Oh, it's one of those obnoxious radios that tradesmen also put on full volume and sing along to...

I just don't understand why tradespeople use site radios when you can use your phone speakrer to play music these days.

I keep meaning to buy one of those Qalo silicone rings so I can keep it on 24/7, don’t suppose anyone in here has one do they?

Wearing a black silicone ring (cheap ebay job) now due to losing weight and starting rock climbing. My wedding ring was only a £40 white gold from Argos one, and the replacement after I lost (then found) that one was a £20 silver Argos ring. I now wear my original one round my neck on a silver chain. I flat out refused to spend a fortune on rings that I knew would get damaged, lost, or require expensive adjustments and we put the money towards our honeymoon instead.

I assume it's a combination of

- Battery / longevity
- Robustness / not wanting to damage phone on site
- Volume requirements

Being able to have multiple people listen to it, being water resistant, and the reasons mentioned here.

I made my own site radio when I was an apprentice. It was basically an entire car audio system in a wooden box, complete with ASBO amps and woofers, it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever made and it was awesome.

Feel like my joke was lost

That was the poster complaining about people using watches to tell the time because phones have superseded them

I was going to say the same! Good that you did.

Having a site radio is all very well but non of the peasants listen to radio 4 - just this screechy pop stuff

Nice haul though - Don't suppose you are throwing away a Makita 9v stick 9000 are you??

agreed - although i do feel a little bit of a plonker as an ageing professional in a suit playing zelda on the train (not enough to stop though

)

I tend not to play online, I am useless as I get older at online games. I have BF1 and BFV and it's a die fest. Load, run, bang, die, repeat.

An occasional, but unwelcome, necessity

I know that feeling of being a poorly equipped/trained 17 year old in the trenches after playing a bit of bf1/BF5 :eek:

Adds to the realism..

I tend to be that player who is always in the way, always looking from a clear vantage point and saying "is that a snipe....BOOM"

My suit/shirts are so uncomfortable right now. My diet has already started fortunately.
