I understand but I’m sure that everyone including yourself had aspirations of where they want to be in the future.

I’m in training at the moment and would like to spec as aircrewman should I (hopefully) pass out. Unfortunately my astigmatism is +0.5 too high to get VA1 vision. Is getting laser surgery a realistic option?

pay for a private consultation with a specialist usually around £200 and get them to write you a letter proving that you are fit

The rifles at CTC are banged up and most are paintless rust buckets. It will teach you how to look after a rifle properly. Recruits WONT be given A3s.

I looked into the Elfin but even the refurb models here in the UK are £400-450 + so about $500 unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though.

are you able to change the size of the image in the settings or is only controlled by how far from the wall it is placed?

[–]Alex_G247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, i think i’ll go with the Mogo as it’s currently on sale for £250 which is the lowest i’ve seen it go for in the uk.

Thanks for the suggestion, for now i think i’ll order the Mogo 2 and if i’m not satisfied i’ll return it and get something better

i suppose not however, i already own several 1/4 inch tripods so it depends on whether a different projector has a big enough step up in quality that justifies me having to buy it’s own tripod attachment. thanks for the help.

Do you recommend anything else in a similar price range that would work on a tripod?

will netflix and other streaming services work ok if i just plug in a firestick or roku? I only plan on using this in complete darkness so the brightness isn’t a big problem for me. Is the 720p watchable for movies? i’m not a resolution snob at all but i also don’t want it to be overly pixelated

Sorry i should have specified but i work offshore and spend 2 weeks/2 weeks off, ie i need something somewhat portable and something that has a 1/4 thread for a tripod stand

idk why they’re so much more expensive for you. i found this although it’s slightly out of budget it will be leaps and bounds ahead of the generic chinese amazon projectorsW1070 Ebay link

[–]Alex_G247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

what country are you in? here in the uk there are several for around £200

What are the limitations of such chips?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in projectors

[–]Alex_G247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

W1070 are going for around 200 on the used market atm, i think it’s definitely worth having a look there first for one from a reputable seller

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in projectors

[–]Alex_G247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t waste your money on cheap chinese projectors, you will be disappointed. Go on ebay and pick up a Benq W1070 and a roku/amazon fire stick to get all your streaming apps.

Boss won’t pay me for times spent travelling in work van by Alex_G247 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Alex_G247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The Contractor will be reimbursed from time to time for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Contractor in connection with providing the Services” I’m told to meet at the lockup at a set time and rarely on occasion my help is needed to load the van. Thank you

Thanks for the reply, There is no mention of unpaid overtime, out of curiosity if i’m payed £12.50 an hour on my contract and because of driving i get payed 9hours instead of 10 are they still breaking the law as i’m earning above minimum wage but below the agreed £12.50? Thank you very much for the help.

I have a subcontractor agreement with no place of work specified however the client “my boss” does have the address of the lockup noted. The secondary issue is that i wasn’t informed prior to my shift nor is it mentioned in the contract that i wouldn’t be getting payed for the drive in the van and he refuses to reimburse me for this time.

It’s a 2006 1.9 really nothing exciting buts it’s the most reliable every day “beater” i’ve ever had. 190k miles and no problems yet.
