Kitchen sinks. We've got the size and mounting etc figured out, but we have to decide between composite (in black I think) or white porcelain. Is there any obvious pro/con to either? Is composite a shit to clean?
We're undermounting with draining grooves cut into the worktop (not wood obv), if that makes a difference. Help!

I have a 78 mustang, and I switch between that and a Les Paul. I’ve not played a modern one, but my experience would concur with what Rickster has said as I don’t find it shockingly different to the 60s profile LP neck. It definitely is narrower though, and the string tension is low, it’s my favourite guitar.
I don’t have v big hands (medium endura gloves), but I’m a 30-something male so I don’t require a smaller guitar as such

There was a bit of jamming, and I keep chucking the hopper thing off, and the grass barely makes it in there anyway. The ground is lumpy as fuck, but I do only have like 5m2 or something. Probably took a concerted hour to sort out the first time, plus strimming the edges. As I mentioned up thread we’re going to lose most of the grass in the end so manual seemed fine. Plus whoever called it the fixed gear of mowing fully influenced me and I had no choice

I picked up the Bosch hand mower recently, we have a very bumpy shit lawn at the moment but when I get round to sorting the garden it will mainly be planted up so I won’t have much mowing to do.
The mower is fine. It doesn’t collect the trimmings well, but I rake it up after. For £40 I’m perfectly happy

I've got a bit of a peculiar plumbing situation, and I wonder if anyone here has come across something similar (and hopefully, solved it)
Our cold water pipes make a fairly horrifying shrieking sound. I don't think it did it when we first moved in, and it does vary a bit. It seems to only be triggered by stuff that's further away from the stopcock, in the bathroom upstairs. Kitchen sink doesn't make it happen, nor washing machine.
Flushing the toilet, running the cold sink tap etc makes a super load noise UNLESS the shower has been running for a while. Brushing teeth after a shower, no shrieking. Running the tap etc also makes the shower head drip quite a lot, I'm pretty sure that's been getting worse too.
I can only think that it must be in some way pressure-related. I thought for a while that the stopcock was not opened up enough, I had to shut it off to fit the washing machine and then it did give the warning for 'not getting enough water', so opened it up more. Then some more as an experiment re the noise. Eventually the stopcock started to drip a tiny bit so I tightened it up again, no discernable change in the noise.
Probably going to get a new stopcock and have all that area of pipework sorted out as part of the new kitchen, but ahead of having a plumber spend hours diagnosing, is there anything I should try?

Our overall size is limited due to small kitchen and packing in a slimline dishwasher. Good to have that vote though, colour scheme wise I think white will be fine, quartz style composite worktop and white-ish tiles
