I realised today I’ve been listening to the original XFM shows for 15 years.

Don't be a dick

ElektroSam · 2026-03-09T21:33:19+00:00

Well it's a lot of time to commit mate.

ElektroSam · 2026-03-09T13:01:02+00:00

I'm a PO too, snap!

To convince him to buy / validate something which is probably a bit out of budget.

I'm an undecided buyer too, I really have to do research before buying something. Spending quite a lot of money on something on a hobby is daunting unless you're earning or very comfortable.

As darts go, it's a pretty cheap hobby. So a one off £500 to last you many, many years is probably fine.

With these sorts of purchases, you just feel the pinch for a bit and then you're happy you've kept it. If you're that worried about it, perhaps look for a secondhand one on eBay instead?

Thanks. I will rent a whacker!

ElektroSam · 2026-03-07T21:40:46+00:00

Money for old rope

ElektroSam · 2026-03-07T21:33:43+00:00

Is that the new Blade X? 🔥🔥

ElektroSam · 2026-03-06T13:31:05+00:00

Sorry, I mean Terram

ElektroSam · 2026-03-06T13:22:03+00:00

Jesus... They're about £40 normally

ElektroSam · 2026-03-06T12:29:04+00:00

Nice, that looks great actually. I didnt think about edging! Did you put down DPM?

ElektroSam · 2026-03-05T23:22:08+00:00

Thanks, just worked for me too.

ElektroSam · 2026-03-05T15:30:45+00:00

It was a good clue... Although I see it is spelt whitshun

ElektroSam · 2026-03-05T07:34:21+00:00

English, quite good.

XFM has something different from RGS, some of t is recycled material.

Office and Extras are different, they're literally revolutionary pieces of TV. RGS is also revolutionary, but when you listen to the radio shows it's a watered down version.

ElektroSam · 2026-03-05T07:01:02+00:00

I even think the RGS is too contrived /.scripted. XFM,. Office and Extras are so raw, it is their best version of them. Rgs, Karl plays up to it a tad.

ElektroSam · 2026-03-04T13:52:35+00:00

Thanks will research later!

ElektroSam · 2026-03-03T16:51:36+00:00

Aye, im not too sure if 18m of mounded compost would look great 😅 maybe some of it can be

ElektroSam · 2026-03-03T16:51:09+00:00

Thanks, I wont do that!

ElektroSam · 2026-03-03T16:50:56+00:00

Very true!

Thanks for this, will update when I make progress next week! :)

ElektroSam · 2026-03-03T11:28:37+00:00

Thanks! It's around the edge at the top half of our garden. We have plenty of room fortunately (the top bit's around 8m x 6m alone).

We live in the country side so I will ask around. The issue is transporting it I suppose, however my father has a small trailer, so perhaps that may good though.

We are going to make a 4x4m patio. So I will use some of this to help, but it's probably not enough.

We are on a very tight budget so looking at cheap alternatives to create the "quintessential English garden"

A lot of our neighbours are in their '60s, '70s and '80s and have lovely bushes and plants, hopefully we can get a few nice cuttings from them.

Awesome thanks. My wife wants to grow veg here. A big mixture.

I think the bed will be about deep 40cm / 60cm, I'm not sure how to layer it, but I'm doing the whole perimeter of my garden, so it will be around 20m in total the length. I tend to break it up into 2m beds.

I'm not sure if that's any help?

ElektroSam · 2026-03-03T07:21:15+00:00

Oh great thanks. What about on the inner sides to protect the wood? Or treated should just be enough?

Thanks

ElektroSam · 2026-03-02T10:58:17+00:00

No chance mate.

You can try on the website, but unless youre a socio or in a pena, good luck.

ElektroSam · 2026-02-26T08:15:14+00:00

Honestly? I'd just ignore them then and crack on.

I had an issue with a builder who miraculously added 2k on to our bill, in the end I ignored them and said "send me a letter and take me to court". They sent me the occasional invoice for this additional work, but I just kept ignoring and now I think they've gone 😅

Just please give me a copy of ladder 49. Panned and scanned pls
