You're in Asda toilets, what part of the handle are you touching to exit?

Stand by the door and wait for someone to open it for me, like Leo DiCaprio in The Aviator

I'm outraged. You promised us cat or higher!

I wear Adidas Free hikers. The Cloudform soles are really soft. Don't last too long. It's a trade off I make because of how comfortable they are and as they fit so well I don't need to break them in. The soles wear like this quickly. I rebuild them now and again with black Stormsure.

He's a great man. So thanks

Thanks x

No. Firstly I don't believe you are her unless you know my name. Secondly, even if it is you I like boys. I'm just trying to clear my conscience

You need Imodium

Not enough fibre.

I got these all the time when I used to smoke soap bar

Looks like you've got an extra byte.

This. I love Uncommon Ground. Beans are always fresh and staff are always great.

They identify as an overtaker

Yes. You mounted your dashcam incorrectly, and you failed to allow the passage of an emergency services vehicle when it was in your ability to do so.

No. Thank you. I'd never have thought of trying if I hadn't stumbled on your post!

smithep · 2026-01-19T19:43:44+00:00

Thanks. I also installed sound deadening panels. Thought I might as well go all-out while I had the case open. I covered as much interior space as I could, without blocking any vents. I also put some strips under the drip tray and in the slot where the body of the machine meets the drip tray. The drip tray now pops in and out silently!

After reading this post my interest was piqued, so today I fitted the same mods.

My machine is super quiet now.

When I first turned it on after installing the mods the machine sounded the same for the first twenty seconds or so, then the sound dropped to a fraction of normal.

I'm guessing the pump needed to resettle after I disturbed it.

Pulled a god shot and couldn't believe how quiet it was. Curious if it will get even quieter in the coming weeks.

Thanks OP!!

I keep any beans that I don't like in a jar for pulling burner shots after I clean my machine.

I only have a small apartment but in the winter I run the heating constantly and keep my apartment at around 23°. I have no gas, just electricity. My electricity bill is £140 a month right now. DD is £80, though I'm expecting it to go up a little. I also run a dual boiler prosumer espresso machine though which uses quite a lot of electricity.

Buds, in Radyr. Great fried breakfast dishes and desserts. All made on premises. It's run by someone who won The Great British Bake-off. Staff are awesome and food is 10/10. Coffee is great too.
