    Help with buying Air Conditioning / Room Cooling

    Fair play with all the comments coming in and very useful. I've not pulled the trigger on anything yet and looking at all options. This looks a rather good choice and the quietness is the big thing too. She doesn't mind white noise background and having something from a UK company always is...

    GoodHome Takoma Mobile Air Conditioner | Air Conditioning | Screwfix.com Looking to punt for one of these - reviews look good, they have them local to me and it's not ridiculous as a cost.

    Help with buying Air Conditioning / Room Cooling

    Cheers for that, I'd not considered a split system as of yet but that's quite a lot of coin. I like the portable idea but I've been reading about the noise, perhaps that's a thought anyway with switching it off. Ceiling fans - not thought about that to be honest, interesting to hear your...

    Howdy, Yes it's on the cusp of April however due to a medical condition my partner is suffering with she is going through hot sweats throughout the night which is making her life a misery and significantly affecting her sleep. (Yes she's getting the professional supports around this but it's...

    Family car for under £20K (used). Audi vs. Skoda?

    A5 Sportback owner here for the last 4 years. I've been delighted with it, 5 doors, great boot space and so far, extremely reliable. For 20k you could certainly pinch a new shape 17/18 plate with a low mileage. It wasn't a consideration for us at the time and only really knew about the 2...

    Is there a "cool" convertible?

    We're also thinking of getting an S5 cab to replace our sportback A5. I personally think they look great and confident we would also manage to cope with the tiny performance drop. I've yet to test drive one but encouraging to hear it's fun with the roof down.

    Is there a "cool" convertible?

    I had a Mk1 Eunos Roadster in Classic Red around 2003. Red with a Tan Roof. - 1990, pop up headlights, vintage Loved it, fabulous drive and still miss it. A MX5 Mk2.5 black with a red mohair roof around 2012. Not quite as engaging to drive and was a good car until it rusted away! Went to...

    Shed Base

    I'll give advice, understandably that it might not be possible for yourself as I don't know your circumstances. However, that sounds a lot of money which essentially you're paying for the labour - the material costs are a small percentage of that total and it's only an 8x6 shed which is just a...

    Engagement questions

    1 - He was watching sky sports, sat down with him and during the match we somehow came around to the important conversation. 2 - Oh... hmm It was about about 2k I think. Not a great percentage of my salary at the time but I figured it was a one off purchase. 3 - I proposed in a hotel in the...

    2020 World Snooker Championship *SPOILERS*

    Ronnie wasn't disrespectful. Entertaining and entitled to play the game how he feels. That's Ronnie all over and he sometimes mixes it up depending on his mood and Selby knows it. As mentioned above, Selby spent ages looking down the table before asking the white to be replaced with the...

    It's too hot :(

    Wow, I'm in South Cheshire also, and not seen a lightning storm like this in a long time. Constant lightning, rolling thunder and tipping it down. At least it should cool things down a bit!

    Massive blast in Beirut

    Looks like an equivalent 10kt explosion to me. The Achinsk munitions depot going up produced a similar effect. http://youtu.be/fS3OdeU1GVc Whatever happened it's horrific.

    Hearing loss and soundbar.

    OK thanks for the replies and especially @lucid with the suggestions. Cheers. I've gone for a soundbar connected with an optical cable and hopefully that will improve matters for now. The TV speakers aren't that great anyway so this might be clearer. One things for sure, he needs to...

    Hearing loss and soundbar.

    Very valid, He does but still has it on too loud. I'm not convinced they're working right though.☺️. I would imagine it does have a headphone socket or rca connectors. I don't live with them though and would have to check. Wouldn't that turn the sound off?

    Hearing loss and soundbar.

    Just come in and thanks for the replies from everyone. It is appreciated. In a nutshell. OK, the TV is a Samsung ue40d5520 TV. They don't have a soundbar yet so it's just the TV sound. He doesn't have any headphones yet but as I mentioned looking at a wireless option (if practical) so...

    Hearing loss and soundbar.

    Hi all, Not an av expert so looking for a steer with this. My dad suffers with hearing loss and has the TV way too loud, which as you can imagine annoys my mum. I'm wondering if there is a way of connecting wireless headphones to a soundbar, that he could wear headphones but also keep the...

    Ryzen 3400g base unit - spec and worth it?

    I'd not actually considered a 2400g. In fairness that might be the way forwards with that explanation. I'll have a think about going with it that way on a cheaper mobo.

    Ryzen 3400g base unit - spec and worth it?

    Hi all, Hoping you can help. I've been umming and arring around buying a used system but thought about building a base unit around the £300 mark (ish) utilising the Vega 11 graphics on the Ryzen. My lad is 12 and loves fortnight and from what I've seen this seems to be an OK chip to run it...
