It is a wonderful space, Trooper, and one which I hope with all my hopes that you and Mrs T will spend many happy years in. You are so lovely that you will both bring warmth and live to that space. It sounds like there are many things to discover in that house. I wonder if you'll ever find out what is in the safe? Do you remember someone posting here about a locked safe once, and someone had the same model and managed to find the set spring code for it to get it open? Those gold bars could pay for the kitchen remodelling

Ah, no, it seems there's a whole sub-reddit for it:

No problem. I'm very jealous of both your lovely new house and the mystery safe it contains.

That's a big old place, Troops. It's going to take ages to add network cables.

Are you going to drive to Bedford station?

It was bloody freezing though, going to need to invest in some jumpers, and 6 miles to the station rather than my intended 3, but fuck it.
A short taxi ride from Bedford though...

Hmm, if it has two ring mains you're going to have trouble.

The bread oven could make a very nice office if you can get into it. I'd be tempted to get an endoscope camera once you are in, and drill a couple of holes for a nose.

I've got an endoscope camera with a light. And some drills!

What time should I get there?

My dining table at the moment.

Does anyone know how to set up MS Outlook 2010 to forward only emails from an external source to another email address?

Had there been a Shadow of the Collosus artwork or two I'd have had to take out a second mortgage, as it stands, it's very pretty but I sharn't be dropping no dollar on it. Er, yo.

I've done what I always do when looking at possible art for my flat: find a few nice looking example and get very excited, then dig a bit further and suddenly find myself drowning in possibilities and unable to decide what to do so getting bored looking and give up.

I'll need something to go on the wall of my dedicated gaming room, apart from the projector screen, of course

Cheers all, i'm sure we could accommodate a few people if you wanted to come visit, or crash over after the BeexBQ etc... It's not quite stumbling distance to Grim... acres, but I can't imagine a taxi would cost a fortune. A few interesting things with the house. The bread oven is completely sealed up, I assume there are dead bodies inside or something. Opening it up would be an option to make the kitchen bigger, but we certainly won't have the cash for that to start with! There is also a safe that comes with the house that is too heavy to move and the current vendors have never opened it as they don't have a key, it was in the house when they bought it 15 years ago. I expect there are gold bars inside, for sure. We are going to be living like savages though for a while. It doesn't have a dishwasher.

It sounds like there are many things to discover in that house. I wonder if you'll ever find out what is in the safe? Do you remember someone posting here about a locked safe once, and someone had the same model and managed to find the set spring code for it to get it open? Those gold bars could pay for the kitchen remodelling

Wasn't there a load of people on Reddit finding locked safes in houses they'd bought and people helping them get into them? It's possible this only happened once and my memory is making it more of a thing than it ever was.

Cook and Becker are a company that do prints of a load of officially licensed artwork from various game companies (as well as independent artists doing their own stuff) and there's some really pretty stuff in their selection. From a quick browse through I see: Dragon Age Inquisition Jak and Daxter Street Fighter Mass Effect Uncharted The Last of Us Okami Battlefield 4 Bioshock Infinite Journey Mirror's Edge Killzone I'm genuinely considering some of the Journey stuff to fill my currently fairly empty living room walls.

They're quite nice. I like the first but it doesn't capture the atmosphere of the setting. The second is really nice but it doesn't have cricket bat guy in it. That fight (with the cricket bat guy) epitomises the game in my mind: the setting on the tilted structure that looked like a Colosseum sinking into the lake, a huge behemoth sleeping on a massive roof; the lonely cricket bat guy, with a cricket bat, smashing your fucking face in. These ones were quite nice too though... http://society6.com/product/shadow-xoj_print#1=45 http://society6.com/product/barba-the-c ... print#1=45 (Cricket Bat guy. Not on a roof. Not smashing your fucking face in.)

Should be OK, i'd expect there to be separate rings for the bakery and the house, but the bakery only has the kitchen and main bedroom, which can both make do with WiFi (might need a booster though), the rest of the house should hopefully be on the same ring.

The main issue is going to be restricted head height. The part of the rear hall that runs alongside the oven is 5'10" to the ceiling. I'm 5'11"... Opening up the oven wouldn't be too tricky, but I expect i'd need to excavate down about a foot to make it a workable space, which wouldn't be cheap.
