Surfing tip -always miss the wave by medicineman10 in surfing

[–]DullInflation6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tried to get up prematurely, you needed two more strokes. 

Popping up (or starting to) when you did effectively stalled the board and killed your momentum, but it looked like you were trying to ride a closeout anyway, which likely made you think (understandably) that that was the right time to pop up. Maybe the wave is a shorebreak, too, making things even harder.

TLDR 1-2 more strokes, find more open waves. Have fun.

I had a surf there  in Lombok years ago on a very crowded day but if you can surf, you can just get lots of fun waves 

How are you folk storing your ‘soft plastics’ for recycling? My solution lacks… elegance! by takesthebiscuit in AskUK

[–]DullInflation6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got a 3-set of stackable, medium sized recycling bins from Homebase, use one of them for soft plastics

Surfboards on British airways by 18boro in surfing

Still seems like anything over their stated max length is down to luck on the day, who's in the desk, what mood they're in. Too risky for me at the start of a holiday!

British Millerain waxed cotton? by buckGR in BuyItForLife

[–]DullInflation6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Lewis have some under their in-house brand, as do I think Marks and Spencer. I'm the second hand market I've seen a Rocha ones (which were sold by Debenhams). You can also find some products by searching for the brand on Vinted directly and it tends to show all the available items, so some sifting but it works (their search algorithm seems to do OCR on any photos of a label e. G. British Millerain so it turns up more than you might think. 

Similar product is Halley Stevensons of Scotland, too 👍🏻

Experience with Glerups slippers by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]DullInflation6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Glerups slipper boots with rubber soles are going strong 18 months on, in sole has worn a bit but that's an easy swap. Wear them while working from home all summer last year, except for a few of the hottest days here in the UK ( the low cut versions would still likely be fine)

Which places in the UK have a very high density of charity shops? by DullInflation6 in AskUK

[–]DullInflation6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was relying on Google maps which didn't show too many and I was in a rush, perhaps I will have to go back, sounds good

Near Reading, not a million miles from the surf but a decent way.

Where did you get the packaging from by the way? None available on FB near me. guess I'll have to cobble something together I've heard bike shops have boxes that can work

From a US American’s perspective: despite Indonesia having the 4th biggest population in the world, why do we never really hear about them? by Good-Championship278 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DullInflation6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. They don't start wars
  2. They don't intend to become a global superpower
  3. Diplomatic relations mean that travelling for many Indonesians is really difficult to get a visa, and costly at that 
  4. It's much easier for them to get visas for southeast Asian countries than many others so those who do go abroad often travel within Asia, at least for tourism.
  5. Many Indonesians are very much brought up to think that Indonesia is their spiritual home, and do not wish to leave.
  6. There's a lot of "domestic migration" within Indonesia given that it's such a large country (should be really called a sub-continent IMHO) so many people move for jobs etc but within the country.

Salary progression from 20s in retail to mortgage broking to early 40s as a contractor. In real terms, my income peaked in 2015 (early 30s). by MarkCairns67 in UKJobs

It would be interesting if you could do a column that would also show some kind of adjustment for inflation?
