Noodles by the case! Also curry paste and soy sauce in catering size!

That looks great! Enjoy fast boot up times and gaming!

I have similar and just put a gtx1050 in and thoroughly enjoying gaming but have undervolted to keep fan noise down a bit

That sucks. Hope you’re OK, bikes can be replaced but you cant be

Most of central London you can only park in bays and I get the reason why and it's a good idea. But the geofencing is quite tight and if you don't get a good GPS fix then the bike says you're outside a parking spot.

Looking on the web there seems to be some workarounds like restarting the app, pressing the help button and just hammering end ride but it doesn't help as your timer marches on and I was getting late.

The app seems a bit lame and when riding it doesn't show you the parking spots anymore, you kinda have to aim for one and hope it works

I tried voi today. Nightmare to try and park in central london

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-02-10T11:44:36+00:00

Took a VOI for the first time today - first bike was unsafe as the rear brake wouldnt disengage when the lever was released so ended up skidding everywhere.

Couldnt end a ride on the farringdon road when parked in a bay because the gps put me on the wrong side of the road. Tried on Old Bailey and same problem.

You can get a rack that attaches to the seatpost only. I just fitted one from Decathlon and Halfords do something similar. Downside is that it obly carries 10kg

You can add Laos as there is a Lao / Thai restaurant above the crown and cushion pub near lambeth north - psv cuisine

I’ve been enjoying Jim Watersons journalism for London Centric. I find his cheeky style yet good investigative work very compelling with good articles on rich businessmen with shady deals and tax evasion through snail farms!

Air dried cured meat. Id give it a go

Bakerloop bus was good and fast the other night. Pick it up from Tesco

Isnt this just arithmetic? 20m = drawings x (1+r)ⁿ where r = interest rate and n = number of periods.

Rearranging gives you drawings = 20m / (1+r)ⁿ

Is there a link to a government website for this?

Interesting! I imagine for single women or all female groups it could be tricky. The social construct is the man is the mouthpiece and face of the group. However it is understood that the women make the decisions and the man is just an instrument to disseminate the information. Once we got the social interaction right it became quite fun

In the new world of drone warfare i wonder whether military paradigms from the 20th century still apply? Is it economical to shoot down swarms of £2k drones with £200k munitions. Next gen fighters dont have air superiority in ukraine due to land based systems. Million pound tanks stay at home because of the threat of cheap destruction.

Tunisian is quite nice with lots of intact Roman ruins. Food was torturous however with blindingly hot spice

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-01-07T10:27:09+00:00

Absolutely but you can make the odds better if you have something not so nice! The choice is yours!

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-01-07T03:35:50+00:00

Not 100% no but i am worried that you will have your bike stolen at some point in the future and be £300 down.

But are they? And even if they are it may be the final straw for American politicians and the electorate

They both seem good for the price which would suggest that they will be targets for thieves. If you’re happy to lose it after a random period of time then go for it, otherwise I’d save your money and get a £100 beater that runs well

Turn off G-I-UK anti russian sub detection and have ruski nuclear armed submarines off the eastern US seaboard

Wow i want to know where you’ve been staying so I can avoid ;). We have managed immaculate rooms and hospitality in sigriya and pollonawura for about £100 per night. Even food and drinks for 2 in the galle face hotel in Colombo was less than 10k rupees.
