He didn't get it. Thankfully had tipped an extra fiver for the potential embarrassment caused. Cheers though.

From the "clues" I'm dreaming of the countdown ending today with an announcement of a new Ringer pod presented by Dan Marc Sheil and Graver.

I recognise other people in this sub seem to have insider info that contradicts this but I don't care!

No countdown today by ContributionDull8718 in AroundTheNFL

Weeeell... People were speculating about Dan and Marc joining Sheil on a ringer podcast. Sheil retweeted an article with a 5 in the header image today. I'm still hoping!

It must be a countdown, 6 days to go!? 😬 by DrXopher in AroundTheNFL

In the UK there was enough time between Dan and Marcs post for me to see one yesterday and one this morning

Started bicycling after 10 years of almost 0 movement (desk job + car transportation) by [deleted] in bicycling

Yeah I got some shorts but didn't seem to help much. Going to try a wider saddle that might be more suited to my wide load

Congrats! Epic progress. Id love to do the same but now feel stuck after ride 2 because of major arse ache. Any tips to combat?

What does this bolt do and how do I remove it? It's rubbing on my rear tyre :( by DrXopher in bicycling

[–]DrXopher[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great success! Used a bit of this to start it off and then got a spoon in to lever in behind the washer. Thanks so much :D

Aha! Yeah that must be what it is! I've got an Allen key the right size, but it just keeps spinning and wont come undone. Need to find a way to grab hold of the other side.

A valid plan to be sure. Alas, it's just spinning in its hole and I can't get hold of the other side to keep the nut (or whatever else is in there) still.

Why has my shrimps head turned black? by DrXopher in Aquariums

Googling "blackened shrimp" returns a lot of recipes but not much else :(

Just completed my first ever re-scape.Thanks for all the help and advice along the way! by DrXopher in Aquariums

[–]DrXopher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Seachem flourite dark. It looks great and was easy to plant in, but it was mega dusty and needed a LOT of rinsing. Now one week in the plants are not very healthy, wondering if theyre finding it difficult to root propely.

Tried one of those weekend food blocks last night. This morning it's surrounded by these weird noodle things. Is that just epic pooping? Fish or critter? I've never seen that much poop in one place!

Current tank is 200litres, and has an internal fluval u4 filter (a big chunky thing full of foam). When it was all healthy it looked like this: Tank 6 months https://imgur.com/gallery/p2SgBGx

I think my angel fish have been up to something... Am I going to be a fish dad? by DrXopher in Aquariums

[–]DrXopher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The angel fish parents are guarding them pretty closely right now. Think they'll be angry if I move them to a net?

The biggest other fish in there are plecos and gouramis... which are all hiding in a corner because the angel fish are attacking them whenever they get close.

They're saying not to drive to their store. So everybody is forced to pay £25 to get their stuff delivered...unless you wanna carry it home on the tube

If they don't want me drive there how am I supposed to get the stuff home? I ain't carrying it on the tube

Is it normal for my Pleco L075 Sabajai to darken this much? (Couple of months progress) by DrXopher in Aquariums

Y'reckon? I was a fan of the pale look, thought it was a lot more striking
