I have one done with proper racking though. Needs to be wider and only two shelves. I normally keep tool carts underneath but it's set for the height of a car bonnet if need be. Also put a beam at the rear lower down for support and one at the front above the lower shelf to act like a barrier to stop boxes falling off.

How are you going to do that ?Unless you’re storing gold bars. That’s a whole car ffs. But agree, stupid having the car under it, something will fall of and dent the bonnet.

I can’t help thinking that it could well be a better selection tool. Douglas Adams was right - those seeking election should automatically be disbarred.

The cards went up the loft in '01 along with some other miscellaneous shite, but nothing really automotive to share in this thread at least.

Est' surely that depends on which direction you approach the hill from? I had a mobile in 1990 on cellnet , it started with 0860 , I don't remember 04. I thought 1988-90 was the start of mobiles. I do remember the phone ringing in the services cafe once and everybody looking at me when I answered it . It was that embarrassing I can even remember where it was , Corley northbound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round our way it'd be roundabouts without potholes 2 years ago the resurfaced our street , I swear there was nothing wrong with it I asked the site manger why they were doing it His reply , somebody on the council probably lives down here. There a dip in the road , probably caused by mining subsidence from Parkside, after the resurfacing it's still there FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the office sucks as my programs open at their last size. So what was a small sensible window showing all of the content on my 4k screen suddenly spans across 2 1080 screens and vanishes into nowhere 😂 Then when I'm back at home everything's tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what was a small sensible window showing all of the content on my 4k screen suddenly spans across 2 1080 screens and vanishes into nowhere 😂 Then when I'm back at home everything's tiny I wish I'd done it ages ago! There's two of them so I could have 8 sensibly sized browser windows open at any one time. The only issue is if I maximise one them they're not hugely readable, entire paragraphs end up on one line! It's going to take a little bit of getting used to I think. The reason I did the upgrade now is I've got so used to having a 4K screen attached to my work laptop (I bought the screen myself) that the 1080p ones just weren't comfortable to use anymore. It's amazing how a resolution and screen size that felt impossibly roomy when I got it can feel so cramped now. 100% scaling is nice for fitting as much as possible on the screen, but it's maybe a bit small for extended use, I'll try 125% and see how I get on. I think we've reached the peak resolution of sensibly sized monitors now though, 8K might be a bit of an improvement, but I can't see anything past that actually being any more useable at sensible distances. Maybe one day once the prices come down a bit I'll get a couple of 40" 8K monitors! AnnoyingPentium and beko1987 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
