Isn't the whole "offense" thing WRT the message itself a bit of a red herring? Nobody was "offended" when Trump tweeted about Liberate Virginia and 2nd amendment rights, but it did encourage a lot of twats to grab their AR-15s and block ambulances getting to hospitals. Surely the...

Just because some group has used one well known phrase for their lingo, doesn't mean everyone else should stop using it, especially when many others don't know the link. It’s all about context. You can tell someone to go home. But you can also use it to be massively racist. And that’s what people w...

I put the roof onto the playhouse over the last few weeks, I started with some felt which just looked a bit naf (not helped by me buying light grey felt).... so I thought I’d try and improvise some rustic shingles from the old front fence panels that I took down the other day. I still need to do th...

A wine expert I am not, but I've tried an Eileen Hardy chardonnay and it tasted amazing to my "rarely spend over £10/dislikes chardonnay" palatte https://www.laithwaites.co.uk/product/Eileen-Hardy-Chardonnay-2016/2386016 (can't guarantee that's the exact one I tried) ETA - just noticed the...

Bit of an unusual one this - we saw a recipe for nettle soup in one of my son's magazines so decided to give it a try and go foraging in the field/woods behind the house. https://i.imgur.com/nTjKJxz.jpg After spending ages finding ones that hadn't flowered (not good for you apparently) I became a b...

Should've really thrown my own into the ring 2, sometimes 3 - mostly down to an old (and at the time misdiagnosed) ankle break, which makes me walk unevenly, which in turn leads to knee and toe issues. And doing stupid things - I generally have a steady stream of minor aches from completely avoidabl...

I’ve been mulling over getting rid of the 3 series and getting a luxobarge of some sort. Maybe get an LS400 to go with the landcruiser :lol: I'll be selling the Jag after lockdown's over if you fancy a bit of supercharged v8 waftiness I’ve been looking at them too. Has it been reliable(ish)? I don’...

Bit of random research out of general curiosity, and given the sample on here is mostly 30 and 40-something men. How much do various bits and pieces hurt on a daily basis? 1 - Not all all. If a shoulder/hip/knee/back etc starts to hurt, I go straight to the GP/physio 2 - A bit, occasionally. Not muc...

Good work. Now get some outdoor stain/varnish on the new bits and jobs a good'un

Interesting, but does it really makes any difference? We're essentially just copying other countries further ahead than us at this point. It very much does because if the study is wildly inaccurate as to the effect of the spread of the disease it feeds into the debate about the efficacy and timing ...

The app is being written so it can’t & doesn’t harvest any data. The data being generated & shared app to app is all anonymised . That's the whole point of this centralised approach (as opposed to the Google/Apple model). The data (unique ID, coupled with your postcode, plus all the interac...

Under the circumstances, surely our government won’t be doing anything under-handed with any data collected? Twitter does seem to be full of posts suggesting that the app T&Cs aren’t very clear-cut, but you know, its Twitter... Difficult to be specific about what nefarious purposes they might h...

What made the government develop their own app for contact tracing rather than tying in with Google & Apple to get their one? I saw something a while back that they thought the joint app wouldn’t be ready in time and wanted to take control of notifications centrally rather than enabling it on d...

Now...what vehicle could this find a home in? https://scontent-lhr8-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/95688412_560804384572795_8970169953680359424_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=8024bb&_nc_ohc=RtPVGgJSaC0AX-U8rZJ&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr8-1.xx&oh=9f90fcabe3a48e5fff5e01ac7b6a9252&oe=5ED3FA6B Pratt &a...

Apologies to Mik for piggybacking on his thread, but if anyone has any recommendations for an amp to power my Stroker sub - stated 1000W (but really considerably more) and 4 ohm - that'd be great. I bought one of these - https://reckhorn.com/en/amplifier/204/a-802-amplifier-for-subwoofer-and-bass-sh...

I think I'd vote for repair as well. I always loved my 3240PE and now kinda regret letting it go (sold to Ross of this parish several years ago). I replaced it with a pair of Arcam Alpha 9s, which were a definite quality upgrade (sound lovely with my B&W 602/603 combo). Now I've got the sub as w...

Buying some more property. Hopefully I can mitigate the financial reaming of the lockdown by picking up some places at knockdown prices. Holiday-wise, we're supposed to be doing our annual French chateau thing in early August, and have already paid for the snazzier-than-usual place, but I suspect th...
