    Reset A-GPS state, then download fresh A-GPS data. Use “GPS Status & toolbox” app to do it. I had to do this every few weeks on my last phone to maintain good gps. New phone is cool but I still do every now n then.
    + As mentioned, keep your mobile data on.

    I’ve ridden minion exo’s there without a problem. P.s. drop in to the new bike shop in Bubion (http://www.alpujarrabikes.com) my Brother owns it, (used to guide for switchbacks), say hello (Brian and Lynn). So tyres available should the worst happen…

    I got charged by a badger tonight! Was alone on trail next to a fence and suddenly heard something thundering towards me from the front. Just caught sight of it in the lights. I think it stopped and reared up just as i got to it, didn’t hit it, felt no attack..
    Scared the bejeesus out of me, i hooned it off but it didn’t follow thank god.

    My brother and his Mrs’s bike shop opened this last year in Bubion, just up the road from Orgiva if you feel like checking it out anytime…

    You get a few travellers in Orgiva, they mostly live down on the riverbed. Great part of the world to live imo.

    A month or so back I too had to go to a&e with crippling kidney pain, rolling around on floor etc. They did a ct scan and found 2 stones making their way down. As you mentioned even the iv morphine doesn’t touch it.

    The pain subsided while i was in hospital so they discharged me saying they should pass. They gave me codeine, paracetamol and Volterol suppositories to take home. They asked me to sieve my piss to try catch them.

    Couple of days later they passed and i caught them. I had follow up ct scan a few weeks later (they dont like doing too many ct scans, radiation etc, usually no more than 1 per month) The follow up ct scan showed they had passed and that the ureter looked ok. No infection. It’s been ok since.

    I still have a stone in the kidney which has been there for over 10 years and isn’t causing any pain/trouble. Luckily i haven’t needed a stent.

    Cant help with whether they should remove the stent first or not but they are the experts, let them know your concerns regarding pain meds but none seem to help much with the pain as you know.

    They are ridiculously painful and i wouldnt wish them on anyone. Good luck.

    Same as above. Maxxis would sell me a SS direct for £50 but not available in any shops. I went with a Rock Razor.

    Last Ryanair flight I went on they piled up all the bags that wouldnt fit in the overhead lockers, on the floor, behind the cockpit door! Was prob 10+ years ago on a late evening flight back from spain.
    Now I just book BA early. Not much price difference if you book early enough. Get to choose your seat, hold bag + cabin bag, free food and grog.

    OLED is the way to go. Every pixel can light itself, amazing blacks. Only LG make them at the moment but i suspect they will start supplying the others with panels soon. Just a shame the good one is £2500 (down from £3400) in currys.

    CES show is at start of Jan, prob best to wait until thats over as new models etc will be announced. Old ones may get cheaper.

    I got one last week after struggling with a schwalbe rear tyre for a week. None of the usual tricks worked including using a 60psi space-saver spare car tyre as a source.
    Went straight up with the airshot at 110psi :D Core screwed into my schwalbe valve fine.
    Expensive for what it is but works great.

    Yep, my 9speed one is easy once you get the knack. Made a lot easier if you make a loop in the chain with the chain hook that is on the side of your multitool chain splitter that you don’t use anymore.

    Snip the legs of the old cap leaving a bit sticking up, solder new legs to old stubs, shorten the new legs first if space an issue.

    Just to quadruple check, you are loosening clockwise and tightening anticlockwise correct? (forget arrows and which way up bike is etc)

    Always amusing when the chemist asks you why you’re buying it.

    Mine eyed me suspiciously and flat out refused to sell it to me lol.
    Just as well you can get 5L tubs of 99.9% IPA on ebay.

    Amused that they have an entire sub-forum for “am I being unreasonable?”

    And several acronyms – AIBU (am i being unreasonable)
    YABVU (you are being very unreasonable) i presume.

    They had my house at the bottom of the road and had the road name slightly wrong. I just told them via the feedback thing i think and they changed it within a week. Courier deliveries often went to a road round the corner which has same name but is road and not close.

    As a lifelong Spurs fan i’m obviously a bit disappointed that we haven’t won for the first time in my life. If you had asked at beginning of season I would have taken Champions league so overall it’s a great season. Team is looking good going forward, all young too.

    All season I was cheering on Leicester though (until spurs had a chance) and don’t begrudge them winning at all. It’s been amazing to see tbh.

    Friend has been banging on about getting the vive. Went to try one out in one of the three or four pcworlds that have one to try. Result = Not high enough res, needs to be 4k, wires everywhere. Nvidia 980 at least really required. We both have 980ti’s which are only just good enough. At 4k they won’t be good enough..

    Forget solar, that’s a massive head. Just get a reasonably powerful sump pump, throw it in and just plug it in when you need it. Most have float valves in case water level drops too low and will shut it off. Most will state what head they will pump to for a certain flow rate.
