Value of vintage furniture
My Dad has taken our old kitchen table and chairs out of the attic and asked me to sell them, and very kindly has said I can keep the money. Having looked online, they seem to be anywhere from 110 for a table to 2000 for the table with 4 chairs. I have a table and 2 chairs. I had no idea they were e...

Re: Getting old.

Re: Insurers (of all stripes)
Insurance companies are dicks. Last house insurance was only viewable through a portal to see the whole amount which annoyed me. It only went up a pound or two a month so I saved hassle and stayed put but when you get the coubling and tripling quotations Ieven if they then offer a price match I won'...

With the early Gramins I wore a citizen ecodrive or Jorg Gray and just poppedon the sports wtahc for sports but I stupidly left the ecodrive in a drawer and now it doesn'...

Re: Ultra Marathon - general running thread
Yes, my wife is on various running groups and it was the fact it was being caled an "ultra ultra" that caused people to raise an eyebrow.

Re: Ultra Marathon - general running thread
Ascender I am doing Isaac's Tea Trail by Greener Miles. Should be challenging without being completely daft, like the Spine race and similar such events. We are starting slow and just building up miles over the coming weeks and months, and upping time on feet. I haven't the lung capacity since Covi...

Re: Any recommendations for winter tyres?
I am getting two Vredestein Quadracs all seasons put on the Superb today as the ditch finders it came on, have handily worn down a fair bit. Hopefully the backs will be done shortly too. A few discussions on a Superb FB group and the Vredesteins were highly rated, as were crossclimates.

Re: Undergoing recalibration.
I am not even sure my amp is plugged in at the mains. I am fairly sure the CD player isn't. I have old Mission speakers, no idea, maybe 732s, and the amp/receiver is a Marantz that retailed around £600 back in the late 90s. Great kit, but if I am WFH I have my phone streaming through a freebie Bluet...
