    New bathroom

    This would be a more efficient solution. https://www.diy.com/departments/polyethylene-foam-pipe-lagging-l-1m-dia-28mm/1906886_BQ.prd

    New bathroom

    If not condensation wrap some toilet paper around it and you will find out where the leak is
  5. An alternative to WhatsApp and all the others is Viber, not very well known but also very good
  6. Opera browser reduces adverts substantially. You end up with a blank page and a "skip ad" button
  7. Duckduckgo does exactly all of that except the VPN (although there is an option for it). VPN is another way people found for extorsion. Why would you want to connect to a server that you have no idea who is running it? Unless you setup your own VPN (Virtual Private Network) and you make sure it is bulletproof to hackers (good luck with that) you are just changing the thieves from free robbery to subscription robbery. Cookies cleaning along with browsing history, is something everyone should do on a regular basis and it takes little time. Finally, Opera browser (like chrome or IE) have by default one of the best ads blocker and it will always ask if you want to give permission to a site for tracking location, showing notifications, etc.
  8. This is my own process to remove earwax. IT IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION AND I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING ANYBODY TO DO IT!!!! I use 1 (clean) toilet tissue folded in half and then rolled like a cigarette and use it to clean the outer ear canal. With experience I found out the best thickness so it doesn't go too far and cleans properly (to an extend). for the inner canal I use the shower head with warm water, similar process to audiologist and once you get the hang of it you will be removing the stubborn wax. You must not try to get it 100% clean as it will be bad for your health, earwax is there for a purpose and remove it all is not a good idea. Again. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESGTION!!!!
  9. I wake up alive every morning, that is a plus... Have a job, a roof over my head and other than old age and arthritis I don't have any issues. I don't get depressed with what I don't have and always grateful for what I have
  10. www.duckduckgo.com is a search engine like yahoo and google but it doesn't install 3bn cookies to track your activity and display advertising based on your browsing history. to clear your ears the oldest and best way is to put a couple drops of virgin olive oil wait a couple hours then wash it. The olive oil will dissolve the earwax making it coming out.
  11. Google with limited information on my android account as a search engine, no. duckduckgo.com since they started have 4 email accounts (personal non work related) google one just for the phone, 2 yahoo accounts (very old ones) and hotmail for all the rubbish I want to try and then will either give up or move it to my yahoo main account. Only use chrome on work laptop as it is set by company policy. Opera on personal laptop and duckduckgo app on phone
  12. Due to announced changes to privacy in WhatsApp and the links to crapface I'm now moving to telegram and signal. I always defended that "If you don't want it to be public don't put it in the internet." and still comply with this. But times are changing and I have no patience for this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56127220
  13. Good morning. Overcast, not too cold and no wind. And I'm working from home instead of riding the bike
  14. PVA will take a while to dry. I would go for super glue instead as it dries in secs. Hot temp silicone, you can get a small tube cheap and just smear a bit on th back of the washer or gasket to hold it in place while you do the fixing.
  15. I always use moneysupermarket and compare the market websites. Then I chose the ones it will suit me and go to their websites to make sure I can get the best deal After this I will contact my current insurer to know what their best value is. I also explore (with no success) the multi bike insurance as an option. This year was the very first time I managed to renew the insurance with Grove & Dean because they lowered their price
  16. @James in Brum You should add some pics as you go along. It will make advice easier to judge what to do next and how
  17. This nobhead... Ok guys I'm new here but anyway I have a 2003 honda shadow 750 and I just got speakers to add to the bike and the output is 300 watt and RMS power handling is 150 watts but when I have my bike running and I turn the speakers on my battery drains and my bike cuts off...is there anything I can do about this or do I just need to get rid of the speakers.
  18. Which are the 2 most similar professions? Chef and brain surgeon. Sharp knives and vegetables...
  19. Install clearscore in your phone and check what it says. Alternative is credit karma of the credit monitor from moneysupermarket, both have phone apps Depends what the 797 refers to, if it is out of 1000 you won't be too bad for finance.
  20. On the opposite side of the spectrum. 2019 I went to a wee trip down south. Dinner in Prestwick. Flat tyre on the M77 20 miles south of Glasgow. Insurance 24/7 helpline was as helpful as fleas on a dog. Had to sign up to RAC because the idiots from Hodgson & McKenzie helpline couldn't give me the number for the breakdown. Stayed on the side of the motorway from 8PM to 3AM with only 1 car stopping but not helpful at all. No police, motorway assistance, absolutely nobody. Arrived home at 5:30 am then got a compensation from H&M for £250 (to cover the RAC subscription and trouble) and I don't want to hear of those tossers ever again.
  21. With so many rovers soon we will traffic jams on Mars...
  22. Back in Portugal I once stopped for a biker on the emergency layby of the motorway. 5min later there were 10 of us and the guy was just trying to put the rain jacket on
  23. 9.99 times out of 10 yes
  24. Golden rule: Always call the company before you pay for the insurance. Just got off the phone with my current insurer and got a reduction from £125 to £104. Including the breakdown cover. One thing I was told it makes a big impact in the premium is the declared value of the bike. Regardless what you say the bike is worth. You will only get paid the market value. So be sensible and go as high as you know the bike will be valued at. Not much but enough for a full tank
  25. Happy birthday twins
