Was looking to add a hive thermostat to the combi boiler, as we don't have any kind of thermostat, so the heating is either on or off, and the only control to turn it on or off is on the combi itself.
Looked at Hive and they wanted £139 for the thermostat and hub, and £109 fitting. So £248 all in.
Thought ****e with that.
Bought the thermostat and hub from screwfix for £104.
Watched a youtube video on how to install on a Baxi boiler and have done it this morning, and all up and running.
Needed to buy 1m of 5 core flex, so cost of installation was 80p!
Total cost....£104.80.

Youtube is bloody marvelous.
Brilliant mate, I bloody love You Tube.
 
This issue has been ignored because it's difficult to police, doesn't directly affect the middle classes and results in hundreds more prisoners we have to house. I think it's one of the biggest problems we have with thousands of victims, increasingly organised crime and the decimation of impoverished areas.

I'm really pleased to see there's just been 1,600 arrests and a real 'smack' in the face of these disgusting people ...

I only got the Revell Porsche Martini. I was gonna get the Maclaren as well but was sold out.
I asked the lad in the shop if they were getting any more and he reckoned not. Said they only got 2 of each of the cars.
Had loads of the ships left.


They've closed our local Lidl and built a new one. Called in this morning off nights and tons of models compared to very little in the old store.
I picked up a HMS Victory while I was there. Fook it :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

Been in ours a couple times, and still no more cars in.
I'll check the one next to where I work when I'm back in next week, see if they've got the Maclaren.
 
I haven't posted this in the music thread because to me it's about so much more than the music. I'm not much of Coldplay fan but Dick Van Dyke was in the big films of my childhood so respect to him. Hard to watch this without a tear in my eye.

Respect to Chris Martin too.

Hi mate, we have just had a new Lidl open and haven’t had a chance to look in there yet.
Is the shop much cop?
I prefer Aldi for normal day to day stuff.
I only go in lidl if there's something in their "special buys" I'm after. You can see what's in or coming up on their website.
An example....the Revell 1/24 scale model cars they had in were £19.99, the Maclaren one on Amazon is £31.99, so a canny difference.

Help please! On my phone 606 has started swamping with adverts, says sign in to stop. Can't remember password, and when I go ''forgot password'' says it will send an email, but doesn't.
Ah - change it on my laptop I thought. But you need to verify change with old one -- but doesn't have the ''forgot password '' facility. Any ideas ?

Re: Michail Antonio car crash today. Anyone seen that alleged car image. Nobody gets out of that alive.
