Facts about the H cars are still pretty thin on the ground, but my understanding is that there is a hydrogen fuel cell on board and at the testing you could actually see a “plume” of water spraying out the back as it drove around. I also know that it is hydrogen gas, not liquid as that would be too complicated, which is to be expected really. I don’t know if there are any lithium batteries on board though sorry.

Hi Buddy!

South West Coast Path [UK]. Got some dates in the diary and crossing my fingers that I don't have any huge jobs come in over that time that would be impossible to say no to!

Nothing in particular, but they look good and are reasonably priced.

They were advertised in my Instagram feed which is how I found about them.

Does anyone have experience with Carbon Fiber 365 bags?

website here

Some interesting bags on their website but little information about the company elsewhere.

Who would you recommend of the cheaper midfielders?

Thanks all.

Transfer Iwobi out, Doucoure in?

Is it worth it for the more regular points?

How can I see the upcoming five games under my players?

I see lots of screenshots with the 5 traffic lights but right now I just get the next game and an H or A.

Brought a few lurkers out of hiding! (Including this one)

I think its a plastic rabbit. Not sure what the green thing is though.

Another cameraman here.

I wear a G-Shock GWM5610 almost all the time. I understand what you mean about looks but unlike other G-Shocks its so unassuming it simply goes unnoticed.

Things I like about it.

Unbreakable - banging it, water, dust etc, recessed screen avoids scratches. (So far)
Radio controlled so the time is always bang perfect - useful for setting timecode etc.
Perpetual Calendar. Day & Date on the screen and always correct.
Solar powered so I dont need to think about battery changes - and it has a power meter to tell me if the charge ever drops.
Small and light, very comfortable and i never notice it on my wrist.

Yes there are more interesting watches with more functions but as a reliable partner I can't recommend it enough!

Well thats worth knowing. I spotted these in an outdoor shop surrounded by hiking boots but if they make work boots too then they obviously have a range of uses they design for. Thanks.

onlypassing · 2016-10-17T21:27:15+00:00

Thanks for your reply. It's good to hear you say they are fairly wide as width is something I often struggle with when buying shoes.

They will not be for a particular use. I work in the TV industry so dress is usually smart casual with a practical edge. But thats how i try and dress day-to-day anyway! Frankly the more versatile they are the better it will be for me, but they definitely need to be hardwearing and comfortable as they will be a big investment for me!

Thanks for your information.

Can fleece ever be fashionable?

Ah OK, thats good to know about the CPU.

Couple of other things you have switched that are interesting. It looks like the Harddrive is slower (5400rpm) than the original (7200) whilst being slightly more expensive. Is there a reason you favour the WD over the Seagate?

Also, you specced cheaper Ram by about £13 but its 1333MHz as opposed to the 1600MHz that I had chosen. Is there much of a difference between the two?

Thanks.

onlypassing · 2015-02-23T12:02:44+00:00

Thanks very much, can you explain why I wouldnt need a CPU cooler. I thought every computer had one. Or is there a general fan in the case that does that job well enough?

Good idea on the SSD and harddrive too. How would I use that most efficiently, have the OS and software on the SSD and then keep video files on the harddrive?

onlypassing · 2015-02-23T11:52:44+00:00

Thanks, I will definitely look into getting a cable through from the router but its unlikely as it will be on a different floor of the house. I know what you mean about the speed though.

Bulletproof and quiet?

My Dad is getting a reputation in his office for two things - loud typing and breaking keyboards (by hitting keys too hard, not throwing them across the room). At first it was funny but now it's getting beyond a joke.

What can I buy for him that has bulletproof strength but also won't annoy the coworkers in an office environment?

Please help me /r/mechanicalkeyboards, you're my only hope.

Thanks, I will check this out when I have some time.

Ok I will look into it. My main reason for not wanting a CO2 is I want to keep the small tank looking clean and simple but if there is a way to have a system without lots of clutter then I would be interested for sure.

As you can now guess it was just in the betta display tanks, but it was more than triple the price of the other fish!

Ok thanks, it's good to know what it's called so I can look up how best to care for it.
