Re: Bagels

I didn't even consider that someone would try and eat a bagel without toasting it.

A bagel with goats cheese and fried mushrooms is one of my favourite things.

Re: For Sells - R26 - £4500

Have you got a link to an ad? My sister's boyfriend is into Renaults and is fairly local to you. He might know someone who'd be interested.

Re: BBQs

They're made of ceramic, because of that they retain heat better than a barbeque and they are a lot more weather resistant, they can be used as a wood fired oven as well as a grill. Much better for slow cooking than a metal barbeque. They are pretty pricey but the general idea is that they'll last m...

Re: The Movie Thread

It's a slang word to describe people who are aware of and actively trying to counter the circumstances that cause the institutional and casual discrimination of minorities that can hold them back in society. Pretty much.

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.

I have a fairly specific time frame for cars that I like, mid 60's to late 90's. Basically from when they started to look like modern cars but before everything got really electronic.

I like Land Rovers but even then I'm not that fussed about having anything older than a Series 3.

Re: BBQs

Aye, I tend to buy a big lump from the butcher and cut them to size myself when we do steak but it's not cheap. Supermarkets are getting better for offering cheaper cuts that are good for sandwiches or chucking on the bbq now though. I get a cut called denver steak from morrisons that's really good ...

Re: BBQs

Due to the unique Scottish climate we don't get to barbeque a lot so the extra effort of a charcoal grill is worth it :). I liked Dave's coffee analogy, it makes sense to me having gone from ground coffee in a cafetiere to whole beans and an espresso machine over the last couple of years. Saying tha...

Re: BBQs

I want a gas bbq , but when I think about having had one in the past it was probably less convenient due to being a PITA to clean. *sigh* All the years of hard work being correct destroyed in 4 words :( What he said :lol:. If you want a barbeque get a barbeque, not a gas cooker for your patio.

Re: Decent Recent TV

Started catching up with Jessica Jones on Netflix as well. I was pretty disappointed, picked up fantastically while there was a reappearance from Season1 but that was it's only saving grace IMO. Enjoying season 5 Agents of Shield. Yeah unsure about Jessica Jones so far, it's a bit all over the plac...

Re: Harry’s Garage

I think the gap between the Rolls and a more normal luxury car has closed a lot. I was messing round in the 7 series configurator a couple of weeks ago and a lot of the tech is clearly recognisable between the two, which is a shame. It seems to have lost a lot of the simple luxury of the older Phant...

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.

Cool, that's pretty interesting (to me at least).

I wonder if anyone who owns one has asked JLR to put the Jag V8 in it now that they've done that special edition, even with the Bowler mods the diesel engine doesn't seem right :). I guess it would just be a collection piece to most people though.

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.

Ah, I didn't know Harry's was a fake one. Must've been pissed at that :). I knew Andy Bruce had one, didn't know it was for sale.

Is there just the one genuine one out in the world?

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.

Aye, it's basically whatever they can get away with. Apparently the legit Spectre ones like the one Harry Metcalfe has are £100k+.

Defenders are almost always valued too high imo. The only way you get a bargain is if you buy one that needs a lot of work or are lucky at an ex military auction.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Nope I never finished RDR for that exact reason, it felt like wild west GTA4. Same fetch mission formula that had got quite boring by the time it came out. Saying that, GTA 5 updated the gameplay enough to feel interesting again so they might have worked the same magic with this. I'm not going to be...

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.

what would/could you actually use a winch for? Towing other vehicles out of stuck situations? Tieing it round a tree and pulling yourself out of somewhere? Both, some people make a sport of trying to winch themselves over terrain that the vehicle wouldn't manage unaided. TBF, these days most Defend...
