Re: New(ish) technologies that have fallen flat....

I did buy into the 3D TV thing and, as you say, it was underwhelming, apart from 1 shot in the Force Awakens and most of Pacific Rim. I also have a PSVR2 which does get used occasionally, but it's a bit of a faff to set up and it only gets used for a shortish time. Moss 1 & 2 are amazing games t...

Re: Nostalgia: Chcolate bars

I really liked the Cabana Bar - the one with coconut and cherries in. Texan Bar Turns out it's sort of still available - I found this website whilst trying to find the name of the coconut and cherries chocolate bar that I coudln't remember. I think they're making old chocolate bars by hand to order...

Starbar

Paynes Poppets (although not a chocolate bar as such)

Re: Multi bike tax.

What's the point in the DD? It's more expensive in total, means you have to contact the bank to cancel it and also SORN it as normal. I guess he doesn't pay the big chunk up front though. Don't think you have to contact bank, it's just sorned. Yeah, maybe. I always make sure I cancel the DD, just i...

Re: Advertising at the sides of motorways

I don't see the point. The next junction is probably 20 miles away so I'm not going to backtrack all that way and try and find a place in the middle of nowhere. And that's even if I was interested in a hot tub.

Re: Drone footage, rules and regs, purchasing, guidance etc..

A quick google says you'll need to apply for a permit to fly in the Forest of Dean. Which probably means a 'No' for normal people like us. I can't see anything for Bikepark Wales online, but looking at it, I wouldn't get my hopes up. That said, places like Dartmoor have a blanket ban, but if you are...

Re: Drone footage, rules and regs, purchasing, guidance etc..

As people have said, get one that's under 250g you'll have a lot more freedom with that. Any more than that you'll not be able to fly it in places where there are people or buildings, basically you'll be limited to the middle of nowhere. Under 250g and you can basically fly anywhere except where the...
