Indeed. Hopefully that'll do that trick. I'm still unsure about dumping some poison in the wall as I don't really want a dead rat (which I think it is) stinking the place out if it dies in there.. tricky one. The *new* poisons are desiccating, so they dry the bodies out and (theoretically) don't st...

I'm not proud to admit I have given up on humane methods of dealing with mice, so it's poison and sticky traps all the way. I used to be far more sympathetic to their cause, but I fucked up a few years ago. We were redoing our kitchen and I brought a roll of Rockwool into the house that had been in ...

I've always been on a bit of a sticky wicket with the TVR. It has always not only popped and banged like a good'un, but also attracts attention at night thanks to clearly visible flames. First time we went for a drive (you, Mudge and I in Cerb 4.5, Z3M Coupe and VXR8 respectively) I remember giggli...

I've always been on a bit of a sticky wicket with the TVR. It has always not only popped and banged like a good'un, but also attracts attention at night thanks to clearly visible flames. I've been tugged at three times for noise over the years (plus one which was for speed, when they raised the issu...

Honestly my supplementation got out of hand! I was taking Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Ashwagahnda and Vitamin C & D but at the end of the day, that's all completely pointless without testing. Who do you use for testing? I was using Medichecks, but I heard that their reputation had taken a bit of a k...

Oh, and also to add - restless leg is sometimes an iron deficiency. Might be worth trying a folic acid supplement (improves iron uptake) as well as a iron one (if you think your diet might be short)

I was using CBD when I was training for the bouldering competitions are couple of years ago and found it pretty effective as an anti-inflammatory/muscle recovery aid. Without it, strength training every other day was a *bit* too much. Pecs and deltiods constantly sore, lats and traps prone to knots/...

Does it count as a convertible if there's no roof at all?

Three lockups - one just for car and part storage, one for small roadcar jobs, one for non-car storage Two proper workshops - mostly for racecar stuff, but I try and keep a space free in one for bigger roadcar jobs. One shipping container - was being used for "dirty" car storage (e.g. stri...

Well. There has been some progress, thanks to Scott's line-out voltage suggestion. The story is a little more complicated than I laid out above, but in short - I never used the sub-out terminal from the Yamaha because it appeared to be dead and I assumed it was broken. Therefore the sub was driven f...

If you don't mind fan noise, any of the big name commercial amps should work for you - Electro-Voice and Crown XTi tend to be my default brands when doing commercial installs. If you don't mid spending a bit more (or need something silent) the Audio Control RS1000 is great. Jim - as mentioned above...

Ive used the Matrix amps that Chris used to have. He had a 2 channel Matrix UKP2100 SMPS for powering the 18" subs. We could run these at full chat hours and they barely sniffed. 1050W per channel. Ran 2 x18" drivers on two channels to much loudness. Zero distortion and take a lot of powe...

@Nefarious No real idea - that's more like pub/nightclub weaponry you are after. :lol: Something like this? They have one UK distributor who doesn't list it but could presumably get one? edit : baws - I missed that the RMS power quoted is 500w :roll: It's exactly stuff like that I've half-heartedly...

While we're talking about audio stuff, I would gladly accept a recommendation for a new amp to power my sub. It's an old generation 12" Cerwin Vega stroker - 4 ohms, and rated to 1200W RMS (I think), although in reality it's more like 1500/2k. As mentioned above the 500W Reckhorn barely tickles...

For those using digital sources, upgrading to a third party DAC is, IMO, the single best value overall improvement to the system - clearer, brighter and somehow meatier sound. I used to have a Beresford Caimen (?) which I paid about £100 for new about 15 years ago. But my brother "borrowed"...

From Zonda's thread a couple of weeks ago Fine dining-wise - Martin Wishart is the best in town, but do expect a wallet kicking The Gardeners Cottage is good too. Also see the Lookout (same people/menu as GC, but with views) Noto on Thistle street is good too if you like the small plates style Tom K...

Thank you for reminding me that my hifi needs attention. I'm still running a pair of B&W 602 S2s and a pair of 603 S2s, coupled with my massive Cerwyn Vega 12" stroker in a home-built in-wall enclosure. All run off a pair of Arcam Alphas, a Yamaha something receiver, and a Reckhorn power am...

I'm mildly shocked that the media are playing the by-election results as "a game of two halves". By anyone's measure, the Tories got a right royal shoeing, and it was via only single-issue campaigning against what is effectively their own clean air policy that saved them total and utter hu...

They can be real arseholes on valuations. When the TVR got a minor bump, the insurance didn't want to know about repairs and moved straight to discussing write offs. Despite me presenting evidence of 6-7 currently for sale around the £30k mark, and having professional valuations of £28k and £28.5k, ...
