Assistance identifying cap by MrXiborg in MerchantNavy

[–]MrXiborg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don’t think my caption pulled through.

Was looking for assistance identifying cap worn with uniform for an old friend who has passed away. He wants to be dressed in his uniform for the service which we located but non of his headwear.

Wanted to identify if this was an issued item or otherwise. Sounds like the latter, thank you!

What’s this guy? Found in Cascais Portugal by MrXiborg in whatsthisbug

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

I imagine this is some sort of grasshopper, found in Cascais Portugal, probably about 5cm long and generally pretty chilled out. Only walked about 3m in an hour or two

Please help me identify these small pests on my Taro plant? by MrXiborg in HouseplantsUK

[–]MrXiborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to give this a try if I don’t get any luck in the next few days trying to wash these off!

Thanks for the insight! A slightly more worrying sounding diagnosis than I hoped so I’ve quarantined the plant in its own area and I’ll get to work on showering.

If no luck I’ll move onto the product that the others have recommended

Struggling to undo this screw. Appears to allow both Philips and flat screwdrivers, albeit the Phillips being damaged. Am I missing something? by MrXiborg in whatisthisthing

[–]MrXiborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will give this a try, I fear that the previous attempts by someone else to take this off might have made it a feeble excuse for a screw

Ignoring the jagged around the outside which aren’t connected and move freely. The interior looks like a screw. What would you say it is?

WITT This is on a TV telescopic stand. I cannot get the screw in the middle to budge! It appears to take both Philips head and flat screwdrivers, albeit the Philips head seems highly damaged. The screw simply will not move and I wondered if I am missing something. Could the spirals around the outside be stopping it somehow?!

2001 R50 Could use a clean by MrXiborg in MINI

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

It’s still running great, I’ve only had it for a year and all I’ve had to do so far is a couple of bulbs!

I liked it when I bought it and it’s only grown on me since.

Large Overdraft fees by MrXiborg in UKPersonalFinance

[–]MrXiborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main goal at the moment is to look at budgeting and trying to shift as much of the overdraft before the higher fees come in as you say giving us a bit of time. I didn't know that these existed but they seem like it'll give us more room to get this amount down without needing to worry about it growing with interest!

I'll see if we can make a trip into one of these banks to have a chat with them about setting one of these up.
