    then surely 2 of any generic "hook" would work, as long as the hook is bigger than the grips / handlebar. https://www.toolstation.com/universal-hook/p18975?store=NR wont 2 of these work? spaced apart how you want - either just each side of the stem, like the above link, but that would need...

    What film did you watch last night?

    so good it spawns usernames... On Xbox Live I once stumbled upon a "I'm a Derek" which made me laugh.

    BMW 330e owners thoughts?

    cheers for the comments m8. Perversely that's what has put me off Beemers for the last ~10 years - I had a M135i and my local deal (at the time) was awful. curbed an alloy during a service test drive and denied it bad. My local dealer is a different group, so I should give them a visit...

    BMW 330e owners thoughts?

    i understand, and you're correct - when stopping, going down a hill, or sliding sideways, AWD/4WD falls by the wayside compared to decent tyres. but, it's not just speeding up - it's forwards traction. Every hill you do down, you then need to go back up - and spreading the drive between 4...

    BMW 330e owners thoughts?

    I think it's a "nice to have" tick-box, not a requirement - thus why the 330e is still on the table. We live in the peaks and when it gets cold the AWD can really help - this winter we returned from a break over new year and i couldn't get my VRS up our cul-de-sac or to the cattery, as the...

    BMW 330e owners thoughts?

    Any thoughts how the V60 T6/T8 compare against the 330e (touring)? My commute is ~17 miles each way, so the 18-22kWh newer PHEVs should mean I can get 80-90% of my driving through electric, and charge each night. (but I don't want to go full-in with electric as sometimes need to tow a car...

    i think they've only announced 2 new maps - 1 for S2 and a 2nd map for "after S2". So, it may just be 1 new map for the next few months...

    ——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

    personally, yes and no. some weapons like Sniper (and DMR) and LMG I'd only use with their classes, but apart from them it's open season. carbine M4A1 I'd happily use with any class - well worth a try, if you're used to smg but want a little more range. (or M87 or M1014 shotty if I'm wanting...

    Single player game recommendations

    Remnant 2 - it's a tps instead of fps, but it's v good, if you want a challenging action shooter. Borderlands series might be worth a look. B2 was great, but 3 was average. I've not tried 4, but I think it's back on form with 2.

    use next weeks re-rolls to change it? but... this sums up part of the/my issue with the present game... we're logging in and playing the game based on these challenges, choosing game modes we wouldn't normally... Are we actually enjoying the game as much as we otherwise would do, or are we...

    ——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

    And the only solid information is that instead of coming out on Jan 20th, it's now Feb 17th. Soooo... BF6 is haemorrhaging players, we're all desperate for more content, bigger maps, etc. and they delay the new content... (yes, I understand that every patch so far has just added bugs, so they...

    reroll it... get 5 rerolls each week - and can go back and reroll previous week challenges if it's something you're really unlikely to get. I instantly reroll anything redsec or guardian? modes and see what's left afterwards.

    ——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

    echo the above - I've finally managed to unlock all the items in Season1 and it's just felt like a grind going through the daily/weekly challenges. Even with the rerolls I've needed to do tasks I wouldn't choose to do otherwise, compounded by bugs causing many attempts from being recorded...

    What editing software do you use?

    it's £62 on Amazon Black Friday https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FFVL6YRT/ presently rarely touch up photos - when I do it's with the Fuji Raw Studio (or whatever it's called) to try/tweak the film simulations. This is a bit clunky and needs the camera re-plugging into the PC, so wonder about...

    **** Cancer

    Sorry to hear and I hope you're doing ok m8. It's strong of you to post publicly in he middle of it all - I couldn't - looking back now, I was potentially living life a little in denial as I couldn't consider the outcome if things went south, or perhaps I was just so busy I couldn't stop and...

    Fuji X Series

    good find at £1200 - I've not heard of e-infin before, they trusted? I'm guessing it's a grey import like Cotswold Cameras (it's a shame they've stopped Fuji). I've been waiting for Xmas bonus and had Very's 20% off on my list.

    ——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

    I was wondering if they looked at the popularity of BF3's Metro and thus felt there was a general desire for smaller maps? Big maps are nice, if you can get a vec - I can remember lots of foot-plodding between flags in BF2/3 (gulf of oman seems to ring a bell? was that the beach-landing one...

    ——The Official Battlefield 6 Thread——

    they need to somehow punish people that leave a server mid game - I find that once a team starts loosing some people log out, effectively making the loosing side even worse off. I understand we all have occasional real world reasons to leave mid game, but I'd happily back some system that...

    you can re-roll the daily/weekly challenges to remove the BR/vehicle ones, if you don't like them (but I don't know how/when the re-roll count resets - I'm hoping weekly.)
