New speakers as early Christmas pressie from t'other half....



for small speakers they sound epic

When I was looking for a strimmer he could have sold a me a more expensive Stihl, but felt that Stihl's quality on their semi pro / domestic kit had dropped and the Efcos were a better buy for what I need. I now have a Efco strimmer and hedge cutter and am very pleased with them.

Hareaway would be creaming his pants if that was electric

I got the exact same one in the summer. Was very sceptical about it but I would have to say it is one of those purchases that has massively surpassed expectations

Still can't do pictures from phone. Got a Nespresso Vertuo after months of dithering

I suppose the lads in there were just part of the package. I’d ditch em.

They look the dogs! I've had B&W speakers in the past and they have been excellent but v big! These look ideal for my current flat.

Absolute steal. Sit/stand electric adjustable desk. Half price sale, so it's what you'd pay for the cheapest hand crank one I could find, and it's not as good for weight bearing anyway. On top of that, there was a 24% off christmas voucher, so for £160 I couldn't resist. Early christmas present to myself (though my mum has said she'll pay for it, she'd offered before when she knew I was after a desk).

Just had to show off a bit, since it's a ludicrous bargain.

I stared working full-time from home and bought this in October. Very pleased with it. I have 2 large monitors, 2 laptop and a dicking station on mine and not issue with that weight.

It is up and down like a whore’s knickers without any issue. I paid a lot more .... or should I say the company paid a lot more for it.

Quite impressive that it takes the load of being a dicking station.

Just realised that with a great weight rating, I no longer have to worry about where I'm putting my case, it can just sit on the desk now .

Enjoy your dicking.

So I bought this drone off Ebay cheap. Can anyone tell me where I can get a remote control?

Between your hips and your thighs

Not a purchase, but a Christmas gift my wife received. She was puzzled why a friend would have given her a stapler for Christmas, assuming there was some hidden joke to it. So she Googled it. £70 for a stapler. The world has gone mad.

That AND a Waitrose turkey. This truly is the end of days.

It may just be. I did not mention my brother in law owns the local butchers. His sister getting a Waitrose turkey will lead to familial fun and games. With any luck my sister in law will stop talking to us again.

Sky arrive to install the Sky Q box and Sky Q mini box. It does not work. We have a new BT router, and it turns out there is a known issue between Sky Q and this router which needs BT to fix. He has left and we now need to sort out the issue with BT, and get a re-install.

If it is a known issue with certain BT routers, why did they not ask which router we have so we could get the BT fix in advance? Muppets.

Switch your BB to Sky

good to hear. Excited about getting my office finally completed and getting this desk in place. Only recently realised that the extra weight allowance means i can put my case on it too rather than trying to find a way to have it on a stand.

Does it come with the women? Or do you have to pay extra for them?

Thanks but we can't as we live in the back of beyond and Sky do not cover our area for broadband.

Internet Radio … even has a Just a Minute radio station. Brilliant.

Nothing majorly flash, but a nice hybrid that's to ride to work.Nice solid steel frame & can be bashed off curbs etc. Am gonna sell my old Scott Scale carbon frame mtb to pay for this as I never really use it.

Nice bike

One of my sons has just acquired this car. He was keen on VW but those within his price range and mileage / age parameters were very basic. Saw this at the dealers and it hit the spot. Very well equipped, appears well built, apparently very reliable, but not the most exciting to drive, which is actually fine for a young man as he'll be less tempted to do stupid things.

Mazda was not a make that was anywhere on our radar for a hatchback, but I am very impressed.

Recently finished outdoor kitchen and dining area additions. The Primo ceramic grill/smoker is an amazing piece of kit, very flexible for either low and slow or searing steaks.

His 'outdoor kitchen' is about the size of my flat in London.

Nice place.
No screen, you don't have mosquitoes?

Yep, we definitely have mosquitoes. I have a fixed system that automatically sprays pyrethrin from the eves of house and other outdoor areas, it operates at dawn and dusk, in addition I'll fog on a Friday night if it gets really bad after a lot of rain. This combination keeps them at bay.

Switched to a more generic image which lets you see the lines more clearly.

2l petrol, but similar power to my other son's 1l Fabia.

Interesting, we are plagued by midges (smaller than mozzies, but just as unpleasant) which respond to the same deterrents. Never heard of an automatic spray system.

Mind you, our level of investment in outdoor catering is a tiny percentage of yours.

You can either go with a 45 gal drum or the newer tankless systems, this is an example system supplier: https://www.mistaway.com/

They are pretty simple to self-install, not sure about availability in the UK.
