You have taught him how to Lego incorrectly! He should be making up all kinds of fantastical imaginary shizz!

KEF X300A subwoofer output modification

Neighbours are blasting music. I'm doing this shit out of spite.

Finally got myself a Chromecast Audio. Replaced a Bluetooth reciever downstairs in the living room, and colour me impressed. Dead easy to set up, sound quality is in a different league to Bluetooth, and all the music apps we use (Sony Music player, Google Play, Spotify, Plex) work an absolute treat with it.

Now just need one for my office and one for the garden room!

New coffee machine to replace my old, completely knackered one. I was going to have it repaired, but the turnaround is three weeks and it was looking like costing around £200. It's only £100 more to get a brand new model (a newer version too), so there was no choice tbh. I gave the old one to the company I bought the new one from, they might as well recycle the bits from it rather than chuck it into the tip, which is what I would have done.





8.5 years service and probably several thousand cups of coffee isn't bad I reckon.

Sounds like a gay French lover. Did Francis squeeze your beans? DID HE?

Did he give you a creamy top?

[Moriath]

Francis branded you?
