terribly late on this, but i'm a right vacuum snob and recently got this Philips one, couldn't be happier with it. outrageously powerful, deceptively quiet, easy to manoeuvre.

i have multiple questions, having just moved from a boat to a house:

1. i need to re-do the kitchen. it's a crap space, sort of a galley but doors not in the centre of each end, slightly off to one side. i don't know any tradespeople, i would like it to be inexpensive, i need floor to ceiling units rather than boxy standalone OTP ones. who would you recommend? i am aware there are sales on at Wickes etc until early Jan which has piqued my interest and i would be keen to take advantage of same

2. would you recommend stripping and recoating victorian floorboards? i absolutely loathe the crummy red carpet we've been left with, but not sure whether to just put laminate in instead of the bare floorboards

3. where can i find the history of my house? my neighbour tells me that this particular end of terrace house is older than the surrounding houses (which is visible purely from the looks of it) and i'm the only one with a plaque/stone house name brick thing (i don't know what this is called, sorry). is it just land registry that would have this info?

4. does anyone want to buy this boat? (please.)

going on ebay this weekend if no one is interested

PRICE DROP again £400

nope! still available :)

PRICE DROP £410 (£20 will still go to the forum) please please buy this

they're strictly cornershop fare these days, but yes

It is indeed 1"!

No one seems interested which I'm frankly boggled at given the price so please do let me know!

Size wise it was perfect for me with long legs and a shortish body, but GT sizing does tend to be a little... proprietary

Bought this off the very lovely @±ln(x) and was dead chuffed because it's amazing. It hung around for ages while I debated over how to build it up, I then decided I'd never be able to afford the parts I'd want so I'm passing it on - building up a sub par Ti bike would not spark joy. It's a really special frame, but I'm not much for road riding anyway. My loss is your gain!

I think it's from ~1996 and as such it's in remarkably good condition - I dare say the stickers have a bit of wear but the frame itself has only the very faintest of buffs/marks. It's been kept indoors and I've cleaned it:

The sizing is 55cm seat tube CTC (58CTT) and 54cm top tube. Comes with the CK headset and Columbus forks. It looks like this when it's built up (not my build):

Pick up from Brixton and Paypal preferred. I got it for the unbelievably reasonable £400, so I'm asking for £420 and a packet of Frazzles, and the £20 will go to the forum. (The Frazzles will go to me.)

pretty much every station will have this, epping is on a big hill :)

haha! no worries i'm too old for fomo thankfully

will killingsworth is like the kurt ballou/godcity of screamo, i'm definitely guilty of giving things more of a chance if they back some connection with it.

i'm too sick to go to the touche amore/deafheaven/portrayal of guilt show now so if anyone wants the ticket, hmu! i cba to go to camden to stand around feeling awful just to watch PoG and go home again

final leg instalment by kola at the circle. starting the arm in december! going a bit more traditional.

when i moved i did a huge clearout of cds, tapes and vinyl - most of the cds went on ziffit, but there are lots of other similar services. failing that somewhere like flashback records might possibly take them?

@ltc the lineup this year was superb, who's your other band apart from cady? i think it's already sold out (again!) right?

i agree with both your points btw - PoG is super cleanly produced which always struck me as a bit weird, but it makes me smile nonetheless. i didn't know they had moved from holy roar to a much bigger label now until a couple days ago. i also didn't know what you mentioned about SYSC but i really can't say i'm surprised (why is anything to do with mosh almost always wrapped up in someone being an asshole?!) (apart from the blessed pat flynn)

never heard of gif from god, thanks for that! it's got a little bit of everything haha. the blindgirls record was mastered by will killingsworth - of course i love it! great shout.

my rorcal recommendation: https://youtu.be/qVmwdu3zNYA?t=1053
dunno if BM really fits in this thread but whatever. skip to 14:00

current new releases i am enjoying:
seeyouspacecowboy - it's like 2006 met 2019 and i am HERE FOR IT
portrayal of guilt - excited to see what they're like live next week!
rorcal - only heard one track so far off the new record but YAAAS

next time!! >^.^<

Howard's been practicing his blue steel I see

ftfy

sorry to bail so early! turns out my anxiety is still too much for social rides. had a good pootle after dragging jellyaxe and rich all that way though - many thanks Pete <3

i have +2 (jellybabes and rich whose forum name i can never spell) and would love a sticker if there are any left, let me know who to throw money at

i finally caved and bought new shoes after 5 years, what better way to christen them than LOTS OF MUD

apologies to all - this slipped past, i didn't twig for ages, then i was mega embarassed, then i didn't bring it up because i got snowed under as we were moving (selling the boat, getting the dogs to somerset, buying a house) and i started a new job. as my mother would say though "it might be a reason, but it's not an excuse" so truly sorry to have got everyone to try and organise a date then silence! happy to attempt another, maybe i should futureproof and aim for an early december/xmas date :')

gutted i didn't see this - we're now in a far more respectable brixton instead of uxbridge!

bars and tyres received, thank you for delivering to me at work even in the drizzle! fiver donated to the forum too. cheers mate

@Señor_Bear looking very functional at farringdon lights yesterday. a far cry from the last bike i saw you on
