Watched it earlier. I went from "FFS just finish the broken old BMWs you already have that you haven't touched for over a year" to "I'm fully onboard with this project" within about 5mins. As someone put it on his Patreon - " I'd watch Sreten fix a broken toaster". Whic...

I’d personally prefer to have an orangery type structure, which houses a pool, hot tub, cold plunge and gym https://www.westburygardenrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/pool-house-walled-garden-1024x576.jpg Similar to the above, but more ornate, and I’d want the option for everything to open at t...

I wouldn't bother with an outdoor swimming pool here, let alone Ireland! Quite Mind, I'm not really a fan of these sorts of places. They might look great on Insta, or on screen when they've been rented out for filming purposes, but they have zero appeal to me as a place to live. Was interesting las...

£110m jackpot tomorrow lads. I look forward to lots pictures of mega mansions and hypercars with tins of custard in the shot... I'd need a place back home... this got my interest: https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-ananda-saint-georges-avenue-killiney-co-dublin/4613671 Crank that exposure!...

Had the pulleys done on the 330 yesterday. Tensioner and idler, along with new belt obvs, and also an oil service. 18years and 136k on the original pulleys and they still weren't in too bad condition. Tensioner one is a bit noisy an the idler one a bit gritty feeling, but the main reason for replaci...

It's really not difficult to understand his point is it? Cycling UK is a charity setup to inspire people to take up cycling, "to fight climate change" (selectively quoted by me). One can therefore easily infer that their main focus or raison d'etre is centred on getting the general populou...

Some progress has been made. Following supply of a couple of additional bits of info from IDNet, I managed to get our Gigaset base station to register the service yesterday. So last night I paired the handset and tested it out - outbound calls successfully made! However, incoming not working. Comes ...

And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! I was busy all weekend, so games watched properly = 0. I did however turn on the tellybox and find that game on - about 20secs before that pass was made. I couldn't work out what the 4uck had happened :shock: until they showed the slomo :lol: . Fabulous...

And yet look at the sorts that actually do get elected

Anyone watch the Wal v Fra match? Was brilliant for the neutral - tit for tat for much of the game, but France prevailed in the end. Lots of young talent on the field from both sides as well (as also in the Eng team) so the future looks bright. And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! https://w...

That's weird - I wondered that last week. And nope:

He's too busy baiting in NP&E on PH. Which is not a healthy way to spend one's time

Thank f*** the OV9 political party isn't a thing

I’m calling bullshit. Let’s assume it’s true that it both locked on full throttle and wouldn’t shift from drive to neutral. I refuse to believe that the mechanical brakes also refused to work. I accept that - if you don’t really understand how brakes work - you could squeeze them and get everything...

Either way, shocking that they've suspended the accuser. A lot of people are complaining that it's two consenting adults, but unfortunately it's not that simple when one of them is a boss. It basically proves, should proof be needed, that if you have enough money you can basically do whatever you l...

I think what money really 'buys' you is more free time and the removal of stresses. Like others with kids, we couldn't just move anywhere, but we'd immediately go and get my wife and I new cars, throw in the job, then start to hire people to free up our time. So a chef, a gardener, a housekeeper, e...

I don’t think paying someone’s mortgage off or giving them 100k is going to turn them into Ferrari driving coke heads. It’s a gesture taking a big worry away from them and giving the people who deserve it some financial freedom. Until one half of the couple decides they don't want to do their shitt...

Being 100% honest, if I won I’d wait till I saw the money in my accounts then go see a few people who mean a lot to me and pay off houses, buy them cars, just stuff you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. without a doubt, no point being minted if your close friends and family are struggling in any wa...

Maybe I'm weird but a lot of that does nothing for me. Part of the appeal of going places for me is in planning what I want to do, myself. And as mik says, sod sharing that experience with others (apart from maybe the wife)
