@zzoommfullfibre internet down in Henley-On-Thames RG9 area. Any idea when it will be back up?

@ArgosHelpers hi. I just bought and put up a blind - order 6527741534. Then I notice that the blind mesh is damaged. See picture. Do I need to take the blind down and take into a store if I want it fixed?

@PSBmortgages @RishiSunak I agree this would be the best way to motivate / force people to downsize who are staying in large, unsuitable (for them) properties. But wouldn't it be a little unfair on people who have only recently paid a very large SDLT?

@RishiSunak Do you know what amalgamate means?! You pay council tax every month for the rest of your life, this brings them both together based on the value of you house and 75% of households will pay less per month than they currently pay yet still brings the same amount of tax in.

At #Budget2021 we announced the £500,000 stamp duty holiday would be extended from March to June. To smooth the transition back to normal, the nil rate band will now be £250,000, double its standard level, until the end of September. gov.uk/guidance/stamp…

@plusnet @plusnethelp I’ve sent a DM but no response. Our internet is intermittently poor

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong I didn’t see this. What rim is that? I have a brand new unused mavic open pro if you want it? I was going to chuck it!

Every other spoke hole is like this. Is it game over for the rim?

@EvansAvoid @EvansCycles 😅 unfortunately i have no choice - my C2WS has to be via them.

@Pedro_harrison @EvansCycles Order from a different supplier mate.

@EvansCycles how do I order a bike without going into a store? Phone lines never get answered....

@jim_c_1985 I lost the ability to dictate exactly when I go for a ride years ago. Sometimes it’s midday heat or nothing, and I’ll fucking whinge about it. Only to myself though. And now you.

Why do people go riding / running in the midday heat and then cover their strava and social media with whingeing about how hot it was??

@Swanston I’m printing them currently too 👍

If you have 3D printer please sign up and get printing !! Today’s production ...

@DannyBuckler Spent too long trying to ‘get’ this joke. Thank goodness for twitter.

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong Yes! Exactly! That’s basically the only bit that has stayed in my memory, and it really grates.

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong It was t all bad. I enjoyed the novelty stereoscopic eyeglass packaging. Although even that made it difficult to store in a cd rack.

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong It needs some tweaking really. I don’t know what I was thinking with that Aenima-Lateralus gap. Also, it needs to extend into the -Y axis for 10000days.

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong On reflection, I reckon 11 is too high on my Y-axis. Lateralus is probably 11.

@rich_thyer @cyclingalong I took the liberty of drawing a graph on a blackboard to explain my position.

@apexrunningco hi Michael - I’m interested in the UTS100 but note that there is an entry criteria. I have mainly done Triathlon / Timetrial - would this be taken into consideration? Cheers - Pete

@DSW4748 Not the first person to send me this today @DSW4748 😂😬

@ryandaviesphoto @jim_c_1985 Realistically though, this is like getting in to a conversation about hifi. A lot of it is theoretical and I’m not sure is really ever translated into the final user experience.

@jim_c_1985 @Pedro_harrison Sage has big steps so is easier to adjust between cafetière & espresso. MC2 is stepless, so can dial in espresso much better. Impossible to switch between brew methods tho. Pete’s £200 eBay job likely better than both! No to doser - just wastes coffee.

Coffee people of Twitter, help. Suggestions for a decent espresso machine, under £250ish. Must be relatively small and easy to maintain. No Nespresso-style coffee pod nonsense. I presume to get a built-in grinder is mega-bucks? #ukcoffee #CoffeeLover #coffeesnob

@jim_c_1985 @ryandaviesphoto Re the doser / auto - whatever one you get, it’s worth getting a small set of scales measuring ~0.1g so you can get the exact amount of coffee right every time. This isn’t pedantic - i find it’s a huge source of variability of results

@ryandaviesphoto @Pedro_harrison Oh, and would you say the Doser or Auto MC2 is better? I want something that chucks the right amount of coffee direct into the basket. As my brain doesn't function before a coffee i need simplicity! 😆

@jim_c_1985 @ryandaviesphoto Personally I would look for a flat burr grinder, but one with a big diameter disc and low rpm. This is an interesting read though; homegrounds.co/flat-vs-conica… I bought my grinder second hand, but basically new, for £200.
