We've used Tado on the rentals in similar replacements.

This. I have Netatmo stuff and it's brilliant

iirc as easy to nick as modern keyless entry stuff, except the technology required to get into them was- half a tennis ball


The steering column key on my above noted SuperStrada felt really loose. You needed the key to open the door, but I joked one day that I reckoned I could start the car ...

I love Haggis. The best ones I remember were bought from a butcher in Forres back when I lived in McScotland.

You can shove your neeps though. Bloody awful things. Mash and garden peas accompanying the main event.

Bell Lighting do one will a replacement light source that's a good bit of kit.

I never really desired an Astra 16V - by all accounts their handling was poop - but they were the fastest (in a straight line) hatch of their day.

I can't see one however without being reminded of a mate. We weren't super close but we ...

I followed a Fisker the other day and thought it looked smart and more compact than I'd imagined. I liked it.

I got taxed by a restricted hours thing in Ealing last year. Tiny signs designed to catch people out. Especially when you don't know the area.

Thread resurrection time......

I've got fed of our broadband supply struggling to hit 50-60mbps and having no other options I'd been considering Starlink. When they were offering recon kit for £200 I took the plunge. It was delivered the other day and I installed it today. It's temporarily in the ...

And I'd have a nice coffee or tea almost every time

Everything was delivered this morning at 8.30am and set up sharpish

As expected the TV looks bloody great and I'm liking the Ambilight. It's amazing how thin the panel is.

The Naim sounds fabulous and feels beautifully built so I'm very happy.

The speakers in it are Focal which are supposed to be superb. I can't wait to get it set up and give it a blast. I'm certainly no audiophile like some of you so it may be wasted on my ears

That looks reassuring expensive.

Yes. It is a little but it suits my needs and sounds superb (allegedly).

DYELU?

Yes. This place has a special in my heart 😂 I'm indecisive enough with these sorts of purchases to then have numerous different options on the table.

Demo'd, liked, ordered, done 👍
Demo'd? You're not supposed to test stuff, you're supposed to order blindly!!!!


In my defence I ...

Excellent. They're lovely things. Hope it's a peach!

I have gone against forum convention and ordered a Philips 55OLED808 TV for the hall without seeking validation. I saw one in Richersounds and it looked great. Seems to get good reviews too.

@Holley... I hold you partially responsible for this :lol:
