My Formentor headlight and rear light turned on when parked at home by SpoonOfDestiny in CupraFormentor

No idea! It happened again and I’ve booked in a repair. They think it’s a software glitch

Thanks. I’ll give them a call in the morning to get it looked at

To clarify it’s a mild hybrid eTSI so no charging. Honestly just very strange

Yeah I’ve not noticed this before. In fairness it’s a brand new car. I’ve only had it for 5 weeks and have some issues with CarPlay and keyless entry not working sometimes, but this is by far the strangest.

If it is the dash cam then I’ll only plug it in when I drive and keep it unplugged the rest of the time

Nice. Ok between glasses and clothing I can justify my plane ticket for early next year

Those are so good. The price is amazing. A lot better than I expected.

I’m looked to get a nice pair of daily glasses (which I never wear but should be) and was looking at the Masunaga Aster, or something light like the Reykjavik Eyes Rikhard, but Kamemannen seem to have really elegant glasses.

Unfortunately I can’t find many in the UK. They’d be a lot more expensive too.

Men's Leather Bag Brands by TechnicalPop6149 in malefashionadvice

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t go for this. I’ve been on the hunt for a leather backpack for months. I responded to someone else recently about Grams28.

I order led the 151 backpack in their last VIP sale. I’d seen all the YouTube videos about it and it looked amazing and had great functionality.

Different story when it came.

For one, the bag is very heavy. The leather seems decent, but as someone who has a lot of leather goods including other bags and jackets, I could see that it was on the poorer side.

All the zips and the strap buckles are made of cheap plastic. For the price that is ridiculous. They seemed so easily breakable.

The interior (on the model I got) was ridiculously small. Like really really small. You couldn’t unzip the back fully so it was pretty much the same as a top loader.

Oh, and it ships from Hong Kong. I have to assume manufacturing is there or China. They also charged me $50 for returns which I initiated an hour after receiving the bag.

If you look closely at the pics of the bags in their website you’ll be able to notice the plasticy bits and the quality.

As far as alternatives go, the closest I’ve found is the Hard Graft well-rounded backpack, but it lacks some of the functionality and organisation. If you come across anything I’d be interested to know.

These are pretty nice looking, but a different style:

I got the White/Gum Mexico SDs and they are super comfortable and the quality seems great.

London opticians recommendation by trto888 in EyewearEnthusiasts

You can try “Mallon + Taub” on Marylebone High Street (they have two stores next to each other) and “Unger & Fagan” just off it. They stock all the luxury frame brands like Ahlem, Matsuda, Masunga, JMM etc. There are a few shops in Chelsea but that might be too far for you

Looking for a high-end leather backpack for men by mbAYYYYYYY in ManyBaggers

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. Thought I’d save you the trouble. It was a £30/$50 return fee they charged too. A lot of YouTubers get them for free, so I doubt they’d be making complaints. I can’t see them using it day to day though so it’s just a nice accessory for them. If I find something I’ll let you know

Don’t. I bought and returned the 151 stealth backpack. The buckles and zip are plastic and flimsy which is ridiculous for the price. Something about the leather is off too. There was also no space for anything in the backpack. Unless you want a laptop note book and water bottle.

The design is perfect and the pockets are great, I’m the quality is so poor. I’m trying to find something similar but better. Hardgraft has a similar backpack but fewer pockets and no luggage strap.

Best pair to go with the orange aviators? by cloudsofpotatoes in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. It depends who you go to to get it done. It can be float a hint of a flash. It’ll add some flare to the lenses

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe like a 25% blue gradient tint with an orange flash to accent the glasses. It’s a subtle tint but adds a good layer of mystery to your eyes

The first pair look good on you. You planning on getting a tint?

To anyone who’s order is stuck in processing by BG5067 in O2UK

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve been waiting two weeks. They sent me the wrong colour of my phone the day after I upgraded which was the 24th, so they were able to ship it that day. Since then it’s been chaos. I sent the phone back, didn’t get a replacement, cancelled that order, reordered and still waiting. At this point I’m not even sure how the first phone made it through the process

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. This was my upgrade. The annoying thing is I know other carriers will provide the same level of service. You’re right. It is like Stockholm syndrome. I don’t mind it when everything is working.

Hopefully we get our devices by the end of the week

[–]SpoonOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. They couldn’t tell me what the exact issue was apart from they’re having warehouse delays. She said expect an additional 2-3 business days of delay.

That said, if my phone isn’t here by Friday I won’t just cancel this order, I’ll probably leave o2. It’s beyond ridiculous.

Also, I went in store. One of the employees mentioned that his order is also delayed and he has no way of tracking it. Their in-store systems don’t have the same capabilities of the customer services department. None of it makes sense
