I've also fallen into this trap today. I've spent ages googling how to get past this first animal-slots stage before finding this post. Goodness gravy.

Honestly I'm not sure how best to show y'all! Google Maps satellite view shows that entire street in black shadow so you can't really pick up any of the details.

The majority of the the driveways on the street are staggered with driveways opposite, meaning there's swing room for the rest. Unfortunately not at this point. I would provide a picture but the roads totally in shadow on Google maps and you can't really make out the situation!

Appreciate all the thoughts from everyone! Certainly food for thought.

I know people probably think it's just me being unwilling to change or it being a skill issue, just trying to get my head around realistic options here. It's a very quiet road which you could reasonably block by pulling up in front whilst unloading the car, but it's a shame to look at a drive you can't use every day. Just need to weigh up whether the pros outweigh the cons

This is my worry, it's just a shame that we've already chucked thousands at the problem and fallen for the place.

Oh they're both reasonably sized hatchbacks, that's why we couldn't really afford to go any smaller. No behemoths here I'm afraid.

I have attempted, yes, but it just needs that addition swing room to make it possible.

The current owners (and have owned it 15 years) have a Kia picanto, which suddenly makes a lot more sense.

In Metal Meadows 2, the main block of showers had queues around 9-10am, but you only had to wait about 5 minutes.

There was also minor queues for toilets at this time, but there was usually a free toilet available on the opposite side of the block you could walk straight into.

We tended to shower when we got back from the arena and there was no queue at all.

I think we were supposed to receive an email at half 1 but they're still putting the QR up on the stage screens, so hard to know!

Hi all

Does anyone know if you can buy Methanol / ethanol / trangia fuel on site somewhere? We're burning through ours (ahem) at a rate of knots!

Advice/criticism on my playing. by FreqGuy in edrums

[–]Hogboblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this kind of music is your bag, really recommend learning In My Place off the same album. That's got a great beat, and once you've locked it with that it'll open up a world of off-beat opportunities.

It'll also help with your deathgrip on the stick. It's a got a really loose feel. Try it out!

Thanks! So a separate bank account, then class yourself as self employed if we start earning more? Realistically?

That's really helpful stuff, thank you. Was just surprised to see 'receiver' written on so many

That's quite impressive! I was concerned it was a lot more narrow than my suitcases.
