  1. Sounds interesting - I'll keep an eye out for that! - - - Updated - - - Yeah - that's what they recommend for theirs
  2. My lad is training to be a chef and has decided to flash out and buy a "proper" chef's knife from https://www.blok-knives.co.uk/. As I'm a gentleman of leisure these days, I offered to drive him to Derby so he could have a chat with them. They turned out to be very nice chaps and were extremely helpful - you could choose the type of wood and colour of the handle, have bespoke pins inserted to hold it together and have your own designs laser etched onto the blade - must admit I almost wanted one myself (but not at that price!) - they showed us all round the workshop and explained how everything was made Interesting day out and such a pretty setting beside the Derwent - we popped into Darleys for some lunch too - which was yum! Beats working
  3. I do rate the Aldi Wagyu Burgers when they are in as a special - pretty good for the price
  4. Just binged the latest "Orange Is The New Black" - I think the shark is well & truly jumped there
  5. Personally I've always thought it a bit daft to store passwords etc online - what could be a more appealing place to hack? https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/01/onelogin-admits-recent-breach-is-pretty-dang-serious/
  6. Try the "Here We Go" app - its free and works offline
  7. In the spirit of "its an ill wind etc" - I have been able to visit my Dad in hospital for free over the weekend - as all the parking barriers are not working
  8. Go for it! Quite practical I spose as it won't get tangled up
  9. Just binged on Sneaky Pete - quite a fun prog
  10. Just finished binge watching 13 Reasons - excellent I thought
  11. You need to check the Share permissions too
  12. Bought some new jeans and thought...what happened to the smell that new jeans used to have? Where I werra lad, I remember Levi * Wrangler denim having a strong distinctive smell that only faded after several washes - whatever happened to that?
  13. Sad - and he was supposed to be starring in a play here in Northampton from Monday
  14. Can't you assign the DHCP reservations by MAC address - then you'd get the IP addresses you want and they'd never mes up and you just let it happen automagically?
  15. Have a gander at Google Maps and play pac man up and down your road! Excellent fun!
  16. Thanks everyone - much appreciated - looks like we'll be going to try on some Merrells!
  17. Hi - any walkers amongst you? My 20 year old is looking for some comfortable, reasonably priced footwear for doing a lot of holiday sight seeing when he goes off to Japan in the summer. He's got quite weak arches and his feet ache a lot after he's been on them for a while - so is looking for some that give plenty of support, but look OK (in a Converse lo-top type way) and are not too hot to wear as its going to be very warm and humid. Anybody got any suggestions for decent ones to go and look for?
  18. Oo - our garage is fed by a wire that appears out of the first floor back bedroom and hangs down over the outside loo - haven't managed to find out where that comes from...but it has been working OK for the last 20 odd years - hey ho!
  19. Got to be worth a quick look https://vimeo.com/206717304
  20. Convincing win by England - though I was disappointed with the match really - had been expecting a real battle, but Scotland never turned up
  21. One of my mates converted an old Army van to a camper - he used to work in a marina refitting narrow boats, so did the van in the same stylee - even with a wood burning stove in the corner for heating/cooking. He used to work through the summer and then go off to the Med for winter in the van. Alas kids mean he lives a more conventional lifestyle now
  22. I use a G4 Plus - its fine for the price - pretty nippy and a decent camera which is why I bought it
  23. My uncle likes his halogen oven too - but there is only him in his household. I don't like the combi either and use a conventional gas cooker almost exclusively - not really sure what features you're looking for that a normal oven doesn't give you??
