My old construction business, my partner thought it would be a great idea if we branched out in also supplying kit cars.
A stupid trade, and the cars looked ridiculous and nobody buys them.
I didn't say sell them, I said build one. Fair play some look stupid but some look superb, i.e. AK Cobra, Rocket Mk 2 exoskeleton, some of the latest Robinhoods.

Then, rather than look at them, go out and have some fun driving them.

Yes but to build one, you first have to buy one, and to buy one, someone has to be selling them :p
 
Here in Africa you have to boil the water for 10 minutes unless:
1. You want a three day flushing detox.
2. Your toilet is equipped with mud flaps
3. You enjoy the taste of anti biotics.

Where abouts in Africa are you fella ?

You from there or working there ?
 
Working there Eastern DRC, though currently in Rwanda as I have some visa issues.
Home is Ashford Kent.

Do you mind me asking what work you do out there ? Pretty remote place to be living and working. Do you fly into DRC ? They've got one of the worst air safety records in the world !

I'd love to visit that part of Africa sometime. I've done a bit of travelling in the north west from Morocco down through Mauritania and into Senegal. But I'd really like to see the interior, there's a big tourism drive in Rwanda now, Arsenal have even got a promotion for it on their shirts.

I fly into Rwanda, Kigali, then on to Kamembe with is on the border. You are right re air safety in the Congo. I've only ever flown internally once and it was frightening. It was and old Russian 1950's cargo plane with a tailgate fitted with old bus seats. I came close to getting arrested because I was taking pictures of all of the crashed planes, they just bulldoze them to the edge of the airfield.
Rwanda is brilliant. Clean, safe and becoming more and more like a western country. Roads, schools, hospitals all being built. Well worth a visit. The president is doing a fantastic job despite being a gooner:grin:
 
I am asking a question .

We are having an extension built . the WI-FI signal in the new section is crap .

Mate says it's because of the modern insulation and the foil on it .

It's only an extension on a small bungalow .

I have bt BB / WI-Fi .

Anyone recommend any decent wi-fi extenders ?

Just get a new router, as you shouldn’t need boosters in a small bungalow, tell BT and they might sort you one for nowt if you say you’re thinking of jibbing them off.

Depends how far away he is and how many walls are in between.

Kingspan foil board shouldn’t interfere with your WiFi signal mate, they use that **** everywhere now.
