Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

8 new radiators, (plus kitchen, 2 x bathrooms, flooring, lighting etc.). Refurbishing an apartment for a move back to EU next year. May post other pics as items arrive, are installed. Being managed from 6000 miles away.

This one is 1800mm x 556mm to be mounted vertically.

I'd love to upgrade my house with dark radiators, great looking and more thermally efficient too.

not sure you’d see any increase in efficiency because of colour

Incorrect. Gloss white is an extremely poor radiator of heat. Matt black perfect.

Radiators really work by convection, the colour will have minimal difference to heat output.

They work in multiple ways, convection being the main but radiation and conduction of heat also present.

Not tried these before, what they like? I usually get me and my boy the Dandelion and Burdock ones

Just as good as Curiosity Cola one I'd say but with that zing of cherry. You can pick up single bottles at Waitrose/Sainsbury's etc though so check one out I'd say!

Dark colours absorb and emit energy more readily than light colours. Comparatively, light colours reflect more energy back into the heating system whereas dark colours emit more into the room.

With regards to efficiency, an increased rate of heat transfer into the room is more efficient than reheating warm water i.e higher driving forces.

Fairly sure that this is an accurate answer, but I have had several beers so may be wrong .

Got some new batteries for my incoming HP Reverb G2 controllers.

Batteries any good? Where from?

Not used them yet but they are well rated. From Aliexpress.

Fender Broadcaster 70th Anniversary

Some badges made for the 86’ 16v GTi when it’s finished.

I wasn’t able to find a NOS item so these will have to do.

wow can't wait to see it finished! is there a thread for your build on here?

Waiting for post about an electrical fire, cheap recharging batteries, what could go wrong!!

 

[Malevolence]

I wasn't much for that, I love Fentiman's Dandelion & Burdock though.

No sadly not, maybe I’ll make one tomorrow.

That's exactly the opposite of what they are though.

 

[robfosters]

That stuff is godly. Can’t get enough of it!

looks like the Amazon 12 for £12 case
