  1. It's near the edge which is a blessing, does the flooring go under the skirting board, if so this makes it more tricky and can you remember where you bought it, if you could buy another identical pack which is half the battle?
  2. The restriction is up to 2.1 mtr and below 6mtr in length I think and if it has windows in it's the same rate as a car and has to be booked by phone
  3. its not a fix but spotify free is amazing
  4. That doesn't mean people won't park there though does it?
  5. Are you snorting or parking? lol
  6. it's expected that they will reduce the "old stock" as it wont be a secret that they want to sell it off.
  7. The sale means the number of Tesco stores in the island will be increased to 10, including its existing store in Douglas. Will this be good for residents? The stores in question will remain trading as Shoprite during a 'transition period' and will be rebranded to Tesco over the next nine months.
  8. Maybe phone the commissioners and ask that this be removed?
  9. I agree looking at the figures theirs a lot of difference on paper, the M2 will be mine in another decade when its £300
  10. It's only 90 Million, some would say we spend that or correcting the prom faults every year 🤣
  11. Geforce 950 GTX Gaming Graphics Card In fantastic condition, its had very little use as its been in a spare gaming machine. £50 Port Erin
  12. It is indeed an Ivybridge i7 but it's a quadcore not duelcore, I replaced a duelcore with the quadcore and the performance difference is amazing, I don't think you can compare it with a Ryzen as they are not supported on a Mac and it's about the overall feel, the build quality of an aluminium case with an amazing keyboard Vs a plastic laptop has no comparison. An old Mac is like comparing a 2012 VW Golf which is expensive to purchase originally to a Fiat Punto, how many 2012 Fiat Puntos do you see today?
  13. On having an old 2009 Macbook pro (MBP) duel core from new which was getting too slow to use with Apple software (OSX) I recently replaced it with a used 2018 MBP. This new machine was rapid but also horrible, having an awful keyboard and just one port which was USB C so no pen drive etc could be used without buying a converter I delved further into this and found out I couldn't upgrade the memory (RAM) or hard drive as these were soldered onto the motherboard and the further I researched this the more shocking it became. I found out that with the exception of a brand new M1 Silicon which cost in 2020 upon release over £1500 that computor chips (CPU) hadn't really gained that much more speed or power. The more I looked the more I realised that Apple had gone down a very dark path. It seemed that with a little "know how" you could get a better, cheaper older machine that's more than capable for less than a third of a new one. It seemed there was a choice for me to make between a 2015 MBP with a retina screen which is very beautiful but has a hard drive which is glued in and difficult to remove or going even older a 2012 MBP non retina so the screen isn't as crystal clear which has an upgradable hard drive and upgradable RAM, 2 USB A, ethernet, firewire, heaphone and SD card. I decided to sell the dreadful 2018 model and purchased a 2012 MBP I7 2.3 Ghz which I upgraded the hard drive to a solid state drive (SSD) which makes it so much faster and added 16GB RAM the battery is great but also upgradable, whilst the new silicon would be faster its 5 times what I pad including my upgrades and any broken parts moving forward I can still replace. There are thousands of newer machines not just macs that have failed SSD's that are being thrown away as the hard drive is onboard. In 2020 an order was passed in the EU forcing manufactures to supply a "Right to repair" this goes for laptops, mobile phones (also forcing them to use replaceable batteries) even down to your washing machine. I am very happy with my new-old macbook pro, its usable and not adding to landfill, it will take several years to implement the "Right to repair" but it's a step forward.
  14. and the bags are big enough to put used nappies and any other rubbish in too if they are too bone idle to take it home and use a bin.
  15. Partfinder has always been pretty good for me, not dirt cheap but still better than new
  16. I went down to shoprite and bought water and when I got home it was back on
  17. We have no water supply this evening near Port Erin, no notification and no bottled water, is there anywhere to check for information?
  18. If they can afford a boat ticket to get here, you have to consider that it's premeditated. With homeless comes crime and also drug use. It is very sad for the genuine ones that ended up homeless by no fault of their own but many are not genuine or are illegal immigrants. Asylum is sought in the very next safe country and not crossing many countries to reach the one where they believe the streets are paved with gold. Visit many places across and you will see it is pretty bad we really don't want our island saturated like say Blackpool do we?
  19. Tell you what, Lando Norris was on fire at Silverstone
  20. maybe they can dig it up and put it back down a few times first lol
