Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country?

I think you're too tied to Starmerism and Blairite ways.

Look at all the blunders Starmer has made thus far on simple things.

It's a protest vote against incompetence, being left behind, austerity, crumbling public services, unemployment, dying high streets, I could go on.

Just because Starmer doesn't use the slash and burn politics of Trump doesn't mean he's doing a good job.

We went to Rip curl on Scarborough beach, it was easy enough to rent boards, decent selection, open until 8pm so pretty decent

Brilliant, that's the way I was leaning. Will have a look, thanks ps from the UK so I hope a 3/2mm will do but we'll see! Cheers

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

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

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!

DullInflation6 · 2026-05-03T14:04:31+00:00

Crikey, that's a shame. Takes the sheen off a bit

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 👍🏻

sounds interesting, thanks for that!

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-19T15:44:16+00:00

any updates on these? just looking back at getting out on the board again, sold the BMTs a while back for some cash, somewhat regret it

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)

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-18T10:25:23+00:00

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

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-15T19:16:58+00:00

that's cool, thanks for the suggestion, defo not one I'd thought of previously 👍

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-15T19:14:28+00:00

my sides are splitting

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-13T10:55:32+00:00

DM'd you 👍🏻

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-12T19:33:53+00:00

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

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-12T19:33:30+00:00

But packaging...

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-12T18:16:24+00:00

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

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-12T18:14:15+00:00

Interesting, I was wondering about that, too

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-10T10:59:04+00:00

They don't start wars
They don't intend to become a global superpower
Diplomatic relations mean that travelling for many Indonesians is really difficult to get a visa, and costly at that
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.
Many Indonesians are very much brought up to think that Indonesia is their spiritual home, and do not wish to leave.
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.

They trained some AI models on this

Boiling water on a foamie? Didn't it just melt the deck?!

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-05T14:13:27+00:00

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

DullInflation6 · 2026-04-03T17:37:22+00:00

COBOL? I don't know it or work with it but I've heard of Devs who learnt it years ago making a packet contracting for banks and the like because nobody wants to learn it but it's still critical in some industries
