400 PQI is pretty low. I nearly dropped £850 on a Samsung curved tv recently and it had 1000pqi. It was good. It's an invented term by Samsung. Best option is go into a shop and actually view for yourself!

You answer the question, it's £350 and half of people give it 1 star. That's not a quiet minority. If you want a good 4k TV that is curved and able to play games very well, I'm yet to happen across a bad Samsung. They aren't amazing all round, but you have to be a keen hobbyist/specialist to notice the difference between that and the highest spec ones on the market. But for your needs you will get on with a Samsung. LG do a few good ones, they also do one of the highest spec curved TV's on the market currently. So they know their shit, but they have a habit of being great but a bit rough around the edges with the features. But for watching TV and playing games the cheaper of the LG and Samsung will do just fine Put up a range you've been looking at, I'm actually half good with TV's as a by product of my dads obsession with them!

Nice! And just re-built? You’ll have a lot of happy miles in that little beastie. Shame the rotary engine could never have its bugs worked out. The future of them would have been good if they weren’t environmental distasters

I asked J.K Rowling about Harry's father. She thinks it's James Hewitt as well.

I did this with an old concrete roof, looked like shit but worked a treat. I later sealed it off behind a plywood suspended ceiling.

Helps it but doesn't stop it I've found. Prefer wood any day now! My concrete one has condensation on all of the tools, it's getting a lot of work to stop it soon!
-
Metal gets bad condensation problems! I'd stick with wood. It's easier on the eye, but also adaptable, and less conspicuous. A thief might wonder "why the extra strength to keep people out?" to a metal shed. Get some metal plate (2-3mm thick ) and an angle grinder + drill. Just cut pieces to reinforce entry points thieves would use by bolting it on, like the door and any vulnerable part of the side wall. Don't bother with a window as it's an easy access point and you can see inside. You want a unsuspecting shed, with no windows, and a lot of internal strength to stop people getting in. Just my two pence worth!

Awesome! From the explanatory way you write it seems you'd make a good instructor.

Coming soon... MrBrightsides NOTD could be his GF when she breaks something over his head. I give it 2 days

The BBC have an urgent appeal for a new TV host in the wake of Terry Wogans death. Their advert went like so: "One experienced television host required for popular charity telethon. Must like Children. (But not too much)"

These drivers are a dime a dozen these days. Also the sort to do something awful then swear blind it wasn't their fault. If you can catch them without breaking and laws or appearing to be following then do feel free to pull alongside and tap on the window. Giving them what for is actually something I suggest as long as you're not screaming. A tap on the window and telling them they could have killed someone may get you blanked, but it will probably irritate them at some level. Everyone wants to avoid trouble at the end of the day. Some nob last night started getting road ragey with Bikermoo. Car parked on the side of the road in one lane of a 30mph dual carriageway and we are approaching at speed limit. She indicated, waited longer than I would have but a BMW tried to push past her. He couldn't complete the overtake as there's a car in front of him in his lane so he seems to back off a bit, and we want to fill the space between him and this car. He still left space so I said go, didn't make him brake or change course. But he got on the high beams immediately, swerving around then trying to undertake in a bus lane which began just up the road and replaced the left lane. Very random. Someone just looking for trouble, he didn't accelerate until the indicator had been on a few seconds and he had no where to go. Didn't sit well with him a smart car going ahead clearly. I was using moos smart car to get to work, and people treat you like scum! Because you're small you get cut in on, tail gated, and bullied across the road. Size does indeed matter on the road it seems.

How is fuel getting there? What route is it taking? Is there a breather on the carb/tank?

I was a light build growing up, I didn't get 9 stone until I was about 14-15 When I started I had a max on the bench press of 35kg for 8-10 reps. I warm up on 70kg now Max I've shoved is 120kg.
-
And if that's the aim, that's brilliant. I started because it really helped both physically and mentally. I needed focus and something to work towards. I was also bordering anorexia by accident, I was always told I ate a lot, but the truth was I never had breakfast, barely a lunch, and just had a big meal in the evening so people thought I was fine despite my diminishing stature. At 6 foot 2 you should not be bordering 60kg or 9.5 stone in English. So sorted the diet, came up 4 stone over 2 years, and now I hold it. I have a heart murmur so it's for the best I keep myself healthy I think. The irregular beat has subsided a lot with the new diet and activity levels.

RAAH! GYM RANT! The nobs who don't rerack their weight. Sit on their phone for 10 minutes after completing a set on the machine you want to use. The ones who throw the weight down on the floor like "Look at me" and the rest of us are like "Yes look at you, captain compensation" The ones you spot needle marks peppered around a spot on their abdomen/arm/etc that get huge in no time then claim they've been there for 5 years. The guys flexing their huge arms in the mirror, with match stick legs, they genuinely believe they look amazing. Other than that... It's not a bad place

My NOTD is a gym newbie, only been there a few weeks. In short. Teenage lass who spent ages talking, did a set on each piece of kit, then asked me for help as I was on the machine next to her. Little chit chat, exchanged routines etc. All I said was to in future consider doing sets on a specific muscle group as it gets better gains and this seemed to provoke some internal fire. The conversation just derailed, with the statement “So you’re saying I’m wasting my time?” just coming out of nowhere. Chat ended abruptly as I just basically asked to be left alone if all she was going to do was have a go at me. Threw a look at the personal trainer I’m buddies with. Found out she’d managed to fall out with pretty much every member of staff that had talked to her about gym stuff. Weird! Spent the rest of the evening there with this girls mates trying to get an evil glare in, I just smiled back. I’m fairly sure “Why not try this routine” became “He called me stupid and a horrible fat mess” or some nonsense. Teenagers…

Newish CBR600F that filtered on the redline of first gear. Stationary traffic is no place to do 50mph down the middle. And two people heard the engine last second and nearly put the car in a hedge. Utter nob sack. What is the point in getting to work early? No one on their death bed ever said they wish they put more time in at the office.

You're showing all the signs a work mate showed of pneumonia. Get to A&E, have a chest scan immediately.

*heavy breathing* This thread is very relevant to my interests... Any finished pics? -
The words Yamaha and buggered coil end up in the same sentence a lot. Older models of Yammies seem to have this issue, I've known a good few. Glad it's sorted! It sounded electrical but it's always hard to track the things down without meticulous checking and rechecking!

It was an interesting read! Someone needs to hit them when they play out like this. I'm not the vengeful sort but you can't let people walk all over you and if there is a measure that might make them avoid damaging anyone else, then so be it. You abided by their rules, and got stung, then treated wrongly. Hope I never have this issue! But good to know my options if it happens.

What's hilarious is that man bun, or shaved sides with long top look is the new 1980s look... Mullets and moustaches have been replaced by beards and top buns. In 20 years, our children will look at that and the top buns and laugh their heads off that we thought any of it was cool.

While this is a great plan, what did they do to you?
