If the main thing is heavy discount, I'd suggest applying Martin Lewis' rule first.

Martin's Black Friday shopping memo

If you were going to buy it anyway and it is half price, you've saved 50%.

If you weren't going to buy it, but do cos it's half price, you've wasted 100%.

Thanks for the nice cat pics gang, and sorry to hear about Tigg, Woodsmith. I had a cheery Thursday, with a trip to see Emily Chappell. Met up with Trep and TSK there too. And now hoping for a nice weekend with my folks. We travelled over while the kickyball was on, so had a very peaceful journey. O...

Traditional Welsh nomenclature, innit?
Jones The Steam, Dai Station etc.

I'd have thought retching would need support for the other end?

Very smart, nice work.

Got to love how bike fora always come back to n+1.

A nice night out that. 4 years of BAM too. Left the house about 8, nice quiet ride out of town. Headed to one of my favourite haunts, but there were people already there!!! With a campfire going! I sloped off in search of somewhere else, and soon found another flat space underneath some pines. Tarp ...

I'm sat on a rock, drinking a 10% stout called Lolcata. Somewhere in the woods behind me is my tarp and bag. I really like sit mats

I'd suggest HRM and a free app on your laptop or smart phone. If budget allows, a cadence monitor would be nice too. I think I got the Wahoo app working ok from my phone, along with Bluetooth HRM and cadence sensors from Halfords. The Wahoo app has a subscription model which lets you follow preset w...

I think they may be anchor points for straps or an elasticated net or summat.

They call it a dark ruby mild, 5.7%. I imagine it's what a Belgian Dubbel brewer would come up with if you asked them to brew a mild. Tis yum.

Moving on to summat darker, "We Celebrate" a Left Handed Giant collaboration with Newbarns Brewery to celebrate LHG's 7th birthday. https://assets.untappd.com/photos/2022_10_23/1b8c1dccf23bc5e442a8665f4f34cc63_640x640.jpg Currently doing an excellent job of keeping my mind off the binfire ...

I seem to be having a pale evening.

Nice that Jeff, and good to see you're improving post-plague.

Ahem. You can get rad on a cargo bike too:

Whisky in titanium hip flasks seems to have an acceptable strength/weight ratio to satisfy TLS criteria

I find a 250ml plastic bottle (Co-Op spring water IIRC) makes for an even better whisky/weight ratio.

Well, that all worked out very nicely. What started out as a slightly-pressed-for-time school-night special turned into a very relaxing night in the woods, with a bonus Diwali fireworks display across the city as I sipped on my beer. I woke with the gentle onset of daybreak, and enjoyed a glorious a...

Nice that.
