Just emailed Mike P aka u-ziq who says they're releasing a 25th anniversary edition of Lunatic Harness on July 8th.

Of course, but if your in the same ball park figure and they get on with their neighbours then it can only help.

Just offer what you think the property is worth to you, within the current market.

Don't forget to appear credible by adding a sentence to explain your offer, and to appear prepared for the purchase by explaining your position. Obviously FTB is great, but even just to make it apparent that you're purchasing it to live in. Any context is favourable, some people like to know the buyer isn't an Air BNB landlord for example.

On the face of it the various articles make it sounds like the incidents were him telling people to fuck off and being rude, but the allegations from Angus Sinclair for example sound like campaign of abuse.

Anyone tried cloth filters? Like this: https://theclothfilter.co.uk/shop/p/wave

Just got one but tried it on shit coffee at work, so none the wiser really.

I'm a big fan of metal filters on the aeropress, I guess this is the closet thing on drip? At the least it saves the £10-15 a pop on Kalita filters.

Now to wait till a work colleague throws it away.

Hear, hear.

Generally you don't have to spend big to get very nice coffee, but espresso depends entirely on finding a sweet spot of flow rate which is primarily determined by grind size. Therefore the grinder is the most important part of an espresso setup.

That said, you can try with your grinder, you might even be able to mod it a bit finer, and if you can;t go fine, then try using the pressurised portafilter. There's nothign wrong with that, it will still taste nice and you can steam milk to go with it and practice latte art.

I started with a classic and a modded dualit grinder like yours. I made bad espresso, but I made tasty milk drinks and learned a bit until I got a used commercial grinder for £60 on gumtree.

Just try making coffee and see what you get within your limitations.

That's the long held assumption of how the civil service works

I moved this month, so I've ended up on a deemed tariff with EDF, the provider which happened to be in place at my new address.

All the advice says not to get a new contract, but what do you do if on a deemed tariff?

Why are you being mean?

I got 4 of these for 100 records, but frustratingly they are just slightly too short to close the lid when full of records. I still like them, but they aren't ideal.

An embarrassing statement from the Met:

Not many listeners at the top of the Met it seems

Server: "It doesn't work like that it [intelligible]"

Lady "I wanna talk to the manager"

"OK one second" [Spins under the counter and re-appears] "Hi, How can I help you?".

"What the fuck is your problem?"

"What is my problem! You came in here acting like you own the place"

"I want to rent a ... Yaaacht"

"Does it look like we have yachts?"

"I see them all around there"

"We don't have any yachts for rent"

"I see them, who's yachts are they?"

"They're personal yachts"

"You don't want to make any money at this restaurant?"

"I guess we don't"

"Well f... [pause] What the hell are you doing you can't record me, that is against my [something] law"

"Ma'am, ma'am"

"Gimme that"

Part E of the Building Regulations

Wow, that's a lot of info!

I'm sure I'm doing the same to the flat below me. I want to fix that too!

Yeah I have been thinking about that, it feels wrong, but if the costs are comparable or even less then it makes sense to do the more effective option.

Then of course, even if I offer to cover costs, there's little reason for them to oblige given the upheaval for my benefit.

I'll have to broach the subject with them and see how it goes. It's a floor issue rather than a them issue.

Yeah I'll have to hope I get used to it for now.

The lease does include a carpet requirement, not that a carpet alone would be enough, so if it does do my head in I guess I might be able to argue that they're in breach of the lease.

I don't want to make enemies, but is possible to require that a leaseholder includes sound dampening material in the floor, in the event that any work to the floor is done? An "if you do it, do it properly" kind of thing?

Just completed on my first flat. I'm over the moon after saving for ~6 years.

The only big drawback for me is that it's an old building and I have an upstairs neighbour, so I get a lot of footsteps noise (I knew this going in). Anyone have any experience of sound proofing from upstairs impact noise? I don't get any airborne noise. I get the impression that it's largely pointless or expensive, compared to getting the neighbour to dampen noise at source, but I have over 3.5m high ceilings so plenty of space for sub ceiling if needed.

A lot of people pointing out that this £8.7 bn plus the £5 bn cost of Covid loan fraud equates to more than the £12 bn projected to be raised by the 10% rise in NI.

Sorry to spread false hope if so.

If it's any consolation, they seem to give out gift vouchers if that happens.

I've had a 12 off 80 spend for months but it ran out yesterday!

Make sure you deselect "Allow substitutions", apparently they've been known to swap it for something else!

Delivery only it seems
