Another vote for Mancoco beans, I really like them for my espressos and the mrs likes them in her cappuccino. It has a fairly unique - almost sour - taste. If I can’t get to town to pick them up, the only mass market beans I find palatable are the Lavazza ones in the gold bags. They’re very...

Sounds like my mrs. Although to be fair she never camped outside, but would do a 3am get up and queue outside for a few hours to get the good stuff. She loved going to the Next sale a few times a year because we could fill the kids wardrobes for under £100 each with loads and loads of good...

I wouldn’t quite go that far ;) but yes RM is an acquired taste, and not to my liking. Pep’s comments made me chuckle a bit because he wears his blue RM at most games. He doesn’t even use social media and must be on a few people’s radar - he has at least two RM watches worth a combined 500k+...

Not looking for an argument, but it wasn’t all his belongings they went after. Just very high end watches and jewellery - and this article appears to have been written based solely on social media pics posted by Grealish...

Overnight I came up with a few more YouTubers the kids and I watch: Rate My Takeaway Beard Meets Food The Hydraulic Press channel The Industrial Shredder channel

Haven’t had IPTV for ages, can anyone recommend a decent one via PM perhaps?

My car insurance renewal came in today, the quote for the next 12 months is exactly 50% more (to the penny) than I paid for the last 12 months. There’s a big notice in the email saying not to bother calling them to negotiate as that’s their first and final offer. The 50% increase is clearly an...

I live nearby. Loads to see and do - round the Great Orme is a nice walk. Some stunning views over towards Anglesey and up towards the straits. Or a walk to the little Orme and up it is also good fun. Alternatively, a walk from west shore to Conwy (I believe there’s some kind of coastal path -...

It’s unlikely the Wi-Fi and the Ethernet cards are both fucked, imo. It’s most probably a software or OS issue, or even malware - especially if all other devices connect to your router and work fine. How are you measuring speed/performance?

If that doesn’t work for any reason, then a cheap USB Wi-Fi dongle is another cost effective option without replacing the whole machine:

From your post I’m not clear what the problem is. Are you saying your internet is slow, but only on your main PC? Every other device you have connects and works fine. Is that right? If so, what constitutes slow - buffering videos on pornhub? Blue moon taking ages to load? (Don’t go to PC...

I had that exact machine at work and at home. The one in work we’ve hammered for 5+ years with no issues. The one at home I used for about two years with no bother, but the mrs wanted more milk-based drinks (and I hated messing about with the steamer thing on the Delonghi machine), so recently...

We had a £1100 gas and electric bill for March, which made me really look into this shit. We have a large house so I’ve never really quibbled before, but fuck it, enough was enough. What with all other bills going up too. It turns out despite us giving the energy company readings each month...

Where did you hear or read this? All the info I can see online states full vaccination is still mandatory for entry to the USA, and it’ll be reviewed again around 11th May?
