I’ve the mother-in-law visiting. She’s known as the Exorcist, when she visits a house, all the spirits disappear…

Great thread folks in the time honoured TZUK tradition. I work hybrid for a large Life Science company and my role encompasses EHS with areas such as display screen and home workstation setup for...

I’d watched the race that eats its young documentary, and my wife spotted her trending on X yesterday. We then had a rewatch so my wife could get up to speed and were both frantically following her...

Delighted to be back out running after a near 8 week enforced break owing to COVID and a viral cough my SO passed on. Building up the pace slowly, and finally getting to enjoy the new Hokas I got...

Anatomy of a Fall. Wow, just wow. Cannes Palm D’Or and 5 Oscar nominations, for once well deserved. Sandra Huller gives probably the best female lead performance I’ve seen in years.

I currently run a T6 V90 Cross Country, and have ran a 530e as a company car. The Volvo outstrips the BMW in acceleration, the cabin environment is way nicer, and being based in Scotland, the lack...

I’m from Scotland and have always celebrated New Year here, even when we lived in SE England, always travelled back. Did big Edinburgh street parties and massive house parties when I was younger,...

Right, that’s Where Eagles Dare and Die Hard done, today is the 1999 Sir Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol, my personal favourite, link to decent quality copy below:

I upgraded from a 12 to a 14 Pro last year, main benefit for me was the camera capability plus overall speed bump. I’d timed it just before we went on a family break and photo quality was...

I’ve had the Free P4 which is pretty close, the big glaring miss for me was the bit driver, which the Arc has. The one handed magnetic opening and the easy outside accessibility of all the tools...

Play bass and guitar, but started on bass and it’s my first love. Bought my first bass (a cheap Japanese Westone) in Sound Control in Glasgow in 1985 with my first student grant cheque. While I...

Mine loved this:

YMMV if your other half isn’t a mad, active feminist engaged in the gender wars on Twitter…

Both, with regulations like REACH for example, it makes use of synthetic derivatives like Ambroxide (versus actual Ambergris extracts) compulsory in certain international locations, this will impact...

Just been down the sampling route with both, and Portofino is a nice complement for e.g. lighter occasions where Aventus may be a bit complex and heavy. Reminded me a lot of Eternity (one of my old...

For anyone in Southside of Glasgow, can highly recommend the Turban Tandoori at Giffnock station:

And if anyone wants to try any sort of...

I’ve used a McMurdo for watching Scottish football in winter for past 3 years, also as emergency winter coat in car. It’s brilliant, you only need a polo or t shirt underneath, and its pockets are...

Rega Planar 3 has done me (and my son) sterling service for over 20 years. We live literally 2 miles from the Linn factory in Waterfoot ;) and I’ve worked there for a couple of days, met the people...

Just seen on IMAX. and loved it. It’s dialogue heavy (particularly on the trials part as other poster has said) very similar to JFK but with spectacular set pieces like the Trinity test. I didn’t...

New Mission Impossible is excellent, set pieces, particularly the finale, are incredible on the big screen. Hayley Attwell is also a great addition

The 12th Man, currently on Prime. Excellent WWII Norwegian true story drama, kinda like Dunkirk meets the Revenant with the search scene from Inglorious Basterds thrown in.

So with much regret, had to let the old V60 D5 go as my rapidly growing teenagers couldn’t fit in the back much longer. Went for a V90 Cross Country with T6 :

New Indiana Jones is surprisingly decent, pays homage to the original exceptionally well after the Crystal Skull lost the sagas way a tad.

I get pestered by dogs occasionally when running, I carry a Camelbak cycling bidon strapped to my hand, and find a wee squirt of water puts them off (along with a blunt Glaswegian indication to their...

Had a decent experience with www.platesforcars.co.uk couple of years back for new personalised plates for my V60 as I didn’t want dealer branding on there,
