I have hive and was skeptical as to it's value at first. The old thermostat could be programmed into 6 time periods per 24 hours with pre-set temperatures so ,in theory, all that Hive adds to the equation is the ability to be controlled from a computer or phone and the fact that the unit could be moved.

I can't really see any advantage to the remote control aspect to be honest. I suppose ease of turning it down a bit while i'm away on hols maybe but that's maybe 3 weeks a year and I wouldn't want it that different anyway. If it were summer and I was away the heating wouldn't come on anyway so no biggie. If it were winter my normal setting of 20 all day and 18 at night requires the boiler to to fire up occasionally during the day (which i'd want to keep damp at bay anyway) and hardly at all at night.

The portable unit itself is great however. When the old thermostat was in the tiled hallway the heating seemed to be forever be blasting on and off with some rooms getting far too hot and others too cold. Being a seemingly more sensitive thermostat able to be placed in the bedroom or living room really seems to have evened the heating out and (i think) resulted in much more comfortable living environment. Big swings in temperature seemed to exacerbate our underlying damp issue and the more constant temperature seems to have dried things out a bit. I'm hopeful it will save cash in the long term too.

Just kidding. I understand being bewildered by the the sacred cows of critical consensus.

I've been in the same boat before with Elvis, Bowie, Johnny Cash, Nick Drake, John Coltrane and even the Stones. I "got it" at some point with all of those. That now reads like a list of some of my all time favorite musicians.

I still have a massive head-scratching lack of comprehension at the adulation heaped on Nick Cave and even to a large extent Leonard Cohen (yes I get that some lyrics are great but the music is often perfunctory and often totally horrible).

The odd thing is that when I finally clicked with a lot of these long misunderstood classic acts I very often went the other way and got totally absorbed and a bit obsessed.

heathens!

Brace yourself for the cheese puns...

yes i steeled it.

nope, actually when coupled with a one tonne peavey 4x10 was it the low frequency provider from juvenile badly dressed Islington three piece shouty countrymathpunk idiots Daddy Long Legs in the mid 'oughties. This amp has played the Garage more times than you've had hot flushes.

shit. Someone put our 7" on youtube. horrible horrible soundquality. Appropriate.

It then did widdly dink bass duties in Mathrock weirdos Quadrilles for a bit before getting in the bass player's mum's way for three years while he lived in first Mongolia and then Italy.

Now it's sitting in my hallway attracting spiders.

It's very loud. Anyone want it? For swapsies maybe?

Anyone want a bass amp?

Me and my new hippy guitar strap (which looks ace btw) will playing a free gig at The Miller in London Bridge about 9pm this evening. All welcome.

^Be interesting trying to hear what (i presume) they're talking about through broadcast radio compression.

Will have a listen later.

i thought you'd spelled 'shoulder' incorrectly and then i clicked on the link and now i'm sad. that strap belongs on an ovation... in a christian coffee morning band.

Ha. Thanks for ruining it man. I have four of these in different designs. I dig them.

I was feeling like i'd made a big purchase after ordering another Souldier strap this week. Got this "Hendrix" one but in a reddy browny blacky sort of colour. Suh-weeet!

Yeah man. Is that a brand spanker? Where did you get it from?

Expecting Elevenses Room, Brunch Room, Afternoon Tea Room and Late Nite Kebab Room to be posted as well.

I've been stalking those as well!

find the ladderax supports a bit heavy visually
agreed. but rosewood!

That is super nice. Would be perfect for my little "studio in the corner of the living room" too.

-10,000 forum points for defiling your nice shelves with a James Martin cook book.

Anyway, architecture and interior design thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No. Looks like a Grand Designs house for a couple who only own coffee table books and never have sex.

Sexeh mid-century furniture OTOH *rubs thighs manically.

Not sure "the wall" is the right solution.

^^Ah, the problem of what to point your furniture at when you don't have a tv.

They found Nutella in the tomb of Tutankhamun that was still edible.

Hehe. Yeah I twigged that the place I was looking at had bedrooms the size of our broom cupboard. Still. Some really nice stuff there. If you're loaded.

Thanks y'alls. Agent never called back. Obviously bastards. I may use them to sell this place!
