Out yesterday for some last minute shopping, Smyths toy shop selling 'exclusive' PS4 controller, nice shade of claret and blue for only £32.99.
Genuine PS controller, so decent prices regardless, but bonus with the colours. :crest:

:D that's very good!
Reminds me of a pub quiz I went to.
Name a meringue-based dessert named after a Russian ballerina?
Someone in my team said, Sara Lee..

Excellent idea. It's really boring having to drag myself to the front door numerous times a week ,just to receive yet another delivery of shoes for my daughter, replacing the mumbling Romanian bloke with Bertie Wooster will make a nice change.

Seeing an absolutely immaculate Rover 220 Turbo Coupe in Rochester High Street today. It was in deep metallic red, and looked absolutely gorgeous. Forgot just what a good looking car they were.

I'm no petrol head, but my late brother was. If that's what they called a Tomcat,he had one and it was nearly as swift off the mark as my Commando, i.e. Bloody fast.Nice motor.

[Any car freaks could have a nice long weekend in Spring/Summer round these parts: Shelsey, the Morgan factory, the Malverns,etc are all within 15-20 miles, and most weekends the club's from various marques come parading through town.....the guys with the 50s XK Jags my favourites.]

Drove back from Elgin to Skye last Friday and we noticed that the temperature was over 10 degrees still at 8 pm - I saw something about 16.8C but it certainly wasn't here on Skye , it rained all day I know that . :D

The walls of our house are 3ft thick , the heating is on even in the height of summer ! :D

How is this going to be possible?

Most drones seem to be able to fly for about 20 minutes before requiring a battery recharge which I'd imagine will be reduced further once it has my camera USB cable (which I seem to lose at least once a week) strapped underneath?

Also can they task the drones not to pretend to knock on the door, before just chucking it over the side gate much in the way their drivers do
