Not sure if it's the same over there but it seems like the days of 100% cotton sport socks are gone. Everything has some polyster/elastane/nylon/someothermaterialthat'sreallyjustanotherformofplastic blend

Most have elastane but you can get only cotton.

I've almost exclusively worn Calvin klein since I was about 16, in the past couple of years I've noticed a dramatic reduction in quality (ever since they removed labels and now print the label information directly onto the boxers) and they're becoming holy way quicker so I need to change.

I've looked at OddBalls but I don't think their quality is much superior.

We need a boxers thread!

It is indeed the correct state of affairs, as endorsed by the Governator.

Where? I've been looking at the Nike/Adidas standard stuff I've always used and they only have the blends now. Had I known this back in 201...5? I'd have stocked up!

Merino wool blend socks. Like Bridgedale or Danish Endurance.

All other socks are utterly shite in comparison.

I love my Rayon bamboo socks.

Comfy and less smelly than cotton socks. But wool is less smelly still, warm even when wet, cool in the summer.

Over the last decade or so I've slowly become a wool evangelist. It's a miracle material and criminal that we make clothes out of oil and plastics.

Let me guess you are kitting out the garden for a flock of sheep to save on buying wool clothing, of course I do not expect you to take up knitting, will refer that to Mrs Scouse.

SWR announces train timetable changes due to hot weather

Dry soil means some railway track has been disturbed and trains need to travel at a slower speed.

I have absolutely no idea what my socks were made from, but as they're mostly ankle socks from Next I doubt it's anything posh. They generally perform more than adequately as socks however.

Just a shame they are such a pain in the arse to get to stay on a clothes horse when you want to dry them.

I get whatever they are made from, from Tesco, they last about a year, until they mostly go missing, then I buy more.

Proper wool for camping/walking though.

Meanwhile somewhere in your house there's a cat created fire hazard

Go to test my Cat6a which goes from my shed, across a barn, and into my house. Got two of them. They're buried now that the extension went in.

Neither of them are working

Also, it takes me 9 more seconds to find a site if I want a crafty tug than it used to

It must be so annoying that it now takes longer to find a site than it takes to crack one off

Were they pre-made or you terminated them?

If pre-made = you dozy cunt you didn't check them before laying them underground
If self terminated = you dozy cunt you didn't check them before laying them underground

Dozy cunt for not using conduit when laying cables underground.

How dumb do you think I am @Deebs?

They've worked previously (pre-renovations) and I doubled up, just in case one got fucked. Builder'd been a bit rough with them in the last 18 months. They're in conduit under the foundations, terminated with Cat6a keystones. Took one apart, re-did it. Working. Job jobbed.

Finally got the boiler working today. Underfloor heating is on. It's awesome.

Now I just need my oak doors to dry out. They've expanded by about 3mm because of the moisture in the house (hence the underfloor being on - not just a test, but trying to get some heat into the walls and drive the moisture away). One of them is a proper banana. They've only been in a few weeks

Hey ho.

Do I really have to answer the first question?

I just laid 4 x CAT6A and 2 x MM fibre from the house to the garage, in conduit but what a fucking cunt getting the cables pulled through even with cable rods. Obviously do not need them all but you never know and I cannot be arsed to do all that shit again especially now that the conduit is not in a straight line.
