Thanks guys for the advice & info, much appreciated. Have tried doing a retune/scan & nothing. If I take one outside it works fine. Spoke with my neighbour, who is upset about it. He has contacted the panel company, who basically don't want to know!

Thanks anyway guys.

Hope I'm in the right section for this! Now, I don't know if anyone else has come across this, I have 3 radios in my house, 1 in living room, kitchen & dining room. All in good order. My next door neighbour has had solar panels installed on his roof. Now, I cannot get a digital radio signal on any of my radios. Has anyone heard of this happening before? Any advice would be welcome. Many thanks.

I know it's early days & we've got to give it a chance, but it's just not working for me. It just doesn't feel like Doctor Who. Something is missing?

Is Akbars still open?

I go up & down Meadow Bank Rd to & from work and wonder if it's open because, to be honest it looks quite grotty & not well kept from the outside.

It's never ending! New Doctor Who tonight, season 9 of the Walking Dead starts on Monday & the 3rd season of the Man in the High Castle has started. When are we supposed to watch all this telly? There's the 3 already mentioned, then there's Emmerdale, we're working our way through Nashville & Deadwood. Plus Bake Off & The Apprentice. Oh, and we've got to go to work too!

Not sure if anyone else has recommended this, but Deadwood is amazing.

 

About ten years old, it's a series about cowboy-types living in a town that hasn't yet become a part of America. God digging, swearing, honour, politics, gun firing and the actor who played Lovejoy as a powerful, Machiavellian saloon owner called Al Swearengen. Pretty intelligently done with great storylines and memorable characters.

Yes, I've just started watching this, I quite like it. The OH & I have also started watching Nashville, which is quite good too ☺

Funny how The Animated Series hasn't had a mention ☺

For me, in order, it would be Original series, Voyager, Enterprise, DS9 & TNG. For me TNG just didn't do it for me.

I remember going to see this at the cinema with my folks. It was in the 70's, I would have been 8 or 9. It was at the ABC on Angel Street & the film was shown as part of a double feature with a cartoon. I remember it was the first film I'd seen with real people mixed with animation, thought the whole thing was brilliant! Going to be singing 'zipa dee doo dah' for the rest of the day now!!

Fast & Furious 8 - 4/10

Disappointing really. They just seem to get sillier and apparently there's another 2 in the works over the next couple of years.

Logan. I know it's a superhero film but it certainly had the feel of an old western to me - the aging gunslingers last stand, the added swearyness and ramped up violence took it away from being a kids film. I enjoyed it. 8/10

Totally agree with you Tinfoil, for me its the best 'Wolverine' film. In the end I did get a bit fed up with the X men films. I too would give it 8/10.

Hi, anyone playing Forza 7?

I realise its not new anymore, I'm still running around in Forza6, which I do think is quite good. Just wondering is it worth upgrading? I know its 4K and all that jazz, but I dont have 4K telly or Xbox X, just the S.

I do quite a bit of shopping on Amazon, I've noticed over the last couple of years that you do have to be careful. Try to stick with sellers that are fulfilled by Amazon. It's getting a bit like ebay!

Finding Dory - 5/10

I thought it was ok, just no where near as good as Nemo. Shame really.

Yes, definitely a case of buyer beware.

Can't believe what I've just read, that's horrible. Is there any cctv in that area, may be able to get the reg-plate?

Apparently the Sainsbury's CEO, in an unguarded moment between interviews was recorded singing "Were In The Money" to himself.

Yes,I saw that too. Now bear this in mind, when in six months time stores are closed, staff laid off & he gets a multi-million pound pension. Will his singing come back to haunt him?

Just finished season 8 of The Walking Dead. At the risk of being shouted at, I do think it's gone off the boil a bit. Still a good season, left it open for season 9.

Anker sound bars are pretty good in my experience.

and apparantly waterproof - could be useful in the kitchen

Thanks for that, good price too ☺

Slightly off topic, but any recommendations for a Bluetooth speaker? Just wanting one to link up with phone to use in kitchen. Thanks

Well my vote would be for Beres, can't go wrong there ☺

I recall all the food shops that were in Market Place as you walked up to Sainsburys Savacentre. The entrance to Savacentre is approx where Starbucks is now outside BHS.

 

There was a shop just selling eggs, one selling cheese and the butchers and coffee shop stayed longer than the rest. The nut hut was also along there before relocating to the corner.

 

Savacentre was brilliant and massive and had a Post Office for years. Being less than 1 mile from home it was my regular shop.

Yes I remember those good little shops, especially the cheese shop. Do you also remember The Bakewell Pudding Shop? ☺

I think its a great idea and given a chance there's no reason it shouldn't work. Isn't the planet worth a little effort from us all.

Young Owain did alright this morning, you could sense a nervousness in his delivery and the fact he was coming to terms with the local area. He was't bad at all. Nice to hear a different voice now and again.

Yes I agree, I've enjoyed his show the last two mornings. Get to listen to most of it before going to work.

The Greatest Showman. 7/10

Me & the OH went to see this yesterday, quite entertaining really, more singing than I expected. Worth a look.
