I'd keep that and wear it as is, if it still functioned, as a proper response to all the safe dwelling investment ones. In fact that's one of the first Rolexes I've really liked. Only works as a wearer if it was me that had smashed it up though. I wouldn't be buying one if Rolex did a 'Heritage Accident Series'.

Thanks for the advice, i jumped into the you-tube hole and made a usb back up, reset the bios settings so it should have read it and though I could get bios options (F2) and run a diagnostics test on all the hardwear (F8 and F12) I still couldn't get it to show the usb as an option. I read that as it only has USB C it can sometimes be an issue. My mate gave me the number of some guy / place in croydon so I've dropped him a mail. Might try the guy in Detford as well as I can cycle down there easy enough. At the edges of my computer skills now though. Thanks again for the advice folks.

Actually, can't even get it to boot into bios or anything else so don't think I'll be able to boot from a drive.

Might give the dell help line a try, 48 quid but no fee if they can't resolve it. Remote support though... Would still rather take it somewhere if there was a reliable option?

Sorry, left this tab open on the 'work' computer so just checked back in. The ring just spins until the screen goes blank. It then reappears, starts spinning and does the same cycle. I left it on last night soi it cycles through about every 30 seconds.

I'll have a google about creating the repair usb and see if I can give it a go.

thanks for the advice.

should say, I'm in S london.

Hi Collective Brain.

I have a fairly decent Dell laptop that I got a couple of years ago when I was working not-from-home for a while. I hadn't even fired it up for probably 9 months but when I tried last week it ain't having it.

Runs hardware scan on start up, says it's fine, goes to dell icon with spinning dots then does nothing. Then goes back to hardware scan...

It was running fine and it's just been sat on a shelf so I'm hoping it's not that serious but I'd like to sort it out. Random googling of a repair shop seems like a terrible idea so does anyone have a recommendation? I'd rather just drop it off somewhere but could post if I need to. Or I could send it back to dell, but again, I'm not sure that's a great idea.

Many thanks,

B.

Some new murdered Max Bills for the goth-chitects out there.

That is much cheapness. Thanks for the heads up, that'll do nicely.

Hi all,
looking for a cheap black square taper crankset to replace a broken one on one of my bikes so I can hopefully sell it and free up some space. Ideally 104 BCD as that's the ring i have from the one I had to cut off. It's an MTB so ideally some kind of similar crank. It just runs as an SS and I have a ring (if it's the same BCD) so just L and R cranks ideally.

Let me know if you have anything, I'm south, close to herne hill but can come collect if it's not too far or central.

Or is it RS x SR? I don't do shirts but always think I should have got one of those.

Funny, I've alway thought this G I got was a bit Oak-y but it wasn't quite flat enough. Those new ones look a lot flatter. I like em. They're a bit more refined - but I'm not sure refined is part of the G-shock DNA.

Keepin it G.

Christopher Ward sound like a bed shop. And for that reason; I'm out.

Anyone fancy Boris (not that one) 's IWC?

Or a set of 2nd hand bose QCs off ebay for a bit over 100 quid? My main issue with the bose is that they look so bad - I know that doesn't effect NC performance.

Worn pretty much daily for about 5 years. Not much of a collector, more of a user - if you will. Still to find something I like more. Will probably take a PVD Aquatimer to make me change it, so possibly never. I do have a G-shock with a sapphire face and carbon that's solar and sets itself, it's objectively better in every way except looks - but I hardly wear it. Maybe now I've popped my friday cherry I'll post that one next week.

Anyone got or tried the AKG N60 NC. They look perfect for what I need them for - smaller, more portable and cheaper than sony / bose. Reviews are good but they seem a bit difficult to get a hold of. There's quite a few going cheap on e-bay so either TK Maxx got a drop, they're fakes (is that likely, they seem a bit niche) or someone just went bust.

Wondering whether to take a punt on them as I have a longish flight coming up soon.

Its an omega x mezcal colab. Should be terrible; but it's not and I want one.

^ ugly?

Think I might have finally found another watch I like. It's got a bit of the Aquatimer about it. I already have a Sinn; not sure what it is about German watches? Probably the lack of polish and marketing.

^^ Interesting.

Part of the issue is that there's currently an unprecedented (as far as the current population are concerned) level of uncertainty - which that article shows.

Interesting, if you've not already read it, as it's a more outsider perspective. Same conclusion, mind...

I've read a bit about JP previously but just fell in this internet hole:

It's genuinely interesting but i'd advise not clicking on it if you have anything to do in the near future.

When this popped up in my browser I thought you lot would be really into it...

those look pretty decent, ta.
