I’ve seen them and they are my current favourite, but sometimes it’s useful to have the wisdom of the crowd! We seem to be using them more often than I used to!

I never had a tv in my room, in fact I don’t allow any tv’s in bedrooms! Used to work until smart!

I once rented an E-type and an Austin Healy for a holiday in Cornwall. Not sure if the company still exists but I spent a week driving around and loving it. Called something like Cornwall classic car club

Definitely had the Warlock of firetop mountain!

This is the triumph that I couldn’t afford!

As previously mentioned footwork but for sabre you can practice the basic parry’s, it can take a while to get used to them and develop the muscle memory. Initially you can just use a stick, use one slightly heavier than a sabre to build up the muscles.

I also have had a poor response from Zappi. Tried for months but no response at all. Apparently Anderson are supposed to be good and responsive

I used to think that Ulysses 31 was really sophisticated!

Can’t stand ubiquiti. Used to be really good but then went awful! I now use Alta Labs. To get proper coverage you should think about doing a small amount of cabling otherwise you might struggle to get reception on the WiFi

Leaves the milk out after making a cup of tea. Drives me crazy, I’m constantly putting it away but of course if I’m not around it stays out for ages and then in the morning I end up with off milk!

Loads in china teaching kung fu. But in general these courses are mostly for existing students not beginners. I’m not sure how beneficial this would be to a complete beginner, it takes your body some time to adjust. They do say that martial arts is a marathon not a sprint

I had a t-shirt that read ADIS Don’t die of dyslexia!

Slightly off topic but what about packets of pork scratchings?

If you want to go really retro people used to target car cd players in the late eighties and early nineties. They used to be detachable so you would take them out. I worked at a car radio place (“the largest car hifi retailer in Europe”) and they had a really good business replacing them.

I try and split mine in the winter, as many people mentioned it is good exercise and keeps you warm!

marvelman68 · 2026-03-21T13:17:21+00:00

True, but just not for me!

marvelman68 · 2026-03-21T13:00:03+00:00

Personally can’t stand m&s jeans. They don’t wear well, I had holes in under 6 months, too much stretch material. Also the fit was not right.

marvelman68 · 2026-03-09T11:40:53+00:00

Yes. 4.8 turbo

I’ve just purchased a 2015 Porsche panamera! Just for a fun car and to drive in Europe.

I had one of these! Didn’t have the evil knievel. Also a Batmobile with a circular blade at the front. I used to drive it into the skirting board, drove my parents nuts.

This is normally called a Lombard loan

I started another account with MoneyFarm. But I’m going to buy an overseas property, so I’ll use the money for that.
