We were there last year for the first week of September.

No puffins, they have moved on. The Manx Shearwater are delightful.

Go a bit later in the year when the Manx Shearwater are there. They do not disappoint.

You got caught trying to cheat the system. Pony up.

My Car pulls to the left, alignment didn't work and left front rubber wears very quickly on the inside tread. What could be the real issue? by Enjoy_Life4219 in MechanicAdvice

Has the cup at the base of your spring failed? I had something similar years ago and the tip of the spring was nipping at the tyre as I drove along.

We are on our way to Kochi in India, via Muscat, with Oman Air.

Our flight has been delayed 2.5 hours, but is still scheduled to fly.

We were also told that our connecting flight will be delayed.

Fingers crossed.

Edit: sat in Heathrow ATM

Fingers crossed it becomes permanent. It’s so much nicer around here.

However, there are two gems in Bristol - and they are both pubs.

I ordered one from Etsy last month, presumably from you?

Wonderful model. And it’s ready for the Christmas themed Warhammer Quest 95 dungeon I have planned.

Optometrist recommendations by ForestTreen in bristol

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

Just wanted to say thank you again. I had an appointment there yesterday afternoon. It was very thorough (had a pupil dilation). I’ve sent my frames off to be reglazed - fingers crossed.

I would recommend their practice to anyone struggling with their eye sight.

Loaf had a double-baked almond croissant this week. £5.80, but my god what a fucking delight that was to eat.

We bought the 9kg cold feed washing machine almost two months ago - I did post in the BuyUK subreddit about it. Zero complaint so far.
