    Search “APG stove” for the same item on Ali Express. I have one and it works really well. Delivery time is a bit random,

    We just about managed this with a Honda Civic, which was astoundingly roomy inside. Worth a look.

    I received items last week which I ordered on 14th February! Still one item outstanding. As above, open but slow.

    I have a personal and irrational hatred of Leaf-Blowers! As far as I can tell they are noisy, pointless things used to push dirt from place to place, whilst raising as much dust as possible. Why don’t they suck? It would seem to make much more sense

    I have used Moneybox for just over a year, the cash ISA. I find the app and the overall experience to be very positive. It is easy to vote and vary your savings amount and the app has meaningful investment projections. To date my overall return has been well above the bank rate but was running as a negative for a while.
    I haven’t used the round-up feature as it’s not supported by my bank.

    Craghoppers had stopped the XL in the Kiwi, however they appear to have started again, in navy only. I bought two pairs this summer from one of their stores, had to be ordered in. Haven’t been able to buy them for quite a few years.
    5.11 from medtree.co.uk are definitely worth considering. Lots of them available with 36″ leg

    Have a Google at this “GoSea Glide Large Single Adult + Child 10ft Kayak” This should seek to fit your requirements. I paddled one with my daughter in an estuary and we found it you be very stable and enjoyable.

    I am awaiting a quote on the shipping costs, should I brace myself?

    I sold mine recently. Clutch squeaked the whole time I had it!
    Very little else about it annoyed me. Would definitely have another one

    Is it a prong from a watch buckle? or the beak of a baby Robin?

    I’m on a Galaxy S9, with Android. Doesn’t matter if I’m logged on or out. I get the pop-up with every page change. It’s extremely frustrating. Only happens on this site. I did raise a similar thread several weeks ago about this. Nothing has improved, in the interim.

    As above, local library service. You can access ebooks and audio books for free via their website, once your signed up.

    My wife has a Honda Civic hatchback (2008). The boot is astounding and the rear seats are very versatile in their folding options. If you can find an estate version it has to be worth a look.

    Contact Omega directly and provide the serial number. A much more direct approach than contacting the police.

    It would be a brilliant finder’s/keepers but I’m sure somebody is missing it.

    I’ve had a Tom Tom for about a year. It is excellent. I love the fact that one device covers all my requirements. The headphones that come with it are very tinny so I use a cheap set off amazon which are much better. I find the HRM reads within one bpm of my gym’s equipment and the GPS starts much more quickly than my previous garmin. In regards to the battery life, are you using the latest software update? I get at least 5 days on stand-by now. Much more than I did when it was first purchased.

    The Hairy Biker’s casserole is brilliant. Serve it with home made bread and lots of wine! Cheese, crackers and coffee for afters. Yum

    I’m really not sure what happened to the link. It was meant to take you to the t102 transformer, which is down in price again, since I bought it. Really pleased with it both as a tablet and a pc. Currys price was great but I had a row with the store manager because I refused to provide my home address, which was absolutely none of their business.

    I got one of these which I’m very pleased with. Haven’t really used the stylus much yet though.
    Very very portable!

    Have you considered a chiropractor? I avoided one for years thinking it would be a snake oil merchant. Until I climbed of my bike one day and couldn’t straighten up. 15 minutes with chiropractor (manipulation and tens machine). I actually felt things slot into place. It takes a couple of days of recovery as the back muscles are very tired, from being in a fixed position, due to the injury. Overall it was the best £20 I ever spent. I now go back once or twice a year depending on injuries. Ask around for local recommendations. Got to worth a try for a quick fix.

    I’ve used the army one under a tarp, in a storm, it was excellent. Only downfall, and it applies to most bivvies, is that the face area is open. I woke with a slug on my forehead!

    My Bosch is 17yrs and still going strong. Never been cleaned and has been badly treated since new. Still going strong, I am amazed at it’s awesomeness. Would definitely buy another if it failed. It owes me nothing.

    If this is a commercial enterprise then it may contravene planning regulations. The local council should be able to advise. Definitely not a police matter.

    This is a bit mad but I’d give them an A for effort

    If it were me I’d take the reject option. Based on these initial issues the car would always be tainted in my mind, regardless of how well repaired. Plus I have to agree with others, it sounds like they sold you a lemon. Good luck.

    About 20 years ago you could buy a Crud Bung. This was essentially a bar end plug for precisely this job. It kind of solved a problem which didn’t exist.

    Virgin definitely do supply broadband without a landline. I have this for my internet, Freesat box for tv and mobile for phone calls.

    Call the council. Some councils have bye laws which allow them to issue 7 day notices on nuisance vehicles which appear to be abandoned. No response to the notice and they get towed.

    Have you looked at Decathlon? Race Vest
    Brilliant value compared to others. I’ve used one for a year with no issues.

    I’ve ridden the Wicklow Way and walked it several times. It’s brilliant. Great scenery and terrain. Theoretically you’re not supposed to ride most of it. However I’ve never had any issues or conflict. We’ve always ridden at a leisurely pace and stayed at hostels and b&bs.Takes 2&1/2 days each way. You could ride it in both directions. There’s a few epic climbs, be warned.

    Taking Good Friday and Easter Monday into account, if it was dispatched on Thursday, then three working days is not up until tomorrow.

    Have you tried holding the power button in, until something happens – hopefully. Approximately 30 seconds.

    I have a collection of Uni-Ball Power Tank pens. They are simply brilliant. Like a spacepen they write upside down and are waterproof. Constant ink-flow without smudging. The actual pens are very cheap and extremely durable. Refills are available making running costs even cheaper. Fantastic pens, there’s even a choice of ball size and a slightly posher version, if you’re feeling flash.

    I had a frame that did this. The trick is to stop the water getting in. In my case it was through the spilt in top of seat tube to allow the seat clamp to compress. It was spray of the rear wheel. I sealed it with silicon seal. Worked a treat and was still able to adjust the seatpost.

    Completely agree with the above. I ran a shop for years and I never had a pedal come loose on its own. The only time I have seen this is when it was not properly tightened in the first place. Repairing with loctite is completely inadequate and I would suggest it is liable to a catastrophic failure.
