It's weird isn't it. I have a heavily modified Mk3 MR2. We're talking engine swap with miles more power, lowered, alloys and so on - all the things that would normally hurt people. I drive a company car too and little NCB. Yet it's under £250. Yes, I know I'm over 50 and that helps. My Missus...

Most people who don't use RO water + chemicals tend to use Tesco Ashbeck. I use it for NEIPAs and it's great. Most bottled waters are very different. Saying all of that, I've just done a Duvel clone using Ashbeck and it's got "that homebrew tang" So I guess it might depend on what you're brewing.

Be interesting to see how you get in with Mango Madness. I'm not a fan at all (see my thread - I was so excited about it too!)

Oh completely agree about the privacy settings. It's just many people don't know how to change their settings. And I absolutely agree - he's pleaded guilty and will likely end up with a suspended sentence. I'm just glad that the scumbag that sent them will be sent down too. And hopefully if he...

Ah ok. Fair question. Whatsapp is a phone application that's similar to SMS texting. But you can also create groups and add people to it. You can also send photos and things, so it's not just text. The last big issue was with Boris during Covid. He created a Whatsapp group where he was...

Sadly, the way Whatsapp works is that by viewing them, they're saved to your phone. As I've said above, an iPhone not only saves them, but it saves them to your photo gallery, so they're mixed up with the 1,000s of other photos you have. At least Android puts them in a separate folder. The...

To add, I haven't really checked the news today and noticed the fella is now known https://news.sky.com/story/who-is-the-convicted-paedophile-who-sent-huw-edwards-illegal-images-13188554 Interestingly, it was Edwards downfall - the Police weren't actually investigating Huw Edwards. It was by...

Oh absolutely. I struggle to see how he thought he was going to get away with it. Back to your Facebook group, we're talking about Whatsapp groups. Once you leave the group, you've left. Anything that was still in that group whilst you were in it is still there. It's not so easy to report...

And therein lies the issue. You don't know. And you're clearly internet savvy. So someone who isn't so internet savvy definitely isn't. FTR, you can't. Once you leave a group, you can't see any content. But it's still there. And still shows you being in the group at the time, so you know about...

And this is kinda the point. If it's a mate sending you something that's morally wrong, errs slightly on the wrong side of the law, are we saying you should stitch them up? I've been sent videos that in my mind are casually racist, mysoginist or homophobic before. So that's illegal. I'm happy...

I mean, I can make you a 10%+ ABV liquid using mostly water, sugar, bran and bread yeast. It takes a few minutes, takes off like a bomb and is done in 2 days. I'd point out here that you wouldn't want to drink it (unless you were in prison or something).

He's guilty as charged and I'm certain he will receive a suspended sentence and community service. There are a number of issues with this case. As someone who works in IT, I don't understand the "Making indecent images". In every way I can think of the way a computer program works, the receiver...

Yes, first two I think. Although he wasn't put in the nurses situation, it was suggested to him that it would be in the best interests. His girlfriend had it twice before the vaccinations even came out. Let's not forget that covid rocked up in March 2020 in significant numbers. It wasn't until...

Have any of you had it before? My eldest son has never had Covid. Now bear in mind during Covid he was a prison officer. His girlfriend was also worked in the prison in another area. It was absolutely rife around the prison - and still is. His girlfriend has had it at least 8 times - every time...

I spoke to our head brewer yesterday. He was saying that particularly in bulk, WHC yeasts are 1/3 of the price of Lallemand. He made one of his usual brews using the WHC equivalent and in my opinion, it's not as good. He asked me, because he knows it's my favourite. I had a few of mine this...

There's a lot of it kicking around at work at the moment. Plus a number of friends have mentioned getting it in the last couple of weeks on FB.

Oh I'm not going to play it down. I'm just saying that he chose to share things that had nothing to do with those issues. And therein lies the issue. If you want to be a whistle blower, be a whistle blower. The minute you step over the line where you use the opportunity to use spite, you've...

I'm not sure sharing national secrets and a horse whipping video are the same thing. Assange played with fire and got burnt. Assange wasn't the hero he was made out to be. Yes, there were some things that showed that the US Army don't always play by the rules, but that was only a fraction of...

I'm not going to hit the deadline :( Mine needs lagering for at least another week or two.

Yeah, mead isn't great from the get go. Needs to mature. I'd say yes, degassing is probably the thing. Might be worth giving it a really, really good shake to get the gas out, then put the lid back on for a bit. Personally, I made a simple mead and deliberately made it semi-sparkling.
