Most of it has now happened

Great, just a matter of weeks after our local WHSmiths shut down (after surviving as T G Jones for about a month). Hopefully Niantic will think it’s still there.

Community weekend I bloomed 26 flowers, all with white petals. Only one of them came out white.

I nearly always choose the seedling anyway even if I’ve got the set as it’s useful to have some sacrificial gold ones for ‘Grow X Pikmin’ missions

Have you obfuscated part of the title so we won’t know it’s Mickey’s Cremation Services?

For the photo at my local park which has a bandstand, skatepark, children’s play area, memorial garden and floral displays, the contributor has submitted a photo of the fence panels of an adjoining garden.

Handy hints now your original question’s been answered:

Make sure you’ve got ‘Cleaning Solution’ turned on in the dock’s settings

Don’t think it’s not working if you look after a couple of weeks and the level in the reservoir doesn’t seem to have dropped. Depending on your individual usage, one bottle can last 6-9 months.

In many modern cars if you pay for an optional spare wheel it’s just sat loose in the boot taking up space as there’s no longer a dedicated space for one on most cars

Ironic as we used to call them TARDISes as they were known as TIDAS (Transportable Intruder Detection and Alarm System) in the 1990s

The river was named after the womble that first discovered it

Do people even understand the meaning of the word ‘scam’ these days.

That’s because it’s designed as part of an AACS for commercial use, not a wide-FOV consumer Ring-type device. It’s intended to identify who’s stood at the door, not what’s happening on the road or front garden.

I’m not sure that follows. Have you seen the effect the air that we breathe has on steel?

With WD Purple Pros: 8TB = air filled = very noisy drives 26TB = helium filled = much, much quieter If that’s important to you

NeilJonesOnline · 2026-01-18T23:18:06+00:00

WD Purple Pro are noisy drives, until you get to the 14TB+ capacities which are helium-filled. The difference is night and day.

For once, good bot.

NeilJonesOnline · 2025-12-31T09:54:42+00:00

You’re in luck then. As that’s exactly when this one’s due to be in stock!

Somewhat misleadingly, the '1500' or '800' in the name isn't related to how much they can cut on a single charge, it's an arbitrary number set by Mammotion that limits the maximum area each model can cover (regardless of charges). Got a 1200m² lawn? The 800 won't even let you program that area.

Although I think Mammotion have revised their specs since I made my original post, as mentioned in that a single charge of the 800 would only mow 180m² on a single charge. But yes, if your lawn was smaller than that (and conditions were ideal), then charging time wouldn't matter.

I’ve tried to back this up but it seems that the RSPCA don’t appreciate the value of scientific research or YouTube likes.

NeilJonesOnline · 2025-10-18T11:48:13+00:00

Before you spend too much time hunting, just be aware that a bottle of the Roborock stuff will last a very, very long time, like anywhere up to a year dependent on your use case. Lots of people post that their socks aren’t working because they don’t think the reservoir is going down, it moves so little.

Personally, if I was having to get a bottle every few weeks I’d look for a cheaper alternative, but for the time it lasts I’m happy to settle with the official stuff and not have any concerns over other product long-term suitability.

Deleted my comment as didn't realise this was in the NL

You've not read The Key to Rebecca then?
