  Everytime I’ve submitted a repair request for this they just offer a gift voucher instead.

  Suppose I could try splicing just one set of the speaker wires into the replacement one?

  Attached a pic of the original.

  I’m trying to swap the rear speaker in my car that is completely destroyed. I went to the scrapyard and got a random replacement. Now the old one has two connectors for the speaker while the new one only has one.

  Is there anyway I can make this work?

  Looking for reasonably priced white cycling socks. Found these Decathlon socks for £8.99. Anyone tried them or have other recommendations?

  I’ve just seen a video on social media of rioters setting fire to a hotel housing migrants in Tamworth. The police are present, in full riot gear, and do nothing at all. They are just standing there as it’s happening.

  Why are the police not breaking up these riots? It’s shocking compared to police response at the Sarah Everand vigil and with Just Stop Oil protests.

  (I’m currently working in the USA so trying to follow the news back home but not sure if I’m missing some parts as to what’s going on).

  Does a smart trainer also work as a power meter? Planning to use a power based training plan on my Garmin paired to a wahoo trainer and not sure if I also need a power meter crank/pedal for this to work?

  Thanks again for all the replies. Now for my next question…

  Is it a bad idea to go ride my bike in the sun with a tattoo that is a week old? It’s on my thigh and my bib shorts don’t fully cover it up.

  Thanks for the replies. Just bought some Palmers. Should I start using it straight away?
  The artists did give me aftercare advice, which I promptly forgot on the train home.

  I just got two tattoos today, it’s been over 10 years since my last one. Have complete forgotten how I use to heal my tattoos.

  What moisturiser/lotion are people using for healing?
