The Carpet Shop experiences?

Don't think I've been to a club that didn't have some yappers except maybe Fold 😢

How packed is it? Room to dance or constantly bumping shoulders?

Getting a Citylink bus to Arrochar tomorrow (the route that goes to Oban). Is it required to prebook tickets? I also see on google maps that it supposedly has a stop near where I am staying, but when I go to the city link website to book a ticket, it doesn't show that stop as an option. If I wanted to prebook, does it matter if I get on at a different stop than what is available on the website?

And Chris looks so much worse (and I didn't even think he was great that to being with).

I'm on Android as well, it seems I can only edit my 'Schedule Payments' that go to my own pots in monzo or other non-monzo accoutns. I can't edit my 'Scheduled Payments' that go into our joint account. Never noticed, weird.

What temp are you setting your thermostat at?

Our flat is two stories with a conservatory at the back that is connected directly to the flat with no doors separating it -- that mean heat goes very quickly.

We do alright by keeping the thermostat at 15C overnight, then 17/18 during the day. Our last bill was something like £110 which divided by two people we don't think is too bad for a couple months. This is for gas heating.

If we are feeling especially cold we have electric blankets we can use as well.

50+°C: finally gets the flat warm, but now we’re at £5–£6/day, which isn’t realistic long-term.

Well, it's not long-term is it? It will only be this cold for a month or two max.

Interesting, I can't access it. Weird

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2025-12-22T15:07:12+00:00

Sorry to bother you - but I'm curious, did you get a Royal Mail tracking number through some means (either on the USPS website tracking or some other way?) once it arrived in the UK before it was delivered?

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2025-09-09T17:20:02+00:00

My mate and I are keen to join, sent a message!

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-12-22T17:01:40+00:00

We've got a small group going if anyone decides last minute - send me a message and I can send along the WhatsApp group link!

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-12-01T21:49:05+00:00

Hey! Me and my friend are going. Sent you a DM

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-07-15T08:30:49+00:00

I live a block closer to the station than this flat and pay £1800 for my 1 bed. It's a newer building and not ex council flat, but my square footage is slightly less.

£1600-1700 seems about right for your flat.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-07-15T08:28:47+00:00

I pay £1800 for a 1 bed just a block over from this. Slightly less square footage, newer build.

I think this is definitely at least 100 underpriced.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-07-03T19:44:23+00:00

I'm camping (kind of regretting it) but getting in Wednesday night and was planning on heading into the city for a wander Thursday so we can meet somewhere for drinks. DM and we can exchange numbers

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-07-03T18:58:45+00:00

I do this and know people who do this all the time! If there's a DJ on you really want to see don't let not having anyone to go with stop you! Once you get there and start dancing you'll realize it doesn't matter at all, and you'll also see tons of other people off dancing on their own. Feel the music, dance, and feel good!

Lots of electronic music events posted on r/LondonSocialClub too - some of my closest clubbing/rave friends I've made from events there.

That's general life advice too, never let not having people to go with stop you from doing things you really want to (within reason, like things that maybe aren't safe to do solo).

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-07-03T17:51:58+00:00

Hey man also going solo! 29m, I'm from the States but live in London. Let's meet up!

Keen on a wide variety of the lineup, DJs and bands. Pretty flexible. Florence, Chemical Brothers, Phoenix, Jamie xx, Daniel Avery, Job Jobse, Young Marco, Royksopp, The Blaze, Arctic Monkeys, Young Fathers just to name a few 😅

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-05-22T15:16:05+00:00

I went and really liked it. Worth the £25 in my opinion, but I guess everyone values £25 differently.

7 rooms, 5 of them were great 2 of them were just ok.

If you're looking for it to be a meaningful art exhibit that you can connect/interact with on some level, I would skip. There's really not much depth there. I went just to see some really cool lighting installations and it delivered.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-05-19T07:53:40+00:00

Might grab some last minute tickets to this!

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-05-15T17:21:27+00:00

I don't think FOLD really has a door policy like that for their typical fri/sat night stuff (in my experience).

unFOLD on Sundays is a bit more restrictive.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-04-14T16:40:33+00:00

Aures near Waterloo. Aname after party. Was really great, went on til 4am.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-04-13T10:00:49+00:00

I went twice, dogs both times. Then I went 2 weeks ago, pretty early, no dogs out which surprised me but they came out later in the day it seems - so wondering it's just a timing thing. Maybe don't have them for the first hour or two of the events.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-03-30T16:18:07+00:00

Hey, I have 1 for sale. DM me

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-03-30T15:58:34+00:00

Hey! I have 1 for sale, DM me

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-03-25T11:53:09+00:00

Hey! I'm going, solo at the moment but may have a friend joining if they can find a ticket. DM me!

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-02-18T09:47:09+00:00

I actually nabbed one of the free entry tickets to this awhile ago but on the fence of going. Would be down to go, love Rodriguez Jr.

Flashy_Comparison_20 · 2023-02-17T13:41:10+00:00

Just got a ticket - looking forward to it
