How does she compare to Truss and Kwarteng?

Are those the ones rated 18+ ? Some kids ended up in hospital after sharing a pack at school.

Slightly off topic but in other snack news has anyone else got a thing for nuts?
Had some Brindisi mercona almonds which are sublime but hideously expensive so have got some M&S ones to try, smoked and salted.
They also do some rosemary cashews that go well with a G’nT.

It was but there are a lot of pissed off people as co-headliner Roisin Murphy cancelled earlier in the day a few hours before her start time.
People had flown in from all over Europe and beyond and had 3 hours of ‘Horse Meat Disco’ to endure before any talent arrived on stage, many are demanding partial refunds.

Luckily for me the ticket was free and I live 3min walk away, was only ever going to wander over for the grand dame anyway!

Proper blew my mind with the energy of someone half her age.

Stupendous

I would want to own one purely because it says “Gigantic and Tremendous” on the front

@Stevethecoffee That so needs a Yamaha Gigantic and Tremendous turntable to go with it

There is always Bristan? Had a kitchen tap that seemed quite weighty with brass internals and has lasted ok, think they might be made in UK?

Unfortunately I’m not buying anything :-/ but was taken by the Massi mainly because of the slightly oversize tubing, I don’t ride my pegoretti enough to justify buying another Italian steel bike and still have a Chesini prima in columbus spirit to shift.

Can you stretch the top tube an inch or 2 on the Massi?

I would actually ride it if it was mine though..

we have brass cross water with the crossbox thing for the mixer, seems quality though there are some bits of plastic like the shower column fittings but the fact there is unlikely to be any issue with spares or repair swung it for us.

all this boutique stuff from abroad sounds great until something breaks and you need spares. (velocios kitchen tap scenario)

Studio Ore?
This is a 40k bathroom yes?

If I had the need/desire for a +1 and it was a little bit longer in the top tube I would be splashing the cash but I don’t get to ride the bikes I already have as it is.

This was in a local(ish) bike shop I walked past today, apologies for shite pic but it was a lovely looking bike.

Would have been seen as good value if it had expanded the thick racist voter base and won the tories another election.
Thankfully that plan didn’t work out too well.

Insane amount of money spaffed though.

so on that 30º+ day Tado shows it’s only gone up .4 of a degree from the morning until partner decided it was better to open the window in the bedroom where it goes up nearly a whole degree which is the steep line. I closed the blind and the heavy curtains late morning, can see where the window was open and the sudden change when everything was closed.
This made it the coolest room in the house despite being in full sun from about 6am to 3pm. this isn’t all down to glass as the internal insulation plays a big part too. in fairness to her though the breeze and drop in humidity mean’t it didn’t feel much hotter. impressed with how slow the increase was during the day though.

So you reckon it helps stop overheating? Because there seem to be completely contradictory opinions on that and I've struggled to find a definitive answer.

The accepted orthodoxy seems to be that it can cause overheating, that's what it says if you google "low e glass overheating”

It stops some of the uv solar gain I can feel that just by having my hand behind the glass and then sliding the pane across, i can also feel the slight difference when there is one pane in front of the other (we don’t have double glazing just old crittall windows and secondary glazing). it definitely works for us but every case is different. SE facing so get a fair bit of sun up to about 2 pm in summer but there is a small projecting lip round the whole window (5m long) so when the sun is at it’s highest the sun only hits a small section of floor as this lip and the wide window sill means the rest of the room isn’t in direct light only reflected.
what the glass also does is stop some heat loss in winter, it seems to work very well then as the sun is now in a lower and shorter arc in the sky so if it’s clear we get winter sun coming into the room all day and in autumn/spring it can mean the heating doesn’t come on. so the glass is helping to keep that solar gain in.
We also have thermal foil backed blinds so when it’s heatwave time these are closed along with the windows around lunchtime until 2pm and this way the temps remain stable until opening windows around 5-6pm. my partner opened them early last week when it was 32º outside and the Tado plot showed the temp rise immediately

TLDR: in our use case it makes a significant difference and i’m glad we specced it.
I know the next flats on the SSW and W sides overheat as they bake in the sun right to sundown so another option might work there, they have their blinds drawn most of the day whereas ours are open after 2pm.

Pilkington make different versions of K glass to suit different usage requirements.

“ Your low-E triple glazing - that helps keep heat in but not out right? Or have you reversed it?”

low-E differentiates between long and short waves so solar heat (long wave UV) is blocked one way and infa red shorter wavelengths are also blocked to stop heat leaving the room, what would reversing it do apart from creating differences between the 2 pane gaps?
