Currently working our way through fallout; on EP5 currently and thoroughly enjoying it. Also watching BBCs 'race across the world', much prefer the non "celebrity" version.

I've had a Corsair 620w semi modular fail 6 years into its 7 year warranty. RMA'd it and they sent a 650W equivalent. Thankfully did not take any other components with it! All of my other PSUs are still either running albeit infrequently or in spare boxes, some 10+ years old.

Some of you might recall I cancelled (1 gig volted on superhub 5)and signed up in my wives name at the same address; retentions offers were poor and meant £20+ a month saving, £50 bill credit and £60 quidco cashback. They cancelled my internet at midnight, the "new router" (hub 3 (more on this...

iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB - have owned it since launch (Q4 2021?) Prior to that had iPhone 11 128GB (owned from launch) Prior to that, had iPhone 7 64GB (owned from launch) All of which are still in the family via hand me downs, the 7 has had 3 batteries in its lifetime :). Have been SIM only for...

Another vote for 'Wet & Forget', great stuff. Have used on driveways, patios, fences, bird baths etc with great results.

Bait stations for inside. Boiling water for outside.

I was after some additional memory for my T20 and found the compatibility to be very fussy. In the end i managed to pick up a fully functional second hand Dell-T20 off that well known auction site, quite a few on there going with Xeon's, 16GB memory for sub £50. Worked out very well actually...

Three in the last 15 years, I tend to just swap components in/out. Antec 300 Corsair CM 690 II Corsair 570X RGB USB-C front panel or a 420 radiator support would be nice, but not enough reason to otherwise upgrade.

i can't speak for gravestones specifically but 'wet and forget' has worked well for me for other garden marble and concrete applications (unrelated but well on driveways, fences and patios too) Could mix a small amount in a spray bottle and leave it, practically cleans itself the more it rains...

I have a few now. Hive thermostat Eufy doorbell Tapo home plugs x8 Various Alexa devices x6 All have been perfect except one Tapo homeplug which developed a switch failure in the first 9 months, quite common on the earlier KP115 plugs allegedly.

I've not had single fischer wallplug fail in a plasterboard wall, whether it was a duopower, 6mm LDF or 10mm HDF fixing on a variety of applications, heavy mirrors, shelves etc. I did fix a 24" TV to a plasterboard wall once but opted to use some gripit fixings, which also worked well but...

Before the rain.. dug out 9m2 of grass in preparation for a new log cabin base. Quite a large collective weight.. Was not looking forward to multiple tip runs and muddying up the car; opted to list on facebook marketplace for free collection only. After the second 'is this still available'...

To my surprise, didn't receive a follow up retention call after the first one; they must have changed their retention process in the last 18 months. In the end; the wife has signed up in her name; current contract ends on the 10thth April with new contract in hers starting on the 11th. There...

Update: first retention call today, offered me £42 a month to stay. Told them to stick it (albeit politely). Was told they'd remove me from their call list; I fully expect a call later this week.

I'm now 30 days away from my current deal ending so started the obligatory cancelation of the line. Currently paying £26 a month for 1gig (broadband only) as 02 volt customer. They offered me £46 on a new contract, told them to stick it. I now await the half dozen calls from retentions until...

Sounds like a lot of agro just to find out whats doing it.. Buy some of those battery operation motion detection devices to stop it happening. If your ears are young enough to pick up the frequency, they sound horrendous but they do do a cracking job (i have multiple) of stopping cat and other...

£180 for the year (up £20 from previous year). 3 bed detached with contents and accidental cover.

Very cool thread Vince! I haven't read in its entirety but what i have seen is very techy and interesting.

I'll be picking this up for some co-op online play. Its available for £25, £10 cheaper than steam from CDkeys (but activates on STEAM).

My car has optional 'winter pack' which includes heated steering wheel and heated seats. But does not have a heated windscreen... First world problems I know! Have resorted to chucking windscreen cover over when temperatures are sub-zero. Does the job!
