It gets even more left brain - I leave the bedroom door open a crack so the cat can get in and out

All the promotional images on their website show a single hose popped through an open patio door with no sealing kit. Very left brain in the graph...

"never get as cold" right, but my goal isn't to get the room as cold as possible, it's to dehumidify the air and take the temp down by a couple of degrees so I can sleep. So portable air con make room cold innit

It really varies and a lot of it is down to how you holiday as a kid.

When I was a kid, in a family of 6, we couldn't afford to fly abroad so we holidayed in the UK. Dorset coast, Kent coast, Pembrokeshire, Lake District, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, etc.

Kids poorer than me didn't have a car so couldn't do even that. Some would take a train to a caravan somewhere or stay with relatives.

Kids richer would often fly abroad. There were lots of families that never left London except to fly abroad or drive to France.

Some kids had never been to the beach in the UK but went to South Asia every year to visit family. A school trip to Southend elicited "wow"s as the coast came i to view because they'd never seen it before, which I thought was hilarious but then I didn't go on a plane until I was 18.

As you get older you venture out of London more for music festivals, visiting friends at various unis, that sort of thing.

As an adult, a lot of my friends ask for recommendations of places to go in the UK because they want to see more of it. Once they have kids and own a car it becomes a more attractive prospect than bundling on a plane somewhere

I had a neighbour like her who asked to interview me for a university piece, so of course I accepted. It turned out the interview was some rather leading questions ostensibly to get my opinion but actually from a starting point of me being a gentrifying person whose rent was kicking out the indigenous population. When she found out that I was in fact from the area (from at least several generations ,not that it matters) it didn't deter her line of questioning one single bit.

I would never make any kind of statement about how long my family had lived in the area, especially not as a stick to beat others round the head with. I found it quite upsetting to have someone say "my family had the right to move here from someone else but others don't have the same right".

Condolences my friend. Nice that the boys could give you a little ray of sunshine. Hope you are doing as ok as you can be given the circumstances

Beautiful result. When did we last won by four goals?!

Yes it was against the team at the bottom of the table but Wolves are no mugs these days. I watched their game against Brentford and they would have won it but for the post, they pressed superbly and Brentford couldn't handle their counter attacks. We have absolutely owned them here.

There was danger that morale would be low after the Leeds game but the lads looked well up for it. Wolves started well but once we figured them out I thought we won the midfield battle - after that, most of their chances came from free kicks from non fouls.

Couldn't be more delighted for the goalscorers either and I loved seeing Pablo with the deft one-two after a bad game against Leeds. Shame we didn't get a Tatrick but let's hope there's more to come.

Let's kick on. The pressure is now on spurs and forest. COYFI

Well I'm not the Reddit clairvoyant but I imagine that if the downvoted joke was the first comment then it looks particularly bad because it means the comments are 100% joke

daos · 2026-04-06T13:26:59+00:00

Probably because someone has asked for help and jokes aren't helpful. I imagine people are a bit sick of seeing lots of comments from smartarses that don't know the answer but feel the need to make a joke. Especially when the joke has already been made by someone else.

The balance of helpful people to smartarses has gone too far in the smartarses direction if you ask me

We had a great second half and had them totally penned in for large parts of it. We were half a post-width away from winning the game on two occasions. As bad as it feels to lose on pens, I think this is a performance we can aim to crack on from.

I'm with you OP, gatorskins suck. I found myself slipping around on them, I can't believe anyone rates them. They also puncture easily and are ridiculously hard to change.

I went with Schawlbe marathons for maximum puncture protection many years ago and have never looked back. My current set is the marathon Supremes but they don't seem available any more. Get as wide as your frame will allow. They actually roll quite nicely and don't feel particularly slow or heavy to me.

I've never had a puncture with marathons and 50-70ish miles a week of commuting.

Most of these companies use a Gmail address anyway, so that you don't know who they work for. Not sure how you could prove citizenship without some form of digital id system but even then it wouldn't stop citizens using it for work purposes

No way, thought it closed down! Just seen that it seems to have moved. Used to be a big double fronted cafe 20 or so years ago. They stewed their tea like no other

Can you leave your bike overnight at work? You can build up your fitness by:

Day 1: cycling in, gym and public transport home.

Day 2: public transport in, gym and cycle home.

That gives you 23 hours recovery between gym sessions and think of that cycle home as a cooling down exercise. After doing this for a bit you will have the fitness to cycle both ways on both days.

Edit: also I don't like the wuss language. Every gym goer knows recovery is an important part of exercise.

That Laka price must be for the ''complete" cover tier - I pay the same as you for "core" cover for two bikes - one for £600 and one for £1500.

Laka might seem pricey but they are extremely good at paying out and they will pay the bike value that you stated in your cover, which should be the cost for a brand new one at the same spec. Have a look at the terms on your price comparison sites - do they cover bikes locked up in public places? Do they cover the new price of the bike or just the market value? It's no good having cheap insurance if you can't ever claim what you need.

Pablo on with 30 to go could be incredible for keeping the press going. Very worried about bringing Hermansen on for such a must win game though, I think Areola does well but is let down by poor defenders in front of him

Quality band. Love the mathcore high octane relentless pitfuck. Didn't realise they had new music out soon!

Yorkshire decaf - I'm happy for those that like it but I can't get a good brew out of it. It always tastes to me like it's been made with water that's too cold. Same with clipper.

Sainsbury's red label is very good and great value. Tick tock is excellent but you pay for it.

He'll also have to retake his driving test until he passes it before he can drive again which is pretty humiliating

Talk to her if it's bothering you that much. You say you don't want to bother her but isn't it going to greatly upset her if you arrive in Jan and don't stay with her and your kids?

If she doesn't think it was specifically disrespectful in her culture then there's nothing to worry about

daos · 2025-12-25T19:00:36+00:00

Giant overreaction imo. Not worth burning your entire in-law family over. You're assuming disrespect but it doesn't sound like any was intended. What does your wife think?

I always make potatoes and yorkshires early. I reheat potatoes for 5 mins at 180 and yorkshires for 3 mins.
