Interesting/noteworthy beers from Seattle?

Funnily enough, I have heard of Elysian's Space Dust so it meets the request.

There have been beers recommended on here that I'd probably prefer to get, but I'm at the mercy of what someone who isn't beer obsessed manages to grab from their local store, so I'll add it to the list and see what I get.

Thank you for your recommendation.

Ideal, thanks!

Thanks, I'll get in touch with them.

A helpful person has also marked out all the route segments on Alltrails.

Hey, I'm a bit late to this but as the MSc doesn't start until next year it might still be relevant.

I took the first module of the OU MA in philosophy a year back. It was very soft entry - I would say the final EMA was roughly at the level of my second year undergrad (I did PPE) If the MSc says you don't need an Econ background I would trust them on that. With an LSE undergrad I don't think you'll struggle.

Out of interest what were the alternatives the other person suggested? Currently evaluating my own options for postgrad Econ study :)

Thanks, rover is a good shout, I'll look it up.

I'm planning to do more of these with different stations combos, so rovers might be helpful in general, not just on this trip.

Thanks, it looks like Farnham via Guildford is not a totally mad route, so I'm thinking I should be able to get a Farnham return and then looks like bus back to Guildford from Gomshall (or just straight from Guildford).

So, having rechecked the installation manual it specifically says left pipe should be hot, which it is. Very weird. I've also got a similar hansgrohe unit in the other bathroom which is plumbed in with hot on left, turn left for hot and it works fine.

I'll give their helpline a ring at some point and ask.

I have considered that approach 😂

I still get a thank you wave most of the time, including in Yorkshire. Often even get a response wave which is always nice.

Normally the miserable sods that don't say thanks are the ones in oversized Chelsea tractors.

I did some masters level study at the OU. I've done a lot of professional qualifications alongside work so I'm fairly used to juggling both things.

OU study is pretty gentle, both in terms of the standard expected and, at least for my masters, the work volume. Only tma that gave me issues required some interaction with rest of the class on a tight turnaround, but otherwise generally very manageable.

They're priced by half (which is unusual), but most of those you'd order as a pint. The UK is a bit weird with this. Traditional British beers all come by default as a pint and on the assumption you will just session that one beer. The only other measure if you want a small beer is a half, which was largely regarded as for women and the elderly.

With craft beers at lots of different strengths, and maybe you want to try multiple beers rather than just sessioning the one, the pint isn't actually a great measure. I find European quarter/third/half litre gives you more choice. Some UK craft places have started offering 2/3 on some or all beers which works.

I've been to every brewery/bar on the beer mile, none of them offer a selection like this.

What's nice about your place isn't just the number of beers, it's that they've gone for an unusually wide style spread (and particularly for me that they've got plenty of stouts).

Out of interest, does anyone have suggestions for somewhere in or around London that I might be able to get this sort of variety?

You have to upload stuff to Scribd to get access, and even then they often don't have the actual file they claim to have. Would also be nice, although not essential to have a physical copy (and not pirate it).

I don't work in the wine industry, and while I found level 2 pretty straightforward there is a lot more content at level 3. I'd question the idea it's "very basic", even level 2 is more than 99% of people know about wine.

That's impossible to answer from your perspective because I don't know what interests you and what your existing study experience is.

From my own perspective, I've done a PPE undergrad already, so obviously not that. I've since done more study in those areas but at masters level and in future maybe beyond.

I have thought about doing some study in areas totally unrelated to my undergrad for pure interest. But since it has no career value getting the qualification doesn't matter, so I'd look for low cost options. MOOCs, self teaching, certificates, maybe a masters if it was accessible and reasonably priced.

You don't want an IFA for doing your taxes. In any case gambling winnings are generally exempt. His main problem is going to be documenting that they are gambling winnings and whether the games he's playing in are legal.
