My wife bought one of them for her dad, wasn't sure what it was at first when he unwrapped it

The moustache prevents it from going in too deep.

Congratulations. Looks like a lovely house.

IIRC you're a medic? Are you still in training/got a training post? I remember when we were looking for our first home and generally how much of a ball ache it was with trying to get training posts together and locally!

Good point - we are applying for training posts this year. I'm applying for GP in one of the least competitive areas so should be fine, else I have a NTG at the most wonderful job i'd be happy to continue for another year. The missus is applying for radiology & GP, but has almost maximum application points and will get a job no problem.
We have accepted the regional travel will be required, but shouldn't be too much of a headache

Technically purchased last Saturday. But it arrived today.

That is a nice piano, but out of interest, why not a second-hand grand? You can get some pretty decent grands for £12k...

Probably space, those pianos are nice and compact.

Space, and that piano probably won’t need as much maintenance.

It'll most definitely be space. When my Great Aunt died she left me her baby grand, and despite the name that thing was rather ******* sizeable. There was no way that it was going to go in my mid-terraced house. Not even the PG Chimps would've got that in the place.

I know but ultimately space. Some time down the line when I (hopefully) have a larger house I’ll get one.

Not tried yet, but they look interesting. Made from upcycled cocopops, cornflakes and rice krispies...

Fair enough. One of the requirements for my next house is space for a grand piano

Got a second pair of running shoes. I like that ASICS feel a little more supportive, but still very comfortable and cushioned.

These ones (Gel-Nimbus 20 Lite-Show) change colour in the light! I feel 12 again!

Good to see a fellow Stryd'r!

You better be able to play music to a high level for that amount lol

I don't know about 'to a high level'. But here's a piece I'm learning at the moment on my new piano

'Upcycled' translated as the factory floor sweepings

Nope, Silver ncase m1.

Interesting. I would not have bothered going custom in the NCASE when a 240mm AIO suffices and the GPU can be cooled with an Accelero if needed.

Not sure if you've had time to test yet.

If so what are your thoughts on it ?

Tempted to get the pump block standalone and use my own rads
