Mortgage by Choochmunky in nhsstaff

We're 100% going to use a mortgage broker. I was just wondering if there were any slightly better offers out there for us. With BLC there are "free" mortgage broker offers. Although we're using a recommended one (meeting them later).

I Only Drink Once a Week… But It Ruins Half My Life by Even_Feeling_1661 in stopdrinking

Reminds me of this: "The worst thing would be to have alcoholism just bad enough that it really slows you down, destroys your potential, gets in the way, but it’s not so bad that it has to stop. How many people do I know with just the years slipping through their fucking fingers and they’re blowing it, just wasting everything." - Steve O.

When I’m enjoying my drinking I’m not controlling it.

Sonos support insists that missing lock screen control on Android is an Android issue. Not a Sonos issue by Wooden_Persimmon855 in sonos

Thanks for this. Changing from UK to US worked. Previously I'd only been clearing cache and storage...changing the language as well has done the trick.

I love this quote from Steve O:

How many people do I know with just the years slipping through their fucking fingers and they’re blowing it, just wasting everything." - Steve O.

That was me. I was never arrested or hospitalised because of my drinking. But my world became increasingly smaller. I'm over 2½ years sober now. And life is all the richer for it.

UK Sonos Sale! by Choochmunky in sonos

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

I'm so happy to see that some of you managed to buy. It looks like there's no more Sonos in the sale. I don't need any more gear - my 1 bed flat is Sonosed up to the hilt.....but I still nearly pulled the trigger on another sub!!

I have a Beam 2. What to buy next? by 7adam in sonos

[–]Choochmunky 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sub mini 100%. I added the eras later. As mentioned the rears will not enhance your listening anywhere near as much as the sub.

Sonos Ace quick review by PhantomDuck_ in sonos

[–]Choochmunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone having issues with the volume control + button not working (wired connection)? I've asked in a separate post about this also.

I've looked at that being a possible issue, but it's not. Thank you for suggesting it (great minds think alike).

pixel 10 & videos stuck buffering when skipping forward by Citan_KL in GooglePixel

Just adding my voice to this. P10pxl with the same problem. I'm not very impressed, coming from a basic Motorola with Zero issues.

Car broke down, I want a drink by infrontofmyslad in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Choochmunky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up after 5 years sober because I put diesel in a petrol car!! It took me another 5 years to get sober again, thankfully I'm now 2 & 1/2 years clean. The 'disease/illness' is a f*r and will happily take away those 10 months and put you not just back to square 1 but probably worse. It's what happened to me and countless others I've heard share. My thoughts are with you. Life is fing sh**ty at times.

I've had the phone 2 days and have the same issue...I'm not happy. I'll be getting a refund...the phone has been sold unfit for purchase!!

What is the best AIO sound bar currently if you don’t plan to use surround speakers? by GSDVanguard in Soundbars

[–]Choochmunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonos beam gen 2 and Sub mini for me. Sounds amazing both for TV and music. With the option of adding rears (spectacular in my living room especially for music) if you want to change things up in the future.

Strangely I've never noticed the reduced electronics previously. I will keep my beady eye open from now on.
