Yea I’m air fryer free too. And no microwave these days as it was just taking up space and never getting used.

Maybe start Hutch on Friday? Been on the bench for last few games but, iirc, not been used.

I also subscribe to Triggers 5+ year adoption delay with new tech. If you wait 5 years or more you'll get tech that's usually much improved on the current version and also much cheaper to buy. My wife has been nagging me to upgrade our clothes mangle for years.

Yes CW I’ve been thinking it’s Thursday all day doh.

Wigan v Orient is tomorrow I believe

3- 0 defeat Friday, 1-1 draw Monday

AAH was just on Talksport talking about scoring the first goal for Iraq in their 2-1 WC play off win v Bolivia. You can all congratulate him on Monday and wish him well at Wembley for the following week for Luton. He said that he has only played 400 minutes this season. so he should be fresh for the WC then, where they play France, Senegal and Norway.

Could drop a place tonight if Orient win or draw at Wigan

Usually take a look at the form table on a Thursday but as the next game is on Friday I’ve just taken a look. We’re gonna get stuffed. Lincoln are top of the form table (to our 17th) and top of the home table (we’re 15th in the away table). They’ve scored a massive 18 goals in their last 6 home games and conceded just 2 in the process.if they watched our game at Stockport they’ll know to let us have the ball and then hit us on the turnover. (That’s not a criticism of how we play or our team it’s just the way things are at the moment.)

At my age i woulld never recover the installation costs of a heat pump.I however have solar panels although the feed in tarriff has been reduced over the past few yrs. Definately buy a battery if you have solar panels, best on a south facing roof.

MTD email seem to come every few weeks,lucky i will soon be working for the national poo museum:-)

Club comms not up to speed today. I've only just had my reminder that the ST early-bird window closes tomorrow. HMRC smashed them on timing with their Making Tax Digital reminder!

I live in a very old place so decent insulation is not possible. It’s quite small though with big chunky radiators and low ceilings so I’m hoping if I can sort out the main draughty areas then it should work out ok.

As OI mentioned good insulation is much more important than your energy source.

Air source heat pump can be very economical if you have a reasonably large house battery that you can charge overnight with cheap rate electric. We're now paying 5.2p/kWh between 23:30 and 05:30 which is less than we pay for gas, so with a 3:1 efficency ratio of an ASHP it works out well under 2p/kWh of heating/hot water. I'd seriously consider installoing one, but not sure if we may move soon(ish)

Sounds apocryphal to me, but hey…

I imagine stores can only ask pavement stalls to move unless they are restricting access to the store or are actually on land owned by the store. There are many regulations about charity stalls but they are governed by the local council rather than individual stores. Weirdly one thing you must not do is shake a cash collecting bucket!

My wife knows someone who has built a wood framed house from scratch with very well insulated wall panels and a heat pump is great for that but part of the house design. It will depend enormously on the individual properties.

Today M&S and Card Factory in Sutton told collectors for a Veterans Homeless charity to move from outside their store as the Union Flag on their display might offend people!

Hopefully Donald will tell the king that heat pumps are rubbish and climate change is fake and the green party aren't green anymore:-)

Guy Martin did a good show called House without Bills earlier this year. When they put in a heat pump they said you needed a real expert to spend time calibrating the system after it has been installed. Sounds like the people who say they are useless haven't had this done.

Happy Easter whatever day that is for all those who like saying they’re fans of the church and stuff, this sums things up quite well I reckon…. [Link]
