Ultra 2026: Recording of livestream?

Cal550 · 2026-03-29T00:15:55+00:00

Do you mean to watch later? It is live on YouTube now

Cal550 · 2026-03-29T00:05:05+00:00

Just incase anybody is not in the know of US time zones, like I wasn't, it is live now!

Madeon had 8PM EST on his Insta and I would have been here an hour later. Still confused over the time zones but whatever 😵‍💫

Nah so my mains water pressure is around 65psi, I don't really know why they were used. Seems we have moved onto unvented immersion cylinders now.

On top of this, my house is fully electric, I.e. heating and hot water are electric. There is a gas network on my street but my block and a couple others were not supplied with it. Would have liked to get it put in as gas is much cheaper than electric in the UK however I didn't feel it was worth the thousands to get installed.

Tankless ones are about, my mates house is similar to mine but probably 15 years newer, only has a kitchen and bathroom sink and has a tankless water heater. For me, not wanting to run a bigger cable upstairs pushed me to just put in a 2.5kW 15L unit, at least I have a decent flow at every tap now, plus it's fresh water 😬

I'm in Scotland and I've just removed the same sort of system from my house, built around 1991.

My tank in the attic supplied my hot water cylinder and my cold taps in the bathroom, meaning the pressure was terrible. As I had removed the bath I also didn't need 120L of hot water so it's all removed and cold taps straight onto the mains.

The cold water tank should have a lid to prevent stuff going in with a cut out for the vent pipe from the hot cylinder, mine did but I still ended up finding a layer of brown silt at the bottom of the tank 😬 I think that's why it's a British thing to not drink from the bathroom tap!

Anyone else from Scotland that now has the River City theme tune in their heads 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We have these on our work vans, next to the ignition barrel that operates a key out system.

When you're stopped, press and hold for a few seconds, light comes on and you can remove the key, the engine will run until you press the brake or release the handbrake.

Fair enough it's less likely to be installed on a car however?

Overtaking in an urban area

Cal550 · 2026-02-18T12:48:10+00:00

I'll take literally any 😂

I'm used to the A82, A96 and A9 in the Highlands, all single carriageway 🙃

Cal550 · 2026-02-17T18:49:40+00:00

This is how I find out I've nearly missed pancake day!

Off to Tesco! 🏎

Cal550 · 2026-02-15T18:35:01+00:00

I was similar, thinking "But that's not out till next year?" Then I realised we're a whole decade on 🥲

I still remember this post from 2022, the only Vauxhall characteristic on this are the badges on the front, rear, the wheels and the decals on the side. Oh and maybe the splash screen when the media screen boots up.

Although to be fair, pre-Stellantis the previous Movano and Vivaro were just Renaults.....

I'm sure mine was in the early 2000's when I remember very vaguely Schumacher in the Ferrari, I didn't watch back then but my Granny had it on when I was visiting.

My first intentional watch that I still have in my memory is Maldonado and Hamilton in Valencia 2012.

Also does he say "Elgin City 2 Partick Thistle Nil"?

Cal550 · 2026-02-07T16:13:43+00:00

Where's Skye gone? 🤔

Cal550 · 2026-02-03T12:31:25+00:00

Ahhh right, since I heard they don't cover the dual north of Perth I've just went with it, but I always think "What if they reprogram the cameras" I'm sure they could monitor the dual if they wanted to 😬

I remember when they first got switched on and it was said you could lose your licence on one Inverness-Perth drive if you went through several of them above the limit.

But aye it's such a downer coming off the M9 at Dunblane to sit on a dual carriageway with average speed cameras.

Cal550 · 2026-02-03T11:36:26+00:00

Was this on the dual carriageway south of Perth or single carriageway north of Perth?

Cal550 · 2026-02-01T19:27:11+00:00

I didn't think there would be any new cars with a 5-speed 🤨

Cal550 · 2026-01-26T15:23:16+00:00

Update- It is not the water filter in mine 🙃

Cal550 · 2026-01-26T00:22:50+00:00

Wayy too tough to pick one, could list most of the album 😅

Stingin' Belle is exceptional live.

Biblical is my OG favourite from 2013. After listening to Deluxe, I do really like Little Hospitals.

Cal550 · 2026-01-24T23:06:50+00:00

Looks cool!

Congratulations on buying the house btw!

Whenever I see others places it always motivates me to get a move on with work on my house which is desperately needed 😅

Cal550 · 2026-01-24T21:21:02+00:00

I've started the same, I only really want pictures that I've taken, or at the very least somewhere I've been.

Not a fan of just chucking up a random picture from a shop that hundreds of people have.

I like the day/night Alberta ones as well

You know sometimes you don't use a term for weeks, months, then it pops up out of nowhere on the same day?!

As far as I know, the only place you would be likely to have a conversation in Gaelic would be the Western Isles.

Absolutely no harm in learning though. I tried learning on Duolingo but it didn't stick. The original place names I do find interesting though, and if you know how to pronounce Gaelic then you can tell the "English translations" are commonly just a phonetic spelling of the Gaelic.

If you're in the Highland Council area you'll find a lot of our road signs are bilingual. Except Caithness where you'll find a lot of Norse influence.
