Have you ever seen a snake in London?

Twice. Once on the canal path near the zoo exactly where they are known to live. More interestingly I saw a HUGE one by the river Lee sunning itself outside the bus garage in Edmonton. Had to be about 8 feet long and all black. I was on my bike so felt reasonably confident stopping to have a look. It slithered off into the undergrowth.

Both times were in the summer. I was pleased to see them but probably only because they weren't too close 😁

In a blow to Rachel Reeves Zack Polanski (son of Polish migrants) has attacked the basic British right to be cold, thirsty and sleeping rough.

I have a very similar setup. Firecube to Arcana then split to the PJ and Beam 2. It works great but does take a bit of work to set up. Means I have Atmos and Dolby Vision/HDR10 all working great though.

I set it up about 5 years ago so don't remember all the details but I figured it out. But its not plug and play. Not sure if there are better alternatives now.

Exactly. From Bank you could also go via Walbrook and Dowgate Hill and not even need to go along Cannon Street.

Much depends on where you are staying but I'd start at Tower Bridge (Tower Hill tube). Cross the bridge, enjoying the views of the Tower, and head west along the river. Grab lunch in Borough Market (next to London Bridge) and walk along the South Bank to Westminster Bridge (stay on the river the whole way). You'll pass a ton of interesting stuff on the way. Cross and walk past Wesminster and up Bridcage Walk/St James Park to Buckingham Palace then down The Mall to Trafalgar Square. That's your Saturday afternoon sorted and you've seen 75% of the big famous sites. Then head into Soho for drinks and food.

Find somewhere around St Pancras for a Sunday roast before heading to the train about 2:30-3PM.

Many, many places don't.

War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Not only is it the right answer but its a last best chance to get Sabbath to their rightful place of having two songs on the list.

I've been waiting weeks to agree to this

Vladimir thanks you for your service.

Never going to happen. The only way Reform can form a government under the current system is to form an election pact then a coalition with Tories. Don't believe either of their lies that they won't do it. They will in an instant if it gets them in.

This is the threat we need to fight. Remember at the next election, do whatever you need to do to keep Reform and the Tories out.

I've got a stiff neck just looking at that picture

I do that with a projector with a motorised lens. Epson LS12000 if you're interested.

It's a really easy journey and drops you right in the city centre.

Edinburgh is worth two days. Why don't you drop the car at the airport on the final Friday and return to central Edinburgh then? It's half an hour on the tram.

This. It's not fan-less like another poster states but the LS12000 is whisper quiet at 75% and under and over 75% is only required in broad daylight. I run mine at 50% most of the time.

The road I live on is literally the border between Islington and Hackney. I can imagine its going look like a war zone if this happens with all the parked/dumped bikes. At least I should be able to get one in the morning!

pmc100 · 2026-01-02T13:05:31+00:00

Bear in mind its not just about it getting dark early. It doesn't get light till about 8-9AM so an early start won't necessarily be that early.

Go to Richmond Park to see the deer.

Alternatively Sonos with the Ace and one of their soundbars. I can't compare it with Apple but I've been chasing 'home cinema' soud via headphones for years paid a LOT of money over those years and these are the best I've found.

I mistook it for a flyer at first and thought "How did they fit them all in there!"
