    What do non Sky or Virgin subscribers do to record / pause live TV?

    I just don't see the need for pausing live TV anymore. I'll either watch it live if I have to (because it's sport or whatever) or I watch it catch up. I've completely the cut the cord on sky / virgin and just make do with freeview and our family's 2 favourite streaming services Netflix and Disney +

    LG OLED 2023 Thread - A3, B3, C3, G3

    Best not to use any kind of product whatsoever unless you really need to. If you're just doing general maintenance cleaning, then water is fine. Here's what to do: 1. Get 2 microfibre cloths. Nice and soft, look in the car cleaning section as a tip to get nice ones. 2. Get your first cloth...

    SPEEDING UK

    This is a lesson you learn with age. I mentioned in my post above I've been caught multiple times before, but haven't been caught in at least 10 years. Very rarely does deliberately attempting to do significantly higher speed than the general flow of traffic get you any further unless you're...

    SPEEDING UK

    I have unfortunately had multiple speeding tickets in my past. Every time I have been caught by a police officer in a marked car - i was followed and pulled over and asked to step in the car and given the paperwork there and then. If you watch any of the reality TV about police (police...

    Can I get any better then a Playstation 3?

    depends if you have a 4k tv and intend to buy any 4k blurays. Obviously PS3 won't do 4k. You'd need a PS5 for that

    Road Tripping in the USA!

    I went into getting price quotes as thinking it was like a hire car. One companys mid size is essentially the same as the other. Just pick the cheapest place with good enough feedback. But with RVs, they're probably the cheapest because you're renting an empty RV and they are expecting you to...

    Road Tripping in the USA!

    We considered this - but what stopped us was a lot of rental places don't offer fully killed out campervans. You have to bring your own bedding etc.. which if you're flying and then getting straight onto the campervan can mean you need to bring everything with you. When renting- check what...

    Solar panel production figures

    How much has solar panel efficiency improved over the years. Currently house hunting and looking at a 9 year old house that came with solar panels from new. Sufficient advance in technology to make new ones worth it or not enough to justify the cost of replacing them ?

    Blocked drain advice.

    Have you tried a bit of DIY jetting ? Call a plumber out and if they can't get a rod to it - they'll stick a hose pipe down there with a fancy attachment on it to use water to shift the blockage. Could have a go yourself and try unclipping pipes at various points to try and get as close to the...

    VW golf Mk6 or Mk7 (my sister's) passenger rear window failure (electric ) mechanism noise (sounds like something is stuck)

    I would say it depends how much your time and money is worth. If it's going to take them 2 hours - bank on it take you at least double that. You'll need to remove the door cards which are held in place by plastic clips -You will break a few unclipping the door card so so do yourself a favour and...

    Selling my car. No patience

    Autotrader price tracker will tell you what you already suspect - right now a lot of people are tight on money and aren't splashing their cash on expensive new cars or houses. Right now it's a buyers market, not a sellers one. Combine the rush in car prices with the parts shortages during...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    embargo date is up for the Porsche Macan EV. Internet comments are full of typical internet commenter BS but for me it looks a no brainer. The porsche macan target new customer is the yummy mummy brigade who want something with a designer badge and a luxury interior to drive the kids back and...

    Snow chains or Socks for Tyres

    Assuming you're anywhere in the UK other than up in the cairngorm mountains, chains are just ridiculous. For the 1 day it snows, if you can't just stay at home and have somewhere to be and have to drive in it - just get winter tyres. The difference is massive in a bit of light snow compared...

    The "Top Gear", Season 24/25/26 thread

    Top gear experimenting with some kind of online only format and moving away from the TV show ? This latest episode on their youtube channel has a feel of the old show about it the way the 2 presenters go back and forth. I enjoy jack as a presenter, just get chris harris on it and i'm sold...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    Almost certainly not within the power of the parent. The footage will be owned by the met police. It's them that would decide to release it or not (likely with suitable approvals which may or may not include the parent)

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    I think something we're all forgetting here is the parent. It was the parent that called the police. Let's re-read the article: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/27/met-police-officer-tasered-10-year-old-girl-twice-misconduct-hearing-told?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other "she was a safe...

    The year is 1983. The police officer is called to a report of a disturbance at a domestic property. upon entering the house they are greeted by a parent who is concerned about the behaviour of their 10 year old child who is acting aggressively and has a pair of garden shears and is threatening...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    Now you're just cherry picking words and taking them out of context. Nowhere did I say they should stand by and do nothing and gather evidence. I repeatedly said they should try and intervene and diffuse the situation without resorting to the use of a taser. How did the police deal with this...
