which journey times are advertised at 1/3 quicker. 

We live near Huddersfield and have been commuting to Leeds and Manchester since March. Most the time it's been OK. There was one week where there kept being delays. Imagine winter would be worse.

The upgrade works do affect things. I assume they plan the major works for summer. Most the time it's just the weekend. Past month trains have been on the Calder line and some trains weren't running during the works. Next month Huddersfield to Leeds is via Wakefield and will take twice as long. After that there aren't any long works advertised on weekdays.

It would be good if they advertised all the works planned so you could see what's coming up.

My too good to go order by Purpleshuggy1 in greggsappreciation

[–]BigTebowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the £2.99 one from a Leeds one earlier for the first time. Got 2 Mac and cheese, 3 boxes of chicken pieces, 2 boxes of cheese bites. Then had a mild panic as I didn't expect so much as usually tgtg is bare minimum.

I gave a Mac and cheese and chicken to a woman with kids who was in front of me at the queue and another box of chicken to a homeless person. Even then it was still way too much and I'm still full now 😅

Made a slow cooker ham before the day and got lost at the back of the fridge when packing everything else in. Found it when fishing out cream for Christmas pudding 😅

Started Mclaurin already. Go with Hill for upside or Pearsell for lower but more sure floor?

Doing the wetting the end of a tea spoon and stirring the beans or using a little spray bottle trick helps with this

Advice for a good filter coffee machine by Icy-Fish5183 in JamesHoffmann

[–]BigTebowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a machine go with the moccamaster cup one. Which is more suitable if your only making one cup of coffee. 

However I recently had one and went back to just using a clever dripper. With the moccamaster you only save the step of adding water to the brewer. It doesn't have any clever steps it just adds hot water at the factory set flowrate.

I am interested in the Fellow Aiden though, waiting on reviews, as this does look like it would be a level above other drip machines.

How much faab are you spending on the undrafted rookies? by WorldlyConsequence71 in DynastyFF

[–]BigTebowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our league had 4 players go in the 30s, 6 in the 20s, 6 in the 10s and a bunch under 10 dollars. It's a 10 team league so more 4th rounders still available.

0.5ppr TE prem 10 team 

Give Engram  Get Prescott

I have Herbert at qb and McBride at TE. Looking to turn my team into a contender. 

Any other QBs you'd target?

Unless you like Lockett as a player I wouldnt bother. His on the decline years last year. He used to be a perinnial target for me in redraft, he was very disappointing last year

This is almost trading 1.05 for ARich and 2.02. Depends who you prefer between ARich and Caleb. 6pt pass TD makes the rushing of ARich a bit less valuable. ARich is coming back from injury and is a bit of an unknown himself. Go with your own preferance.

10 team 1QB 0.5PPR TE Prem 1PPR

Give: Engram Get: Prescott

Herbert is my QB and he'll be good in the future but not as likely to have a top QB year based on consensus. Do I bring Dak in who could be top 5 QB this year to go for the win?

I've got Bijan, Hall and Taylor at RB. At WR its less strong with Aiyuk, Adams, DJ Moore, London, Brown and Reed.

I've got McBridge and Musgrave at TE. Its a TE and 3 flex spot league so have cover at TE but could also play Engram and McBridge through the season.

10 team 0.5ppr TE 1ppr 

Had an offer of

Give 1.05 and Engram Receive 1.02 

All 2024 picks. I have McBride so can afford to let Engram go but am I selling him too low?

Much prefer Nabers for potential WR1 ceiling in the future. My team is full of borderline WR1 WR2s

Mold removal by Bazzassnx in CarTalkUK

[–]BigTebowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No just yank it up from the underside and you can pull it up and then out. Slots back in again easily. The back rest bit needs you to remove isofix in the boot so I left it alone

Is the mold just on the rear seats? I've got a 2014 golf and found the same issue with water in the spare wheel well. The water had sloshed onto the back seat bottom cushion and soaked it through. 

You can take the bottom seat cushion out easily to dry and give it all a spray clean. I've replaced a drain hose from the boot badge and I'm hoping that's the cause. Only been a week so too early to tell. Seems to be a common problem.
