A collection of accurately sized blocks of hard steel. Used in machine setups where you need to know precise dimensions, and in combination with a sine bar to set angles. Blocks can be stacked to get whatever dimension required by 'wringing' them together - meaning they will stick to each other simply because they are so precisely flat and smooth. Should be handled with gloves to avoid contaminating the surfaces.

To be fair I was in two minds whether to go for imperial but then I thought we are in the 21st century so... Maybe I'll look for a s/h imperial setI used to use imperial slip gauges to align steam turbines once upon a time. Not whatever that metric monstrosity is though

Couple of books. That Fat Duck Cookbook is one seriously big and heavy tome.

What are the recipes like, asking for a bang average cook? Will you be making eggs and bacon ice cream or concoctions like that?

It's actually more of a Heston and Fat Duck history book with added recipes. Whilst it does have a load of recipes in there, they're Heston recipes and I don't think I'd even dare to attempt any of them in my meagre kitchen. I think it does have the bacon ice-cream recipe, and it definitely has the snail porridge but here's one quick example.

The MacBook Air is supposed to yes if that’s what you’re referring to but I’ve no idea if mines ever done it. It’s never skipped a beat

Not the desktop Mac, and like Jimmeh, said, it's really only the MBA and it takes about 10mins for it to throttle. 10mins of sustained load is quite long for the average user who is just surfing or even editing photos. The time where sustained load hit for me is when exporting an entire collection of hundreds of photos at once.
Or gaming, but I don’t play AAA games on mine.
Android tablets, the made up spec of RAM is getting ridiculous. £30GB and 20GB
Those images are 320x180 for me. Can’t see a thing!
Early access to the pumpkin spice, so ordered myself a decaf.
Iqunix Magi65 arrived finally from China. Will take a little to get used to the change over the Logitech K380 I've been using in the mean time. Initial thoughts is that it is very smooth and silky.
Will run the Mac modifiers as I use my keyboard more for work which is Mac (works fine in Windows). Hooked up with the 2.4hz dongle.

You got a case, I didn't get a case with mine! (but I did get the "pro" version with the side buttons)

squint is mint !
j/k must be stupid setting with the free postimages site, got a video up comparing the two on YouTube. The £100 pounds tablet is actually good. The £65 one now back to Amazon....I wonder what do they do with those junk
Yea probably due the the non pro being more portable.
New Internets.
Looks good, shame about the uploaded speed xD
I didn’t realise BTOpenreach offered speeds above 900mbs. The fibre has been run where I live and the checker says “available to order soon” so I’m hoping that changes soon. How does it compare to the speeds you had before?
Was going to ask if that was Virgin or not. Those speeds are mega. How times have changed.
Just checked the OpenReach site, apparently they’re developing full fibre in my area at the moment, one to watch.
