Sent, thank you.

Just wanted to say I’ve made several attempts at DM’s, but am unable to send unfortunately, this message comes back: “Ooops! We ran in to some problems.” You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: Nando No idea what that’s all about but anyway, wanted to acknowledge your...

A byproduct of this is the ICE manufacturers have given up the numbers fight and are concentrating on the visceral experience. Some tremendous new V12 options targeting those who appreciate that sort of thing with very deep pockets, but also noticeable how those with fewer resources are being...

Been learning a bit about woodland ownership when plotting off-road bike rides recently and that’s been a bit of an eye-opener. Another tax-evading loophole that needs closing. ALL incomes from commercially managed woodlands are completely free from income AND corporation tax apparently. (I’ve...

Thanks for the heads up on that. My lad can’t get to many games at the moment and has let his membership lapse, so to go together it’s general sale and convenient times/dates only. Just picked up 2 right near the back so it’ll be a binoculars job, but anyway, not expecting too much will just be...

Yep, it’s a shame the process does its best to drain all joy and enthusiasm from what should be an exciting time - especially when it’s your first home. The conveyancing process on this place was an adventure, as the houses are built on land that squatters claimed on Epsom common. They...

Thanks, will do.

That is an option being considered. Thing is, confidentiality is paramount as the builder is a nasty piece of work. He’s made it known he knows there are at least 2 residents that have raised objections and has made clear there would be repercussions. Problem is, the planners have given a...

One for the advice thread? Mine’s a relatively new boiler but packed up last year and with the help of the net and YouTube topped up the water to bring the pressure back up and bingo. Two weeks ago packed up again, green flashing light on boiler. More youtubing and head-scratching. and...

Currently involved in a triangular cat and mouse with the planners and a developer breaching regulations on a property a few doors away so thoughts from anyone with knowledge on the planning side would be appreciated. Background is: small bungalow, nice plot. Owner dies, lots of interest from...

Was going to say the left, but to be honest most opposing sides on any matter are now so tactically astute it’s effectively all-out online warfare regardless.

They’re both as bad as each other and it’s all out tactical warfare playing out online. It probably suits the right more than the left so we’re trapped in the attempts to silence and the ammunition it gives to the protection of free speech. Looks to me like Trump’s mob are convinced they’ve...

Thought it was a one series at first Looks really nice in that ST spec, bet it’s great to drive too. Fair play for bucking the trend and buying a proper car. Far too many SUV’s in this world.

Funnily enough in the club(s) we’ve just been having conversations around this sort of thing. We just had 4 nicked from outside a pub on a Wednesday evening 3 weeks ago. With locks pretty much a waste of time when up against a cordless angle grinder, and the Police barely worth the energy it...

Won’t keep sticking Harry’s videos up but in the context of the rapidly changing face of motoring already spoken about on here, this one is very interesting. Current and future legislation means new cars are leaving enthusiastic drivers cold and as their interest turns elsewhere it’s having a...

Couldn’t agree more. The wife’s off-road bike doesn’t get used much and was sat gathering dust as needed a bottom bracket. Couldn’t really justify the cost of a shop repair so it sat doing nothing, but with the help of the new tools, stand and YouTube finished the job this afternoon. Was a...

Pretty sure I never really thought about it much and just rode bikes that were pretty knackered. I get a bit obsessive now and keep right on top but that’s no bad thing as far as safety is concerned. It’s good you’ve got access to affordable repairs as it’s frightening what bike shops are...

Was quite surprising how quickly components were wearing out on the trails so invested in equipment and upped my DIY skills to save in the longer term. Now changing bottom brackets, cassettes, chains, cranksets, headset bearings etc so pretty pleased with that. Was totalling things up and made...

Pleased to hear it’s going so well. Have to agree E-bikes really are a game changer. Even as a keen cyclist I couldn’t get into the concept of cycling as the default for commuting and short journeys as they can still be pretty hard work, and who wants to arrive at work/the pub/anywhere sticky...
