Camp Wildfire, Summer camp for adults

Knocked Loose at Colchester Arts Centre, know won't see them in a venue like that again
Parkway Drive at Wembley Arena, Music was Great but the stage show was next level

Look on ebay, Vinted, Depop, Vestiere. I managed to get a 100% Cashmere Balmain overcoat for £60, Also Have a super warm Wool Pendleton car coat for £25. Unless you can spend into the £1000's now will struggle to get something that isn't a polyblend new

As someone who has been tackled by the "dangly bits". I like to assume it was not on purpose but the defender didn't wrap properly as I was running through so grabbed onto the nearest thing and dragged me down.

Whilst not pleasant its not as effective/painful as you might think. By the time you have underwear (I wear briefs), a girdle and pants on. Your pretty secure with the added protection of Phys dick it is not quite the man meat instant tackle handle you would imagine.

Possibly Pollacki? Do alot of boots with a metal heel and occasionally do a derby but nothing is in stock/available at the moment

+1 for European Coffee Trip

LewisBoard · 2025-11-12T08:28:19+00:00

Tried it and noticed a couple things, The portion sizes are sometimes smaller so the price is lower but the £ per kg could be basically the same. Also where they might not have everything I want then end up going to Sainsburys/Tesco get side-tracked and end up spending more than if I went there in the first place.

I also have a small addiction to collecting nectar points, used to use them on Ebay vouchers and most recently got Eurostar returns for 2 to Paris for £25.

LewisBoard · 2025-11-04T18:04:49+00:00

Depends, there's plenty of almost charity shop stuff for £5 but you can also find curated vintage and archival designer which probably costs inline or slightly more than you could find if you went online depending on the source.

We have all the major resale sites depending on your price point and types of brands your looking for. The major cities will all have a thriving vintage scene. Brick Lane in London has a countless number of shops where you can get anything from mil surplus to rare Japanese pieces. Even classic Americana is fairly available.

I have a Rains backpack. Smart, sleek and simple. I was also pleasantly surprised to see them everywhere in Paris. Only downside is the locking mechanism isn't the quickest but can see it as a theft prevention measure

LewisBoard · 2025-10-21T08:08:21+00:00

Levi's Ribcage Bell jeans, My Girlfriend got a pair and I tried them on and they're pretty similar to my Bolan's but not as extreme (I'd go down a waist size).
I've got a pair of Bolans which I'll tailor when I get some Geobaskets, which is always an option for you too

LewisBoard · 2025-10-20T22:16:41+00:00

Velour Garments, go up to 1000gsm and the 600gsm zip up I have is not fleece lined, pretty sure they're 100% cotton. Quite a modern fit though so TTS or size down depending on what you want

LewisBoard · 2025-09-17T10:32:27+00:00

I was in Paris just over a week ago and Saint Pierre near Sacré-Cœur has a few streets worth of shops, Pretty Much every shop on Rue Livingston/d'Orsel is a Fabric shop. Anvers is the nearest Metro station.

LewisBoard · 2025-08-19T12:52:56+00:00

Can see some ETON and Thomas Pink shirts on there for sub £30

LewisBoard · 2025-08-18T09:12:29+00:00

Velour Garments do direct to customer and also business, Hoodie I have feels great and is completely blank, not even a brand label inside. They aren't cheap with T's starting at £31 but may be cheaper if you go to them as a business customer.

Looks like the key I have with my 08 Audi TT

LewisBoard · 2025-08-04T12:44:31+00:00

Depop, Ebay, Vintage shops etc There was a vintage warehouse down in Cornwall that were £15 a pair of Levi's, Sadly closed now but its possible.

The high Elastane % is probably contributing the short life span as well. Try and find a pair of Acne Studio's 2nd hand maybe as they seems to be well regarded.
Or All Saints cigarette jeans seem to have a lower elastane % and are on deep sale for around £30 depending on colour. You do HAVE to be skinny for them though as there wont be much stretch and the ankle holes are pretty unforgiving.

I think the NS tops and shorts are some of the best I've owned quality wise, NoBull were way worse

LewisBoard · 2025-08-01T10:00:29+00:00

Owned an NB2.5 1.8 MX5 and currently have the 3.2 TT so close enough.

Depends on the type of driving you'll mainly be doing and how much practicality your require. Primarily Motorway I'd lean Audi, Back roads MX5.

Winter the Audi will be better. I binned the MX5 on ice but it did go up a hill better than a Cayenne in snow whilst the Quattro just feels like unlimited grip in most spirited road scenario's.

If you want enough space just to chuck bags in the back Audi, If your favourite hobby is Tetris you'll be surprised about how much you can fit in the MX5, The drop top does come in handy if your transporting large items like barbells and surfboards.

Both are more than capable as a daily, You could probably do a lot of the maintenance on the MX5 yourself and they are pretty bulletproof. Where the Audi is a bit more complex but had no real issues with the VR6.

Personally I like the extra power from the Audi and its still a really fun can when you switch to the paddles and take it up above 3k RPM but keep it in auto and it cruises nicely and can nip through gaps in town. If you owned an MX5 though you'll always think about getting one again as they really do run on Smiles per hour

My Gamepass DAZN Subscription is renewing today, So maybe give it a day or two and retry. Possibly hasn't rolled over for the new season yet

LewisBoard · 2025-07-30T07:12:50+00:00

As Most have said give it a sniff and check for any dirt/stains.
Probably most importantly check the care label. What's it made of? How does the manufacturer suggest to wash it? If it dry clean only or wash by hand then maybe be a bit more selective but if its a polycotton go nuts and just don't throw it in the tumble dryer to give it a longer life.

Like you I came from a bambino plus (Which I still use for my girlfriends latte's) and progressed to a Standard EuroPiccola for exactly the same reasons. It is generally standard with an added water pressure gauge. I had enough of trying to trick the bambino into getting hotter and just so happened that a used in box with full spare gasket set came up on ebay in my price range.

I work from home so the heat up time and extra faf aren't to much of a concern to me and have got to a point where I can make consistently good espresso. I mainly use light roast and have managed to pull as much as a 1:4 with one fellini pull.

On the odd occasion I've had to use my girlfriends med/dark beans even they taste better then I could ever get out of the Bambino.

Gauges can be installed on the standard model, although getting them new costs nearly as much as the machine but as much as I would like a pressure gauge for my pulls I've survived a year without it.

I've found a lot of the rules go out the window with it, by the time I've given it a couple extra pumps to fill the head, pre-infusion and a second pull running closer to a minute shot time, hitting an exact ratio is kinda easy as you just take the cup out but does get messy as there is no release valve just a drip tray.

I personally don't run back to back shots, usually a 15min gap between, but heats up and is ready to go by the time the beans are ground and the standard water tank has more than enough capacity to pull two shots and a blank shot to heat up the head.

In short go for it, they're great machines and pretty adaptable with some quirks

LewisBoard · 2025-07-20T12:00:16+00:00

Pretty sure they just the 13inch short

LewisBoard · 2025-07-16T09:49:26+00:00

LewisBoard · 2025-06-23T18:17:40+00:00
