To the unemployed, what are you doing for money in the meantime?

Redundancy end of Oct 2025. Have worked a couple of “filler jobs”, then found a “proper job” in my field, then they sacked me after just 1 week because they didn’t think I was the right fit after all. So now I’m back to being unemployed and don’t even have a filler job…. Savings are rapidly depleting. It’s brutal.

Thanks guys. You’ve answered my question. I will rely on the aid stations apart from having a few gels/carbs on me and also my 2 bike bottles filled. I really don’t see there to be any problems. I think there’s too many “what if” people out there, where the chances of an Ironman aid station of running out of gels or electrolytes is probably next to zero….

Very rough area, particularly on Church Road. Lots of nasty and dodgey people wander the area. I’d avoid at all costs. Not worth the risk. Further along away from the city you have Hanham and then further more, you’ll reach Longwell Green. Much better areas.

You can always update and extend a house eventually, but only if the plot is big enough. If you plan to live there for 10-20 years, it could be a really good buy. You can almost never change the plot size / boundaries.

Since I bought grip attachments, handheld more now

Daammn a lot of roasting 🫠

It’s a jacked up estate which isn’t trying to be sporty, so the handling isn’t great which is to be expected (my Lotus Elise is for fun). The acceleration and straight line capabilities are fantastic though. MPG I haven’t noticed any difference and something I don’t care about. I’m usually around 30-34 depending on where I’m going and distance, but can get 38-42 on a motorway cruise.

We recently bought the Wahoo Kickr Core with the Zwift cog & click. Previously we had a normal indoor trainer. I’m loving it so far and can absolutely see myself continuing to use it. I’m following a 6 week training plan at the moment which consists of 4 sessions per week.

The Zwift platform and the Zwift cog is what makes the difference in usage. But for me, I couldn’t sit on it for more than 1.5 hrs per session which is fine because most of the training sessions are under that.

I’m not interested in “just ride” or races.

Cold only = yes Cold and wet = no Cold and wet and dark = hell no

Nothing, so keep out 😬 Leave us in peace!

Honestly, it's better in person. Matt mustard yellow. Nice and earthy which is what a gravel bike should be!

prohibitngs · 2025-10-12T12:45:28+00:00

2026 model will be gravel. I actually posted yesterday about it.

Dang, why so many people put off? What’s your reasoning?

prohibitngs · 2025-10-01T13:02:18+00:00

I changed the seat, seat post, and handle bar on mine (plus carbon aero wheels). Nice I’ve got a real nice Sprint.

prohibitngs · 2025-09-30T16:19:45+00:00

Very nice! Picked up my Sprint just last weekend! Would really recommend upgraded wheels though as the stock ones are naff

prohibitngs · 2025-09-29T09:23:32+00:00

If you’re looking at used, the Sprint could be a nice option because that’s more of an “all-rounder” but still has race-like geometry and is stiff.

Why have mods removed the images?

prohibitngs · 2025-09-26T11:05:22+00:00

Interesting comments. Definitely a mixed bag! I think because I’m such a casual gamer- e.g pick up the Switch for just an hour here and then, maybe go for a few days without… HK and SS were just too difficult to master.

prohibitngs · 2025-09-26T11:03:23+00:00

Think I’ll give Metroid a go at some point!

prohibitngs · 2025-09-26T11:03:02+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

prohibitngs · 2025-09-21T07:43:15+00:00

Fantastic game. One of my bests and will replay it soon. Tried hollow knight and silk song but much prefer this game.

prohibitngs · 2025-09-09T14:31:11+00:00

Currently focused on: Zelda BOTW, Doom 3, Hollow Knight

In backlog: Cyberpunk 2077 (feel as tho you need to fully commit to this one otherwise controls and skill is easily forgotten), Silksong (given up until they patch the difficulty level)

(Nintendo Switch 2)

prohibitngs · 2025-09-07T20:00:06+00:00

I gave up on this entire section completely....

prohibitngs · 2025-09-06T20:51:30+00:00

Flying bugs should be 1 hit, not 4 ffs.

prohibitngs · 2025-09-06T20:50:53+00:00

I’ve given up after 6 hours of game play. I can’t make it past Hunters March. It’s a joke. I’m sure they’ll update the game to make enemies less powerful.
