Good thinking. If we like the Vegas event that'll go on the to do list. We're definitely going to shoot guns somewhere in Vegas. It's our wedding anniversary (10 yrs married, 20 years together) and we go back to Vegas every 5 years or so. It might seem like an unusual way to celebrate our union...

"The Night of" is one of the best series I've watched for a while. I think somebody else mentioned "Spotless" which was surprisingly good when compared to the reviews (which I read after I'd watched it all)

Hi We're going to Las Vegas for 3 nights and then on to Hawaii (the Big Island) for 9 nights. We've been to Vegas a few times before and this time we want to try out a load of guns on one of the indoor firing ranges they have there. There are a number to choose from but we just wondered if any...

The most comfortable shoes/boots for me are Blundstones. They're getting harder to find over here so when I saw a pair on offer a few years ago I bought them and put them away. After 3 years I took them out of the box and started wearing them. I was in someones kitchen just generally pottering...

I've got an SP4 8gb, 256gb, i5, primarily for editing on the fly. I use Lightroom and PS Elements with multiple D800e and M43 RAW files and it's easily man enough for that. As long as you've got the SP4 keyboard (the mousepad is a lot better than the SP3 version), maybe a good bluetooth mouse...

We've used a Brita jug filter for years, the water is really hard around here. It's a very simple & effective product. Filters aren't cheap but the cheaper unbranded ones are fine plus quite often you'll find the original ones on special offer. A month or so ago the little timer on the top of...

Pretty comprehensive review from the guys at TCS View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o43OfZ5rIbI

Like most people on here I've had loads of bags over the years. Eventually settled on Billinghams, I have 5 in varying sizes and use a couple of the Hadley Pro's as normal bags. Although they are expensive the build quality is superb. If your gear outgrows your bag there's always a market for a...

I had one for years on a D7000. Brilliant landscape lens for the money although at the time there seemed to be some QC issues at Sigma so quality varied. Luckily mine was a goodun. Sold it to a chap on here when I got rid of my crop gear. Hopefully he's still very happy with it.

Me too. It's part of the reason why motorway driving should form a port of the test. At a guess I would say at least 50% of drivers don't know how to use a motorway properly. Even just approaching a motorway from a slip road - how many times have I seen people thinking that driving at 40mph onto...

All you have to do to pass the test is to meet a minimum standard. There is no way most young drivers are good drivers. Every new driver is taught just enough to pass the test which in my opinion isn't even half as rigorous as it should be. For a start they're not given any practical experience...

A Graef CM800 user here too along with a Technivorm Moccamaster KBGT741. Both very solidly built and purchased after a massive amount of research. We get a monthly delivery of beans from H.R Higgins. We've tried a good selection of the beans they offer but usually buy whatever they've got on...

We stayed in Keynsham at a place called the Manor Lodge B&B. It was okay but cheap and there's not much going on in Keynsham. However, the B&B was very close to the railway station and it's only 10 minutes to Bath. Bath station is right in the centre. I lived in Somerset until I left for uni and...

My wife used to have the Burgman 400 (before someone t-boned her on a mini roundabout). Brilliant tool, great 2 up and very comfortable. She added a Givi screen for extra wind protection. I've been toying with getting a scooter as an all weather hack to get into town etc. I hate cleaning my bike...

Ditto. They do a scheme for IAM members (which I am for car and bike). The way they operate is refreshing. They send me an email about a month before my policy is due for renewal. That gives me about a week to do some research on Confused.com at which point Adelaide call me, I give them the...
