I really would recommend an independent optician who will measure your eye etc. They will assess your eye shape and give you the best idea of which ones will suit you best. You shouldn't have to find out for yourself by trial and error FFS! :lol: And I'm sure they would recomend dailies - they prob...

Costco ? Never thought of going there. Problem of course is that I'll end up buying commercial sized stuff that I'll never use or end up eating chicken wraps and 18" pizzas all day

All these updates that I keep reading and I never have anything to add about our Polo. Currently on 27k (65 plate). Fitted 2 new Hankook All seasons in November 21 and they do the job for us. I know they may not be the most "Evo" of tyre but they provide the reassurance of being able to co...

Had my follow up appointment for contacts last Saturday. They seemed to be more organised this time and not as rushed, which is a bonus. Had an hour sat with the lens specialist going through different options and a few more tests. After the hour I was advised to only go down the "dailies"...

Just be a bit wary of ordering varifocals online. Its tricky to measure the path of the center point of focus (not sure what the proper term is) as you look down and your eyes point in. I ended up having to go back to specsavers where it required an optician (rather than the assistants who normally...

This, although it "forgets" my Spotify connection intermittently so I have to go in to settings on Spotify and reconnect. Not done it for a few weeks so may have been fixed by an update ?

Thanks for the replies. Very interesting to read about the experiences had at Specsavers! They have recommended I try daily lenses due to my eye shape but this may be the upselling mentioned ? I'll definitely have a look online at the options available as Specsavers do seem expensive. I got a price ...

I've recently had a new eye test and my prescription has changed. I've been at the local Specsavers for years now and have always had my glasses / contacts from them. Due to a change in my prescription I'm going to get new glasses but may also get contacts instead. I have a trial fitting for lenses ...

If anyone is still interested in Forza/ Project Cars or Assetto Corsa they have soem pretty cheap at CEX etc. I picked up FM7 and Project Cars for less than £20, (and Just Cause 3 for £3!) it was a good way to use up some old vouchers I had in the wallet. https://i.ibb.co/NV1mJ9m/20220607-122252.jp...

Damn, wish I'd known this was on, I'm only 30 mins away (used to live in Macc too). Forgot you used to live over these parts Barry - think there was a thread on the old forum where you mentioned it ( Buxton Road / bottom of the C&F ?) Gawsworth Show is an annual event apparently although I'd no...

Seeing it being driven in the sun out in the sticks, it probably had the same effect it would have had in period - it even had a lack of traffic 8-) I can ...

Few pictures from yesterdays show. Never heard of it before ( although we've been to the hall previously ) and had a great variety of stuff there from random kitcars built in an old blokes shed to Ferraris and TVRs etc. Bumped into a couple of mates (red MK2 Golf & Speed (?) Yellow 996 (?) whils...

You just can't walk past an F40 without taking a quick snap

Think I saw on Instagram that that is Tom Hartley Jnr's F40 ?

Another guilty pleasure is Mat Armstrongs YouTube channel. He's improved massively over the last couple of years, where now I think his stuff is pretty slick and thoroughly entertaining. Been watching him and the Range Rover antics recently. A lot of his stuff isn't to my taste but it's always inte...

https://youtu.be/4GxtMaBAx7w He's a bloke very local to us so it's great to recognise lots of the local area and shows a good bit of variety too. Not afraid to show how much he earns on the sale of the cars as well as how much he spends getting them fixed prior to sale. I like his videos but I'm su...

...m'colleague isn't money driven. He's driven by the fact that his new employer have said that if he needs time off for his depression and suspected ADHD (which he'll be able to afford an independent assessment for soon) that he can take as much time as he needs. That's worth more than money. That...

I've got the Beam soundbar and it's great. I was originally going to buy other speakers to back it up but I don't need it. As a way to play music at decent quality without loads of gear, I'd highly recommend them. This, we bought the beam as a replacement for my big ol' cinema set up. Wanted to add...
