Re: No F1 thread?
First race I've watched live in at least a year and a half - that was a good one to choose!

Re: 12Cilindri
I really like the front-end and the Daytona middle section, but the back just looks a mess. Maybe its the two-tone colour exaggerating it in all the wrong places? The one thing that I really don't like about the design is the exhaust pipes. I hate these little square things that look they're from a...

Re: Decent plain t-shirts
H&M I feel like the quality of H&M essentials has gone down over the last few years though. I've still got some of their £4 t-shirts / £9 long sleeve t-shirts that I bought pre COVID that are holding up strong, but ones I bought in the last couple of years already have holes in them. The co...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase
I've no desire to buy a huge house in the countryside miles away from my friends or start living like a high roller. I'd probably put £1m or so on a nice but not extravagant two bedroom flat in Shoreditch. Would probably want to do a round the world trip before too long and would prioritise that ove...

Re: Collecting cars
Yes, enjoyable but the sound is very poor isn’t it! Listening to it after Smith and Sniff makes it especially obvious and shows how it can be done much better Smith and Sniff has terrible sound quality this week, but they recorded in person instead of their usual setup. I listen to Collecting Cars ...

Re: The Watches Thread
Love Studio Underd0g's originality of design and sense of humour. Don't mind spending a bit more to support a fun British based design studio - product cost isn't all about the cost of parts and of course a British based company will have higher costs than a Chinese based one even if their parts are...

Re: The Sphere in Vegas (nd)
Oh wow I had missed that.... I'd seen a few apartments for sale right by this location recently which seemed relatively good value for London, I guess now that it's cancelled they'll be unaffordable to me!

Re: Pie or no pie
I don't think we can define it as being encased in pastry because of shepherd's pie, fish pie etc., but a pastry lid on top on a dish of pie filling sounds pathetic. A really big bugbear of mine since moving to London has been that it's literally impossible to find a decent pie at the supermarket. B...

Re: 2023 review / 2024 plans
Had a great long weekend away with friends in Macedonia at the beginning of the year. Also went on a holiday to Switzerland and Austria with a sex worker who I'd only previously met once when we went on a date three years ago (that was before she got into this line of work) - she ended up running a...

Re: 2023 review / 2024 plans
Despite some very positive noises from my manager at the end of 2021, my sabbatical request was turned down (they can't afford to lose me for three months apparently), so I had to 'make do' with a three week holiday in India (basically Mumbai to Delhi through Rajasthan) followed by a further three ...

Re: Would you UK honours?
Would accept with a little reluctance but would never use it or want it to be used in my name. Unless I was given it in Liz Truss' resignation honors, then I'd not accept!

Re: Open University
I'm currently a shipping manager for an ecomm company. I try and push sustainability as much as possible but ultimately I'm responsible for shipping out 1000s of parcels a week all over the world. Part of what's given me the push is seeing how lightweight a lot of what companies push as sustainabil...

Re: Open University
What I will offer from genuine experience is that sustainability is a very over subscribed and underpaid career path. There are two paths in sustainability, either campaigning and researching what a better future looks like, or making products and services. Lots of people with MScs and PhDs want to...

My dad turned 70 last month but is old for his age. He's had bad gout for a long time as well as diabetes related numbness in his legs and now can't walk without a zimmer frame and uses a mobility scooter when he's out of his apartment building, though I think he probably could walk further with the...
