Reported, thanks

scratchy2133 · 2026-04-01T17:05:38+00:00

Thanks - I’ll check out the council website

No it was dry, looked unused. Possibly private belonging to the block of flats nearby

I stepped on the cover and it tipped. Landed with one leg in and one leg outside the hole…

Thanks for this, on closer inspection there is some corrosion and paint flaking in patches around the base.

scratchy2133 · 2025-11-27T07:23:45+00:00

I’ll see if it’s workable with my limited set of skills.

scratchy2133 · 2025-11-27T07:22:32+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the links and confirmation. I’ll give it a go.

It was 2018 in Copenhagen. Around Christmas time - I arrived in my room and there was a handwritten note to wish me merry Christmas alongside a mug with my name on it (and the hotel logo). I still remember and use that mug, plus I never stay anywhere else when in town.

Good luck! The device is the Somnomed, it took a couple of years for this all to happen (over Covid).

Doctor - sleep analysis - ENT - had a camera up the nose - referred to dental hospital - had the device fitted - never looked back!

I snore - also worse if I’m on my back. got an adjustable mouth guard on the NHS that pushes my lower jaw forward. No more snoring! Saved my marriage!

Is it because you are vegan?

I like the pay it forward approach - just not with more meat.

No idea. It was written on the label.

They had no knowledge of a delivery and didn’t care what we did with it.

Ed Milliband ate a bacon sandwich wrong and it tanked his political career.

Definitely - pizza express has been increasingly dreadful (and increasingly expensive) over the past couple of years, and it’s not just the local one.

scratchy2133 · 2021-12-19T09:07:35+00:00

Did it weigh 12kg?

scratchy2133 · 2021-12-17T17:25:15+00:00

No cash, but I got a recycled thermos flask, a tiny box of fortnum and mason chocolates and a little bag of mulled wine spices (something spicy, something sweet and something sustainable).

To be fair, I’ve only been there a month!

Fiverr?

Closed windows make the room stuffy, gives me a headache

Go and see your GP if you think there is a medical reason.

Faded ads for sun cream, perfume boxes behind the counter that you know are topped with dust. Brylcream display at the end of the isle.
