    Patio railing… pricing

    My sister in law and her husband had to get railings for the same reason. They’re on a hill with a sloping garden and their patio has a 1.5m drop. They have two small children so needed to get the railings to stop the inevitable. They went for glass and it looked great albeit came at a cost...

    Fantasy Footie 25/26

    Yep, I’ve hit the wall slightly with very average weeks. I think it’s partially due to my chip strategy which meant I lost a bit of ground over a few weeks. Hoping my chips over the next 4 weeks turn things around.

    The Footie Thread

    Lifted from X but an interesting article into the Chelsea affair especially when you contrast it to the penalties applied to both Forest and Everton.... How Chelsea's Sanction Agreement brings Premier League consistency issues into sharp focus Between 2011 and 2018, Chelsea Football Club made...

    robotic vaccum

    I did a load of research on this about 12 months ago and ended up with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro which I got a good deal on via Amazon's Black Friday. It's excellent, has a little dock so it cleans its mops with hot water, it replaces the dirty water with clean and empties itself. I have it...

    The Footie Thread

    I think it goes to show the whilst the EPL might not be the best league that it's been hyped up to be it's easily the most competitive. PSG, Barca, Real and Bayern probably have no more than 6-8 really competitive games a season, the rest are against sides they'd expect to beat 99 times out of...

    The all things EV chat thread

    I'm with Octopus and have the Octopus Go tariff that gives me 5 hours every night at 8p per kWh and that's pretty much the only time I charge. There is Intelligent Go as well which might be worth looking at although your car and/or charger has to be compatible (mine is not). Their website allows...

    The all things EV chat thread

    Like you say, very depends on your driving style as much as anything. I've had the Ioniq 9 for a couple of months now, its stated range is 311 miles. During the colder periods I was getting 260 although the warm week we had last week I was just about at 300 so not far off what they claim.

    The Footie Thread

    I'll hold my hands up, when the deal was done I thought we'd gone for the wrong option. I would have gone for Martinez as I felt in that particular position we needed experience (especially PL) rather than someone could be world class but could also be a dud and not hack the pressure. In an...

    The Footie Thread

    It'll be interesting to see how the summer window goes given the WC however my opinion is that very little will get done beforehand so if Carrick weren't offered the job there is time for a new manager to come in and sort out potential signings. The window opens on the 15th June which is after...

    The Footie Thread

    Big shout out to Lammens who had an excellent game especially with the number of corners. On that topic though, you would have thought that after corner number 6 Everton would have tried a different tactic and actually give their attackers a little more space and see if that works rather than...

    Random Irritations

    No one really knows as there's nothing in the Highway Code, the local rule is that whoever gets to the give way first has right of way and you just rely on people being sensible!! Nobody ever goes round it, you just plough straight across when you think it's your turn. The most recent argument...

    A square about. No body knows how to use it and it doesn't appear in the Highway Code. Stop....Go....Stop....Go....Wave....Close eyes and proceed.....

    Driver Shafts

    Oddly my end fitting was the opposite of yours, I have the ultra light shaft but the recommended head was 12 degrees. I'll stick with my present driver for the time being and just experiment with the new shaft as funds don't allow a change just on a whim!!
