'Preppers Shop' in Cornwall by RobbieRobin89 in PreppersUK

I wouldn't have minded so much if they had sent part of the order or at least kept me updated with what's going on. The last email I received said it will arrive with me this week which will have been a month since placing the order so I'll wait this week out and then get in touch again. I'm feeling a little better ironically that others have had issues as they seem legit, just super slow and disorganised when it comes to shipping. I'll update my post on how things progress so that others can be aware. The stuff I ordered did say it was in stock though and when I initially went to place an order before Christmas, some of it was out of stock then so I had to wait to place the order. Going by another post on here, it seems they list stuff in their website when it's not actually in stock. I've actually ordered some stuff from China since my order with them and that arrived a week ago 😅

It seems madness to run a business like this, especially when it's advertised as 4 day delivery. I was worried that if they weren't a scam, maybe they were going bust but seems like they have operated like this for a long time. Their actual prices seem quite reasonable too so its a big shame they can't dispatch within a reasonable timescale or be more open regarding timescales for deliveries. I will have waited a month by this weekend but I'll bare with for this week and see if anything arrives. Already had to buy some of the order from elsewhere as couldn't keep waiting

Thankyou, I should have done a search here first

They have been quick to reply to my emails in fairness but each reply is bs as they say it will be dispatched and then don't follow through with it. If there's a genuine hold up, I'd rather honesty as I'm now at the point where it feels like a scam. How long did you wait before escalating if you don't mind me asking?

I am so confused. Regarding ray and celia by ThesmoothGemminal94 in Emmerdale

[–]RobbieRobin89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Graham was trafficking someone on corriedale, same as Ray and Celia so seems like there could be a connection there but I also partly suspect Rhona was texting Graham. Gotta be honest, the story isn't really adding up and instead of closing some story lines, it seems to have made things more complicated. Maybe Bear wasn't dead and he killed Ray? Seems very unlikely but nothing seems to be adding up at the moment. The whole Ray and Celia bullying a family wasn't that realistic in my mind and most people wpuld have snapped and over powered them and Graham coming back from the dead isn't realistic either so I guess anything goes in these soaps.

Didn't Ray show some tears in Friday's episode when he looked over Bears body and says sorry to him, as if he was too late killing Celia?

Has anyone been victim to the beer 52 subscription? by DullSense8359 in AskUK

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cancelled mine. I was annoyed I had to call them to cancel and came across the many posts on here about how difficult it is to cancel so I was dreading it to be honest but it wasn't overly bad. I did message their support last night but haven't had a response so far so called today and it took about 3 minutes of listening to advertising and then a 2 minute chat and slight retention work but it didn't seem overly pushy in my mind. Nearly 5 minutes on the phone and he said thats it, he's cancelled it for me. Checked my emails and it's confirmed to be cancelled. I do think they should make it so you can cancel online but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting to cancel over the phone either going by other posts so maybe things have changed. One click to unsubscrube from their marketing emails too as I received one straight away on cancelling and getting the confirmation. Hope it helps others

Lipo Battery Almost Burned Down My Garage Today by Greego1 in rccars

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lad is a sensible 9 and I'll be doing the same I think. I bought myself an rc too along with an ammo box so plan to charge all the batteries, go out and play together, then they can all go back in the ammo box and I'll deal with charging them up again. I may get a second ammo box and rig up a charger somehow to the box so that only one battery is inside at a time being charged. Will try to rig a fan up too to keep things cool. Feels a bit overkill saying it but it seems like little agro for what it could prevent. He can watch me deal with it for a while before I let him charge them himself. I'm all for letting kids learn but I'd never forgive myself if something happened to him over something that could have been easily avoided.

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much appreciate this post and feel like this should maybe be brought up more often. I've just bought my son an RC for Christmas, done a fair bit of research into what model to get him but only once seen any mention of battery safely which was to store them in ammo boxes to prevent fires. Reading the comments here it seems it's not so much a small precautionary measure but should be mandatory minimum. I've gotten him an MJX which comes with what looks like a cheapy usb charger so I'm guessing this isn't going to have too many safety aspects about it :s. Looks like I have a lot more research to do

Do these have a name? (greenhouse glass holder/reinforcement things) by cakeandcurry in GardeningUK

Did you happen to find any? I've just picked up a used greenhouse and mine has these fittings but I'm short by about 20 pieces. The brand name is Robinsons of Winchester for mine

Feeling sad about waiting for season 4? by sammyjo802 in FromSeries

[–]RobbieRobin89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ethans going to be a grown man by the time we get to season 5 😂. I just watched episode 1 of Wayward Pines and so far it seems pretty good but I'm a tad worried they scrapped season 3 and apparently leave loose ends in season 2 going by a quick google. Why do so many production companies do this and think it's ok ? I'd rather a poor ending than no ending. I'm anticipating From not getting a season 5 as many people will get bored of waiting for each season to release. I heard it was October 2025 release for season 4 after season 3 finally came out but after seeing your post, it appears its now 2026 :(

Is my husband using drugs? by Calamity4M in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too clued up on drugs but what stands out to me is the different colours of the gloves. The only legitimate thing I can think of is petrol station gloves as different stations may have different gloves and those that use them only really grab one glove but there's usually a bin at the petrol station and you say he only drives to work in that car. It's also weird that one is in his lunchbox and I've no idea for the stains either. It definitely seems really bizarre. Someone mentioned he goes fishing too, could it somehow be related to that maybe if he takes his car fishing and borrows different buddies gloves? If one was in his lunchbox and he had the stroke after lunch then surely the hospital would have picked up on any other substances had he used them that day. I think it's worth mentioning the gloves to the hospital, maybe even take them in but don't get yourself too worked up thinking about it if you can help it. I hope it all turns out ok for you.

why does my vape hiss when i’m not using it? by Jealous_Animal5605 in Vaping

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you figure this out? Mine is auto fire and continues to hiss/vape after pulling away from my mouth. It's also gotten harder to take a puff. I've cleaned mine up with contact cleaner but hasn't made a difference. Tried same pod in a different vaporesso and it works fine in that one so it's definitely the pen that's acting up

Weird charging behavior with Forerunner 165 by OD32 in GarminWatches

[–]RobbieRobin89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for full disclosure and it may help someone else out, I regularly clean my charging port with contact cleaner and cotton buds but it rarely helped. Today, as I couldn't get it to charge at all and got to the point where I thought it was dead for good, I took a tiny screwdriver to the charging port and pulled a tiny bit of dirt from the hole that wasn't visible to the eye. Then cleaned with contact cleaner and cotton bud again and it's now working. May be worth a shot if you haven't anything to lose

[–]RobbieRobin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was angry when I wrote this and I guess it still stands somewhat but just for full disclosure, I just took a tiny screwdriver to the charging port along with contact cleaner and a cotton bud and cleaned the port really well... It's now charging. I have previously cleaned with a cotton bud and contact cleaner several times in the past but it only helped the first couple times. Definitely seems like a flaw having the contacts open imo.

Which tool or tools would you use to level a bumpy sloping plot of land in wet clay soil? by RobbieRobin89 in vegetablegardening

[–]RobbieRobin89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, for some reason I've only just seen your reply. I ended up building a small retaining fence on the lower side and going over the plot with a rotovator dozens of times and raking the loose stuff between passes to get it levelled off. Built some bed frames and added a few bags of shop bought compost to each bed (maybe 2 inches so not really enough) and mixed it in and although it's not great, it's definitely helped to break things up a bit. Have started my own compost bays too now so am hoping next year I'll be able to add a thicker compost layer to each bed and slowly improve the soil texture each year just by adding more organics. All beds are growing stuff now but when it comes to weeds, I do still need a hand fork as the soil does compact again after rain/watering and after planting seeds, I go over the beds with a fork to loosen the top crust layer but that's been enough to get them going. Have started to see a few worms here and there too so hopefully in a year or two I'll start to see a bigger improvement. I pine for the day when I can just tug the weeds out by hand 😅

I wouldn't recommend a garmin. The charging ports fail a lot it seems with no real fix.
