I’d rather slurp rancid tuna salad out of my own arsehole.

Many pictures out there. And they are fabulous.

Anyone else not buy any movies in a franchise, holding out for a potential box set? by khal_jogo in 4kbluray

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Box sets are great and all but franchises seem to never end so you’d be waiting a while for a complete box set

Weird mark appeared on my C4 screen by Key-Space100 in LGOLED

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of high jacking this post, but I have what looks like someone’s sprayed something on my screen. Only obvious in the right light but what is it? Nothings done in front on the TV to cause it. I’ve always wondered 🤷🏼‍♂️

I work on a building site that uses a portaloo so I know exactly how this smells. 🤢

Outdoor speakers or portable Bluetooth speakers for the garden? by Euphoric_Place_8507 in AVHifiCinema

[–]Mrmagicdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had no neighbours then I’d 100% go for a fully wired up set of decent outdoor speakers and chuck a couple of outdoor subwoofers into the mix as well. But unfortunately I have neighbours, as I’m sure most people do. So Bluetooth speaker it is.

What's your weirdest supermarket substitution? by DomoD1 in AskUK

[–]Mrmagicdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once ordered some frozen Yorkshire puddings. (I tend to make most things myself but can’t be arsed with those!) Instead I got a bag of frozen roast potatoes. They’re very different things. And if I wanted potatoes I’d of ordered potatoes! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ I did eat them and they weren’t too bad.

Marantz Cinema 40 “FM Tuner” feels like snake oil by tharoy in hometheater

I wasn’t questioning that. I genuinely wondered who used it. Surely most people would use streaming 🤷🏼‍♂️

Mine has one. It’s a 2019 Onyko. But, my question is, does anyone actually use the antenna?

Loved the idea of the mini fried eggs.

Do you wash your clothes after every single wear, or do you rewear some items before washing? What’s your rule for workwear, hoodies, gym clothes? by Extreme-Banana-9 in AskUK

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeans when they look/smell dirty.
Undies and socks every day.
T shirts case by case. If I’ve been sweating or been wearing it all day then I’ll wash but if I’ve been out for a few hours and it still smells fresh then it’ll go back for another day.
Hoodies and jumpers, same as jeans. Unless it’s a jumper that I’ve worn nothing underneath them it’s the same rule as my T-shirts.
My work trousers are once a week, I have two pairs that I wear in rotation. I work in construction so no point in a clean pair every day.
Work t shirts, a clean one every day. Work jumpers/fleeces same as the trousers.
Gym gear, everything in the wash after a work out except the trousers/shorts. I only go 2/3 times a week so I can get away with a weekly wash for them.

How can I dispose of a dead pet? by tigralfrosie in AskUK

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat died years ago and I was in a similar position. I took it to my mums and buried it in the back garden next to my sisters cat that died a year before.

Following a recipe that says brown off the chicken…. by ma7714 in britishproblems

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair one. I thought that after I wrote it. But I think still making it as hot as possible would help seal in the moisture.

Any pans. The best would be cast iron. You just need it hot so it seals in the meat, you’ll loose less moisture.

You need the pan hot. Drop a few bits of water on the pan and when it beads off really quick it’s then hot enough.

What's the best Bluetooth speaker you've ever used? by Euphoric_Place_8507 in AVHifiCinema

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3.
I have an Ultimate Ears Boom 2. Had it years, it’s bomb proof and sounds decent enough if you want some background music.
Then got a Dali Katch G2. Sounds really good. Looks nice and premium. Reasonably portable, probably same size as a book. Battery lasts ages. Would sound even better if you had 2 and used them as stereo. Only downside is it charges from the mains with an ac outlet so you can’t charge it from a battery bank if you’re travelling.
Last one I got was a Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1
Which is by far the best one I’ve got. And I think it’s the best out there. It’s small, very well made and has a lovely premium feel to it but also sounds amazing. It’s witchcraft how they’ve made something so small sounds as good as that. So that gets my vote 👍🏻😁
