    [Music] Heater for conservatory

    I used to use a Dimplex M Series heater in my conservatory which doubles as my home office - a small but powerful heater for about £80 with temperature control. Last year we had the old plastic roof replaced with a lightweight Ultraframe roof. Through the summer it stopped the room getting...

    [Food] Restaurant 2024 thread

    Mrs DCH and I had a nice pizza in Fatto A Mano at the weekend. Their dough is always good and not too skimpy on the toppings like some places. I also had a visit to Flint House last week with some work colleagues. Although they say it is small plates, I see it more as picking your main and...

    [Misc] Toy collecting

    Have you got the C2550 Subaru Impreza WRC "the Sun" No 131? I have one boxed that I found a while ago when moving house. Can't remember why I have it as I have never owned a Scalextric set.

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Disappointing that they haven't started the live stream so we can watch the groundstaff working on the puddles or the umpires staring at their light meters.

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    That link includes the line "Greigs Care, located by the main entrance will be serving breakfast from 930am" I'm assuming they mean cafe but given the age of most of the members, maybe not.

    [Technology] Broadband provider

    I've found that the Community pages on the help section at Virgin Media is better than the online chat. You often (but not always) end up getting a message from one of the support people who then sort out issues faster than the online chat service.

    [Misc] Salespeople in shops

    I was in a shop in Toronto and while Mrs DCH was looking around I stood near the door as the heater was there and it was below zero outside. After a few minutes of standing there looking bored, a really friendly assistant came up and asked if I was okay and if there was anything she could help...

    [Travel] Never ending roadworks

    Looking at the one network website, it is only showing lane closures between West Hove and Southwick.

    [Misc] Salespeople in shops

    Many years ago I bought a nice blue checked shirt. First time I wore it, I popped into Tesco to grab a sandwich and people kept stopping me to ask where things were in the store. It was only when I got to the checkout I realised my shirt was almost identical to the ones worn by the staff...

    [Misc] Mattresses.

    Hypnos for me, used by many of the top hotels and also many of the major chain hotels. We’ve had our current one for many years and still just as comfortable as it was when we got it. It is a pillow top mattress (alpaca if I remember correctly) so while not cheap, definitely a good long term...

    [Other Sport] Sky Sport - Fight Night

    Just turned over to watch this. Clarke seems to be making a strange noise whenever he throws a punch, a bit like those tennis players who grunt when they hit a shot.

    [Drinking] I’ve gone off Alcohol

    I find this an issue in the mainstream pubs, especially as I try to avoid the diet drinks with Aspartame as it acts as a diuretic in my body. I often go for mixers with ice, the fever tree spiced orange ginger ale is good. The micro pubs / craft pubs usually have a better selection of soft...

    [Drinking] I’ve gone off Alcohol

    Same with me nearly five years ago. I found I wasn’t enjoying alcohol and also that I found the next day harder if I had a few (not even rat arsed). I didn’t mean to stop altogether but found that I wasn’t missing it so haven’t started again. I don’t drink the low or no alcohol stuff - if I...

    [Other Sport] Official NFL Thread 2023/2024

    Three year deal with 'some' guaranteed money. Even if that is very low for the NFL, still probably a lot more than he would be earning if he was still egg chasing

    [Food] How long ago was it….

    Pretty sure there was someone still selling seafood in Chapmans in the early 90s - @Lenny Rider can probably confirm that.
