    My man cave is fitted with a JBL Boombox 2 and that seems to do just fine, deep bass fills the place and hardly any distortion when the volume goes up…can be linked with other JBL stuff as well which is handy .:yawn:

    No point with 7 months of winter ❄️, I think we can all agree that if we get a full week of sun in the U.K. it becomes a heatwave, hosepipe ban, everyone fighting over fans at B&Q. 

    Last proper Heatwave in the UK was 1976 , I remember it well …twer bloody boiling 🥵

    Been to the Mint Room and wasn’t overly impressed. They were very pretentious I thought.

    Ah ok, not actually been myself but Mrs Cider went with some friends and raved on about it , I’ll have to try it.

    Chatting with my lad midweek he and his partner when to the Nutmeg an Indian restaurant in Clifton Village. He said it was excellent with a great variety of set menu’s to select from.

    We’re thinking of going there ourselves - has anyone else been there?

    Not heard of this one but will check it out , The Mint Room is lovely in Clifton and Urban Tandoor at the top of Whiteladies is superb as well .

    Out of interest, why don’t you use Bristol? 

    The reason might be obvious (maybe you live in Hounslow!) or just be about where you fly to. 

    Yes, it’s destination based . I found Bristol Airport much different and vastly improved compared to the last time we flew from there which was about 7 years ago, plus there’s still work ongoing.

    Use sky scanner and, if you are driving to an airport, take a look at 6-7 different airports.  If you live in Bristol you are less than 3 hours from Cardiff, Exeter, Southampton, Birmingham, Heathrow and East Midlands.  This year I am flying to Majorca from Exeter and for four people it was £700 cheaper than flying from Bristol 

    We usually use Heathrow and hardly ever use Bristol but I will look into flights from Birmingham in future, roughly the same distance but not as busy .

    A few weeks back I flew to Edinburgh for a meeting, had the meeting, had a few beers in Edinburgh and got the last flight back, planes on time, cheaper and so much quicker than the train, I really wouldn’t have fancied the return trip on a train in the same day.

    That’s the main advantage, flight was 50 minutes compared to over 6 hours on the train . Ok if you have time ,and we did .

    Flew to Edinburgh a couple of days ago with EasyJet….started ok and got worse …40 minute delay taking off from Bristol and then sat on the tarmac at Edinburgh Airport for 45 minutes after only a 50 minute flight waiting for ground staff to attend (involved one person doing a lot of pointing) . Not the airlines fault in all fairness but kind of ruined it a bit . 
    Add all the time together and cost and you can do it by train . 
    No ID was asked for , only had hand luggage as they want over a million pounds for a normal sized case and then you have to wait about 6 months to get it back from the baggage reclaim . 
    All a big faff …not the fault of EJ though.
