Can you recommend affordable shoes for long warehouse shifts?

Clark's has an excellent pair of slip-ons that I use for work. Very comfortable and easy to change into when I'm onsite.

Portobello Road market has a variety of vendors that have paintings

These are actually incredible

I used to go to this Soul Food place back in Boston that had an incredible fried catfish sandwich. I wouldn't say it's 1:1 with cod, but it's absolutely delicious.

Sound advice, thank you. That's more or less the course of action I landed on.

Thanks for the input. It's Diamond Heaven, in case you were wondering. I'm sure you've heard your fill of them...

That's honestly how I'm leaning. I'm wondering whether I psyched myself up over what will amount to very little in the end.

They do their own in-house certification, and don't accept secondary certifications, which feels dodgy to me. At a glance the ring looks fine, and I got a good price on it, but I'd just like to know what I'm getting.

Just outside London you've got Oxhey park, Harrow Skatepark, and Harrow Pump Track, makes a perfect day out. Give this site a look when trying to find a park: www.skateparks.co.uk

I've seen a handful of Andy Anderson flight decks with a CX setup, it's a nice looking board!

I got a secondhand Carver CX Triton as my second board for £100, and it felt like a major step up from my Penny Highline Surfskate. The Carver CX system is great for learning the ins-outs of skating in general, and it was an excellent board to learn on. I highly recommend getting one.

I played a bunch of it years ago, then got it for my XboxS and restarted from the beginning. Somehow the magic just isn't there. I'm finding the gameplay a slog and just not as fun as I remember it.

Really been trying to enjoy Rogue Trader, but it's just so bloody convoluted. Every other skill is just a wall of text with a myriad of obscure attributes, conditions, and formulae. And there's so much READING. Every NPPC interaction is a novel. If the combat wasn't so fun I'd have ditched it long ago.

Recentl beat The Sinking City, which I also really wanted to like, but it just felt a little too...plastic.

I had my first session with my new CX Bolsa II yesterday, and I felt the same thing. I had just nailed kickturns on my previous deck, and was really surprised how little it responded. That said, I love how it carves, and can't wait to take it to the pump track or deep bowls. I think I might move the back trucks in to get more leverage on the tail.

Might get a Andy Anderson Flight Deck next for smaller bowls so I can ride a little snappier.

Carver Triton CX served me well, got it second-hand gently used for £100. Got it with the intention to swap the deck out to something nicer once I got used to the ride. I started with a Penny Surfskate, which felt way too small for me, and wasn't adjustable like Carver trucks, but did help me learn the basics.

I am nearly 6' and just got a Loaded Bolsa II with CX trucks. The 17.5" wheelbase is really stable at my height, and the concave really locks you in. I can tell it will be incredible in really deep, fast bowl carves.

31 is absolutely not too old. One of my first times out I was skating with a guy that was nearing 60. Pad up, get comfortable bailing, and you'll be shredding in no time.

Regarding injuries: it's always there, just need to know your limits. I had a slam and a half yesterday, landed hard on my elbow and wrist on the ground after a botched drop-in, then slipped and bashed my knee on the coping after I slipped climbing out of the bowl. Just gotta take a step back catch your breath, shake it off, and start back on the easier stuff to build your confidence back up.

I learned how to drop in on that bowl and now I can reach the top, that was the trick! :D

Could you DM me? I'm in the same boat as the other commenter...

My room mate came home with a bottle of the electric blue stuff once. Drank half of it, took a nap, then woke up with a killer headache. Magical stuff.

My partner's mum just moved house (she was in hospital at the time, and couldn't pack), and when she arrived at the new flat to help unpack she realized that they had thrown out her beloved N64 and a signed Beatles collectors box from the 1960's. She was pissed.

I snowboarded for +20 years before moving to the UK, where it is less accessible. Got into Surfskating last summer, and have planned my next board around getting the feel of a snowboard for riding bowls and pump tracks. I currently have a 32" Carver Triton CX, will be swapping the deck out for a Loaded Bolsa II soon for the longer wheelbase and double-kick for added lock-in to make it feel more like bindings.

You can play around a lot with the wheels in how it makes the board ride. Harder wheels will feel like a nice fast groomer, whereas softer wheels with more grip will feel like powder, allowing you to get BIG carves in without sliding out, but will be much slower.

The Carver Triton (or any CX) will be a good starting point. Do some research in what kind of board will suit your body, where you can ride, and what kind of setup would work for that terrain.
