What kind do you have? 

Not sure what the make is without digging it out but just thought it might be another way of looking at the problem ...   i also recall looking at a watch (think it was Breitling) and it had one built in ...   fantastic bit of kit ....    probably a bit pricey but would last a lifetime and it looked superb (too pricey for me!) ...   there may be cheaper alternatives ..

What I really want to know (and the internet is surprisingly lacking in information) is whether it is allowed to carry them on commercial aircraft. I have the option of hiring one in Oz but it’s half the price of buying one outright and I’ll get multiple use out of owning one, but only if I can carry it on a flight.

Why don’t all churches take the lead off their roofs and replace with an alternate that looks similar but isn’t worth much (put tin on for example and paint grey) ...   that way they get the money for themselves and manage the replacement so no damage is done.   

 

A church in Furneux was stripped over the weekend ...   the value of the lead was over £225,000 ....

Thanks, CF, that would be great.

 

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

 

It's certified non-hazmat, even though it has lithium batteries, and there would be no issue with it being switched on as it's only on when activated in an emergency.

We're putting our old non smart TV in my son's room for the first time. Is there any easy way to get Skygo on it so he can watch TV? 

We have a PS4 downstairs which has it but don't want to move that.  Is there any other way? Looks like Amazon Firesticks don't have an app for it and don't want to upgrade to multi-room.

Flyboy no show as playing 5 aside !! ...   but he is still VERY confident it would be ok if turned off and in hold luggage ...    I’ll see him at some point and double check or get a number for you to ring.

Thanks, mate, but I've had an answer from the Civil Aviation Authority and the manufacturer, and it's legal to take it as carry on luggage (with a certificate from the manufacturer stating it conforms to hazmat regulations, which can be printed off from their website) but not in the hold.

Squared or tapered?

 

Ive been asked this question hundreds of times over the years at the barbers and I still don’t know the right answer.

I always tell the barber to decide for me.

 

I really should research the difference at some stage

Ah I see. They all look shit so hopefully the barber made the right choice today. I think he chose tapered for me

Tapered looks the best on that. Squared looks shit. I mean its clearly photoshopped, but it's still look shit.
