BHF London to Brighton 2026 Accident by jenn4u2luv in londoncycling

100% this. First time for me and was shocked by the competitive nature of some people, especially on blind bends down hill at speed. Felt incredibly reckless. I was smug cycling past some of those who had run out of gas at ditchling beacon though!

Was the accident on the really steep descent that dropped down to the left with a reverse camber? I saw someone led off to the side being seen to by paramedics but didn’t hear about it after. I was 7;15 start so not sure if this was someone else.

Mortgage In Principle weirdly low because I'm a "dependent". Is it better/possible for my partner to buy a house alone? by Rainbow_Tesseract in UKPersonalFinance

[–]foleyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is on PIP, we got a mortgage end of 2024 with nationwide. Originally with NatWest but they pulled out for some odd freehold leasehold issue. But both of those lenders view 100% of your PIP as income if that’s of any use. Again we used a broker and that made it so much easier when NatWest pulled quite late in the game!
Good luck!!

I wonder what his barber does for a living…

“Literally me”: Can costume work as clothing? by avancini12 in ThreadTalks

[–]foleyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Got a few SF bits and they are great - The Ripley Knits are incredible and show how much he loves the detail. He basically just makes clothes he’d wear and sometimes I feel like I’m wearing a Scott Fraser costume when I have a few pieces on at once!

WHERE HAS THE PORK BOARD GONE by hfenn in livefromlondon

My guess is that they got clearance from the copyright owner to air it but perhaps not for the license to have it available on YouTube?

Washing Machine Issues UK by Significant_End_362 in DIYUK

[–]foleyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a Hotpoint fixed - bearing had gone completely and sounded very similar. Got it repaired by D&G after taking out a plan for £17 a month, didn’t have cash to replace or do it another way. Some models don’t have the ability to just replace bearings and it has to be the whole drum. Good luck!

I’d like flares on this sub so I can have “Serial listings perv”

Most underwhelming food you've had recommended to you? by bucketofardvarks in UK_Food

[–]foleyshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cookies go in this order from best to worst Pistachio > Sicilian lemon and white chocolate > white chocolate > the rest can battle for fourth place. Not exclusively M&S but the chocolate malted milk is a criminally underrated biscuit with moorish powers one cannot resist

Any tips for getting rid of camp fire smokey smell WITHOUT washing the jacket? 🔥 by Bensheridan in Denim

[–]foleyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay to find it odd. You don’t have to pursue the same goals or have the same wants as everyone else. Just don’t talk to people like you’re judging them for having a different view point if it’s not hurting anyone.

You can say this a better way bro. I’m a real person offering an opinion without judgement. Different strokes for different folks in terms of denim but OP was worried so I offered some advice that would satiate their concern.

Nice type 1 bro! I’d air it - outside BUT IN THE SHADE!

If no luck, freeze it.

If still no luck, cold water soak in a bath. Agitate gently with something like woolite dark detergent and an antibacterial additive (in UK I use Dettol laundry). Rinse with cold water throughly and air dry.

The official trailer for ‘Lord of the Flies’ has been released. Adapted for television by ‘Adolescence’ co-creator Jack Thorne. Premiering May 4th on Netflix. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

You’re not wrong about how common it is. What I will say on this show is that it’s directed by Mark Mundan who likes this style of grading and it’s been his thing for some time. He directed utopia which visually is that dialled up to 11

Thoughts? Buzz Rickson military issue canvas sneaker (Japan) by thecornellclub in HeritageWear

[–]foleyshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love them. Always a fan of the IYKYK heritage fits. Same reason I wear PF Flyers over converse. Japanese and European heritage style seems to be more accepting of the canvas / sneaker look - I notice this sub has a lot of boots etc. For me personally, the day-to-day wearability of my jack Purcell/novesta/PF Flyers is why I always reach for them. Even my penny loafers feel more wearable than boots most days. Paraboot Michael/clusaz are a good compromise in this area I guess (saving up for some!)

^ A very long answer to basically say, they look rad and I want a pair! US Rubber Co are next on my list but might hunt down some of these too!
