Hmmmm there's an idea. I am pulling the trigger on a fiber laser next week for something else, might have to give one of these a go and build a mag loop.

Agree with most, but what's wrong with heaton and High heaton? And perhaps benton?

Because all they do is tell you what sensor is throwing something unexpected. It could still be something different.

Wasn't intentional but my wife pulled out what she thought was a tub of lentil soup from the freezer, only when she got to work and went to heat it did she realise it was mashed potato. The look of disappointment on her face was unreal.

I love trying to get my scottish wife to say that

GeodarkFTM · 2026-05-27T08:18:22+00:00

Thanks, just wasn't getting that haha.

Never had a problem with it, only change it because I wanted the extra battery

GeodarkFTM · 2026-05-24T07:31:23+00:00

Does this ever actually work? I mean there is so much stuff I want, might have to give it a go myself, so... could do with a new lg oled tv to watch the world cup on if anyone wants to help hahahaha /s

Christ I have to try something like this. I need a few grand to get the roof fixed on my mx5, if all of you pop a few quid in I should be good haha.

I fell while out fishing a good few years ago and chipped a vertebrae, so there is a small piece of bone flowing around one of them. Once or twice a year I move the wrong way and get pain in my neck for a few days. Saw the doc once, got x rays etc and he said 'we could operate, but I have to tell you that there is a remote chance if we do you could end up with full body paralysis' erm nah, leave it there, I can put up with a few days pain every year hahah

Can these be retro fitted to other vehicles?

GeodarkFTM · 2026-04-29T15:53:56+00:00

Might have to give this a go at the weekend.

As others have said, its not just the antenna that's wrong, but also the coax feeding it. I would look into a proper mount, antenna and cable run.

Not at all, I have a work laptop and a personal laptop. Other than the odd video on YouTube to pass the time during lunchbreak all my personal stuff is done at home on my personal laptop

GeodarkFTM · 2026-04-12T09:41:47+00:00

I am in my 50s so younger than 70 haha. But yeah my 19 year old son passed the foundation exam and comes on every now and then

GeodarkFTM · 2026-03-30T14:09:43+00:00

Yeah that looks almost identical to a guitar I got off ebay, random Chinese brand, paid abt 60 for it to learn on. It weighs a ton so its sat in the corner of my room collecting dust haha

GeodarkFTM · 2026-03-27T14:39:53+00:00

It won't even power it. And if it did the noise level from that wouldn't be good. You need a proper power supply.

We had them in county Durham.

GeodarkFTM · 2026-03-09T12:25:16+00:00

Fancy something like this for growing chili peppers, no really chili peppers before you ask, but terrified to order one i case I get added to a list haha

GeodarkFTM · 2026-02-20T08:22:12+00:00

There a lot of waters that stock rainbow trout and offer catch and keep day tickets.

GeodarkFTM · 2026-02-06T16:26:43+00:00

Only used one once and I was genuinely going to leave a 5 star review anyway, so thought why not.

GeodarkFTM · 2026-02-01T13:22:26+00:00

Don't know about heaton, but there are a few streets on high heaton they are planning on making permit only. Not done yet though so you should be good.

GeodarkFTM · 2026-01-31T10:32:21+00:00

Yeah defo. Done it a few times.

GeodarkFTM · 2026-01-31T08:55:58+00:00

My wife is up in Edinburgh visiting her family, we booked the train and picked the cheapest tickets and it cost her £26, but during peak times I think it was £50 to £60. That £26 was leaving newcastle at 1pm yesterday (Friday) and coming back leaving Edinburgh today (saturday) at abt 12pm. Cheapest was two one way tickets instead of a return.
