    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S20 Family Thread ****

    First full day of usage of the standard S20 and I am not impressed really. Currently at 48% battery life with a screen on time of 1 hour and 15 minutes, which is absolutely miles behind my old S10. In addition to that, my notifications are very sporadic, especially with Gmail where I often don't...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S20 Family Thread ****

    My S20 base model is coming today direct from Samsung via DPD - had nothing tracking wise until this morning

    Oak worktop finishing

    Wet sanding with the oil would work - the "slurry" will fill any imperfections as you go, giving an overall smoother finish. I'd probably wet sand with steel wool, or a slightly higher grit than 600.

    Obvious Things That You Have Just Realised.

    Not me, but when my old school friends and I met up in our local a few years ago (when we were around 30) we discovered that one guy thought a toilet seat was for women only and had been, his entire life, sitting on the ceramic when going for a number 2... Once we had finished laughing, we...

    OCUK founder Spie passes away

    Really sad to hear this news. I, like many others, have been around these forums for years and even though I don't post much, I visit and read daily. Spie not only built a highly successful business, he also helped to build one of the finest communities on the internet today. I send all my love...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus Thread ****

    I'm out today and according to DPD my only options are to have it delivered another day. Won't leave with a neighbour, the local shop or take it for collection at the depot.. I'm not in next week, so I guess it'll just be returned to Samsung then. Madness....

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus Thread ****

    Just got my tracking information through on email too - looking forward to it arriving! Edit: tracking on DPD says unable to find tracking info, so who knows lol.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus Thread ****

    Not had a dispatch email from Samsung direct yet, but a few guys on Reddit are saying they have had theirs, and another guy said he phoned Samsung earlier and was told all pre-orders were shipped out today and that dispatch emails would arrive this evening/eary hours tomorrow. Here's hoping!

    Retro console and games thread

    I have been changing my mind constantly, but I have decided to sell my Megadrive and SNES. Had them since I was a kid but I think they would be better off with someone who will use them. With the exception of Zelda for the SNES, I have the following (which I posted in this tread a couple of...

    Rights of an employee with disability

    Is it Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? (Sorry, your description just sparked my curiosity!).

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    Fantastic, thanks for this! I'm only 2 months into my contract on infinity 1 and phoned up earlier and got this exact deal - £1/month more than I'd be paying on infinity 1 with the price increase! Guy on phone said I won't see any increases in 18 months either - really pleased.

    *** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

    Apparently, if you farm the omnigul strike on the heroic playlist (same as when farming for the Grasp), she drops at least 2 blues and sometimes a purple and all blues are at the same or higher than current light level. Some guys on Reddit saying they have hit 360 light after an hour or so of...

    Is my daughter psychic?

    On a related theme, I had a discussion with my other half last night regarding Reiki. I explained to her that is the classic example of pseudoscience and that it's place in therapy for whatever reason should be used alongside, and not instead of, conventional treatments. She wasn't having any of...

    Road Cycling

    Just back from my first ride on my new Dolan l'Etape Carbon.... WOW. Compared to my old bike (Specialized Allez Sport) this thing flies. Got a few PRs on some sections I have ridden dozens of times. There was quite a head wind on the return which kept me back a bit but I am very very impressed...

    Road Cycling

    Thanks for the advice guys. Weather forecast looks good for tomorrow night so I will take it out on my favourite 25mile route and see how it feels. Good call on the torque spanner, been meaning to get one for the toolkit, so now is the perfect time!

    Road Cycling

    My new bike arrived last night. Only had a chance to set the saddle height and put the pedals on, and the weather is nasty here today so not had a chance to get out on it. Does the stem height seem too high? Most pictures of peoples bikes that I see, the seat is higher than the bars by more than...

    Road Cycling

    The whole excitement thing for waiting on my new bike has been a bit soured to be honest. My employer (NHS Trust) outsource their bike to work scheme working to a 3rd party who (in true capitalism form) charge a disproportionate "admin" fee for their service. As a result, they happily send my...
