    Diet ideas - what actually works?

    You seem to be answering your own questions here! Less carbs doesn't mean none at all. Protein from beans, pulses, mycoproteins and tofu, if you are vegetarian. Walking if you cannot run and jump. The weight loss is the motivation. Many cannot afford a coach, so doing it with a partner, or just...

    Diet ideas - what actually works?

    Eating less and moving more is really the only true way. Carbohydrate reduction and moving into protein and vegetables will provide the quickest and most sustainable route. I have the knowledge but cakes and chocolate always creep in!

    The Coffee Thread

    Thank you. I have the same steam wand. I suspect my issue is not the same, at least in part. Not only does the steam wand drip, but if I open the steam valve, and activate water through the group head, water comes out of the steam as if it too has been activated. My thoughts are that I may have...

    The Coffee Thread

    My Gaggia Classic is now leaking from the steam wand. If I activate the group head, water continues to come from the wand. If I flick between the steam and group head (with the wand valve open) water comes from both. Flow from the group head is strong, as is flow from the wand. If I close the...

    Recommended movies etc on Netflix/Amazon Prime III

    I adore this thread - so much of what I have truly enjoyed watching is directly from recommendations here.

    Does connecting a streamer to Ethernet make much difference compared to wifi?

    Nothing is more certain than audiophiles creating problems where there are none, and hifi manufacturers creating expensive solutions to those non-existent problems. If you cannot measure it, that's because you should only use your ears. If you cannot hear it, your system cannot be resolving...

    All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

    I enjoyed yesterday's game. I am pleased with the result because I consider Liverpool to be a bigger threat to my team than any other side, bar Arsenal. As for Manchester United, the unwillingness of several players to put a defensive shift in will be their undoing, and possibly their manager's...

    Well played to Liverpool who were better than us today. Well played to the ref who dealt with things firmly and fairly.

    Indeed. I think Arsenal are the form side and would be worthy champions.

    I don't like the language used either. Fair point.

    Audio Technica OC9 or AT33?

    Having had both, my preference is for the OC9ii, which is considered the best of the OC9 range. I did see an article once which explained why it is actually physically and sonically superior to the iii, but I have no idea where.

    All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

    That is the point: Leicester's trophies mean more to Leicester's fans. Your trophies mean more to you, and be assured that every trophy we have won is beyond my wildest dreams, even now. It also is not just Bob - you raised the tragedy chanting, he raised the cult, I brought criticism of...

    All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

    And this is why comments from footballers matter. In a very short time we have gone from a footballer talking about trophies meaning more to accusations of cultism, bus attacks, and tragedy chanting. That's on a hifi forum, not in a stadium or on the streets with ale fueled rage and toxic...

    Waffling, or calling out a stupid act?

    All purpose football thread 2023/24 Season

    It's a football thread on a forum, and a player has been a knob. If I want to comment on world issues, I'll choose a non-football thread. It isn't whining to call someone a plonker, it's recognising that someone's a dick, and he has been one, and it's pretty much the common judgement, just not...
