Be Excellent To Each Other

He hasn't yet said it's his house. It could be a photoshoot.

At this point I feel like Kris is Mr Made.com or Dexter. WHICH IS IT?

That page break is doing no one any favours, especially 2am Findus.

Of course, don't you?!

Just ordered a PS5 through EE. I am a tad excited..

A Garmin 45 watch. I much prefer the 235 it has replaced.

Disc, or digital?

Disc, they only had two options. Disc with addition controller, or Disk, with controller and camera. Not really fussed about the camera.

Ah man, actually jealous.

Did you have to do that "register your interest" thing and wait or did you just get lucky with stock levels?

Yes, I registered my interested and got a text yesterday.

I just checked there are some still available..

Why did you replace it then? (Genuinely confused)

My 235 went through the washing machine. I have been using MrsA's but she needed it on Sunday.

Oh poo

Can you not contact Garmin, and say it stopped working?

Or buy a 235?

They were £60 more than the 45.

I binned it ages back

Yes. Lego advent calendar.

Now, as I understand it, these Lego Advent Calendars replace the chocolate, with plastic, yes?

They had them in Tesco at the weekend.

Yes instead of a disappointing chocolate you get a disappointing scrap of lego.

Mini fig and mini models.

Oh bugger... That would have meant leaving the house..

A piece of sports history, and a frame. The table that it is on I got for free.

I like that...

It's bothering me that you're not centred in the frame.

PlayStation 5

I have a new phone... a Pixel 6 pro and it's nice, albeit with exactly the same software as my old phone.

At least the charging port will work properly on this one though.

Can you report back on how the screen is outside in sunlight? I believe they're meant to be fairly bright. For flying my little drone I find my Pixel 4a to be a bit too dim to see well enough at times even with the little shade I made.

Well, funny story... The DJI app doesn't work with it.

It connects as it should but it just displays a blank screen rather than the camera view.

So that's that then!

Ah, hopefully it'll get fixed at some point. DJI seem to struggle with their Android apps.

My previous phone was a Pixel 3a and that worked fine with the app so yeah, hopefully it'll be fixed pretty soon. There's quite a few people with the same issue on their forums so it seems they should be aware of it.

Apart from that, the screen is plenty big enough for a drone and it does seem brighter. Not sure what it's like in direct sunlight but I shall let you know.

Big Fur fuzz pedal. £25 delivered. Love it.

Nice!

I bought myself a new standing lamp and two smart bulbs for pimp lighting.

I'd love a lamp like that, but in a house with 5 cats (and now a big dog) it seems like a terrible idea.

He's big compared to the cats. He is not big compared to your horse.

For reference, my lamp is about 12.7 hands.

Has anyone seen the recent Taskmaster where they talk about the Bully Kutta dog? Yikes. I Googled them.

Willow is *big* but didn’t scare me to my very soul.

It does look stylish and I'd like some style too but kids trash everything and Lady T has already cluttered our house up with stuff so I'm not keen to add more. Maybe for my office at work...

Me and NervousPete saw a band in August. They were great. I just got a pin badge and some stickers from them what I bought.

Do all men get to middle age and start watching ridiculously named bands? I remember Myp and Russell going to watch someone called ‘Arse Full Of Chips’.

Here they are.

Ordered an Xbox Series X. Not in stock till December, but I'm in no rush.

New set of H7 headlights for the campervan because driving down the lanes at night the other day was actually terrifying. I had heard that the standard H4 ones were shockingly bad but fucking hell, like two lit cigarettes in there.

New Shower. As I am having a new consumer unit tomorrow, it made sense to get rid of the electric shower.

Now have a lovely shower. Yes the bathroom is still pink.

Hm. With our "new" boiler and the price of electricity it might be worth us switching the upstairs shower, now you mention it. We still miss the rainfall shower we got in the old house, though our water pressure/flow here just isn't up to it.

I love it.

New consumer unit. I now need a plasterer.

I also have sockets outside.

Now I've learnt about mains water pumps!

The mains shower is great. I can see my electric bills going down and my gas going up
