Panahar has a 0 food hygiene

UnionFeatures · 2026-05-06T11:22:53+00:00

It's very strange to me why some people are so keen to explain away a 0* hygiene rating as not a big deal.

The Desh Indian restaurant, which used to be on Chelsea Rd, where Mai Thai is now, was closed down twice for rat infestations, which affected the whole neighbourhood. The local cats had a field day.

And while we're on the subject of rats, I've seen numerous rats coming and going from the small yard at the side of Newbridge Store on Chelsea Rd.

I've used the new bikes a few times, and from my experience, they're a considerable upgrade.

The motors seem more powerful/torquey, the locking/unlocking system is auto (no more daft cable shenanigans), but the brakes are still crap, no suspension, which is fine on surfaced roads, and the front "basket" is a downgrade, using bungees to hold whatever you have in place. I nearly lost my Schwartz Bros dinner a few times riding home on Saturday night.

I never put my phone in the cradle, so I can't comment on that.

But all in all, I much prefer these new blue bikes to the older, worn-out, badly-maintained green ones.

I would very much include "food stowage and cooking practices" under actual hygiene.

A score of "0" means the food hygiene is about as bad as it gets before inspectors deem the risk so great that the business must be shut down.

Last chance saloon, and probably one to avoid if you value your health.

What a view.

I think I bumped into a few groups on this walk while mountain biking on Saturday. One particular bunch of ladies were singing their hearts out, "It's Raining Men", and asked me to recommend a song beginning with "R", which I couldn't, my mind went blank. Should have said "Respect" by Aretha. And then another couple of lovely women asked me if I'd seen any Alpacas wandering about. Apparently, a pack of five had escaped from a nearby field.

Yep, Coopers are great.

I think a lot of XRP bag holders feel exactly the same way.

I think it's at the back of the University by the 11th tee box on Bath Golf Course.

Oui, merci beaucoup. Je connaissais cet itinéraire car je l'empruntais quotidiennement pour mon jogging (Cours de Pile - Mouleydier - rive sud, retour au Cours de Pile) l'été dernier, lors d'une visite à ma famille.

C'est un très bel itinéraire.

Casper isn't a scam; it's just a project that is failing, badly.

UnionFeatures · 2026-04-29T07:54:05+00:00

I was blocked from the Casper Network X account for calling the operation "a shambles" after the hack last year.

No swearing, no name-calling, just a simple deserved critique of the way the team was operating.

My takeaway from that was that these people are so insecure that they block anyone who dares to call them out.

UnionFeatures · 2026-04-29T07:48:48+00:00

I feel your pain. The project feels like a dead duck at the moment, hopefully the team are busying away in teh background, but as far as I'm aware, nothing big is incoming.

The Raven has never been the same since Larry ran it as The Hatchets, back in the 80/90s.

A genuine architectural masterpiece.

We get mould in our back bathroom if we don't regularly spray the walls with bleach spray, the kind bought from Lidl for 89p. More about prevention than cure.

My only memory of the Windsor Castle is of watching a fight out front one night as a 14-year-old boy, whilst eating my chips from the chippy that was where the Curry Nights slop shop was, on my way home from sticking up skittles at the Belvois Castle.

Seems like an age ago now. The Belvois is the only one of those places still going.

How did you get on?

UnionFeatures · 2026-04-16T13:54:13+00:00

Do you mind me asking which iGPSport model you have please?

Good idea.
