@AvonandsomerRob Gaggia Classic - easily modded, bombproof and repairable.

Got a Tassimo from Amazon for £30 with a load of free pods and it’s actually pretty good.

@TechWorldInnov8 @LoftusSteve I completely agree with this and I have an ASHP as well. Had an A2A AC heat pump fitted to the bedroom and it’s been amazing.

@LeilaniDowding Don’t think I can grow those in my greenhouse either 😕

[Phykell @phykell]

@LeilaniDowding Have to be careful giving this kind of thing to pets. Peas are fine of course, but why are they "seasoning" fresh beef mince?

Some of the potential ingredients are harmful to cats and dogs including the salt (obviously) but also sodium metabisulphate.

So stick to 100% beef.

@LoftusSteve Mine is costing me <£5 a day for a large 18th century farmhouse. Worse in the winter obviously but overall, I’m happy with it and it should be even better once I have solar. COP is 4.29.

This Halloween I'm raising money for @FelineFriendsUK & @AllDogsMatter! The Pickle trilogy is still available from Amazon, with all profits going to sad cats and dogs. ❤️😺🐶 #PicklePawtobiography #PickleDiary #PickleNewHouse

🚨 Do NOT piss on me and tell me it’s raining!

I refuse to listen to ideology from globalists who supported this bollocks. You want to know why our fishing fleet is on its knees??? I’ll tell you….. (yes I’m furious)

▪️ 52% of our registered fishing vessels have gone since 1994. Decades of quota restrictions and vessel decommissioning has destroyed the fleet.

▪️ Extended EU fishing access to British waters until 2038.

▪️ Allowed foreign industrial SUPERTRAWLERS to operate legally in British marine protected areas. Greenpeace documented 26 fishing across 44 protected areas over 5 years. (Labour say there is no definition of a super trawler so they can’t do anything)

▪️ Kept fishing quotas tied to historical allocations. Around 87% of England’s 2026 quota was distributed through this system.

▪️ Agreed to a 44% CUT in North Sea cod quota for 2026 amid serious concerns about depleted fish stocks.

▪️ Imposed additional post-Brexit export paperwork, health certification and border checks on our seafood exporters.

▪️ Introduced further fishing-ground restrictions, with proposals affecting another 41 English marine protected areas.

▪️ Watched fishing diesel prices DOUBLE since March, leaving some British boats unable to cover the cost of going to sea.

▪️ Provided no equivalent emergency fuel-price grants to those offered by France, despite repeated industry appeals.

▪️ Imported almost 190,000 TONNES of seafood from CHINA in 2025, much of it whitefish.

We are an ISLAND NATION! We have our own seas, our own fish and our own fishermen (who we treat like remedials)

Our own policies have helped shrink our fleet, and don’t even talk to me about food security!

This is what happens when you put everyone else first before your own country. We are not here to fund all humanity … we are Britain!

(Actually furious)

@sarah_go_green Great price as well - I’ve just had the 3kW version delivered and just in time for the storm 😎

@PeterMcCormack This country is beyond help.

The right has been infiltrated by far-right (the original ones) on one side, and wets on the other, with leaders on each side failing on basic gatekeeping and governance.

@A1an_M First thing to do is get rid of your ISP's broadband/wireless router.

Advantages of your own router/firewall include:
1. Guest wireless/LAN networks
2. Isolating IoT devices
3. Granular control & VLANs
4. Enforced VPN
5. Whitelisting/blacklisting regions/IP ranges, etc.
Etc.

@MrMark_James @jemmm85517813 It's a large 18th century farmhouse, vaulted ceilings & a wide, narrow layout - inefficient shape for heating/insulation.

Total heating cost yesterday was <£5, less than a couple of bags of logs, and it's 21 degrees C throughout. Lots more expensive in the winter though 🙁

@KingBobIIV The soup isn't the problem, it's the 4 slices of thickly buttered bread 😺

@mikeparry8 Could stretch out your food by fasting as long as you have water and electrolytes.

@robjonesreports There’s a storm coming.

Two, actually.

@JohnCleese Difficult to know who to feel more sorry for.

[Phykell @phykell]

@RupertLowe10 Well said.

Looks like there might still be hope for our politicians on the right to come together and end the scourge of Labour's cynical deconstruction of small-c capitalism.
