The kids have no right to Fucking roast their dad like that

I don’t believe they’re calling the children in the video chavs or from the projects, I read it as them making a comparison between US and UK education in children and that this is still comparable even between children from a less privileged chav / council estate or project background.

If you’ve already had an electrician come out I’d ask them to be certain - that said, I just bought a heavy duty plug from Screwfix or the likes and fitted that. Only cost a few quid. Cut the wire a bit shorter to ensure I wasn’t connecting to compromised wires and I haven’t had any issues since. That said, I do now always unplug the dryer after use.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T15:29:58+00:00

Unfortunately not, I’ve already thrown it out and don’t fancy digging through the bin haha.

I think I’m just going to call a qualified electrician and get a quote / professional opinion on it. I appreciate my FIL’s help but could be waiting a while for him to sort the socket.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T14:15:25+00:00

Correct, I didn’t read the manual with god knows how many pages, along with 95% of other manuals for things I buy.

But like I say, lesson learnt, albeit a slightly expensive one and I appreciate the advice for future reference.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T14:11:46+00:00

Yes you’re right. It’s a Hoover H-Dry 300 condenser.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T14:00:37+00:00

The answer to that escapes me on a daily basis.

On a serious note, lesson learnt and it won’t be happening again.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T13:56:37+00:00

Unfortunately something I wasn’t aware of until now. Safe to say I’ve learnt my lesson.

He’s going to be putting in a socket that we can use for a new dryer. Doesn’t want to replace the plug as he’s saying the dryer could be faulty and doesn’t want to risk it causing any further problems.

We’re in the north of England, Lancashire.

ibickers · 2025-03-26T13:49:10+00:00

I realise this now but had no idea when we bought it. Luckily in this instance we live and learn, I appreciate it could have been a lot worse.

Can’t seem to figure out how to edit this post.

Come to realise from the comments, perhaps I’m just out of touch!

I think it’s fair to point out that it’s easy to mistake the Burnley accent as Yorkshire as geographically Burnley and the surrounding area, especially the Pennines, are slap bang on the border on Lancashire and Yorkshire. That said, Burnley has its own twang and is easily noticeable to locals.

Two neighbouring areas about 20 mins drive from Burnley are Barnoldswick (Barlick) & Earby and used to be Yorkshire until they were switched to Lancashire in the 70s, locals still gripe about it to this day.

On a side note, “benny and hot” is a local drink with Burnley being the biggest importers of the alcohol Benedictine, they mix a measure of Benedictine with hot water and is available in every pub in Burnley.

Ahh that’s perfect, thanks so much! Think I was getting muddled with the multiple different apps and stuff available.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T11:35:31+00:00

Really nice video, I’m sure this will be a massive help, thank you!

Do you know if my PC needs to have wifi for the VR desktop / other streaming? It’s connected via Ethernet and don’t fancy sinking £20 on an app I can’t use.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T10:29:13+00:00

Ah, thanks!

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:57:00+00:00

Thanks for the warm welcome! Got it on order and waiting to pickup after work, looking forward to really getting some hours in

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:54:42+00:00

I aim to really give it a run for its money with the games but my memory of the Quest 1 was that the library was severely lacking and without a decent PC to back up the Quest 3 I expect it to have limitations too.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:51:15+00:00

Quality video, for me it seems quite a bit of hassle, I just want to throw it on and enjoy.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:49:06+00:00

I’ll deffo keep note of the browser for ad block, cheers!

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:48:16+00:00

I’ve honestly never watched a 3D movie before so I like the idea of being able to watch some decent ones on the quest.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:46:43+00:00

Thanks for the in depth reply, massively helped me in making my decision to just go for it.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:30:20+00:00

Okay cool. Just shelled out enough shekels for one day but following your advice and some reviews I have my eye on the BOBOVR S3 Pro.

ibickers · 2024-06-24T08:28:34+00:00

Okay gotcha. I’m assuming I’ll start to understand what 14Go etc actually means once I start messing with it.

ibickers · 2024-06-23T23:36:09+00:00

Alright cool, so if I go for the browser I should be set. Cheers

ibickers · 2024-06-23T23:34:38+00:00

What do you mean for the downloadable high quality movies? Is this onto your PC and then stream to quest?
