      A bloke in London got mugged for his toilet rolls as he walked out the shop. Things are getting a bit mad in London.

        My misses went to Lidl on Saturday there was a woman with a trolley full of toilet rolls when she got to the checkout the operator said she hasn’t seen anything like it people just buying toilet rolls and kitchen rolls and not food which she thought was odd as if your going to hole up for a few weeks food would be a priority. We nipped in tonight no toilet rolls no kitchen rolls and lucky for us there was one pack of pasta on the shelf which was all we needed for tea there was no rice  to be seen just an empty shelf  but we didn’t need that anyway. Our local shop has its full stock of toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and dried goods. I can’t see pasta and toilet roll or pasta and kitchen towel making a tasty meal 😆

            That was him I think numerous people kept writing in and taking the p!ss claiming to be him because he wrote in so much (I think that was how it panned out).  That’s why he became I’m the real Andrew Redding.

              As long as she can stream the now tv and netflix in the caravan I’ll be happy where we stay when we set up the freeview we can only pick up Irish tv channels. The 4g signal there is strong so hopefully it will all work ok.

              Cheers Mark

                Thanks I will tell her to order it. The place we spend a lot of time at (our quiet place) on the Llyn peninsula is out in the sticks but gets a really good 4g reception despite having the sea in front and hills everywhere else.

                Cheers Mark

                  Dave have you had any experience with the B535 the misses has got her new caravan (wants broadband for now tv and stuff in the van) and has seen it on 3 we can get it for £17 a month.

                    John if you have to take it in to get it tracked get them to check the engine and gearbox mounts worn mounts will cause  that problem and a failing drive shaft will to some extent. Normally bad tracking is more noticeable through the steering wheel. The track rod ends should have been in the same position they where before the suspension replacement ( normally no need to loosen them unless they are being replaced) so should still be straight.

                        Bob

                        We went down to Gibraltar point once just to find it with the intention of going again but haven’t made it back there. This time of year would be good to get down there with the seals pupping or pupped as the case may be. We once left Grimsby on the way in after a greasy spoon brekkie and the satnav took us the scenic route (little back roads) down to Ingoldmells via Mablethorpe and Chapel St Leonards but we haven’t been back up that way to visit. Donna Nook is on my to do list at some point.

                          It depends on what games he wants to play I suspect it will play some games at low to medium settings ok as its on board but will struggle with other games on these settings. It all comes down to what he wants to play and the amount of eye candy he wants. You see so many pcs advertised with gt710 / gt720 graphics cards as gaming pcs which is again ok for low end games but they are not really for gaming at all. It all comes down to the games he wants to play and expectations. Someone will be along with more knowledge and will probably give you a better idea.

                            Steve

                            I agree I go fishing down that stretch quite a bit park the car up come back its full of shit I think all the holiday parks down that stretch have played a big  part in the amount of gulls that are present. Bob we normally go over to Skeggy for a long weekend at least once a year I have seen the extent of the wind farms part of the North Wale coastline is pretty much the same with more and more being erected as Steve probably sees everyday.

                              Bob have you tried through computer management in administrative tools then disk management that normally shows the partitions in use and lets you delete the others. I once had to do it through cmd line after I had established the ones that weren’t needed as disk management wouldn’t do it but the cmd line way worked.

                                  ………..so the sea based ones must be doing their fair share as well.

                                  Yes – a very good job of culling the numbers of seagulls!!! No bad thing there!!!

                                  I’m with you on the seagulls they are a bloody menace I should have been a bit clearer I still meant birds of prey but the big ass ones white tail eagles up north. I’m going to see if I can find the program or details about it. One of the fishing tackle shops I used a few years ago in Rhos on Sea had a live camera under the wind farms off the Rhos coast (that whole coastline is full of them) the marine life lots of it was amazing to see. As Richard said the under sea side of them is doing a lot for the marine life

                                      Blacklion in some cases the green energy from the turbines is doing harm they are killing more birds than humans do. But they are no where near as bad as domestic cats when it comes to killing birds. I saw a program once about the turbines and birds there where a few videos showing some birds of prey meeting the reaper not nice to see these where land based farms so the sea based ones must be doing their fair share as well.

                                        I’ve had a little look around and a few people seem to recommend the seagate hdds as being good for xbox. A trip down to currys to have a look at them at the weekend may be in order. I really need to catch up on tech.

                                        Cheers guys

                                          Just to let you know she ordered the HP one same model as above but without the camera(the other sold). At least she will be able to delete them spam emails about recording her watching porn etc in confidence that’s if she gets any.

                                          Thanks again

                                            Dave that looks like a good one as well and she may have more chance of getting one of those as yesterday when I looked  there was only 1 HP (still is) in stock she doesn’t get her student funding til Monday. Ill show her it in the morning. She said a few of her uni mates have bought those crappy 32 gig things

                                            Thanks Mark
