    Verdict on HP X24c Gaming Monitor, 1500R Curved Gaming Monitor

    Hi all I am looking to see if any of you are using this monitor? Looking at buying a couple of them for my partner's son's 18th. He isn't particularly interested in 4k gaming or larger monitors as his room has him sit fairly close to the monitors and he mostly plays Minecraft and streams...

    Best "true" WiFi mesh system

    Second vote for BT Whole Home WiFi here. I had some Devolo powerline plugs and my standard 2.4/5GHz serving much of my house. I was using the powerline plugs in my office where my laptop and main pc reside. When they started to get flaky of late I moved my main PC onto the MESH by plugging into...

    Any vegetarians/vegans in here?

    In an attempt to bring the thread back on topic; I've been vegetarian for about 7 months now and cook with a lot of Quorn and tofu. A lot of Thai, Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean dishes. Like you, I use a lot of beans like cannellini beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, butter beans and the like...

    Bathroom ceiling speakers

    I have a Monitor Audio C180 T2 in my bathroom. It's a stereo ceiling speaker and I am sure back in when I bought it I researched that it was moisture resistant. MA's website state it is ideal for bathrooms and I can confirm it is. I built a back box for it and lined it with fire retardant...

    Are you a dirty minger?

    There are days when I will shower/bath three times depending on what I am up to. I cant bear leaving the house without showering so will shower before Parkrun, bath/shower when I get back and if I am going out that evening, shower later in the afternoon. The ladygarden comment had me in...

    Parkrun

    I am at about 41 Parkruns now with a PB of 23:57; I have now started doing longer distances and have done a couple of 10Ks and got some 10K trail runs coming up (Cartmel this weekend:)). Next step is half marathon for me; doing the Great North Run in Sept but may do one before then too. I used...

    Spices and jars

    I have two of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008KYGLOM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in my cupboard. One fits nicely infront of the other within the depth of the cupboard. My most often used herbs and spices are in the front and the less often in the back. They're...

    'Poacher hunting big cats' mauled to death by lions in South Africa

    I wonder if the irony of the situation popped into his mind, if for a fleeting moment; before thinking, "The whole world is going to laugh at this and not mourn my passing one bit..."

    Repairing a window ledge with wood filler

    Will Unika sealant be stable across such a wide gap; in the first image, the gap is around 1cm?

    Repairing a window ledge with wood filler

    Appreciate the feedback guys. Would love to rip out and renew but I have recently had the walls plastered and skimmed, I think it would damage the wall underneath the window ledge. Fairly happy with a 'rustic' look to be honest and have got a couple of strips of flat beading that will cover it...

    Repairing a window ledge with wood filler

    A friend has recommended just putting sealant in the gap and then covering over with quadrant (either UPVC or wood); reckon that could work?

    Repairing a window ledge with wood filler

    Another one for you guys, if you don't mind please The window side of this window ledge is really badly damaged (I assume by the guy who installed them years ago). I have dug out old filler/sealant and wonder if I can just fill these gaps with a wood coloured filler? My intention is to sand...

    Prepping a door for varnish

    Hi guys Wonder if you can recommend some advise on what will get this gunk off the door so that I can sand it down for varnishing? The door used to be covered in white gloss and I used a heat gun to remove the paint. I have been left behind by this brown residue and don't know if it is part of...
