  1. Just watched the repeat, won't say anything in case you've not seen it yet other than it was edge of the seat stuff!
  2. It's on eurosport player 11.45 (maybe red button) otherwise repeating on eurosport 2 at 16.25
  3. Is it on Eurosport? They normally provide coverage of all BSB and WorldSBK (along with some Aussie Superbike stuff thrown in) plus the supporting races. If you've not got it on TV you can get it via app / website for £10 / month or £40 / year.
  4. Waiting for switch on mine to go through from last week, tbh going to a Big 6 though because current (Spark) are absolutely useless, I've had a smart meter since last October which shows I use ~£80 a month, they just put direct debit up to £285/month Customer services are absolutely braindead, had this happen multiple times, occasionally get someone that realises the stupidity and put it down again until next automated dodah, most others I've had blazing rows with who are the "computer said no" types. I cancelled my direct debit once as I was so fed up with it to have them send my account to debt collectors 1 week after billing me (and 3 weeks before bill payment was due!) looking online I wasn't only one they did this too. Put it off as long as I could as I like the smart meter and high chance I'll lose it when I switch but just had enough now.
  5. "The SAFEST way to personalise your wheelie bin" About time! Amount of times I've nearly been knocked off when I've taken wheelie bin to the shops is a joke, like car drivers are oblivious!
  6. Betamax is the future I loved my Nokia comunicator which I still have somewhere, spent a fortune on a 16m USB stick when they first came out, it still works but not really much in the way of capacity these days. My first computer had a massive 25MB hard drive, one of my friends a few years later was the first I knew to go into gigabytes and got a 2GB drive, remember telling him he'll never fill that up Now I have 5TB in computer along with 4TB & 6TB NAS drives and still always running out of space
  7. I have a fitbit charge 2 which hits a lot of your boxes... Both heart rate and pedometer as standard (well it is a fitbit) plus sleep tracking which for me seems quite accurate, seen a few complaints online it isn't but depends on what you're after with that. Push messages are supported for text OR whatsapp, basically you choose on phone app which messaging service you want push messages for, this is a bit weird to me as if it has capability of pushing either then it would technically be possible to push both. Personally 99% of my communication is through whatsapp so have it set on that. No maps (only basic display) and no phone control, it is "splashproof" so it's fine in the rain but don't jump in swimming pool with it on. Control is via single push button or tapping screen (picks up vibration not touch) so would work with gloves on. I chose this over other smarter watches for simplistic design, I wear it 24/7 because of sleep tracking so switched to a metal band (£15 from amazon) as standard one does get a bit sweaty. Charges fairly quick and full charge lasts ~4 days, I tend to just shove on charge everytime I have a shower and that is more than enough to not think about charging it. Also with minimalist design if going out I can shove it on other wrist and wear a normal watch without it looking too much like I am wearing 2 watches. Previously had a Sony Smartwatch 3 which would do a lot more but I found it to be more gimmicky for me and charging constantly was more annoying.

    Just bored of the South East, eventually want to head out to Wales but can't do that yet because of work. Heading that direction can stay where I am but also look at things further west. Also it is so annoying that anytime I want to go anywhere chances are I need to go around London and absolute nightmare! Taken me 10 hours to get to Wales before (6 hours of that was getting to Watford!)

    Well I was thinking of going for extra tough grass (concrete) and extending patio to where the old fence now ends. But I've decided to move, want to get out of Kent now, looking at either reading or hungerford way (prefer hungerford but only 1 train an hour into London so work could be a nightmare). Was hoping to have moved this year but accident delayed that. Anyway bottom line to that is now f**k it, let the next person worry about it

    Yeah can't see how horrible and patchy it is when long I redid bottom section last year and put down new turf, gone straight back to how it looked before and now can't be bothered

    Very true can finally let dog out without worry, let him out last night and just see there cat sitting on the garden before he see it so could grab him and put lead on. Tbh didn't give damn about cat but if it decided to run out of garden he would have chased and goes stone deaf when chasing things

    No I'll have to do that no idea why every panel is a different size either, gardens are all flat.

    The psu mount? That was done on a medium speed which I've found gives decent enough quality at a decent speed. Top looks a bit rough as it was printed upside down as that top bit would have been a large area to bridge otherwise (Printing between two walls in the air) plus with a lot of thin walls there's a good chance it would have lifted from print bed so I used a raft, this puts down a few rough layers a bit larger than the piece and completely solid so gives better adhesion to print bed. For pieces that finish is important you would cut this away and then sand down that layer, I just cut round edges and reopened the top, again a perfect finish wasn't needed for that.

    google

    The phones browser is Bing , its a windows phone. You should still be able to get to Google in it, search in Bing for Google it should work or just put google.com in address bar at the top. But yes ditch the Windows phone ASAP.

    I have a crazy woman a few doors down, knocked my door on new years Eve... "Is your wife home?" Me "no" (don't mention the reason is because I live on my own) She then proceeds to rant at me that my "wife" has complained to council about her dog and they've now taken it away, at this point I tell her no wife and didn't even know she had a dog (she lives about 5/6 houses down) plus only dog I ever hear barking is my own. She then tells me that she knows it was someone here as she has asked everyone else and they said no so must have been my wife! By now I am losing temper so ask her politely to self procreate and suggested travel arrangements away from my front door. First and only time I met her. (I do actually live in a really nice area believe it or not )

    Well got psu mounted finally, own design which had a couple of annoyances which cropped up, first design I got some measurements wrong so corrected those and then decided to add some extra plastic (the top and front sections) this then made certain screws a bit of a pain to access and needed to remove all wiring and rewire in the mount but patience paid off... And for something more practical, replaced a wheel on dishwasher I lost a year ago PLA is biodegradable though so don't expect it to last too long but proof of concept. Next step will be to get some ABS filament for some tougher prints.

    Last place I lived in neighbour was an absolute twat, ended up getting a harassment order out against him so was really pleased when I moved here and had a decent neighbor! Tbh these are nowhere near his level though, they are just inconsiderate, our front gardens are open plan and they always cut across mine when going out but more annoyingly they don't even try being discrete and just straight past window, thinking bear traps should sort that though. Well fence is completely down now, have 2 panels closest to house up still but rest are now laying in their garden, checked the panel of mine that's down at end of garden and panel itself is fine, my fence has concrete posts, the post their side has come down and just pulled panel out, once they replace post that can go back on fine though. I'm just happy it landed in their garden and not on my plants

    I'll speak with them when they are home tonight, tbh I understand the skint thing however before it got like this it was just a bit loose and they could had patched it quite easily for cheap, I've been out to inspect damage and now a lot is beyond repair, at least 3 posts have snapped at the ground and one post has pulled up the entire concrete base. Most of the panels are ripped now and getting worse. The panels are attached their side so I can't even get to them to remove downed sections in hope of saving the rest of fence. Unfortunately their garden is still just dirt so so penis drawings
