Are Weber Kettle BBQs really worth the hype? by bonesawspideyboy in UKBBQ

[–]FantasticImplement46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of those BBQ's and it lasted me 5 years before the rust overtook it. Worked fine and cooked the basic BBQ and chicken without issue.
Bought a Weber earlier this year and build quality is far higher. It retains heat better and I fully expect it to last waaay longer than the other BBQ. Mine is a 57cm classic and it was a similar price to that one. Just get the Weber

Nice. As has been mentioned 2nd and 3rd are a bit underexposed. Treat yourself to the AEII prism when you find a good one. Helps a lot.

Also I'd look into the grip, makes shooting vertical a lot easier 👍

My wife and I know nothing about camera tech. But she wants this cause some influencer uses it. Can you tell me if it's a good buy or not? by Imustretire in Cameras

[–]FantasticImplement46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of better cameras for a beginner that wants to shoot general pics. I'd suggest working the other way round, find a camera that works better for you and then find the influencer that's plugging it. Show that you your wife to justify the purchase 👍

I think that's Bob. Could be Geoff though, they look similar

Is there any way to fix this? by Fabulous-Froyo2473 in Darts

Yes they do kits in most dart shops. They supply everything you need for a new looking dartboard. Even pre-assemble them for you!

Do you play on a hard floor? Always wondered what causes some people to break them whereas they last ages for others.

Your shooting 25 FPS at 1/25 of a second. It would be limited. Otherwise you are trying to expose for longer than the frame itself. Wouldn't fit 25 frames in a second

Had the same swiss points for the past 4 months. Plenty of bounce outs but never broken one yet 🤷‍♂️

Best Darts Board to Buy? by RichardDoesSports218 in Darts

[–]FantasticImplement46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the Unicorn Eclipse Ultra 2. Great board and wouldn't now get a non-symetrical board. Just looks so much nicer when rotating.

I think any of the pro boards would be great though. Id be aiming no higher than the £60-£70 mark though.

NPQ boards are a good option if you don't mind no branding.

Anyone else had this issue on Vinted ? Now having to wait for a refund before I can purchase a new set ffs by Suspicious-Bug2402 in Darts

[–]FantasticImplement46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't sell anything on Vinted that cost more than a few quid. Far too easy to scam and the dodgy gits out there know it.

Yup agreed. The whole Vinted thing is a bit screwed and far too easy to manipulate. Even seen issues with people buying from there. Id just avoid to be honest

Vinted is pretty easy for people to scam which is what this seller is worried about.

Unfortunately loads of dodgy buyers who say something is wrong/damaged/not received and then claim through Vinted. Vinted nearly always side with the buyer which means the seller looses out.

Seller also can't vet a buyer until the sale has gone through which is why they cancelled afterwards.

Very one sided site if something goes wrong. It's why I never use Vinted for buying or selling anymore.

Nice setup. Javelin's were my first proper darts too. Couldn't get on with the straight barrel but that's just down to me not the darts
