+ what everyone else said! Just don't go over the top with the celebrations, by doing something silly like drinking three glasses of wine

Coffee is a more sensitive to brewing time than tea, so leaving it 30 seconds longer can genuinely change the flavour profile. I notice it most when I do aeropress because I sometimes forget to set a timer, then walk off to do something else and it goes more bitter than I'd prefer.


You sir ...

I'm surprised no votes for a cafetiere. I like a proper coffee a few times a year at home, it's cheap, easy, quick and tastes great.

I assume I'm breaking some coffee wankers rule book with that 😂


Yeah, I'm perfectly happy with a cafetiere. I bought a phin filter when I was in Vietnam ...

+ One on teh one Jobbo linked too.

I bought a Zyxel xmg-108hp for about £85 but it's overkill for my use, and will be overkill for you too

The world needs more Sam Neills and less Elon Musks in immense measures - he was a top bloke and it genuinely feels like there's national mourning going on here currently. Same in Australia who semi adopted him.


His twopaddocks account on X/Twitter used to appear on my feed regularly and was ...

Very sad. I don't do horror movies, but Event Horizon is probably one of my favourites.


I remember buying Event Horizon on VHS, years after it came out (IIRC from the HMV bargain bin for something like £6). Watching it on my little CRT for the first time and being blown away by how good a film ...

Coffee should be a nice treat and not just a bitter caffeine hit. Unfortunately most people haven't experienced good coffee, all of the stuff sold in high street chains and most stuff sold in supermarkets is overprocessed but it's what they're used to.


Do you prefer the coffee pooped out by a ...

968 - a fellow 968 owner who I've known for years happens to have a spare bitsa exhaust, so hopefully we can fit it this Sunday. Feels like it's taken too long to get it sorted, but then I doubt I'd be driving it much during these heatwaves.


ClubSport was an A/C delete wasn't it? The recent ...

Now I get to say; "...did I ever tell you about the time I hung around with an actual Professor at the University of Cambridge?"

Big congrats DTEN, happy for ya!

M3 - MOT passed last week, no advisories. But they reckon the emissions are quite high? Not sure why, it had a new airfilter and oil change over winter and I run it on SUL. 1400 miles between MOTs, so pretty low amount of miles.

Airconditioning was also regassed a few weeks ago and is pushing ...

Under a hard braking event due to a blind people carrier driver, the Clio had 6 duck eggs launch into the footwell.

I held onto them along as I could but at the last minute needed 2 hands on the wheel due to bad road maintenance.

Sadly, 2 eggs didn't make it and the floor mat will need a good ...

We laugh at Trump but ffs we as a country aren't producing any better.

We’re a long way off the brazen and open cheating and stealing of Trump - the fact the country (including our press) are up in arms over shady donations and associating with criminals is a good thing.


Forgotten about ...

If Lewis didn’t pit he would still have been second, such was the gap to Charles. I don’t think the strategy was wrong though.


So then he would have been second not third - vulnerable to Russell on a final lap which didn’t happen and would have ended up with him in the same place he was ...

Cynical gits 😉

I was there Saturday for the Sprint & Quali. I was a friends +1 for hospitality tickets through his company and I didn't see any bellends or silly behaviour. I don't mind F1 getting more popular generally. It's expensive it is now that concerns me.

We were on the Hamilton Grandstand ...

Noticed this with the renewal for my 125 motorbike:



£5.02 for a years insurance, but the service fee is £35. Should I phone them up and complain about it?

Would have been £472, but I increased the value to £70k.


That sounds a bit pessimistic these days! How many miles are on it? There are 80,000 mile example (which I guess would be maybe average to high for age / type of car) listed for over £100k…


84,000 miles. The ones which are over £100k ...

Labour's policies may be different but they're no different than the Tory's in their Political Behaviour

At least the electorate can no longer deny this, so perhaps politics can go back to policy, rather than lazy point scoring

Of course it won't... :roll:


Whole political system needs a full ...

Indeed Harry, using old Beemers for practical stuff FTW

75KG of compost + a passenger + aircon on. Not much of a 'CSL' that day :lol:

I did wonder if I got stopped by the police and they asked to look in the boot, if carrying 75kg of compost would make ...

Done
