I've got 2 drones, I DJI Phantom 4 and a Mini 2, the Phantom is brilliant, an all sing all dancing piece of kit but it's too big that's why I bought the Mini. The Mini is all manual where the Phantom can track objects follow a course circle something. If you have line of sight the Phantom is good for about 3 miles but the Mini is a lot less, about 1/2 a mile. I know it's illegal but I did it out of curiosity just to see how far it would go.

I was on the horizon of the second picture about 2 miles away

Elon who? I thought I'd blocked that cxxt 🤔

Just watched Sisu.

Think John Wick meets Tarantino! Definitely worth a 9/10

I watched this last week, probably the most violent film I've ever seen.

This is fucking hilarious, a bloke in a dress wins Miss Netherlands

 

Just when you think you've seen it all, seriously WTF?

We pay 5% Vat on all electric used in our homes here in the UK, including any used to charge EV’s at home.
With electricity costs having tripled over the last couple of years and due to rocket again twice this year.

Fuel prices are cheaper now then before the Ukraine conflict, the price cap is expected to drop in July to £2000

At Tesco in Phitsanulok. 

That's what happens when the water you wash them with is too hot.

It's likely that he has mental health issues, rather than just a psychotic episode induced by cannabis. 

I reckon he just had the munchies and as stoned as he was decided it was quicker to fill the fridge by taking it to the 7/11 with him 😳

I had a thought after writing the above that Brexit would have changed things slightly as compensation was previously claimed under EU Law.  The changes effectively duplicated the EU Law and now we claim under UK261 (formerly it was EU261) and the compensation amounts are in GBP instead of EUR.

The top amount is exactly £520 as given to bexwell by Qatar.

OK, I'll change the moral of the story from, it never hurts to ask, to "If you don't ask you don't get" 👍

I flew from with Qatar from LGW to Doha in January, with every intention of catching a connection 2 hours 20 minutes later to Bangkok. On landing I go to the board to see what gate I'm meant to be flying from, to my dismay it's delayed for 4 hours. I eventually flew 6hrs 20mins later. I wondered if I should be compensated for this delay but after Googling various sites I found out that I wasn't eligible.

My friend and his wife just returned from Thailand having flown with Emirates, they also had a problem which saw their flight having to turn round and return to Dubai when it was half way to the UK. On landing he and his wife were given 30,000 airmiles. I was a bit pissed off at this having not been offered anything so I wrote to Qatar telling them as a privilege club member I felt let down by them and how I'd flown exclusively with them for the last 9 years. In response they apologised profusely and offered me £520 compensation.

Result.

The moral of the story is, it never hurts to ask

Although I think this is the best drone video of all time, if you've not seen it it 100% genuine and filmed in one take.

The one bottle I can find it doesn't work on.

Everybody can Boo and Hiss all they like, but birds nest soup and shark fin soup are fucking delicious !!

I don't know about Shark fins but I can imagine that bird spit soup is bland to say the least 🙄

£2.25/£2.45 for an excellent pint of Carlsberg at either of my 2 locals in Mansfield.

Interesting, but price is a bit too rich for me to give it a try. Noticed the delivery date on their website uses a strange date format. Never seen anyone use MM/YYYY/DD before.

Also you can get them for 3,490B on Lazada (link). Oops, just noticed that's for the M2, the M3 is listed on Lazada for 7,444B (link).

In all fairness they are earpods as well so can be used for listening to music as well.

Watching Keis One on YouTube yesterday, he was testing a piece of kit he'd been sent , translating ear pods. He and his pink haired (stunning) friend tested them, each having one earpod and talking in their own language (English and Thai) with amazing results. Not particularly expensive either.

Watch for yourself

It's the next best thing.

I personally love Qatar, can't fault them and quite often they are the cheapest, at least in economy. 

Prey, the latest movie in the Predator franchise, I thought it was excellent, the lead in it, a native American called Amber Midthunder is stunning and I think she looks better in warpaint than Makeup

If you buy 750 kettles then your electricity will be free

My combined gas and electric bill  is £106, in July I looked at what it would cost to renew my deal with Scottish Power there and then, it would now be £310. I looked again in August a month later and it's now gone up to £466. It actually runs out January 1st, God knows how much it will be then.
