I had to extend the cabling to my inverter recently.

It was so nice to have solder, cable, terminals and heatshrink all easily to hand :)

The mud may make them a little easier on the eye. 😵

I like 'em
They get a bit sweaty after a couple of hours, and they're a bit lacking for music, but for gaming they're the dog's, especially with the faux 7.1 surround sound.
The wireless set up / dongle and software is easy enough, plug n play

I wanted a £200 pair but couldn't find anywhere to try before buying, so took a gamble at this price point, I reckon I'm quids in.

Just bought and fitted a little box that means I can now open and close the roof on the car with the remote, 3 presses to make it work. Silly but this is how the car should have been, not sitting in it holding a button down.
Surprisingly happy about it.

Also, ordered the decking so I can sit in the sun at the top of the garden, sadly delivery is in June, but I can wait!!
Mick.

No, cleared a bush and some of the herbs so I got the ground ready but most of them have already spread across other bits of the garden. Got 2 areas now with all varieties in them, I will have to see what happens I think.
They have all grown to fill the gaps between them so it actually looks ok, the Lambs Tail, I think that’s what they are called, are very weak stemmed so the wind has knocked them flat but by tomorrow they will be back upright.

You may be pleased in time that you’ve got them left, as they should give you some nice smells in summer! You’ll have to post a picture of you having a beer on the decking when you’re done! :thumbup:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T...



I'm hoping I can't really go wrong at that price.

Reviews are mixed, most say it's great, some say it's slow... however there are two versions of the phone, 3gb and 4gb ram.

All the great reviews are based on the 4gb and all the slow reviews based on the 3gb.

Ordered just now, delivery sometime around 6pm tonight :)
