Another thing to consider is upgrading of the operating system. My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was a flagship model not too long ago ( I bought it new 3 years ago off the high street). However It only got 2 Android updates before I couldn't get any more, just 6 monthy security updates. My spare...

We recently moved home to Leicestershire ( !), went down my new local on Saturday night, no drama's, left our contact details at the entrance. Had a couple of pints with the missus and went home. Pint of 1664 and a large glass of white £6.60, so cheap too ! If you don't support your local...

17¾ after my Mom joined me into the Royal Air Force, apparently she knew what was best for me. And agree with her.. Cheers Mom.

OH Well glad we had a little fun with that one, and thanks for the informative answers and guesses. :) It is actually a very boring little device, and the previous owner of my car didn't know what it was either ! It is a reverse parking sensor thingy. The On/Off function only becomes visible...

i can't see any life in it at all. i thought maybe some long defunct bluetooth adaptor, DAB radio adaptor, radar detector, etc,etc.... it is quite well stuck in place so i might leave it alone for now until i get some spare time...

Hi Guys, I hope my image shows and not too big... I found a little box lurking above my rear view mirror - yesterday ( I have had the car over a month ! :) ). It is isn't in my cars user manual, it has a cable coming out of it, don't know where to yet, it has an up and down button and a...

Tudor North Flag. Saw this yesterday, on the sale shelf at a local Rolex dealers. Brand new old(ish) stock, with full 2 year international warranty. £771 under the full RRP ! I would be would be hard pushed to buy a used s/h one at that price...i convinced myself... not an impulse buy...

I had a smart meter fitted last year, however on reflection i don't think it was a good move. I always used to take and submit monthly meter readings anyway ( via Britsh Gas app on my phone), as i like to pay slightly more so no nasty bill surprises. I also had economy 7 day/night electric. My...

What type of work are you going to be using them for ?

https://www.nitewatches.com/store/gb/icon/icon201s/ I have a Nite Icon with Tritium markers that i keep by the side of my bed, Fanatastic in the dark. I bought the missus a Mondain Sport watch with Trtium markers for her birthday last year, wish it was mine if I'm being honest as i love the...

His 'General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett' must be one of the most hilarious but painfully and thoroughly believable comedy characters of recent TV history. get well soon.

Personal preference. The first Milgaus i considered was an unused NOS black dial with clear glass. However I went away to think about it overnight with a Rolex Catalogue in hand from the Jewellers as it was a lot more money than i had planned to spend that day, I had gone in specifically to...

The Steinhart is really quite nice. I bought it s/h off e-bay. I gradually noticed that it ran just a little bit too slow for my liking though, and even though it has a screw down crown i don't like opening them too often. I contacted Steinhart Customer services to see if they could do...

The Rolex Milgaus in the centre has been worn every day since i bought it new last year. I set the time exactly last October when the clocks changed to GMT and it has gradually gained 1 min and 45 secs since setting. Not such a big deal being a little early for a meeting/event. For time...

I know that by the time I went to see the Pistols at Brixton in 2007 they were cashing in, however I have to say they were loud and tight, there was a fantastic almost carnival atmosphere and I never stopped grinning the whole evening. Watching the actual Steve Jones, playing the actual Pretty...
