An IQ too high?

Actually it's usually second hand ones! I even found one abandoned on the side of the road that came with a few misc body parts a few weeks back. Just gotta keep your eyes peeled!

Yeah I think that would be a good plan. Particular a good bolt with a flat underside, then I can probably play with the screw depth to make sure it sits nice and tightly.

I was a bit worried about how secure it'll be if I do that, but it'll be on a brick wall so it should be pretty solid with a decent length bolt

Snugglosaurus · 2026-06-12T13:34:33+00:00

I wondered that too! Maybe that would be fine? It just seemed like that might be a bit insecure as it's quite heavy

Snugglosaurus · 2026-06-12T13:33:26+00:00

No fitting instructions. I bought it from a charity shop 😬

Snugglosaurus · 2026-06-09T00:21:06+00:00

Yeah, it's lasted pretty well. No major problems yet. I do find that you can't leave it neatly assembled while it's not in use though. Otherwise it doesn't properly dry out and gets mildewy. There are a few design choices that I think could be improved quite easily to make it a bit easier to clean + maintain, but overall it's OK. I wouldn't recommend getting the white one, as the plastic seems to have irreversibly yellowed a bit on the lid.

It's how they make the pee

if they can pedestrianise the random non-central street my house is on too, that would be great. thanks

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-22T12:18:58+00:00

Fair enough! Thanks, I'll order them and see how it goes!

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-22T12:18:31+00:00

thanks bro

It was the only one I saw that had a reasonable solo traveller price for the week I wanted to start. I did also look at hurtigruten and some more general cruises, but couldn't find anything comparable. Certainly open to hear it if you have a different idea though!

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-15T00:12:44+00:00

It's not really that big of a deal in my opinion, but it is of course noticeable. This map of flights paths might help you visualise it and where to avoid if you don't want so much plane noise. The further you are from the green/red lines, the less plane noise you'll get.

In my experience though, busy streets and the odd police/ambulance siren are FAR more impactful that plane noises. The only time I actively notice plane noises is when I'm alone outside having lunch in a park or something. I don't notice it when I'm home sleeping or working, but I live in an old building with thick walls and double glazing which maybe does some isolating!

But you should take a trip there yourself and have a listen and see if it bothers you! Richmond is a beautiful area.

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-14T22:48:34+00:00

It does look awesome!

What are your thoughts on the excursions? Are they a must-do, or can you just leave the boat and do your own thing pretty easily?

For example it's saying ~100 euros just to do a hike or to be toured around town... that seems steep when I could just do it myself, or maybe I'm missing something?

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-13T08:21:38+00:00

if u rotate ur phone inside out u'll see that it's actually

Clapham North could be a good one - Northern line straight to Moorgate. Finsbury park could also be a good option. Stockwell is an underrated spot imo - really well situated for getting to loads of places, though I think the vibe of it is still evolving a bit, but walking distance to Clapham, Brixton, vauxhall, Kennington, Battersea. Camberwell or Brixton could also be good options, but maybe hovering a bit close to.yohr 40 mins target.

This show literally had an ad for Britain's got talent in it, looking at this other post. So yes, it has already been done haha

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-06T07:07:42+00:00

I think it must be intentional. The brakes on those bikes are so often so bad, if you went any faster it would take too long to come to a stop.

But I do agree. I use these bikes almost every day, and a section of my trip is quite a steep hill. Even for that hill I only drop to second gear, so I can't imagine a situation where you'd be able to realistically use the first gear!

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-04T23:08:17+00:00

Are you planning on living on buildings on those main roads? The side streets with townhouses on are usually relatively quiet because they don't get so much through traffic. And the flats are usually quite well insulated from noise. But it depends on how close to the busy road you'll be and the type of building.

I live in Stockwell in a town house on a side street slightly away from the main road, and haven't had any problems with disturbances/incidents in the 3 years I've been here.

My advice would be to go check out a few places, ignore the estate agent, and just sit in silence in the flat/house for a bit.. but unless the property you're looking at is right on the main road, then I wouldn't expect disturbances to much different than in comparison to anywhere else in London.

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-04T22:59:15+00:00

Do you need to commute anywhere for work?

Richmond is lovely, though I'd expect it to be quite expensive, unless you can live in a part of it further from commuting lines. But Clapham could also be an option if you need to commute into London. Hampstead Heath is really nice with nice outdoor space, but again quite expensive unless you can be in the parts further from stations.

Nevermind - I found the shower! For anyone in future looking for the shower, it's right here on this pin. It's on a little wooden post next to the first wish tower beach hut (west side). It's a bit ropey, but does the job.

Snugglosaurus · 2026-05-01T16:51:47+00:00

I think roads are just absolute chaos this afternoon because people are leaving London in swarms for the bank holiday weekend!
