is that a river stocky? what did it take?
Fair play re used reel. This looks decent. Anything 4000-6000 would work I think

Builth Wells on fish passport. High, coloured water. No salmon. One wee brown trout

after a second hand spinning reel. Trying to sort my dad a salmon spinning setup for his bday. Picked up a 9ft 15-40g rod, ideally (I think) I want a 4000/5000 size shimano baitrunner. Has anyone got anything for sale? Cheers

Thank you and thank you @doubleodavey that's super helpful

Is there any hive intel on where is good to go to watch someone for the London marathon? Like are some places better than others / is it a good idea to cycle around? Cheers

Beeswax after that or a clear varnish? Think I will give it a go

I found a johannes andersen for uldum møbelfabrik chair on Facebook marketplace for a tenner.
May refinish it (new process to me), might not bother. Missing a bolt, which should be fine to replace, but also missing the bolt cover which is made of the same wood

Anyone had a worktop join crack after not that long? The (very good) company who fitted it suggest the base units may have moved slightly and to speak to builder, then they can repair it (for £100!).
Builder was a cowboy and will never build allowed back. Shall I try and screw the two base units together?
Might not pay the £100 and just rake it out and add some silicone..

Here was me thinking it was the patek all day! To be fair, you would have to have some confidence to wear a patek regularly

Here is the times picture and can kind of see it here

I think @inchpincher has nailed it. It's super nice whatever it is. Cheers

Edit - it has 3 pushers so possibly a slightly more advanced complication?

Thank you

Can anyone ID this watch from this pic please? Best picture I can find.

peaked about 22 and unbroken sunshine throughout on race day

cheers! do it :)

Did Seville (and my first) marathon on Sunday in 4 hours 2 minutes chip time. Not the smoothest - didn't warm up properly (banked on some waiting time in the paddock) and my knock off camelpack tube mouth piece came off at 39k, and I swallowed it. Weighed up finishing with it in my gullet but opted to induce it back up on the spot. However, thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend that one to anyone. Great city too - was there for the best part of a week

They wouldn't budge at all so I have ended up accepting it. They said I could appeal the process but that was it. Kind of annoying but luckily the number was fine. If it wasn't I dunno where I'd be.

Cheers. Found a comp which is a bit more

Has anyone successfully negotiated up the price offered for a written off car by their insurer? Someone wrote my car off last week whilst it was parked on my road. Been offered £1400. That is probs fine really but I'm gonna be spending at least 2 replacing it

They said it's a regulated process / won't change / but I can appeal the process

Cheers and @pifko
Informal freeholder situation

Lease is with the management company which each of the flats own 1/5 of. Cheers that's really useful

I know there's a few people with leasehold experiences around.... 10:30 pm sorting out another leak from flat above me...
The lease for the 5 flats in my block says you can't rent the flat out. The guy above is a serial landlord, and takes less care than I imagine a private owner would (not guaranteed). Is there a mechanism to enforce he doesn't rent it out? I'd rather someone not rented live there, who would actually take this stuff more seriously.
Old pic but it's the same problem now, as discussed a few weeks ago on here (going to do insurance route now).

relisted at £500. Listed as "new other" haha

Good shout. On that second pic the mirror, I slotted newspaper in, painted it, bit harder there. Maybe remove it before it cures in that example?

Really shit basic decorating question. If painting something like a frame, mirror, or cabinet door, I will do it on some newspaper. The newspaper will then stick to it and be a real pain in the arse. Should I be using decorator's tape on the item being painted?
