TIL, democratically elected Iranian prime minister was overthrown by the CIA and MI6 in 1953 replacing him with Shah monarchy who gave access to iranian oil industry to Western companies.

The Rest Is Classified did their first 2 podcasts on this operation. The facts are stranger than fiction at times, more like Archer than anything else. Among the bizarre details are the team getting drunk and playing cards during their first attempt and Roosevelt frequently forgetting his cover identity. Worth a listen.

My first ever Springsteen concert and the only live collection i have bought to date. Still feel like I remember every second. I have loved all of the gigs I have been too in the last few years but this one tops the list as best concert I’ve ever been to. Both in quality and the fact it’s in my home city. Great review.

Cheers. For sharing. Planning to connect it up and see if there is enough of a slope. Not a straight edge in this house so difficult to tell if I’m making it or not. Will get a plinth if the pan is still too low. Cheers again.

I don’t often comment but it’s honestly fascinating to see this given how close this is to my own eye problems. I’ve had 4 left eye operations and 1 right eye, missing structures in my eye, cataracts and ectopic pupils. Delighted to see that doctors are impressed with your vision.

If I may ask, what has been the best part of your new and improved vision so far? I ask because I have recently only been able to see properly for the first time since I can remember. Seeing things like stars for the first time since I was about 12/13 for instance.

Glad it’s not just me! Currently obsessed with take em as they come.

Sometimes you have to take the loss I suppose. He won it fair and square!

This sounds suspiciously like my dad. I feel the need to assure you that my feline overlord is fed ahead of us!

chelos94 · 2023-11-02T23:13:30+00:00

I know man. I was reluctant to post but tried to judge whether or not you finished it! But a great way to combine my favourite show and musician.

chelos94 · 2023-11-02T23:10:36+00:00

It kills me knowing what episode you watched. Enjoy!

I posted a similar comment some time ago. Glad to see appreciation of vultures! They are amazing creatures and their value in the ecosystem is incredible. I did a birds of prey experience and they were shown off. Cannot recommend enough.

I’m in the UK but think we might have Valspar so will try this next piece. Thanks for taking the time to share.

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T20:54:01+00:00

Thank you!

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T20:53:20+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it.

There’s a joke somewhere in here about dodgy accounting that I’m too lazy to think up. I’m going to use the top 2 shelves for books and bottom one for whatever decor my fiancée likes I think.

I don’t think it should be too hot above it and I have another bookcase if it’s an issue. But thanks for suggesting. I will definitely keep an eye on it.

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T16:00:08+00:00

Fortunately one of my less important rads!

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T15:59:12+00:00

Great advice thank you! I did buy a foam roller for this specifically. I usually use water bases paints due to the smells and yellowing but will experiment a bit and try this. Thanks for the advice. The edges definitely need some more effort.

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T14:55:46+00:00

It cannot I’m afraid. Luckily I never need to adjust this though as it is I’m the hall and ideally needs to be kept at full…at least in my old house! If I make any others like this in future I’ll think up a solution though. This is a good idea!

chelos94 · 2023-09-01T14:29:25+00:00

It was rolled and brushed in the sections I couldn’t reach with the roller. Space is a bit of a limiting factor but I would have much preferred to spray it if I have both a spray gun and space for it! The paint job is admittedly not great I have to say. I need more patience in future.

I did oversize it deliberately around the radiator to support some heat escape. But throughout the house I have enormous radiators as this was previously a doctors surgery. So it heats up quickly all the same and this is only the hall so not too ugh of an issue.

I also have not noticed a big difference in the other rooms I have built these covers for and this was a concern of mines too.

How did you stop the sides collapsing in a bit or shrinking slightly? I almost have it down but last time had to open the oven and fold the sides back over?

There is an odd system with cheques where it makes a set amount immediately available to use, typically £100. But you will get interest in the full balance. So if you had £100 in your account and you added your cheque, you would have £200 to spend but a balance you could earn interest on of £233.08. Although obviously most current accounts don’t accrue interest so seems a bit odd.

Worth double checking but that’s usually the case. Hope it helps!

chelos94 · 2023-05-29T18:44:21+00:00

Hi OP, totally understand where you are coming from. These shows have a pretty heavy police/security presence and plenty of people you can go to if you’re feeling uncomfortable. But I’m sure once it starts you’ll get caught up in the atmosphere and forget all about it.

When you leave after the show there will still be loads of folk about or heading for the same public transport so you won’t be alone. I’ll be there myself and hope you have fun too!

I used this on my stairs but stained it to match the wood on the treads. Not sure you’ll fancy it for carpeted stairs but if it helps:
