Love Earth Sea Sky. Best raincoats on the planet. rest of the range is pretty nice too

Portishead do this so well

Oh no, won’t someone think of all those critical Temu shipments! Anyway…

(Seriously, there must be a lot of irreplaceable stuff that goes through the post - this is actually a fairly big deal and I’m sure there will be people quite badly affected. Horrible to think about actually)

What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Yes, I’d considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I’ll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you’ve suggest too. But at this point it’s looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

I’ve tried. We’re rural and tradies just don’t want to know.

Yes, there’s another pump back in the main line from the boiler.

With the bypass valve closed, the hot water doesn’t seem to circulate at all - either down the bypass or through the loops.

And, the thermostat on the circulating pump there switches it off below whatever temp you set. Once switched off, then the top rail starts to heat (implying that got water is now going into the loops). So strange , I just can’t get my head around how it’s ‘supposed’ to work, let alone if it’s actually working properly.

I sang semi-professionally for quite a few years. Used to use in-ear monitors and they do a similar thing - you do get used to it pretty quickly, or at least it becomes less annoying!
