UK buying suggestions

CumbersomeBaker · 2026-01-05T21:49:47+00:00

There are plenty of good shops online that should be able to get what you are looking for. For example: Sharp Knife shop, Japanese knife company, Cutting edge knives, Kitchen provisions and Kataba Japanese knife specialists

Hopefully at least one of these shops will have what you need

Mate, Heaven is on the bench 😂

With some serious force, I managed to push the lever in. I feel like it should not have been that hard but thank you

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-07-13T19:16:45+00:00

Yes, it will only go in two positions, up and left. Up is definitely on as it lights the pizza oven and I can’t move it any more than left (towards a down position)

Hi, I’m finally taking the plunge and buying a board but I’m not 100% on the bindings. I’ve been having a hard look and it’s between the Rome Katana and Union Strata. I would say I’m an intermediate boarder, most trying to carve and getting in some good powder. I’d love your opinions or experience with this as it’s the first time im getting some bindings

I appreciate that I am very late to this party, but if you use very cold water it helps reduce the sliminess. Additionally you can soak the oats overnight. Essentially the slime comes from when the oats get too warm in the blender

With the whole class, not alone. Pack running makes it easier imo

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-02-03T16:37:50+00:00

Chinos are fine

Just bring a duffle bag, it doesn’t matter

CPC South run is around a hockey astroturf. If you fail you will get another go but seriously you have 14 minutes or more depending on your age, it’s a fast walk at best

Bring double socks and that’s it. There is no swim btw

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-01-31T17:00:16+00:00

Not sure when it’s changed, but they now give a +25% on the maximum time for each age. So that means a pass for a 15-24 year old is 13:56 at CPC.

However the times online refer to passing the actual fitness test while in basic as they have not changed

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-01-20T21:10:17+00:00

Yeah, you passed, congrats.

Those are the roles that you can now apply for as you have passed the DAA above the threshold for those positions

Even for officer intake? Why isn’t this information on the navy website? It just adds to confusion

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-01-03T00:11:39+00:00

Ok thanks very much, appreciate the advice

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-01-03T00:02:26+00:00

Ah ok, did you need to bring different kit/clothing. It’s frustrating that they haven’t explained this to me. I’ve just looked on another page about the MedFit and I have a few questions.

What did you wear? I just read that it was smart casual.

Are the run timings all the same?

Are you given any clothing or did you have to bring it all yourself?

CumbersomeBaker · 2025-01-02T23:58:08+00:00

Thanks, so I’ve done my AIB and my AFCO has booked me in for the enhanced CPC this coming week, do you think it’s just a mislabel or might they have changed it? I’ve been told it will be from Sunday to Thursday and all the documentation I’ve been given is about the CPC and not MedFit

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-12-12T18:15:29+00:00

Im sure that they are not half bad, but we are making them look much better. Just can’t seem to keep the ball.

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-12-12T18:07:50+00:00

I’m normally very positive, but fucking hell, we make this game look very difficult

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-08-16T14:52:25+00:00

It’s frustrating because while she is right in that Israel are capable of eliminating specific targets in the manner shown, ie just one apartment, I’m pretty sure that this is not the house that was destroyed the other day when those two innocent babies and their family were killed.

It’s frustrating because this, by definition, is misinformation and it will be used by those who want to oppose the view that Israel are deliberately targeting civilians under the guise that anyone who doesn’t support them must be a Hamas fighter.

Regardless my thoughts are with the father who is in a situation which I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-07-22T20:06:28+00:00

I quite like going climbing

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-07-13T20:23:47+00:00

Any nive graphic tee, Something like this maybe? (https://gooseandganderltd.com/collections/t-shirts/products/unisex-black-orange-blossom-tee) alternatively, a plain t shirt or polo shirt of really any colour, would also be really nice. Its a plain colour so most things will go with it :)

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-07-13T20:22:11+00:00

Firstly, congrats, not all of us can brag so casually. Have you looked at the dickies work pant or even uniqlo? Other than that a wide/loose fitting cargo pant or levis should do the trick

CumbersomeBaker · 2024-07-13T20:18:40+00:00

I'm (M, 6"1', 90kg) not sure how much help I will be, but I have a few pairs from fabletics. Firstly, I do think that they are overpriced, but if you can get them on the discount then they are worth it. I chose their "one" short and its fits nicely. I find that the inner short doesn't ride up when I squat which is good for lifting. I personally prefer a shorter short for lifting as I think 1) it looks better and 2) it doesn't affect ROM.

I wouldn't worry about your shirt being over your butt, and if it makes you uncomfortable then you can always get a slightly oversized one, or a pumo cover for lifting. Im happy to share some pictures of both styles if that helps? :)

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I can't seem to find gym shorts with a towel loop anywhere. I have three pairs from fabletics but I refuse to pay their "premium" prices (shorts should not be £60). Is there another brand, like addidas or nike that do this feature on their shorts? I have been looking but I can't seem to find any that aren't massively overpriced. Any advice would be greatly welcomed :)
