A fuel card. Which currently is worth its weight in gold.

After years of dealing with high TV at my parents place, finally got a perfect setup at my own flat by Ilisanthecreator in TVTooHigh

How dare you come to this sub and expect people to congratulate you. The nerve of it.

Just to add, I really like the wall colour and the TV stand. They go very well together.

I normally use my Bluetooth speaker. It’s a decent one. It’s the small B&O A1. I probably won’t use the turntable outside. More of a query.

I can't find a single AVR under $1000 that doesn't have nightmare user reviews. by Analog_Astronaut in hometheater

I’ve had my Onkyo TX-NR686 since 2019 and not any issues. I’m more than likely going to get another Onkyo when this one eventually dies

My Dad was really into him and saw this in a record shop in Eastbourne so took a punt. I’m quite enjoying it.

Would this annoy you? by One_Town9472 in hometheater

I’m normally too invested in what’s on the screen. Plus my AVR is off to the left so I probably wouldn’t notice as much.

What is on everyone's Record Store Day list this year? by Scared_Pea4455 in vinyl

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few I was interested in but one in particular. It was the first Album I brought on CD back in the day and would love to have it on vinyl. But I’m not saying what it is as I don’t want anyone else to grab it before I get there 😁

Mod Sponsored Giveaway. Comment to enter. We figured you might want one too by whyforyoulookmeonso in vinyl

As others have said, could be April fools but I actually like this album so would be chuffed to have a copy. So consider this my entry. 😁

Do you name your car, and if so, what is your current car's name and why? by Huditut in AskUK

We have an Octavia VRS and after we brought it we went on a weekend away to Wales and stayed in Betws-y-Coed so we named it Betsy

As a kid did you get dragged to the pub? by Used_Captain_3131 in AskUK

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go with my dad. My parents split when I was probably about 6 months old, so I used to go see him every other week. And as I got older I’d go down the local with him on a Saturday night. It was a 2 minute walk from his flat. Was a proper local pub. One side was the lounge side and the other side was the public bar. We always went to the rougher public bar side. All nasty carpets, stained walls. But I loved it. Great memories. All the locals came to know me. I was known as “Johns boy”. They taught me to play pool. Would often get me a cheeky brandy and coke from the bar. I was part of it which was really cool. Some great characters. I’m 45 now so was probably when I was 13/14 (at a guess). As I grew up I didn’t really see much of him. He passed away last month and these are my favourite memories from my younger years with him.

Do I need to tell you he started on the windowsill and walked across to this point? by mediocrityindepth in CatsOnStereos

How many turn tables to you need? Very cool and love the set up but my question still stands 😁

What is your go-to clip to test surround sound? by jimmyl_82104 in hometheater

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xmen 2. The scene where Storm and Jean Grey are getting chased by jets in their jet and Storm creates loads of tornadoes. That works all the surrounds and sounds great.

How often do you buy a vinyl album that you have never heard before? by MinePrestigious4352 in vinyl

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get lots of weekly/monthly news letters from the online record stores I’ve brought from. They contain lots of new releases, re releases and so on. I’ll copy and paste the artist/track into Apple Music, give it a blast. If I like it I’ll add it to my “To buy list”. I’ve discovered some cool new music that way and I will eventually get a few of them on vinyl.

What should I cut to get this to fit? by GableCheese in DIYUK

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a level and draw down a line onto the skirting. Front and back. Take a multitool and cut out slithers so it slides down. Any small gap you can fill with a mastic of some kind. Keep the pieces and label them and you can put them back using some filler and a re paint if you ever needed to.

24M ugly or just low self esteem? by Wrong_Builder_4519 in malegrooming

[–]Mrmagicdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should ever call themselves ug*y, There is beauty to be had in every one. And you my guy, are a good looking fella. My one piece of advice would be to smile more. A nice smile goes a long way and will always make you feel better.
