It has to be top fermenting yeast to be ale.

We should just define the whole UK by how far it is from London, it's the most important part of your location anyway, especially when they finally get round to moving literally every job there. I'm currently living in Zone 105, or as it used to be called, Edinburgh.

There are still loads of affordable areas in zone 5. £800 a month gets you a one bed flat near East Croydon which is only 20 minutes to Victoria. £450 a month gets you a room in a houseshare in zone 3 Tooting, 30 minutes on the Northern line. In the village I live in Lincolnshire £800 a month would get you a 5 bedroomed house... detached! Also, its Lincolnshire, absolutely beautiful.

The problem there is that the further you get from london the more is enclosed within each zone, so while your 'Zone 105' might have been edinburgh, it could also have been Glasgow, which is only about 5 miles further from london.

Everything's creeping up to Drake's Circus alright. Although the owner of Dance Academy managed to get a whole bunch of racists angry a while back by offering to give the place to a charity so they could make it a mosque, which was hilarious.

Dance Academy is a lovely building, it's a shame to see it falling apart. I was in JFK's the night it got raided and shut down, came outside and there were police everywhere and they seemed to be fighting and/or arresting half the population of Plymouth. As I recall I dragged my mate away from a punchup and we went to the Dragon Inn for sweet & sour chicken balls, happy days. When I visit now we go out exclusively on North Hill or the Barbican.

Borrowing 75% of their value and spending 10% on renovation. Something tells me this woman is mortgaged to the loving hilt and it will go spectacularly tits up come the next financial crisis. I dont care so much for her and her stupidity, but those poor buggers shes got as tenants who will be evicted as she has to flog the properties off.

ronya posted:you try standing up and yelling "I think the government should buy and demolish Victorian properties in central London" Well, the landlady in the article says she's avoiding London because the yields there are too low - her holdings are in Bristol, Bath, and Cardiff. The effects of overloading houses are arguably less bad in London than elsewhere because London at least has reasonable mass transit options that make it viable to do without a car.

I quite liked when my landlord a few years ago had his mortgage house of cards come falling down because we lived rent free for about six months and kicked in the upstairs door and had my mate squat in unoccupied flat above. Also victorian houses for families can comfortably have six adults because they were designed to have servants living in them innit! I recently lived in a house in bristol where there were 8 flats and the landlady had owned the place for about 30 years and the rent was cheap and I liked being in the centre of town. Not all landlords are scum. The house market in bristol is a bit loving nuts at the moment though.

tentish klown posted:Not really, they're just a vague measure of distance to the center of London. Saying zone 1, 2, 3, etc is a much more efficient shorthand than 'it's like 20 miles outside London and takes about an hour to get there' In Cardiff we used to have colour zones that were assigned to parts of the city as a price scale for bus travel. So going from one colour zone to another would cost more than travel in the same colour zone. Then they got rid of that and it's now just a flat price.

The rental market is reasonably stable but to buy is tricky, my business partner sold his million pound home in eight days. Friends of mine were finding that houses in the 160 - 200k bracket were routinely going for 10 - 15k over the asking price this year. Bristol is for sure the best place to live in the country if you like city life. If you are in Montpellier you are near some of the best pubs and clubs in town.

Unfortunately 150-300k bracket (I know this is an enormous 'bracket' but it's basically 'first time flats-houses') is insanely competitive still. Got a couple of uni mates who work part time at estate agents for cash, they're excellent at making me thoroughly depressed about my upcoming hunt for a flat to buy in East London. Still, it's cheaper than renting whatever way you look at it.

Quick question for anyone versed in 2000AD, which are the best stories/arcs to pick up? I've mostly been confined to American or Japanese comics and don't have much basis aside from a 100 page pamphlet from 1999 I just read. Also: anyone know any good books on the British gaming industry? Another topic I'm not versed in (can't even get out of my house in "Hampstead").

Nikolai Dante (completely collected in 11 volumes, vol 1 stands alone) Slaine (start at volume 1) Judge Dredd Case Files (start at volume 3 or 5, backfill from there) Rogue Trooper (classic series, vols 1 and 2 only unless you're a real completist) Button Man (vol 1 only, the others have severely diminishing returns)
