    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    There is news circulating that Ukraine have received 14 Su-25s in disassembled form, with suggestions that they may be from Bulgaria. Is this new information? Surely reassembling fighter jets is a bit of a long job?

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    It seems they have their own shale gas fields (interesting article here: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-foreign-investment-imports/30165068.html) but I’m not sure it would be enough to make much of a dent to the EU’s needs? I’m sure that is also recognised by the Kremlin as another reason to...

    OcUK Dadsnet thread

    We’re expecting our second little one mid may, after a 7 year hiatus. Super excited about it, and seem to be taking a much more relaxed/affordable approach to preparing this time which I only think is a good thing.

    I know absolutely sod all about nitro. But if it helps, the HPI would get my money!

    RC cars

    Well it reinforces all of the stuff I’ve read about LiPo safety! Now on the hunt for some hard case lower mah battery’s - less expensive if there are any issues! On that, does anyone have any experience of cheaper 3S battery’s? Looking at Goldbat, Zeee and a few others? Seeing as I destroyed a...

    RC cars

    That’s sensible. I’m 2 days into having a big Rock. One battery has already had to be retired but other than that, great fun. Had a tumble, the battery slid out of the harness and got damaged and then started to blister/leak at one end. An expensive mistake but better to retire it than have a...

    RC cars

    It’s been a few years since I’ve owned anything RC but have had a bit of an itch for a few months. Initially this manifested itself in me buying some smaller rc cars for my 7 year old, but that didn’t help. After having a bit of a read around what I had budget for, I settled on ordering an...

    DIY Kitchens

    We put a kitchen in from DIY Kitchens about 5/6 years ago. Still looks great and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Looking round the showroom certainly helped with the shopping list as there were lots of things I would have probably forgotten. The only regret I have is not ordering the undercounter...

    Is this normal with car insurance?

    I've gone from £260 last year on a 51 plate Ford Focus to £320 on a 64 plate PHEV, which includes a provisional driver as well. Though I'll prepare for a bad year next year based on this lot!

    Mental health budgets 'still being cut despite pledge'

    This is all very sad. Someone very close to me has been experiencing a very severe bout of anxiety and depression for over a year now. This means they can't leave the house on their own, constantly upset and generally completely miserable. The NHS has done nothing but throw medication at them...

    ***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

    Did you use the Sweden Post option? How long did it take to arrive? I'm waiting on some bits I ordered towards the end of August.

    ***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

    I'm getting some leaking from the bottom air holes on a TFV8 which I can't seem to resolve, any ideas for things to check? Once refilled all juice gets dumped out of the air holes!

    ***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

    I've just ordered myself an IPV5 and some other bits from a UK based site, but I noticed that GearBest now has notices about not delivering to England on their website - how do you get around this?! Not seen this before, and haven't seen anyone make reference to it.

    Valuing a piece of land to sell to our neighbour

    Thanks for all of your information, it's really helpful, especially that little photoshop you've done lsg1r - thank you. The conservatory isn't there now, it was pulled down as it was an old lean-to. I think I need to put some more thought into this before we proceed, and as you say it needs to...

    Valuing a piece of land to sell to our neighbour

    See below, we did discuss this prior to him proceeding with planning permission etc! He's a really nice guy and were on very good terms, he has been perfectly civil about everything and is not pushing us into anything!

    Valuing a piece of land to sell to our neighbour

    Sorry only just caught up with the discussion! So we are on good terms, he has planning permission, and approached us in advance of all of this. I have been clear since the outset that I was not sure of the value so would get back to him to which he was happy with. Have had the solicitors fees...

    Valuing a piece of land to sell to our neighbour

    Hi guys just read through everything and there's clearly a lot I hadn't really considered. Conservatively I think he'll probably be adding about £30-£40k to the value of the house by completing the work. Considering that, the noise (my partner is at home two days a week with our little one), and...
