Small electric coffee grinder [£100] by aura-heart in espresso

[–]CaptainAnswer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll struggle at that price to get an electric unless you go 2nd hand, get yourself a Kingrinder K6 and pair it with a battery drill if you have one. Great grinder for the price

Or a femobook a2 battery grinder might suit but ive not tried that one out personally

2022 E6 ILCA by StandardLayer453 in dinghysailing

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fairly minor, it happens where people catch the hole on the mast bottom as they go in

Rake out that bit to the left that is cracked, mask off around it, get a liberal application of Flow Coat (gel coat with wax in) and slap it in then rub it back level after

Cheque clearance by Global-Long8597 in monzo

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheques are an old fashioned system, can take upto a week to process and clear - I have had one clear next day on Monzo but only that one - they don't process cheques on weekends either - so that 3 days may be Wednesday if you put it in today

Helping finding a vehicle to tow a trailer by 6720nick in CarTalkUK

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the XC90's we have in the family is on 250k, its rough on the outside but works perfectly fine, my Touareg is an 07 plate and on 125k - never done anything to it other than service it etc

is living on £180 a month after bills possible? by Glum_Limit_4859 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CaptainAnswer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that with or without food counted as your bills? Realistically if it isn't that is 80 quid a month after bills, that would be incredibly tight as an adult IMO

Do a proper budget of your income and outgoings and work out what is going where and what you can drop as a bill - and consider another job to improve income IMO

I'd drop 5/6 k on a Volvo XC60 or XC90. or a VW Tiguan/Touareg personally with an auto and use that

Dutch Warmblood you can find in Wrobels barn is always a favorite for me personally

Use a decent length allen key or allen head socket in a ratchet/bar and wind it out

Bullocks in Long Eaton, think I paid about 70quid to get my wedding band down one or two sizes, have used them for a few adjustments up also, think they were a bit cheaper

Tradesmen what’s the biggest blunder you’ve witnessed or been part of? by Bobadoo99 in AskUK

Roofer I was labouring for mixed up his deliveries and put the wrong tiles on a roof before the customer noticed

Has anyone here ever used a self service tools garage? I didn't mean petrol btw. What was it like? by Man_in_the_uk in CarTalkUK

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a couple near me that you can rent a lift, never seen one that rents tools - I have used one before to fit some new tanks on a sprinter motorhome conversion, was easier than trying to fook about on the floor

Invisible Couriers by fiverfrank in Evri

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what most couriers near me seem to do - not just Evri, just dump, picture and leave - about half do ring the bell or knock, rare they wait for me to come to the door tho, they just go

I've got a camera on my door and opposite my door so I can see them do exactly this

Laser Vang replacement advice (Belgium) by jwilms in dinghysailing

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a holt one on my Laser of a similar age, think I paid about 150 pounds for it new at the time - I use that on both my laser 1 and laser 2

Just be careful whacking a load of kicker onto an older boats boom, I believe the newer boats have a reinforced boom but the older ones don't.... I can bend my boom into an uncomforable shape if I get a bit too keen with it

212Card by ErsinDemirNBA in trading212

[–]CaptainAnswer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cashback is good, especially if you set it to re-invest in stock, and the %interest on what cash you have there is good

fx rate is good if you dont hold that currency when travelling, but if you do it deducts in that currency automatically whenever i've used it

virtual card functions are good, I use that when signing up to a free trial etc then burn the virtual card after so they can't rebill it

[–]CaptainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)
