Some cyclists take issue with cars passing, or cars wanting them to move over or passing close and fast etc, yet when I'm a pedestrian either pavement or countryside footpath cyclists rarely slow or give way to pedestrians and do all the same things they complain about. It seems to be against...

Had a few recently say do you want to open a tab when I ask for a pint and a menu, another place said £5 minimum transaction I said fair enough I'll have 2 pints, which I would have anyway, and they pull me another when I'm ready. Good common sense stuff

I go to a microbrewery that is card payment only. I rarely carry cash the only time I draw it out is for the few places (fronts?) that are cash only like Turkish barbers etc.

I can't see any other reason for a treacle taste other than dark malts in the mash or just in the recipe. It's all learning though, hopefully you can pinpoint what it is that you're not keen on and avoid it. For me one of the worst things in beers is Lactose and I avoid any beer with it in like...

Mashing dark malts could potentially give a treacly taste. Which malts were in the recipe? Some people add the roasted malts just at the final 10 minutes of the mash for this reason. Start simple I say until you get a feel for the processes. Single malt, single hops, something like a pale or...

I like it, it seems to be a low attenuator apparently, used it in my low abv beer and finished very quick.

Fascinating really. Is stout sweeter? And would that attract women to drink it?

Just the usual really, swigging a dry hopped beer in a pub in a room that smells of bleach 👋

I've seen several residential roads in England randomly being dropped to 20mph, I've been trying to stick to it but its painfully slow... and this is coming from someone who enjoys narrowboating at 4mph. The only way I can realistically stick to it is by using the cruise control with gritted...

Navigating at the moment but will need to see how it fits around work

I rigged up a wood fired HLT at the weekend 🤣 well, not really it was a hot tub heater, definitely not an old washing machine drum, copper coil and back boiler water pump. But it got me wondering it could certainly heat a HLT too

You just have to be persistent with them. I'd use them more often if it was easier to cancel when you don't want them for a while

I sold all my vinyls last week, a few hundred, I got a lot for them I should have probably asked for more but I just wanted to shift them as I'm downsizing. 90s techno, trance, house etc, not well known tracks mostly stuff that never would have had a music video for example, but to those in the...

All being well, I'll be living on this in a few days. Already had it craned, surveyed, blacked, just need to pay up the remainder. It's a 45 ft cruiser stern, 35hp Beta Marine 4 cylinder diesel

Nope, it's at the very bottom of my to-do list
