Tesco Express Hackney Road going hard on Easter. This was taken in between Christmas and New Years, and doesn't include the end of aisles which also had lots of egg-shaped chocolates.

Isn't parody of the daily absurd Motherland's raison d'etre though?

Any interest in a Wahoo Kickr V1? Currently sit unused since my road bike got pinched and unsure when I will realistically be back on it. Unless mistaken £250 seems to be market value. E2 based

This was the rowing plan I used. Kept to 3 sessions a week and found the want to complete it helped give me a target during the tougher periods. Trying to figure out my training plan and goals for this year at present...

Echoing what’s been said upstream, I found the 2022 edition of this thread very helpful last year even if I didn’t post as much as I had initially anticipated.

I started 2022 feeling very out of shape at 83.6kg which was an all-time high for me. Cycling had always been my primary form of exercise although a young child had all but killed this for anything other than commuting, and this was doubled down by the birth of our 2nd late 2021. A repeated crooked neck from sitting part-upright in bed with our newborn along with a gym opening very close to where we live prompted me into action and I started following the rowing equivalent of a couch to 5kg targeting 75kg. I kept rowing up all year (a first for me) and hit my target weight early July before plateauing around ~76kg which I am happy with.

I’m starting 2023 at 78.1kg after a good holiday period and keeping last year's target of 75kg which I would like to achieve and maintain. I am interested in getting stronger this year and beating previous PB’s.

I did find this thread incredibly helpful at the outset of the year whilst trying to establish healthier routines and will look to contribute when I can. Good luck all!

I've booked in for Bubala tomorrow in Spitalfields which I've heard great things about. Also made it to The Tamil Prince in Caledonian Road way a few weeks back - 100 banging!

Yes! Not the usual suggestion on here but definitely scratched an itch pre-Covid after watching a documentary on Chicago with continuous mention of pizza-pie etc. Initial thoughts were that the pizza was small, but my god did that thing put me into a food coma.

Near identically unit for unit, although I believe Josko charged extra for survey/installation where as Velfac factored this into their prices.

I was looking at Josko One for a project last year. Very similar to Velfac although slightly more refined looking and slimmer sightlines (50mm vs 54mm).

TBH Velfac works well if you keep well within their size charts. Start pushing the max sizes and it can get a bit clunky as mentioned above.

The best you could hope for might have been to go halves on extending the party wall up.

A Party Wall Award will cover this (in kind), in that the person doing the work pays first pays for the wall, and the person enclosing upon it down the line will pay 1/2 the cost of the wall at current rates. Seems fair and by far offers the most robust solution. Those flashed-together dormer boxes with questionable separation leave a lot to be desired.

Either would be a strong look! I do really like the lairier Paraboots and had been eyeing up their raphia model a year or two back for summer wear.

Size depending, Goodhood in Shoreditch will have you sorted on these!

Ah! They definitely won't have those, I think it is black and brown only. I believe Hip Store stock them but that doesn't help with going to see them in N1. Maybe End?

Oliver Spencer (Lambs Conduit Street and Shoreditch) stock them. Maybe worth phoning ahead to check they have the colour/size you want.

Perla and Black Steel Doors came back most competitively for a project I worked on last year.

Only ok if single use and bought from Shein.

None of us think our shit stinks. All of us think paper straws are rubbish.

Recommendation for something with easy and social with friends mid-week central/east/north london please.

Meeting some friends who we used to do different burger joints in the peak burger years. What’s the dining equivalent these days?

Tried the Tamil Prince but no dice unless we fancy a 9:30 sitting.

Gumballs > Golf balls

There's been a few interesting articles on the American sweet shop boom and Westminster in particular seem to be gunning hard for them.

Landlords keen to fill empty stores to avoid business rates liability. The suggestion is that the majority of American sweet shops have complex shell company setups that are hard to pinpoint who the actual occupier is and/or they easily disappear.

Interesting times for high streets which are completely depleted.

Beautiful, looking forward to giving his new album a spin. Everything that I've heard from it so far has been stellar including Lone Swordsman which is next level 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

This is the kit I have. It's from 2013(!) but was only selectively worn so by no means knackered. Size M though

I potentially have their original kit and shorts which I was looking to move on. Need to check size but either S or M. Can confirm later

Super, will check it out!

Maybe a repost but I pretty much devoured both series 1 & 2 of HBO's How To with John Wilson in 2-3 nights. Modern conundrums set against amazing footage with bizarre comedic story arcs. Perfect 30min TV.
