I was under the impression that draining can be a bit of a ball ache, especially with a tank in the loft. I also read that 8mm microbore can easily get blocked up, so changing one valve after draining could leave other pipes blocked. Anyway, I bought some bungs and all the kit I need so I'll be doing it with a vacuum this weekend. Yes, I'll set up a GoPro so that we can have a laugh if the vacuum doesn't hold 😂

I did consider that, but if something goes tits up, I'm in trouble (or at least stuck in an endless cycle of pipe freezing until someone can come and save me)

Conflicting information on the internet is so frustrating. I want to change a radiator valve without draining the system, there's a billion different opinions on it. If there wasn't a potential to completely flood my house I'd just go for it, but I don't want to risk it. I'm sure it's plumbers spreading false information so that we still need them 😂

It's in the job description. Look at Alexander, he didn't even use his real name when he was in power (see also: 'Tommy Robinson'). Sacked from almost every job he's had for being useless or a compulsive liar, yet he still 'ran' the country. Fined loads of people £10k a piece over lockdown rule breaches, whilst running his own coke-fuelled parties. Getting smashed with his colleagues whilst we weren't allowed to go to our families funerals. They're all self serving twats, but Trump is certainly one of the worst ones (aside from actual dictators that massacre their own people).

I don't see it as a bad thing that he can open dialogue with him, but if he does cut off all supplies to Ukraine, he's effectively handing it to Russia. If Russia do take Ukraine, where do they go for next? Hopefully he can negotiate some sort of deal and put it to an end, but time will tell I guess.

He wants to turn off the tap for Ukraine and he's a bit pally with Putin, so I can guess where it might end up.

Why? I get the feeling he might be good for America, but not so good for the rest of us.

I agree. Trials on road bikes for example - OK, it's very impressive that you can do trials moves on a bike that's horrible to ride, but it doesn't look smooth and doesn't make an enjoyable video imo. I respect the skills, but a big part of decent videos is the riders style and flow, which is almost impossible on a bike that's not suited for the job.

He just needs to quit, he's clearly not well. He should be in care, not running the country.

They should both be in a retirement home really

I've had this for 6 months now, covered 8,600 miles in it. The novelty still hasn't worn off. It looks great, sounds great and is just a blast to throw round corners.

Why does this make you angry?

Eurovision has always been about politics. I can't believe it's still going to be honest.

I got about a minute in... the editing is a bit much for me.
