The Park Tool Guy has retired! Someone on here put me on to his repair and maintenance videos and they’ve been great.

I got a Decathlon gravel bike. It’s a great bike. Decathlon sells at many levels, the lower ones aren’t great in terms of components but the higher level ones are great value.

The second season of The Night Manager just started on BBC1 today. International release on Jan 11th. The first season was incredible. A great remake of a Le Carre novel. This second season is brand brand new in terms of story though as Le Carre died in 2020 and the first season covered the...

I like my Trek Rosco hardtail. Pretty decent specs/price and I saw a few on marketplace while I was looking for one so they crop up occasionally.

Watched another one from the BBC list. One Battle After Another with Leonardo diCaprio According to all the reviews this should have been a sleeper Oscar contender/film of the year yadda yadda yadda. It was good, but not that good. The main actors are really good but Benicio del Toro and...

Happy new year to everyone wherever you are. Here’s to hoping 2026 is better than 2025.

If the furball has hound in it then make sure your yard is escape proof. They are experts at escaping. Our rescue beagle used to regularly escape but would come back after a bit but only after begging for pizza crusts at a local pizzeria. We're reasonably sure that’s how she survived when she...

Marine cone snails terrify me. I've never actually seen one but they inject conotoxin which is game over. Lots of marine things are very bad for you. I used to keep a marine coral that was one of the most toxic in the world too and was concerned about the live rocks I was buying hiding...

John Hamm in Your Friends and Neighbours. Really good start to this series on Apple TV so far. Over time I've come to really like Hamm as an actor. In Mad Men I thought he might just be a pretty face in a trendy hit show but he actually has depth. As a villain in Fargo that became apparent...

Don’t use mine as much since I got an Insta360. The 360 degree view thing is just so nice.

I think I'm going to just try to work through these. I've found reviews don’t always give you an idea if the film is for you as I've found some poorly reviewed films to be great and some with rave reviews I hate. If I can’t take the first 10 mins I'll give it the boot. Just watched The Ballad...

Looked at this today.. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250423-the-best-films-of-2025 Already watched one on this list. The others look great so this is the template for the next few weeks.

I see this as good news. The untalented complaining about the even less talented taking over in a social media space full of bollocks. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3wyplnev1o

Boxing Day has usually been good for cheap subscription deals for channels but it’s a bit of a bust this year. Just got another free week of Apple TV but was hoping for a deal on Fubo TV like last year. Amazon Prime has Paramount for $5.99 a month for 3 months but I don’t know if that's worth...

Been running this mini split heat pump for a week now and I'm seriously impressed. It's completely silent and the way it heats isn’t something I'm used to. Get up close to it (to see if it’s actually on) and the air that comes out doesn’t “feel” that warm at times but the entire room is...

I don’t know about Godzilla but this is my guru… https://www.facebook.com/reel/1148744767244137/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e

Make sure you change all your credit cards to reflect the new title and next time someone shouts “is there a doctor on board?” on a plane don't forget to shout out “yes” before sitting back down.

Under 5k all in for a 12k BTU Fujitsu 10 year warrantied unit mini split heat pump/AC being fitted this week. In this day and age that isn’t too bad in my book. If I’d have done it myself it would have been 3k+after consumer chinese unit purchase/ materials and electrician fee and that would...

Also while she's still very young take her food bowl away from her every now and then and give it back after a short period. What you're tying to do here is take away food protection issues and also teach the puppy who is alpha. You don’t have to do this for long just a few times. It may have...

Here's a tip for you. Go get her groomed while she’s still very young so she can get used to the noise and the people etc. Lovely looking dog btw.
