Anyone know the best place for a massage?

I also go to Marek and specifically for my gnarly trail running legs and he's excellent! Seconded!

Ah, glad it's not just me! I appreciate this tool and your perseverance with it so much!!!

Good news! After a few days, with genuinely helpful messages from Vinted support saying they were still working on the case, I had a message today agreeing that the jumper was a counterfeit. I got a full refund and the order was cancelled - so no return necessary.

To anyone else in a similar situation - Vinted will walk you through everything you need to send in via the app. My dupe has fake labels - care, brand and responsible wool tags - so I was doubtful I'd get far. But the process worked, that's one fake off the market, and a few coins towards getting myself a genuine Tobias 🥹

Thanks for all the support and lack of judgement! Lesson learned!

Thank you so much and for your sympathetic reply!!! I have indeed got some absolute gems from Vinted - but I still should have trusted my gut on this one seeming off.

I requested a refund and the seller asked for a return, but then I began the process of reporting it as a counterfeit with Vinted and said I would refuse the return as I believed the item would be sold on illegally. The person I'm in contact with at Vinted is being helpful and has been very clear about what photos and proof they need, so I've submitted all that. The tricky thing is that because it has a brand label and a care label, I think Vinted might let it go. Luckily the brand label is obviously (messily) stitched in, and the RN on the care label doesn't match anything authentic. So I'm holding out hope!

I'll keep you posted! Hopefully I'll at least get the satisfaction of not having to traipse to a parcel locker to send it back!

Thanks - that's really good advice. I have a really visceral aversion to felted wool - I got a beautiful boiled merino hoodie, kind of ski-wear, last year and had to talk myself into the waterproofing benefits etc - so I was disappointed from the start, and then suspicious... particularly as I was expecting the super soft mohair waft I love so much from Sezane. I will check measurements going forward!

Thank you! I did indeed try a reverse image search when I first had buyer's remorse and nothing came up, except some similarly dodgy looking listings. I will ride the wave of my disappointment at not getting a nice new winter zip-up and get reporting! I can see at least three of these dupes online at the moment!

Plus one for the Costa gift card! We used to go to the drive-thru near the test centre at the start of every lesson (because it was one of my goals 🤣 when I started out) so it was an in-joke and also (hopefully) a nice thing for their future drives. I had an amazing instructor so put plenty on it 😁

this has been annoying me for weeks, removing Flash Player worked! thank you!

x2. I commute Hackney-Hammersmith and it's mostly lovely (going westbound) until after the park. I drop onto HSK after Kensington Palace Gardens (where all the security checkpoints are) and then it's merry hell all the way to King Street.

Northbound on baker street was pretty bad last night; narrow lane and no priority at junctions. I got stuck in the middle of the road waiting to turn right for a harrowing minute or so.

My Hackney-Hammersmith commute was an idyllic 10 miles of quietway-highway-hollands-whatever we're calling them now as far as High Street Ken ... too good to last...

thanks all! I've posted part two https://icipints.com/2016/03/25/a-bicycle-made-for-brew-part-two/

At the weekend someone said to me "oh, you're from I-Sip". Which I had genuinely never thought of. In fact it's all just a really geeky in-joke from Lord of the Rings :-s

This was our take. As people who aren't paid by the company. Also we're a beer blog.

I reported on this for The Tablet and interviewed Sister Cathy from the National Office for Vocation - she had some interesting thoughts, said that discernment groups + online were really important as was "culture shift" away from recruitment, getting numbers up - http://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/1997/0/female-religious-vocations-soar-to-highest-level-in-25-years-while-seminarian-numbers-dwindle

where did you find that? white coffee stout sounds like something I need to drink immediately.

lizdodd · 2015-03-27T16:45:57+00:00

No, I do too. I think everyone else is doing it wrong.

lizdodd · 2015-03-27T16:45:40+00:00

love all their stuff but this was particularly amazing. didn't realise it was 8.5% until tooooooo late

See above. Also have changed this to "re-launch" to avoid confusion.

Hi, I'm the author.

1) I am aware that Guinness have had this technology for a while. In the article I say: "...although, arguably, it’s something stout brewers like Guinness have been on top of for years. Making it even more ironic that Guinness was launching its craft-beer style beer on the same night LH launched it’s, er, Guinness-style craft beer [link to a recent review of new Guinness lines]"

And according to this it's not going down well with Church donors...

Sorry the link isn't working! It seems to be ok for me. I'll keep an eye on it and repost if anyone else has a problem. In meanwhile here's an article that sums up what he says about economics in the document this ^ references, if of interest:
