The dog or the sofa?

mmm, nothing screams cold, uncomfortable and dull quite like a brown leather sofa.

Haha we wanted a fabric one which was the same as the footstool, but these stupid dogs shed fur like they want to be bald like me, and it's so stiff and wirey that it clings to everything.

Annoying really that we had to spend twice as much for something we didn't want

It was this one

https://www.wayfair.co.uk/furniture/pdp/world-menagerie-tejas-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-70-bmh1645.html

Shows as out of stock though, also we only paid £270 so not sure why it's now double!

There are some similar looking ones though.

Thanks, @Marvt74 - appreciate the price info, too, good to know.

I think i'll stick in a picture of a young Christina Hendricks in next - and see how much she costs

I found this hack a few months ago watching some finance channel. Wish i'd known it sooner.

Either that's a midget door, or your ceilings are incredibly high?

Managed to get my hands on a Brand new, still sealed in shrink wrap Voodoo 3500! The seller was brilliant, big outer box, triple bubble wrap, and clear plastic to protect the shrink wrap! I'll never be able to bring myself to open this beauty!

Haha think it must be perspectiveas the ceiling is just above what you can see. They are fairly high as it's an old house, but only around 9ft.

Do you have sort of fetish for old graphics cards?

Siliconslave · 9 Oct 2020 at 16:15

step 1 buy shrink wrapping machine
step 2 buy boxes of collectors items
step 3 ...
step 4 profit

He'd have to be careful if he does, all bodily fluids are conductive.

That’s why he’s so pleased with the bubble wrap and shrink wrap!

Just moved into my first house and always wanted a Ring doorbell but also planning on getting the exterior camera/floodlight as well for the back of the house.

I actually forgot about this for months having previously made a mental note to replace...

Noticed one day the extension green lights for surge protection going into the desk setup were out, a quick google revealed once the light is out or dim it's time to replace the extension as it's no longer providing surge protection. How do people check surge protection status on outlets and extensions without an indicator??

^^ These are around 8 years old so a quick search on Amazon later I found a 12 gang socket designed for server cabinets but usable around the home. Some reviews stated various sockets wouldn't allow anything to be plugged in, possible QC issues etc but I found the same one on the Kenable website for a few quid cheaper and once it arrived, all sockets worked fine, no buzzing which was something else a couple reviews mentioned either. Nice that it's modular, you can swap around the brackets and the side the power inlet cable goes into.

Was this the Power Distribution Unit 12 Way UK Plug 19 Vertical PDU to C20 Plug?

Take it you just use a C20 to UK plug adapter?
