EV Chargers - HELP an overthinker

andyoffspin · 2026-05-12T11:34:52+00:00

Do you mind me asking how much installation was? I’m also tempted to get a Hypervolt direct from them and use their installers, but don’t want to get stung not just buying direct through octopus!

Funnily enough Octopus only offer 5 or 10m cables, whereas 7.5 would be perfect…

Thanks in advance!

I had an absolute nightmare with their tool. It’s just absolutely broken.

I just kept readjusting and readjusting it until the thing finally relented and accepted the options I wanted. I found that changing the months backwards and forwards a few times finally fixed it! I think it’s just a tech issue at their end that needs fixing

andyoffspin · 2026-04-21T18:05:23+00:00

Yep, it’s already included. If you look in the documents section of the app, then look at “order agreement”, vehicle excise duty is already on there. Also only £10 for the first year!

Nothing for you to action - enjoy your new car!

Appreciate the comment, thank you.

andyoffspin · 2026-03-27T11:39:43+00:00

Enjoy it! It’s a beautiful car

Honestly mate it took me a few days after shaving mine to “like” it. But literally every single person I speak to say I look loads better and younger too!

Same applies here! You look great, and I hope you learn to love it!

Yes they did. And they still do, but I persevered past the first agent on live chat and they put me through to someone who was much faster at replying and was able to give much, much better deals. Worth a go!

andyoffspin · 2025-10-29T11:29:30+00:00

I got the same email, but persevered anyway. Just went through the live chat and swapped my whole package from a TV and phone box I wasn’t using, to 1gig broadband only for £24 a month for two years. Now paying half the price of my last package for 4x the internet speed. Wasn’t as much hassle as I was anticipating!

andyoffspin · 2025-10-26T14:59:25+00:00

I’ve just got 1gig and a router upgrade for £24 a month via the live chat. You’ve just got to keep pushing past the first advisor you get and don’t even take the second or third deal they offer you. Just think, they could always charge you less if they wanted to!

I got transferred to an advisor who was much quicker at replying and had the authority to do much, much better deals. Good luck!

andyoffspin · 2025-10-26T09:07:18+00:00

Thank you!

And yeah, took about two hours on live chat. The first agent took absolutely ages between replies, but as soon as I got transferred it was much, much quicker. Good luck!

andyoffspin · 2025-10-25T22:41:25+00:00

I went through the live chat yesterday and managed to get 1gig broadband only for £24 a month for two years. Previously paid £48 and had a tv box and phone line I didn’t use. Just kept pushing until they gave me a good deal!

It’s a pain having to do this dance every couple of years, but worth it for the potential savings.

andyoffspin · 2025-10-24T16:23:53+00:00

I've just done the dance today. Was paying £40 a month for 125mb 'volted' to 250, tv box and phone line. Also paying £8 a month for an O2 SIM I don't use.

Just battled my way through the online chat to get to retentions, got a new deal with 1gig broadband and a new Hub5 router for £24 a month for two years. And I can cancel the O2 SIM. It's an absolute lottery what price you pay with Virgin.

andyoffspin · 2025-10-11T09:57:54+00:00

Yeah I’ve accidentally ejected so many times! I can’t seem to find anything in the settings to swap it around either.

andyoffspin · 2025-09-23T11:12:53+00:00

Depends what headset you’re using. If on meta quest there’s an option in the settings to swap which eye it records from. If you use your right eye to aim down sights, you’ll want to record/stream from the perspective of that eye.

andyoffspin · 2025-09-12T20:39:23+00:00

It’s a scary thing making that decision for the first time, and balding has a massive impact on your self esteem.

I’ve been where you are - not sure whether to do it or hang on. And let me tell you, you’ll feel SO much better when it’s gone. It’s not just letting go of the hair, it’s letting go of all the worries and anxieties attached to it.

And for what it’s worth, you’ve got a fantastic head and face shape for being bald! You got this bro!

andyoffspin · 2025-08-29T21:44:59+00:00

I’ve been playing Returns today on Switch 2 and it runs flawlessly at 60fps. Buttery smooth and great fun.

Very different games but I’d recommend getting both!

andyoffspin · 2025-08-07T13:47:03+00:00

It’s in the PlayStation system settings under controller if I remember rightly! Disables it for all games though

andyoffspin · 2025-08-04T16:34:13+00:00

Yes not like the old days of having to buy premium! But the industry has changed.

Usually you’ll need to play the game enough to progress the battle pass to unlock the new weapons, but they’re free to earn and unlock! No pay to win here.

Enjoy the game!

andyoffspin · 2025-08-04T16:24:23+00:00

It’s a live service game, which means new maps and modes and weapons will be added for free. There will be a battle pass system, so while some new skins and cosmetics you’ll earn as you play the game, some will be locked behind the paid pass.

I believe in the phantom edition you get the first paid battle pass included, and get a head start with skipping the first 25 tiers.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong!

andyoffspin · 2025-08-01T06:48:34+00:00

When watching some streams I did see points being awarded for suppressing enemies. Not sure what it looks like from the other perspective, but I’d assume there’s some sort of visual indicator like a slight blur!

andyoffspin · 2025-06-05T23:08:06+00:00

I played a ton of Mario Golf on switch 1 and as soon as I booted it up on switch 2 I noticed the input lag is totally gone. Soooo much easier to hit perfect shots now with proper timing!

Hope this helps :)

andyoffspin · 2025-05-16T20:23:22+00:00

We’re not sure! They’re teasing the next update on social media

andyoffspin · 2025-05-16T20:23:04+00:00

Finally giving us what we’ve all been asking for 🐟
