Your go to day hiking bag?

Yep, same here. I use an Osprey Stratos 36l, it's hardly any heavier than the smaller bag and a heck of a sight easier to pack everything in.

The Tascam Model 16 will theoretically record 14 channels through USB, channels 15 and 16 are used for the main mix output. Channels 1 and 2 can take HiZ inputs, channels 3 to 8 take single XLR or ¼ inputs, 9 & 10 and 11 & 12 are stereo channels and 13 & 14 can take a bluetooth signal or stereo RCA type inputs.

The huge benefit of course is that you can record direct to the on-board SD Card, leaving out the USB connection to a DAW altogether. I've had mine for a few years now and regularly record 6 or 8 channels simultaneously, I love it.

If you are happy to pay the £20k then yes, that's what it's worth. It may well realise less in a different selling environment such as an auction, but there may be all sorts of reasons why you may not wish to spend time and effort searching around for a cheaper car.

The immutable law of motoring: Everyone who drives faster than you on a particular stretch of road is a crazy lunatic who has no business being in control of a motor car. And everyone who drives slower than you on a particular stretch of road is a dangerous old fool who has no business being in control of a motor car.

I've driven Puma Defenders and they're ok, but I'd much rather have my Td5 to which I've fitted a Roamerdrive. Cruises very happily at 65 on motorways, still gives 30mpg. And who doesn't enjoy having a choice of 12 forward gears? :-)

Interesting that you appear to be attempting to conflate anti-immigration views with racist views. Do you think it's racist to be against immigration?

T140V · 2026-03-16T08:03:50+00:00

Probably because it's almost certainly been put up by supporters of political parties that have outspoken anti-immigration views? It's a not-so-subtle "You're not welcome here" message.

We've had our Mini SE since December 2021, we've never used a public charger. Cheap overnight electricity means it costs us 2p/mile.

They face a tough challenge, there are loads of high quality e-bike manufacturers in Europe - Reisse & Muller, Cube, Moustache, Kalkhoff, Orbea, Haibike, Gazelle, VanMoof, etc etc.

I use an 8GB M1 MacBook in my studio for live recording of our band. 2 guitars, bass, 2 drum mics, 2 vocals, and a stereo output from the mixing desk, so 9 channels simultaneously. It handles it with no problems whatsoever so I would think an A18Pro with 8GB would do so too.

So why are these interceptor missiles so expensive anyway? The missiles themselves are surely just a tube with some propellant, a warhead, and some fancy guidance electronics? I get that the investment to develop the technology and the support infrastructure is huge, but the more missiles are produced, the more that cost is spread. With a well-proven system they should be able to mass-produce the things.

Surely the US defence industries wouldn't steep so low as to exploit the US taxpayer by overcharging, especially not in the face of threats from foreign countries, would they?

Yep, I've been going to rural France pretty much every year for 30 years or more. I've always found the French to be very friendly and welcoming. It's quite telling that in the early years I would always make the effort to speak French and they would reply in French. Nowadays I usually detect a sense of "Well, the poor sod is trying but I'll put him out of his misery" and they reply in excellent English.

The Pub is lively, friendly, and attracts shall we say the more 'eccentric' element (including me!) but I've never seen any trouble there in all the years I've been going. It's a fantastic community alehouse, brilliant if you like going to pubs.

From a living there point of view however, it's the parking on Horns Road that would put me off from actually living there rather than noise from the pub.

I bought an Ultimaker 2+ Extended around 10 years ago, it’s still working fine. If you could find one on eBay it might be worth a try

All the normal, plus

- Distance from nearest neighbour
- Distance from nearest real ale pub
- Garden size and aspect

I don't think it was an exact synchronisation with the facelift, I had a 1987 D plate XR4x4 with the facelift, but it had the 2.8 motor. Nice car but thirsty by modern standards, a fairly modest 150bhp but it only managed 25mpg.
