      I was expecting a refurbished Hoover, delivered by Yodel Monday morning. Delivery slot allocated. Nothing. Could get no joy so emailed the seller.

      They got back in touch with me and said that they would send another if it didn’t arrive by Wednesday.

      Tuesday afternoon as I was leaving to take food up to mum it arrived. Delivery bloke barely understood English. Methinks they have lots of temps ATM. :negative:

        LG TV’s with webOS use either FAT32 or NTFS.

          TCB, I use Zerobase, from memory that was similar to Cetraben and it’s available on prescription (in Wales anyway).

          I have to use Hydromol and Dermol 500

          Again they are on prescription.

            Finally got around to getting some video of the E10C

            For something that  fits on top of a can of beer I’m very impressed.

              The dinky E10C came not long ago. It’s the same size as my tiny Hubsan but much easier to fly. Compared to the E61H it’s a very twitchy but that’s bigger so it was expected. It’s not hard to fly just needs more of a delicate touch on the inputs.

              The camera is pretty good in decent light, photos and video are certainly better than expected. The micro SD card needs to be formatted as FAT32, 32GB max size. A quick format won’t do the job.

              Flips are a bit more difficult to do as you have to click the right hand stick down and then select a direction with it, that could just be me though. The E61H has a dedicated button for flips but that’s the video capture start/stop button on this model.

              Sample shot.

              Size comparison with the E61H

              I’ll get some video later on hopefully.

                Over the last 2 years, maybe 10 times.

                The option of really cheap stuff from China and sometimes quicker shipping for a bit more from Europe or the UK is nice to have.

                Only had one issue and that was sorted quickly. Ordered some solar lights for mum, 3 different power levels, I ordered the highest capacity ones and they sent the mid range ones. 33% refund was the offer which I was happy with.

                  Eachine do bigger ones as well, from just under the 250g limit when you need to register as a ‘pilot’ right up to FPV racing ones.

                  I’m truly amazed how good it is. I’d let my 10 year old nephew fly it, no problem. As long as he hasn’t had sugar. :scratch:

                  Forgot to mention that in the video I didn’t calibrate the horizontal stability so that’s why it drifts a bit. That works much better if it’s done on a hard surface but still works on carpet.

                      No problem.

                      I’ll get onto it later.

                        JCD would a 120gb Kingston be of any use for now? Pretty certain I have a unused one here.

                          John, if you have hand sanitiser take that with you and use it after using the handle.

                          Otherwise use a tissue/ bog roll to cover the handle.

                          Make sure you don’t touch your face until your hands have been washed/ sanitised.

                            Depends who you’ve shopped with Ryan.

                            Only the companies that you have already registered with (pre pandemic) are able to contact you.

                              Dave, I’m amazed.

                              The priority scheme has been running in England for maybe 2 weeks. Not sure about the actual timescale but it’s a good while.

                              The criteria might differ between England and Wales, I have no idea.

                                I managed to get a couple of  FFP2 (N95) masks from ebay a few days back and I should have a FFP3 respirator by the weekend-maybe, the listing has been removed by ebay and I’m waiting on responses from ebay/the seller.

                                The Tesco where I get my prescriptions has gone fully PPE for the pharmacy staff, all have masks and gloves and most had glasses or visors. They also have a screen around the till and new cordless card payment unit that’s handed over in a small basket and taken back to the charger in it.

                                  Lee, your’e lucky you don’t live in Wales. 50p a unit minimum price.

                                  Lots of the cans of lager I like, Asda own brand sourced from France or Germany depending on strength, went up by 50% overnight.  :negative:

                                    Cardiff City Stadium has had a big chunk of it’s car park transformed into a testing area.

                                    Looks to be at least 10 lanes, very long ones, loads of barriers all over the place and a new security portacabin type thing near the always locked (apart form match days or when it’s being used as a park and ride for events in town) secondary entrance.

                                    Loads of high viz jackets wandering around, 50 plus I’d guess. It’s not even open yet. Officially.

                                      Had a try about 10 minutes ago, something was messing with the auto focus though, possibly clouds or light pollution.

                                      I’ll transfer the photos tomorrow and see if there’ anything worth keeping.

                                            If it’s clear here (looking hopeful so far) I’ll certainly try.
