I’m going to invest in something smart for the winter and swallow my distaste for Zwift. I've got the Elite Direto direct drive and it's very good, although it is my first trainer so nothing to compare it with. Halfords quite often have offers on cycling gear and with a discount they were offering ...

8-) I remember seeing an M Compact in BMW Magazine about 15 years ago, but it was one of the tuner specials. Was either Hartge or Racing Dynamics. Never knew there was an official M Compact. I’m sure I remember one which was done in army green colour I saw at a local dealer about 20 years ago. Same...

Hosting wise we've been using VIdahost (now Tsohost) for years and they've been brilliant - top notch customer service, good pricing and really, really good technical support.

Backup your phone.... Wipe it and set it up as a new phone.... See if issue is still there. If issue is gone, you can either restore your backup and see if that works (depends where the software issue is). Or just reinstall apps and content which is a PITA but that's life. If issue remains after a f...

Apple tech people are still just tech people who have to follow scripts, run certain tests in a certain order to diagnose faults in order to offer suggestions and/or replacements Its just the same as IT always has been, except now, nearly every adult has an incredibly complex, powerful handheld devi...

The genius is suggesting a new battery (why ? It charges and hold a charge and the diagnostic has it running at 89%) or doing a full restore as a brand new phone (which I don't want to try unless I have to as it'll take a age to re-download 100GB of music) anyone come across similar - any suggestio...

We've bought a few for the races after years of hiring them, but as has been mentioned, best bet would be to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about to understand how powerful a model you'll actually need in the real world. My limited experience running a variety of stuff off them makes...

Have started Lost In Space but after a few episodes I'm finding the whole thing a bit, "twee" for want of a better word. A lot of the jeopardy also seems very manufactured in a very unimaginative way. And already some of the stupidity of the characters is doing my nut. Does it get any bett...

I've got no issue with slowburners normally but Westworld really didn't get under my skin at all. Odd because it should be right up my street. I'll give it another crack at some point. My reaction was the same as yours at first, then it just clicked with me and I couldn't get enough. Part of the pr...

Westworld is just incredible, that latest episode was just wonderful television. I really, really need to download season 1 and watch it all again as there’s just so much going on. One thing though, the native Americans “painting” themselves white, was that an actual historical thing that happened a...

I saw a light blue Bentayga today. After marvelling at the size of its rear tyres I was then struck by what a hideous piece of tarted-up bling the air itself was. I shall assume the same observation would apply to the driver of said car, but boy does it just sum up everything that's wrong with "...

My son was showing me the trailer for this last night in a very excited fashion and I have to say it looks like being a bobby dazzler.

Local news is great sometimes. I love the fact they've put a big picture of Robert Downey Jr in the story. It reads like something Alan Partridge would report on.

God rest his smutty soul.

(I thought he was already brown bread so as that was the first thing on the news this morning I was properly confused for a minute).

I swear by JVC Air/Gumy or something for running in all weathers. They're about £15, ultra cheap, come with lots of different sizes of things to fit your lugs and are utterly bomb-proof.

The conversation with the wife went as expected when she asked why we'd ended up with £600 less than expected. She still insists it was other kids who kerbed the alloys and then ran off. And as for the bumped doors and scraped boot sill, that was definitely down to the cats or atmospheric conditions...

Seriously, who the actual fvck is buying these things? The X6 was bad enough, but then to see Merc copy it and now Audi? Is it some sort of man-child fascination and insecurity about having never done the Paris-Dakar, that they want to pretend they're doing it while on the school run?

Salad cream and salt with chips is braw. Who's forcing this, can we blame the EU or just the same bunch of cvnts who are forcing women on to every tv and radio show so they can be seen to be embracing gender equality, when what they're actually doing is diluting the quality/funniness of said shows. ...

Much sharper to drive than before, much more aggressively styled, the Z4 at last has potential to rival a Boxster. Source: http://www.evo.co.uk/bmw/z4/21305/new-2019-bmw-z4-review-first-drive-of-z4-prototype I'm starting to get even more cynical about this and the futility of the car industry, maga...

Is it a Cooper S ? Cooper D. And its now gone... Used WBAC in the end and it was a painless process. They bought our XC90 and their offer actually increased when they saw the car. This time round that was never going to happen given the hard life the car has had, but the deductions were fair enough...
