"Why hasn't Japan banned child porn comics?" article on the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30698640

I laugh when IW has to put a 'nothing weird' disclaimer on his links

Seen this article about Japanese child porn?

That looks like a vaguely tasty breakfast btw.

Can you share where from?

A HiFi discount store, not sure if that's a competitor?

Makes a beautiful cup of coffee. I wish I'd bought it last year instead of the £80+ Tassimo machine.

Now I just need a coffee bean grinder and some quality beans.

Get one of these if you want a cheap and very decent burr hand grinder. A guy I know runs a small coffee shop and basically says if you can't afford a £400+ grinder, get the Hario Mini Mill. :cool:

Whilst I like my Aeropress, I do find it annoying so also have one of these which I prefer I think, although you have to buy filters more often.

Thanks for those suggestions. I'm interested in the mill you linked to although I've also got my eye on a Krups electric grinder that seems to get great reviews.

The aeropress will suit my needs for a while. I don't want to spend too much money, especially as I can only drink two cups of coffee per day if I want to avoid turning in to a jittery wreck.

Turn thermostat down on other radiators, turn the one in that room up. Therefore you aren't heating the whole house and gas central heating is much more energy efficient than an electric radiator.

A valid suggestion, although the thermostatic valves on my radiators are rickety and a PITA to turn off, and I have 10+ radiators to turn off and then subsequently back on again every day when the missus leaves the house and then returns home. To say it's a ball ache is an understatement. This heater is 1.5kw and oil-filled, won't cost much in electricity to run in comparison to the pain involved in turning valves on 20 radiators every day five days a week.

Plan B. Fit a log burning stove. Toasty.

I think my leccy heater might be cheaper!

I did look into thermostatic valves that you can control wirelessly, but they're not cheap.

Is that burr or blade? Ideally you want ceramic burr and to get a decent one isn't cheap which is why I hand mill. Does take time and effort to do though each time you want a coffee. I always weigh out the beans and water too, such a snob.

I only tend to have one a day so either method is fine. I did side by side test the Aeropress vs the Clever Dripper and found them to be mostly the same in terms of taste although the Aeropress could mute some of the finer flavours of the various beans I get. Plus the Aeropress (due to the way it works) leaves you with a slightly cloudy brew and some sediment which the Clever Dripper doesn't.
Minor differences really to be honest, both great devices and I bought the dripper as I'd seen it in use at various local independants and felt like trying it at home and was already ordering from coffee hit anyway.

I can take her skirt off if you wanna see.

Please consult a psychiatrist.

I'm sat here laughing so hard right now. This thread is just pure gold.

Thank you IronWarrior.

Just researching for pure science, does she actually have a poopdeck? I don't want you to be doing the barbie/action man thing over there.

It was time to replace teh Boogiebug XL Surface I got from OcUK many years ago. Those things are great but the real gear grinder is that they come rolled the WRONG direction so you spend weeks on end with books sat on each side to get the ends flat.

Not this, this comes rolled properly :cool:

hahaha I remember trying to unroll my boogie

What mouse is that mrk?

mrk · 7 Jan 2015 at 15:10

It is the Logitech G602. I use 1 AA battery in there at a time to reduce weight, that gets me up to 8 weeks use in performance mode, then just bin the dead battery plonk in another. Really good mouse.
