I want a new one though, I have a phone I could put a cheap SIM in, the wife has one, but I like taking pics and the camera specs have improved enough to make it a worthwhile endeavour, and it makes no sense paying more for the phone buying it outright than taking a contract, saving 200 and getting 100gb and unlimited calls and texts. Which leads me back to the major networks who are prepared to take the eyes out whilst using the cheaper proxies to mop up the budget end, never used to be like that.

When did getting a new mobile phone become so expensive and time consuming, the major carriers are royally taking the proverbial. O2 wanted 50 a month and they are crap, I've eventually got it down to 30 and cheaper than just buying the phone outright which is mad

Granddaughters 16th birthday, out for Indians and a few drinks, so far so good, back to her house for cake, still all good. Father in-law having a operation, mother-in-law decided to drop her phone down toilet, FFS, he can't call her, she's managed to call him to call us to sort something out but we've all had a drink...............fecking old people

Yes in the for sale section

Congratulations

Well done and good luck

Slightly tardy late birthday wishes from me

Yes and I've been sat next to the toilets which stank

That's easy they are twats

Herd mentality, spurred on by the desperation to get some space in an overhead locker.

I had that with my boiler, water got through flow switch, into cable, dropped down PCB and bang wasn't funny at time.

Can bus diagnostic stuff is coming down in price and if you need to buy a good diagnostic tool it will save it's own value pretty quickly if your ok using it. Friend had a new gearbox replaced under warranty in his range rover, at a specialist independent service centre authorised by jlr, it was replaced under warranty, the car rejected the transplant and it was stuck on one of their ramps for 3 days whilst the official jlr specialist trouble shooting team tried to get the gearbox to talk to the car, I believe in the end they had to reprogram half the ECU's on the car, technology ehhh.

New ? Honda Nx500 Could also go dct and have easy riding auto changes.,

Heat pumps, you have to laugh..... Just been reading an article where a couple who were one of the first to install an air source heat pump 20yr ago are now facing a 17000 bill to replace it, they are in a huff as they can't get the 7k grant as it's not a new install. They paid 10k in the first place Gov spokesman defended the technology saying home owners could save £100.00 a year due to efficiency savings So save £100.00 a year, 20yrs that's 2k, Now I'm not great with maths but that don't seem like a great saving to me

Just had a notification from my bank for guess what,,,,,, the clocks are going forward, really from the bank.

I'm a bit full myself

You can afford one there are some absolute bargains to be had, wanting one is another thing

It's probably one of those dehydrated ones, open packet put on grass, wait till it rains, in UK that's usually 10 seconds or so...

Electric e bikes do catch fire and I think have been responsible for deaths due to fire spreading https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/mar/09/unexploded-bombs-call-for-action-after-11-deaths-in-uk-due-to-e-bike-fires Definitely a thing I guess it's where you park and charge it that's the biggest risk.

Yup wait for first frost and by the time you get to -10 it's glorious There are parts that are fairly midge free though

I'm currently investigating a lighter tent for the backpack, sub 1kg that can cope with Scottish mountain diversity. The older I get the more weight becomes an issue.

Def 1-0 and made me and the wife laugh. The wife has a completely irrational fear of the little buggers and no matter what I say she invariably goes into a blind panic with the usual outcome of getting stung. Last time was in turkey with a particularly large bugger, it landed on her in bed, don't move I said, nope she leapt out of bed fell over, trapped the poor bugger in the process leaving it no other options other than stinging her and so it did, no helping some folk.

I agree with it all we live near dual carriageway and by near I mean several streets away and in the warmer months all you hear in the morning is idiots screwing bikes in first and second, I would pay for one of those decibel cameras We also have some phantom rider who likes to hoon around about 2am on a weekend I would pay for them to be shipped to the front line in Ukraine where they could make as much noise as they wanted

I wouldn't mind visiting my old school but I suspect slapping 1200 kids would he frowned upon
