Vacuum bags for wife's xmas present.

Mars mouse for me and pair of Koss Pro Classics - was surprised at how flimsy they look but sound OK

Bought this today after my last clock inexplicably stopped working.

Current kettle had developed a leak.

So you bought a £90 kettle to replace it?

Madness.

Don't forget the natural purity of glass...

Seriously though, ninety quid for a kettle? Even with a soft open lid and the natural purity of glass.

What does that even mean? "natural purity of glass"? Who goes shopping for a kettle and thinks "wow, we'll get this one, it has the natural purity of glass".

I'd never pay it, but having had a look at the same kettle and picking it up, you can see why it costs more. Sadly the quality of it doesn't translate into a better brew.

Hades · 3 Dec 2016 at 16:05

That kettle will look awful in a year with all the scale that you'll be able to see through the natural purity of glass.

Love that the footy is on too :cool:

I notice the Heston Blumenthal kettle includes "Heston's tips and techniques"

.....for boiling water in a kettle?

:confused:

But the board is very poorly positioned. The wife will get in the way of the footy. I think he should tell her to move it when she's finished making the dinner.

That Sage kettle isn't £90, it's just over £60

Well it means the glass will be less pure than we first thought.

Well water boiled in a plastic container will leech chemicals, and impart weird flavours into the water. You've probably noticed it if you've ever used a new kettle.

However you don't need to spend £90, this here is a lot more reasonable £30.

oh yeah you can absolutely do it, it just very much limits, you cant just go i'll stop where ever i give up for the day. never found issue with tent there is always somewhere within several hundred meters even half way up mountains there's nearly always reasonably flat areas. They are more comfortable especially for the weight.

Yeah. There is a bit more planning required if you're going to an area which isn't predominantly forested. A bit more time on google maps and it's all good. I've just become accustomed to that part of going away I suppose. The majority of the time I go out these days is specifically to use the hammock so I'm mostly heading somewhere that I know will take a few hammocks. In that sense it's not quite as free as tent camping in barren areas of the country but there's so much woodland about an hour or so North that I've never had an issue.
