How to Spot Electrical Hazards at Home: A Homeowner’s Guide!

Electrical hazards at home are more common than many homeowners realise. From overloaded circuits to outdated wiring, unseen risks can pose serious safety threats. Whether you’re renovating, moving into an older property, or want to ensure your home is safe, knowing how to identify these hazards early is essential. In this guide, we’ll explore key signs to watch for, why timely inspection matters, and when to call a certified electrician in Bolton to handle the job.

Why Electrical Hazards Are a Hidden Danger?

Electrical issues often go unnoticed until they cause severe damage. Faulty wiring, overloaded outlets, and outdated systems can cause shocks, outages, or fires. In the UK, nearly 20,000 house fires occur annually due to electrical faults. Regular checks by residential electricians in Bolton help identify hazards early and keep your home safe.

1. Flickering or Dimming Lights

Lights that flicker or dim regularly aren’t just an annoyance — they’re often a sign of overloaded circuits or faulty wiring.

It may indicate a poor connection in your electrical system.

Dimming when using appliances (e.g., a kettle or microwave) can indicate a circuit overload.

2. Warm or Discoloured Outlets

If you notice outlets that are warm to the touch or show signs of discolouration, it’s a clear warning sign.

Heat build-up suggests faulty wiring or unsafe load capacity.

This is often linked to improper installation or ageing components in house wiring in Bolton.

3. Burning Smell or Buzzing Sounds

A faint burning smell or buzzing sound from switches or outlets is not typical.

These sounds may be caused by loose wiring or internal arcing.

It’s critical to turn off the affected circuit and contact a local emergency electrician in Bolton immediately.

4. Frequently Tripped Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are designed to protect your home, but frequent tripping means something is wrong.

Constant resets point to overloading or short circuits.

It’s often an early indicator that your home may need a whole-house rewiring in Bolton.

5. Outdated Fuse Boxes and Wiring

If your home still uses a fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit, you may be living with outdated and potentially unsafe electrical systems.

Aluminium or cloth-covered wiring is often unsafe and no longer compliant.

A complete electrical safety test in Bolton or EICR Bolton is highly recommended.

6. Extension Lead Overuse

If your home relies heavily on extension leads due to limited outlets, it can strain your electrical circuits and pose a fire risk.

Overuse of adaptors and multi-plugs can cause sockets to overheat.

It’s often a sign that your home needs updated outlets via local domestic electrical services in Bolton.

7. Electric Shocks When Plugging in Devices

Receiving a mild shock from plugging in appliances, although rare, is a warning sign.

It indicates grounding problems or incorrect wiring.

This situation must be addressed by an affordable electrician in Bolton with proper testing tools.

8. Water and Electrical Fittings nearby

In bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor spaces, water and electricity should never mix.

Ensure all installations are compliant with British Standards and IP-rated.

If unsure, consult a local electrician in Bolton for proper inspection.

9. Unlicensed DIY Electrical Work

While it may be tempting to fix minor issues yourself, incorrect installations can lead to serious accidents.

DIY work often lacks regulatory compliance and increases the risk of fire or electrocution.

Always seek professional help from certified electricians in Bolton.

10. No Record of Recent Electrical Inspections

Homeowners often forget when their last inspection occurred. Regular testing ensures your electrical system is up to code.

An EICR test Bolton report helps identify potential faults early.

Especially for landlords and those in older properties, regular testing is essential.

Bonus Tip: Keep Up with Electrical Regulations

UK electrical safety regulations are subject to change over time. Ensure your home complies with the latest standards, such as the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). If you’re unsure about compliance, seek professional advice. Regular updates through Bolton Electrical Services��ensure your home is protected under legal and safety requirements.

Conclusion

Electrical hazards can be silent yet dangerous. Watch for signs like flickering lights or buzzing sounds. Early detection and regular inspections from electrical repair services in Bolton help prevent serious issues. Unsure about your setup? Schedule a safety check with Electrust Electrical Service and protect your home from hidden risks.

Art Studio 1 Excursion: ArtSpace, AGNSW and MCA - PART 1 (10.5.24)

ArtSpace: 24th Sydney Biennale

Sana Shahmuradova Tanska's oil paintings

Row 1: Counteroffensive (2022), Apocalypse Survivors #7 (from the Tethys Sea Inhabitants series) (2023), Don't Touch My Circles They Don't Belong to You (2023)

Row 2: Fiery Harvest (2023), Tired Sun, Delayed Sowing, Faithful Sheep (2022), Apocalypse Survivors #2 (from Tethys Sea Inhabitants series) (2023)

Row 3: Homesickness. (Stork) (2022), Untitled (2023), Apocalypse Survivors #1 (from the Tethys Sea Inhabitants series) (2023)

Description: "After spending seven years in Canada, Sana Shahmuradova Tanska returned to Ukraine in 2020, to live and paint from Kyiv... Rendered in oil paint, watercolour and pastel, the poetry and pain of intergenerational trauma floats across a war zone on an ocean of colour. Drawing on Ukrainian history and folklore for inspiration, Shahmuradova Tanska's dreamy figures inhabit a molten landscape of collective memory, grief and violence.

In the wake of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - a continuation of a much longer history of occupation, [conflict] and cultural oppression - like a pebble thrown in still water, with each ringed ripple an echo of the one that came before it, Shahmuradova Tanska believes the distance between past and present traumas is collapsing.

In the Those who survived the apocalypse/The inhabitants of the Tethys series, the artist considers the Black Sea as a site of both connection and destruction. Like the limestone that surrounds it, the region's history is constantly undergoing erosion, environmental, colonial and cultural. Much the same way small shells remain, present in limestone dams and caves, so too are stories preserved. Created between shelling attacks, which sent Shahmuradova Tanska to Cold War shelters plastered with old atomic war posters, these paintings stand as a testament to a people who have been pummeled by waves of occupation and invasion but remain as steadfast as the tide."

Trevor Yeung

Row 1: Cuddle Party (Two groups) (2024, Serpulorbis roussaei, vitrine, and found objects)

Row 2: Night Mushroom Colon (Artspace) (2024, night lamps, artificial plants and plug adaptors)

Description: "Trevor Yeung had grown up with many household pets, but during his time living in a college dormitory, where pets were banned, he started caring instead for a carnivorous plant whose needs were both specific and demanding. Through this, Yeung realised how crucial it was to cultivate the precise conditions that sustain life. Currently, he is creatively focused on understanding how social conditions shape emotional engagement. His practice ranges from image-based work to large- scale installations, creating structures that allow him to explore the power dynamics between living beings, including plants, animals, as well as the viewers. Using his installations as cyphers for his own emotional reality, Yeung often reveals the artificiality of perceived natural' connection.

In Cuddle Party (Two groups) Yeung transforms seashells into a shrine for love and relationships. Much how some may fill a vitrine with treasured objects or a small statue of a god, the work is a dedication to romantic fantasies. At once sweet and intimate, it is underwritten by ideas of worship and what the artist describes as "a situation of taking sides".

Nearby Night Mushroom Colon (Artspace) combines electrical converters and nightlights to give off a gentle bioluminescence barely noticeable to a casual passerby. Appearing to grow almost secretly, these mushrooms thrive and reproduce independently through "polyamorous converters and tempting colours", in Yeung's words. Their apparent disinterest in, and distance from, human agency offers a viable alternative to the entanglement of human lives lived large, loudly and interdependently."

AGNSW: "What Does the Jukebox Dream of?"

In order from left to right: Callum Morton's Screen #7: Here and there (2006, wood and acrylic), Fiona Hall's Slash and burn (1997, 36 video boxes, 36 videotape sculptures and wire suspension grid), Paul Chan's Oh why so serious? (2008, 36 video boxes, computer keyboard, plastic and electronics)

David Haines and Joyce Hinterdinge's The Outlands (2011, interactive software program, projector, colour, sound, customised joysticks with twigs and table)

Description: "David Haines and Joyce Hinterding reimagine the 'natural' environment of video games. Experimenting with early gaming software, the pair hack code and alter in-built pre-sets - which assume first-person shooter mode - to conjure a digital universe devoid of weapons and violence. The logic of 'killing and winning' that guides many games is replaced here by an ethos of unstructured, exploratory voyaging. Navigate crystal mazes and cyber seascapes with joysticks made of cherry blossom twigs. Search for the 'cracks' in the game's glitchy architecture to journey between worlds. Don't worry: getting stuck in a digital swamp or freezing mid-teleport is all part of the fun of experiencing this innovative early-software-based artwork."

How to avoid overloading your plug sockets at home

How to avoid overloading your plug sockets at home

If your collection of technology, appliances and gadgets is getting a bit unwieldy in the home, you may also have gathered a collection of extension leads and plugs to try and fit everything in.Get more news about Get more news about Overload Protection Socket,you can vist our website!,you can vist our website!

Shifting appliances around from socket to socket can be tempting, but just because your extension lead can squeeze in four plugs doesn't mean it's safe to do - some appliances require so much power that when grouped together they can cause the plug to overheat, and possibly start a fire.

To help you stay safe, we've listed the most energy-guzzling appliances below to help you wire things up properly in the home. We also interviewed Group Manager Jeremy James, from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue, to find out more about avoiding potentially dangerous situations. How much power do your appliances really need? Surprisingly, some of the smallest appliances in our homes use the most watts of power.

In fact, a kettle actually uses 20 times more watts than a fridge. And an iron uses a staggering 2,800 watts - that's more than 200 times more than is needed to power a mobile phone charger.

As a guide, you should only load one plug socket with a maximum of 3,000 watts. But it might be easier to remember the sorts of products that require more and less around the home. Top fire safety tips To find out more about safety around the home, we spoke to Jeremy James, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service's Group Manager.

How many is too many when plugging devices into an outlet? It really depends on the appliances you're plugging in. Always work out the total wattage of all the devices going into the one socket. If they add up to more than 3,000W then it's not safe - the plug in the socket can overheat and potentially cause a fire. A kettle can max out the socket capacity all on its own, while having your washing machine and dishwasher plugged into an adaptor would mean you're a massive 1,440 watts over the recommended amount.

Appliances like your fridge, radio or lamp are far more suited to sharing sockets. Take note if you're moving plugs around to try to squeeze extra devices in. Are block extensions better or worse than extension leads? We prefer extension leads if used correctly. Block adaptors aren't unsafe but the weight of the plugs and the leads can start to pull the adaptor out of the wall socket leading to resistance heating and increasing the risk of a fire.

Plastic block adaptors that have lots of sockets and sometimes come without a fuse are always best avoided. A surge protector can absorb only so many surges before it stops functioning. Although it's practically impossible to tell exactly when this happens, the longer it's been used for the more at risk you are. If it's absorbed a serious power surge you should always replace it immediately.

Some surge protectors have built-in lights designed to alert you when it needs to be replaced. But you can't fully rely on this - it's not a foolproof system.

Very Good Advice

I heard something on the news the other day that might be an indictment on the current state of the world, or just perhaps one newscaster’s view of what information people need to survive in life. It is appropriate that this blog is named after a Disney song from the movie Alice in Wonderland as I believe either Lewis Carroll was on drugs when it was written or the Disney animators assumed people would be on drugs when watching it. If you doubt this just re-watch the movie with fresh eyes.

The incident that caught my interest was the tsunami warning on the west coast of BC. The newscaster said ‘there is a strong advisory in place for people not to go to the beach and watch the waves come in.’ 

I am going to get myself a drink while you let that sink in.

Okay. I am back. Are people that stupid that they need to be told this? I guess so. In the U.S. apparently there is a warning on boxes of bullets that say ‘not to be ingested’. This seems a waste of time as I would surmise anyone foolish enough to swallow bullets probably cannot read. 

As a public service I have put together some more great pieces of advice in case you are inclined to try any of these.

1) Do not go out in a lightning storm wearing a tin foil hat. If that is all you have to cover your head do not affix the 3 foot antenna to the top of it. If you are still tempted to try this put your phone adaptor up your butt. Might as well charge it while you are out.

2) Do not eat chili when you only have 1-ply TP on hand. If you do make sure you have rubber gloves nearby. 

3) Do not drink milk or eat fish that has been on your kitchen counter for 3 days. The best before dates become moot about hour 8 of day one.

4) Do not take your wife to meet Jason Momoa now that he is single. Better to be safe than sorry. Trust me on this one.

5) Do not join a nudist colony in a jungle. I have heard mosquitos hang out in those locations. There are places you do not want to be scratching.

6) Do not tape a $100 bill to your forehead and walk down dark streets after midnight. Check that, anytime. If you don’t want the money send it to Oldguy56_world. I take e-transfers.

7) If you like to take daily walks alone do not walk by schools when it is raining and you are wearing a trench coat. Teachers must hate this fashion as they always call the police on you.

8) The only thing worse than forgetting your wife’s birthday or your anniversary is forgetting she went to the mall with you and you just go home by yourself. Don’t do that.

9) if you like walking in the woods avoid wearing honey scented cologne or perfume especially if you are wearing salmon colored clothing.

Follow these rules and it will help you avoid time in an ER.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: There are two parts to having advice work. First it has to be good from a reliable source and second, you have to follow it.

A/N: This chapter is a little shorter, but I think I’m going to stop strictly writing every chapter of a story at 3k words, I’ve found it really restricting. It’s 2.4k. Also, keep sending in your thoughts of who you want the romantic relationship to be with in this story, I want to make sure I’m writing something that you guys are interested in reading.

LOST IN TRANSLATION ↳What do you do when you have no qualifications but want to see the world? You help teach English in a Korean primary school, apparently. ↳Principal!Jin, math teacher!Yoongi, PE teacher!Hoseok, English teacher!Namjoon, school nurse!Jimin, art teacher!Taehyung, and science teacher!Jungkook.

CHAPTER THREE ↳You prepare for your first day of actually teaching at the school, and are let in on a well-kept secret.

The nurse’s house was small and cozy, and you were sure one day in the near future you’d go around and explore all the nooks and crannies and details that made it special, but for now you were just trying not to fall asleep in your soup.

He had insisted pretty much the second you got in his car and went to thank him for letting you stay that you should call him Jimin, not Nurse Park, and that was fine with you. It felt more comfortable living with a ‘Jimin’ than a ‘Nurse’.

In fact, comfortable was certainly a word you were beginning to associate with him in general. He blasted the heaters the whole way home, spoke softly and slowly, introduced you to his cuddly cat Miso, sat you down on his couch with a blanket while he heated up some beef broth, and was now walking you through a welcome package he had prepared.

“My house doesn’t have very good heating, so I got you some bed socks and a heat pad. Heat pads are very popular here in Korea, do you know what they are?” You nod with a soft smile, a little overwhelmed with his thoughtfulness. “Oh, good! This one is for the microwave, too, so you can use it over and over again. Next I got you a SIM card, it’s got 500 texts a month and 1GB of data, hopefully that’s enough, and here is an adaptor, I googled what plugs they use in your country and got an adaptor so you can plug your stuff in to our walls, and then here’s some traditional Korean candy, I thought you might like to try some, this flavor is my favorite, actually, but the most popular one is…”

You could cry with how kind he’s being, and it sure is tempting, but you bury it down with a spoonful of salty, rich broth and resort to thanking him profusely every time he pauses to take a breath.

Once he collects up all the gifts into a little basket, he stands back up and holds a hand out to you. “You must be tired, I’ll show you around quickly and you can have a sleep if you want. I need to get back to work, I’m sorry.”

“Of course!” You put the empty bowl down on the table and take his hand with your non-sprained one, letting him tug you upright and lead you down the hall.

“Clearly, this is the living room, just across there is the kitchen and dining room, and let’s go down the hall, I’ll show you the rest. Okay, bathroom, toilet, laundry. I’m sorry, but I only have one bathroom, so we’ll need to share.”

“Oh, it’s fine! Thank you.”

He beams at you, cheeks puffing out, and places a hand on your back. “You don’t need to thank me. I’m very happy you’re here.”

You blush at that comment and allow him to point out his bedroom quickly before opening the door to your room, directly across the hallway from his.

“I know it’s not much, but I’ve put the heater in here and given you some extra blankets too. I bought a desk and bookcase from the secondhand store, so hopefully they should be okay. Let me know if you need anything else.”

You shake your head. “This is…very much. You are very nice, Jimin.”

He deflects the compliment with a laugh. “Don’t worry about it. I need to go back to the school now, but help yourself to anything in the kitchen, have a shower or a bath if you want, have a sleep. Wi-Fi password is written on the fridge.”

You expect him to take his leave and lock the door behind you since he was probably already missing more time than he should, but before he turned away, he pulled you into a quick hug.

He’s barely taller than you, and when he takes you in his arms his chin tucks into the side of your neck, so that you can feel the vibration in his throat on your skin. “I’m really glad you’re here, honestly.”

He pulls away, red-faced, and quickly dashes down the hallway, snatching his keys off the table and shutting the door firmly behind him.

You stand, still in your bedroom, bewildered. You didn’t realize Koreans were that quick to be so friendly, or maybe it was just him.

At any rate, your jet-lagged brain was too filled with cotton to do anything but collapse on the single bed and fall into a deep sleep.

“Wake up, wake up!”

You groan at the cheery voice and let out a yawn, eyes still squeezed firmly shut. “No, not yet. Give me five more minutes.”

A pause. “Uh, I don’t understand what you said, but you should probably get up.”

Wait. Who was that? You huff slowly out your nose as the events of the past day catch up on you. The plane, the school, the other teachers. Jimin’s house.

Your eyes shoot open. “Oh, I’m sorry! Why- uh what, what time is it?”

You sit yourself up, rubbing at your eyes and squinting in the bright bedroom light. Jimin’s sitting on the edge of the bed looking down at you, wearing raggedy plaid pajamas. His hair is matted down on one side and sticking up on the other like he’s just woken up. He smiles serenely down at you. “It’s just after half past six, I thought you might need some time to get ready this morning. I usually leave home at 7:30.”

You sigh and it morphs into another yawn. You slept for over 12 hours? Jet lag really had it out for you. You went to reply but were cut off by the unmistakable sound of your stomach grumbling noisily.

Jimin grins cheekily at the way you blush. “I’ll make breakfast for us while you get dressed.”

“Yes, thank you.” You wait until he leaves the room, shutting the door softly behind him, before getting up to put some work-appropriate clothes on, still thudding around like a zombie.

One suede skirt and linen blouse later, you pad out to the kitchen, hearing more than one voice. Jimin has his back to you, stirring at a steaming pot on the stove, and a man you vaguely recognize from yesterday sitting at the table.

The young man glances up when you approach slowly and flashes you a toothy smile. “Ah, sleeping beauty! You ready to eat?”

You nod and laugh awkwardly, not wanting to admit you had forgotten his name. He scooted his chair over to give you room and you sat down. “Do you be here? Um, you live here?”

Jimin scoffed, beginning to plate up three bowls of a creamy looking porridge. “Basically.” He held a bowl in each hand, cradling the third against his chest, and joined them at the table. “Jungkook lives next door, but he’s always coming here for free food and a ride to the school,” he clarified.

You nodded. “Oh, I understand.” You let Jimin hand out the bowls, Jungkook taking his from Jimin and immediately digging in like an animal, and you giving Jimin an awkward little head-bow upon receiving yours.

The porridge is hot but thick, almost gelatinous, and it’s got a hint of something savory in it. Unlike anything you’ve tried before, but quite effective in warming and filling your stomach for the day. “You cook well, Jimin,” you compliment.

He blushes and fiddles with his spoon, eyes squinting into crescents. “Ah, thank you, Y/n, I’m glad someone appreciates me.” He throws Jungkook a playful glare. “I think I like her much better than you already, she’s so polite. You might have to find a new hyung if you don’t start being more grateful.”

Jungkook ignores him and leans over to you, stage-whispering conspiratorially. “I know you’re just being nice because he’s giving you a place to stay. If you get sick of him, you can always come over and stay with me.”

“This kid,” Jimin interjects, “he couldn’t take care of a dead frog long enough to dissect it! Don’t listen to him.”

Jungkook rolls his eyes and rocks back on the legs of his chair. “For the last time, it was meant to turn that color! Basic biology, I wouldn’t expect you to know.”

“Jungkook, I went to medical school.”

“You didn’t go to medical school for frogs!”

Jimin finishes his bowl and chucks the spoon down with a dramatic shake of his head. “I fear for the children, Jung-ah, I really do.”

You clear your throat awkwardly. “Sorry, but it’s almost 7:30.”

In perfect time, their heads shot towards the clock on Jimin’s wall and they swore, rushing to the kitchen to dump their plates.

Apparently, on a Tuesday, there were three English classes, but the first period was free, so you were quickly herded to the staffroom, which you hadn’t seen earlier but was in the back of the reception room, by Jimin before he left to go start working.

The staffroom was basically a little kitchenette and a couple couches, but the heater was on blast and they had a little container of hot chocolate powder in the coffee and tea cabinet, so you were happy.

As you got yourself settled, you were prepared for forty-five minutes of sitting alone and doing nothing, but just as you took your first delightful sip of hot chocolate, the door opened and in walked one of the other teachers.

You remember him as the one who openly insulted your Korean level in front of his whole class and the principal, and he makes no effort to smile at you as he drearily makes himself a black coffee and slumps down on the couch opposite.

“You aren’t teaching?” you offer up nervously when the awkward silence becomes too much for you.

He gives you a droll look. “Of course I’m teaching. That’s why I’m here instead of in my classroom.”

You pout into your hot chocolate. “Maybe that is why children hating math. Their teacher is so grumpy.”

His lip twitches and he pokes his tongue into the side of his mouth. “Maybe if I could understand what you were saying, I’d be able to respond to it.”

You huff petulantly. “You speak English and then you know it’s hard and not be mean.”

He raises a lazy eyebrow, taking a slow drag of his coffee. “Wow, what an inspiring lesson for the children. Learn English and you won’t be mean anymore. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked for me.”

You close your mouth after it had been hanging open. “I agree. I think you are just the Grinch or Scrooge.”

You’re shocked when, instead of a glare, he laughs openly, exposing a surprisingly cute gummy smile. He composes himself quickly, levelling his dark eyebrows at you. “You should be nicer to your elders, you know. What if Principal Kim heard you speaking to me like that?”

“Principal Kim already knows,” you answer confidently, “he is agreeing with me about you.”

Teacher Min shakes his head one last time and stands up, finishing his coffee in two lazy gulps and leaves the dirty cup in the sink, ignoring the laminated sign that explicitly read ‘do not leave dirty dishes in the sink, use the dishwasher’.

He turns back to you with a cheeky glimmer in his eyes. “Do me a favor, ask the English teacher about Rap Monster.”

You frown. “What?”

He just taps the side of his nose. “He’ll know.”

Very shortly after the math teacher took his leave, the door was bursting open again, this time revealing the energetic phys ed teacher with a look of caution in his eyes. “Is he gone?”

“Who?”

“Teacher Min, has he left yet?”

You nod with a confused look on your face. “Yes. Why?”

His face relaxes and he grins at you as he makes his way over to the small fridge. “I have a bet with Seokjin.”

“What is this word, bet?”

His voice is muffled as he roots around in the fridge. “It’s like a challenge. If I do the challenge, I get a prize, but if I fail, Principal Kim gets the prize. Ah!” He emerges triumphantly holding a bulky plastic box with a padlock dangling from it.

“What is that?” you ask incredulously.

“Yoongi, sorry, teacher Min’s snack stash.”

“With that thing on it?”

“The lock?” Teacher Jung beams at you and produces a key. “Don’t worry, I found this in his desk in the math room.”

You bite your lip, watching him jimmy off the lock and open up the box to reveal a little lunchbox of leftovers, meat, vegetables, rice. “But why?”

Hoseok sifts through, pulling out some skewers of meat to begin chewing on, still cold. He talks through a mouthful. “If I eat Yoongi’s lunch every day for two weeks without him realizing who it is, Principal Kim is going to give me a raise.”

You watch him chow down on the math teacher’s lunch with a befuddled expression. “He is paying you more money for you steal food from another teacher?”

Teacher Jung swallowed. “Yes.”

“I think that is maybe a mean thing.”

He gives you a soft smile but wastes no time before diving into the next thing, a little tub of rice. “Don’t worry, I bring some food from home for him to have. It’s not about stealing his lunch, it’s about stealing his lunch without getting caught. It’s very exciting.”

He holds a pair of chopsticks out to you and you shake your head, although you are beginning to see the humor of it. “How long have you do this already?”

“Today is Day 7,” he declares proudly, “only three to go. Although, he is starting to get clever.” A thought occurs to him and he furrows his brows. “You can’t tell teacher Min! Nobody else knows except me, Seokjin, and you now. I’m trusting you.”

You nod dutifully. “I have your secret.”

He grins. “Good. Anyway, ho-”

He’s interrupted by the clanging of a far-off bell signaling the end of class. “You have English now, right?” he asked. “You should probably get going. Do you need me to take you there?”

You stand up and put your cup in the dishwasher. “I think I am good, thank you. Goodbye.”

He waves you off cheerily, attention already half-taken up by putting the padlock back on the box and returning it to the fridge completely empty. As you walked out the door, you saw him pull out a plain lunchbox with a post-it note on top that read ‘for Yoongi, got you again!’ in extremely careful, nondescript handwriting, shoving it in the fridge in front of the empty box.

You’re grinning to yourself all the way to your first class of the year.

(Episode 8 !!

Good lord, this is a lot. Knew we’d get into a lot of shizz with it being titled “XV”. It really felt like the episode that would proceed episode 13 (like previous seasons when the episode is named after the season). There ended up being a pretty hype battle near the end, even playing “FINAL COMMANDER” again to top it all off.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. 

First off, there’s Carol. It’s SOOOOOO nice to see her back and now we get to see her fight AND sing. And as expected, she has no issues with fighting them.

One thing that I loved about this fight was that Carol was basically posing like she was a conductor as they fought.

Like the way her arms move is just...very pleasing. Lol. Plus she is still powerful. I really thought she wouldn’t come back remembering who she was because when she transferred Elfnein to her body, Carol was in an amnesiac state. She barely remembered anything so I assumed it would be the same. But nope, Carol sure knows who she is, what happened all the way back in GX and everything. (they explain later in the episode that she somehow managed to make a copy of her core personality, explaining why it was still her).

But in truth, I’m actually really happy that Carol and Elfnein can share the same body without consequences. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but maybe not them willingly sharing the same body or something.

One thing in this scene that was super sweet was Carol asking for Elfnein to make sure all the autoscorers get a proper burial. Elfnein described Carol as being someone who’s actually kind, and I think this managed to show how she can be. It was a really sweet moment, one that made me want to cry a little bit honestly.

Once Carol drives Nobel Red away, she contacts everyone at HQ to figure out a plan to help save Miku and destroy that representation of the Divine Power in the sky.

SideNote: Keywords from episode 7 have been translated in english now and helps describe what that giant/baby thing is, as well as Millaarc’s “stained glance” in detail.

Divine Power

The divine power hidden within the Vambrace of Shem-Ha overflowed due to its immense volume exceeding initial simulations. This resulted in a temporary purge of the energy outside of the Château, where it gathered. Plans were amended to allow the divine power time to materialize and fill the girl serving as its vessel.

The giant mass of energy "located" at the highest point of Château de Tiffauges does not move with any clear will of its own. Instead, it merely defends itself from approaching helicopters and Adaptors while attempting to invade its chosen "vessel" like a hermit crab searching for a shell. Its "reactions" seem limited to mere instincts and impulses.

Stained Glance

An attempt at recreating an ancient power once thought to be held by vampires, just as the name suggests, it allows the user to forcibly interfere with others minds via a cursed gaze.

It's difficult to use on someone of disciplined will and requires taking advantage of the target's weaknesses or emotions, and so can't be considered a very effective weapon.

Unless, of course, it can be mastered. In that case, it becomes a fearsome evil eye.

It can corrode the heart, impacting not only judgment but also self-esteem. This in turn can increase the target's dependence on others, causing them to exhibit a number of effects similar to suggestion or hypnosis, such as forcing them to carry out a command.

Swallowed by the rage from having witnessed such a tragedy, Tsubasa allowed herself to fall victim to her opponent's gaze, causing a seal to be carved deep into her heart.

Said seal is exploitable not only by the one who placed it, but also third parties. Using a trigger phrase, it is easy to seize control of her consciousness.

And now, the one using that trigger is the heretic Kazanari Fudou himself.

This seemed clear enough, at least the control aspect of it, but it’s still nice to know officially in more detail.

So basically, Carol teams up with everyone to destroy the Divine Power. Hibiki is still hurt so she can’t exactly help them do it.

It cuts to Noble Red getting replenishment of blood from Fudo and of course he’s still...Fudo. Lol. But as it says in the keywords about Miku (Miku literally gets her own keyword), Fudo is the one that ordered them to bring her back along with Elfnein. 

It’s stated that the information about her being a potential vessel was found out during the breach, so he made a last minute choice to use her as the vessel instead.

He still believes the power will be his though, but have no idea how he’ll actually get it. But his second sentence is referring to Hibiki, as she is considered the god-slayer. I assume he said that in terms of...using Miku as a vessel, because Hibiki wouldn’t want to fight her of course so she can’t destroy the divine power. 

But who knows, it could be about something else outside of that. Can’t say for certain.

So, all the Gear users choose to head out to try and activate the Chateau by singing their Zesshou’s to gather Phonic Gain. It originally didn’t work, and the Chateau just wasn’t reacting to their Phonic Gain. In the meantime, Carol ends up getting attacked by Noble Red again.

They try to win against her by summoning their Daedalus End/Labyrinth against her, trapping her there. However, it literally takes no time for Carol to break free from the trap, breaking the labyrinth and reducing it as useless.

She sang to get free, which as she has claimed back in GX, is literally:

more powerful than seven billion climax songs. Lol. So thanks to that, Carol single-handedly produced enough Phonic Gain for Tsubasa and the others to gain enough to use their X-Drives. 

And with that, they began their assault on the manifestation of the divine power, actually managing to get a good amount of damage onto it. But of course, just like before, it can heal itself on every dimension, so the damage doesn’t last long.

What’s a small little random tidbit I liked was that everyone’s pendants are big/wide now, like how Hibiki’s has been in each season when in her X-Drive form.

There are better closeups than this one but it’s with all them together so yeah. ^^

Also, come to find out that Fudo tainted Noble Red’s blood supply. This seems to be the moment he chooses to betray and cast them aside. Frankly, I think Noble Red knew they couldn’t exactly trust Fudo, but he was actually giving them blood for who knows how long since “saving them”. I didn’t mention the earlier scene they were talking to him, but they were asking about him giving them time to get back to being human but he immediately ends the call in the middle of Vanessa’s plea.

Clearly no one is safe from being betrayed by him. His entire role in this is still up in the air though, and I’m not even sure how he’s going to use the “Stained Glance” on Tsubasa to his advantage. Guess we can only wait and see.

After this, this is where things start getting crazy. They begin playing FINAL COMMANDER again, and they all begin fighting. They couldn’t activate the Chateau, but use their X-Drives to fight instead.

Once again, the damage they manage to do is reduced due to the divine power regenerating, and so, they end up sending Hibiki back into the battle.

This is due to her being stubborn and not wanting to rest basically. Hibiki’s been dreaming about Miku ever since she’s been knocked out and the last one she had was showing Miku being pulled away from her, Hibiki reaching out in fear that Miku was leaving her. And so;

I love her haha.

Moving on, this next part is literally too much to write about. I feel like it’s a scene that needs to be seen and heard because good lord was it amazing. I don’t know how to describe how it made me feel.

With FINAL COMMANDER playing in the background, you literally have everyone trying their best to protect Hibiki; taking hits for her, doing attacks to protect her from incoming projectiles, help guiding her closer and closer to the divine power. It was just great teamwork and something that just shows how far they’ve all come (at least that’s the feeling I got). This is the sort of scene that takes place, once again, in episode 12, fitting of the episode normally titled after the season.

Pictures cannot capture that scene well enough and I’m tempted to just post it myself honestly so people can see what I mean, haha. BUT for now, this really poor recap will do. 

I WILL say that I loved this shot of one piece of Hibiki’s headset being shot off.

Eventually, Hibiki gets close enough, but by this point, Elfnein reveals something (since she’s still in the Chateau with Miku):

This is literally seconds before Hibiki busts through to come face to face with Miku (?) herself.

And then they have...Miku going through a beautiful transformation. I didn’t talk about the other ones in depth but in terms of this one, I feel like I have to at least mention it because of the contrast and it actually being Shem-Ha.

Because what’s different here is that while she does have the vambrace on her wrist, there’s Shenshoujing as well.

The mirror behind her the entire time, showing its light against her as she’s transforming, is actually Shenshoujing. And at the end of it, the Aufwachen Waveform for SSJ shows.

One thing I didn’t mention, simply because I didn’t realize until this past Saturday, was back in episode 6 of XV, they actually showed Shenshoujing on screen. Vanessa was using it, I believe, as a means to keep the vambrace of Shem-Ha in check with its large quantity of power. She was also placing these “stones” around the vambrace as well. It very well could be that those stones were actual pieces of Shenshoujing but we can’t say yet.

All I know for sure is that she had SSJ pulled up on her ipad/tablet thing while she was setting everything up for once Elfnein and Miku got there.

But really, all this proves is that everyone was too late. Hibiki reaches out to Miku of course, calling out her name, only for her to respond with this:

And it just ends like that. Lol. BUT WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO DO IN THE CREDITS INSTEAD OF JUST A BLACK SCREEN IS JUST...SPAM EVERYONE WITH HIBIKI/MIKU MOMENTS LOL.

And from each season! I admit, I am a bum and got upset about this because...they’re just hammering it in. Everything was pretty much building to this moment. Ever since they hinted to Miku being a possible vessel at the end of AXZ, it was really only a matter of time that she’d be forced to have it as well and be used to fight against Hibiki, who’s the god-killer/slayer.

Of course...Hibiki wouldn’t want to use that ability against Miku, she’d want to save her. But what can they all do in order to free Miku from all this? There’s no telling. I feel like this is the moment where things really start getting more intense.

And that’s crazy to say since this whole season has been pretty crazy so far. But with this episode being titled “XV” and all this shizz happened already, I can’t even imagine what they have planned for the last 5.

I really don’t even know how to process this episode in words, since I didn’t know how to after watching the episode.

There’s just....yeah FFFFF.

One sad thing I will say is that they all fought SO HARD to help save Miku. Hibiki even pushed herself out of bed, saying “damn” to all her injuries, and goes out there. But in the end, they were just too late....and that makes me hurt a bit haha. As to why, like before, Hibiki’s expression when she sees Miku is just that more heartbreaking. I can’t imagine everyone else’s reaction too, which I’m sure we’ll see next episode.

Okay I think I’m done. I don’t think this one was as long, or in-depth, as the others because it was either information we already knew or just some good action scenes that are much better to be seen outside of pictures. 

Next week cannot come any faster.)

Hank was tempted to peek into the other work room to see what was going on, but now wasn't the time. As he followed Peepers into the room, Hank cringed when the paper airplane almost hit the Commander in the face.

He was a ball of nervous energy as the other watchdogs were talking. He rocked back and forth on his heels in the background as Commander Peepers

Hank noted the names of the two watchdogs and tried to memorize their faces to their names so he would remember the next time he saw them. He waved to them when he heard Commander Peepers say his name.

Hank nodded at the mention of his broken machine. He went back to rocking on his feet and stared at Peepers as he explained what was going on.

Hank smiled back at Sally genuinely. He didn't think this would be so bad.

"Yes, I have my tablet. What sort of adaptor do I need? I might have one." He held up his tablet and examined her machine.

@watchdogsworld

(Previous) Hank nodded twice and opened the emails app. "Just junk mail," he deleted some emails and closed the app again. Hank got up and followed Peepers, looking back for just a second at his comfortable chair that was being left behind. "I'm sure they'll appreciate the help," Hank was quickly recovering his composure or at least the veneer of it.

"Oh I'm sure they will!"

Peepers peeked into one workroom, only to sigh and head to the one next door to it. Then he lead Hank to a workstation with two watchdogs lounging around and throwing paper airplanes. He caught one when it was about to hit his face and cleared his throat.

"We're sorry, sir!" A watchdog with a feminine voice started to yell. "We'll get back to wo-"

Peepers raised his hand to signal for her to stop. "I'm not here to yell at you. And Josh, sit back down. I'm talking to both of you." He complied with a relieved sigh.

Then Peepers glanced back at Hank. "Here's the watchdogs I mentioned. Joshua and Sally." They both waved and muttered a greeting. After that, he faced them and pointed back at him with his thumb. "And that's Hank, the newbie."

"His machine broke, so I figured you could share some scans I'm sure you haven't even looked to give him something to do. It'd be killing two birds with one stone!" Peepers paused before smirking at his own wordplay. "Well, three."

Neither of them missed the jab. Sally gave Peepers a strained smile and thumbs up. "Thanks! That's... nice of you."

Then she shoved Josh's rolling chair aside so Hank could get to her machine. "Got your tablet on you, kid?" She started to rummage through her desk drawer. "Pretty sure I have an adapter around here somewhere..."

Best Flat White Coffee Machines UK

There’s no denying how delicious a latte can be. But with the large milk to coffee ratio, coffee lovers might be disappointed by the flavour of the coffee getting lost in the milk.

That is one of the many reasons why flat whites have become trendy in recent years. The smaller amount of milk in them gives them a delightfully velvety mouthfeel and stronger espresso flavour that is simply accentuated by the milk rather than overpowered by it.

Most people associate flat whites with boutique cafes and large coffee chains. But the right coffee machine will make it possible for you to prepare these drinks at home, too.

If that’s something you’re interested in, we’ve created a list of the best flat white coffee machines. Let’s take a closer look…

Best Flat White Coffee Machines in the UK

Melitta Barista TS Smart

For novices, one of the best types of coffee machines you can get is a bean to cup one. This type of machine does everything for you. It will grind your beans, brew the espresso, and foam your milk with just a few quick button pushes.

And when it comes to bean to cup machines and flat whites, we feel as if the Melitta Barista TS Smart is at the top. While many bean to cup models will only have a few buttons that you’ll have to fuss with in order to customise particular recipes, the Barista TS Smart already comes with 21 specific recipes built in.

One of those recipes, of course, is a flat white. Should you ever be in the mood for other drinks, though, it’s likely that the Barista TS Smart will have precisely what you want.

It’s also an excellent machine to share with others. You can create up to eight user profiles in the machine, so it essentially remembers what the unique preferences of eight different people are.

Pros:

• The machine can remember the drink preferences of several people.

• It includes 21 coffee shop recipes right out of the box.

• Because it will foam and pour your milk for you, it is truly a one-touch machine.

• With a water tank of almost two litres, it can prepare several drinks in a row.

• It’s possible to control the machine and customise recipes through the Melitta Connect app on your phone.

• Compatible with whole bean and pre-ground coffee.

Cons:

• The app can be a little finicky at connecting to your Barista TS Smart.

De’Longhi Dedica

What better way to get a flat white perfectly personalised to your tastes than to make it yourself? With the De’Longhi Dedica, that is precisely what you’ll do.

This tiny espresso machine makes it possible for you to offer an entire menu of coffee shop-style drinks right at home. Fortunately, it is much tinier than your average coffee shop’s espresso machine; at just 15 centimetres in width, you can easily fit it between other appliances in your home.

It’s an attractive machine, too. If you don’t like the basic silver colour, you can purchase the machine in an elegant black or luxurious red that calls to mind high-end sports cars.

Pros:

• Small width so the machine can fit in on crowded counters.

• It’s available in black, red, or silver colour combinations.

• You’ll have total control over how each drink turns out.

• You can remove the drip tray to fit taller mugs beneath the brewer.

Cons:

• You will need an adaptor to use it, since it has a two-pin plug.

Nespresso Creatista Sage

A bean to cup machine is fantastic for beginners who don’t want to spend weeks and potentially even months figuring out how to operate an espresso machine. But there’s another great choice for beginners, too: pod machines like the Nespresso Creatista Sage.

At first glance, you might be tempted to assume that the Creatista is another espresso machine. Despite its gleaming exterior, though, it’s actually a pod model.

This makes brewing the perfect cup unbelievably fast and easy. You’ll be able to select from a huge plethora of Nespresso flavours. Once your pod is selected, insert it into the top of the machine, place the milk pitcher beneath the frother, and select how you’d like your milk prepared.

Best of all, the Creatista already has a milk setting designated for flat whites. You won’t even need to fuss with it to figure out how to craft a flat white.

Read Next: Top Rated Coffee Machines in the United Kingdom

Pros:

• Great for beginners.

• It looks like a high-end, compact espresso machine.

• You’ll be able to start brewing within a few seconds after turning it on.

• Has a built-in flat white setting to perfectly heat and froth your milk.

• Includes a milk pitcher made from durable stainless steel.

• The drip tray is removable, so you can give it quick rinses in your sink.

Cons:

• The front of the machine isn’t metal – it’s plastic.

• You will need to add the milk to your espresso separately.

Check Pricing on Amazon >>

Sage Barista Express

Learning to use an espresso machine is only half the battle when you choose to manually make your own drinks. The other half is finding a quality grinder and learning how to use the grinder, as well.

If that seems like too much of a hassle, the Barista Express is a good middle ground. You won’t need to invest in both an espresso machine and a grinder because it already includes both components.

The Barista Express gives you all the building blocks you’ll need to hand-craft flat whites. It even comes with a milk jug that shows the temperature on the outside so you’ll know exactly how hot the milk is.

Despite its imposing appearance, the Barista Express is still fairly easy to learn, as well. You can programme the amounts for single and double shots of espresso into it. Once it’s programmed, you’ll only need to choose the right button whenever you want to brew a shot.

Pros:

• It has an integrated grinder, so you won’t need to buy one separately.

• You’ll be able to customise your drinks to your exact preferences, since you’re not relying on pods or pre-programmed recipes.

• There are indicator lights on the Barista Express that notify you when it needs to be cleaned.

• It has magnetic storage for the included tamper.

• Comes with a milk pitcher that displays the temperature of the milk inside.

Cons:

• This may not be the best machine for beginners, since it’s very hands-on.

Check Pricing on Amazon >>

De’Longhi Lattissima Pro

One of the greatest pod machines with a milk frother is definitely the De’Longhi Lattissima Pro. It made quite a few improvements to the Lattissima line, such as a metal grate on the front and a durable metal drip tray.

Plus, rather than using the standard one-touch milk frother, it has a built-in Aeroccino milk frother. That means the machine now offers users hot or cold milk froth. Want to make a cool flat white to refresh you on a hot day? That’s not a problem with the Pro – just brew over ice and top your drink with cold milk.

On top of that, the fact that it uses Nespresso pods is convenient for you. Nespresso pods are readily available either online or in many stores. You can even install an app on your phone to order more when you’re running low.

If you feel guilty about the waste traditionally generated by pods, there’s no need to be. Nespresso pods are recyclable.

Pros:

• It’s easy to get the pods you’ll need to brew on the machine.

• The Lattissima Pro can produce both hot and cold milk.

• It will pour the milk in your drink for you.

• Has a durable metal drip tray.

• Capable of brewing at up to 19 bars of pressure for high-quality extraction.

• It has a sleek and simple touchscreen on top for choosing your drinks.

Cons:

• The milk bottle requires regular cleaning.

• Some owners have said the machine makes too much foam.

What to Consider When Buying a Flat White Coffee Machine

Machine Type

Flat whites aren’t the exclusive property of espresso machines, although that is the traditional way of making them. You have options to choose from if you don’t want to invest in and learn how to use an espresso machine.

Pod and bean to cup machines are what we suggest for novices. Either type of machine is incredibly quick to learn to use. Bean to cup machines tend to be more expensive, so if you’re on a budget, a pod machine may be a better fit.

The drawback to either machine type is the lack of control. They may give you options to personalise a drink, but they will never give you the same degree of customisation you can get on an espresso machine.

An espresso machine is the best choice for you if you’re already experienced in using one or you’re willing to learn. This will bring your closer to what you’d get in a coffee shop, because you will have a greater ability to experiment with flavour profiles.

Dimensions

It’s always wise to learn exactly how large any coffee machine is before ordering one. Every coffee machine will have its dimensions listed somewhere on its product page.

We strongly recommend comparing those dimensions with your counter space. If the machine is too large, you’ll know ahead of time that you’ll either need to find another location for it in your home or that you’ll have to order a different one instead.

Water Tank

Unless you’re purchasing a machine that connects to your water line, the size of a coffee machine’s water tank is always worth consideration. The number of drinks you can make before you need to top the machine off is directly impacted by the water tank’s capacity.

Are multiple people going to be using the machine? Will you often make drinks for guests and family? Then think about looking for larger water tanks – anything over a single litre, but closer to two if possible.

The problem with larger water tanks is that the size of the machine also goes up to accommodate a greater capacity. If you desperately need a more compact coffee machine, you may need to content yourself with a smaller water tank.

Cost

It’s never a bad idea to also think about how much a machine is going to cost you. No one wants to end up spending more than they were expecting.

To avoid the nasty shock of a higher checkout price, start by outlining a good price range for you. This will help you understand which possibilities to eliminate from consideration right away.

You can even sort by price or input a specific price range on most sites. That way, you’ll only see machines that you know you can comfortably afford.

Wrap Up

The meteoric rise of the flat white in coffee shops is understandable. Flat whites are perfect for those who want to temper the flavour of their espresso with some creamy milk…without totally drowning that earthy coffee flavour in said milk.

If we were looking to make our own flat whites at home, we’d go for a machine like the Nespresso Creatista Sage. It has a flat white milk setting already built into its menu, so we wouldn’t need to fuss with it to get the perfect drink each time.

Furthermore, since it uses Nespresso pods, we know there’s a huge range of flavour possibilities. We’d have fun experimenting with various pod flavours to discover the one that we find tastiest.
