barrett Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I really liked that parquet floor, top job. Anyway, I like the idea of a wider-than-normal garage. I'm just about to try and put a car in my shitty little breeze block/asbestos job for the first time ever and I reckon it's gonna be a really tight squeeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen01 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Would like to see the parquet flooring, I'll be tackling my kitchen in the new year, just shy of 20sqm and I've never done it before. Brodders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise2cv Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Mr B, got any Spanish radio station recommendations please? One of my classmates is asking, but it crossed my mind too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yeah check out Cadena SER, its mainly talk stuff, a bit like a cross between radio 4 and 5, its a national station but based in Madrid so not too many regional accents. My favourite programme is 'SER Historia', its some late-night thing where the presenter talks about interesting historical people or events. Theres never more than 2 people on it at once (so no arguing or talking over each other!!) and its kind of tranquil and easy to listen to (in relative terms). Theres a big archive of episodes on line. EDIT***** Also check out 'Spanish Obsessed', its a website of downloadable Spanish-language podcasts made by this young english/columbian couple, all different levels, theyre really good and 100% free, and the pair of them sound like really nice people!!! I am a big fan of those. Dick Longbridge, Louise2cv and alcyonecorporation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatsharris Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 For Bluetooth Speaker, I'd recommend the Anker Soundcore. Cost about £25 from Amazon, really impressive sound and the battery lasts forever - I charge the one in our office about once a fortnight and that's usually on for about 8 hours a day minimum and it's been here for a couple of years now. I've heard the customer service is excellent too if there's any troubles. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-SoundCore-Dual-Driver-Distortion-Microphone/dp/B016MO90GW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510651428&sr=8-3&keywords=Anker+Soundcore - Here's a link, but don't buy it yet - there's usually some offer on that knocks the price down to about £22.

beko1987 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 An old 5.1 surround sound then a cheap Bluetooth to aux dongle would do it and sound wicked bruv Or a cheap Bluetooth car headunit, many speakers and a 12v supply/old battery on charge?

tapir Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 great work mr b looking good. on the sounds side, i've got a chromecast audio hooked up to a little cheap t-amp and old 90's mission speakers. As long as you can get good wi-fi signal from your house it's a winner - download the app and cast away, better sound and it won't kill your phone battery as it fetches the stream all by itself, I've got a few Liggle and stephen01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 What is all this Bluetooth bollocks being spoken of?

nacho man Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have an old jvc system I got off gumtree for a £5 for playing cd's but our lass bought me a sony bluetooth speaker that fills the garage with sound ace. Like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-SRS-XB20-Portable-Wireless-Lighting/dp/B01MYFDMCN/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511353163&sr=8-2&keywords=sony+bluetooth+speakers I was meant to be building a wooden step last night but ended up just sitting in the garage listening to the 'reservoir tapes' a podcast on radio 4 that I right got into.
