Yikes

I blew one of the drivers in my Bose QC25's - I don't know how as I only use them with a phone.
I sent them an email, not expecting anything as they are second hand and out of warranty, however they said they will replace them no questions.
Their products might not be great quality but their customer services is decent.

Repost but can't stop laughing

Is anyone hitting up the Cairngorms this weekend?

you don't need an instructor.

I disagree with this, lessons are incredibly cost effective when you're starting out in the first week or so.
I think everyone could benefit from a few hours with an instructor every so often.

A new record?
edit: I stand corrected @tara1988 has resurrected a 7 year old thread. FYI there is a PM function for a reason.

these look ok

I got an adaptor with my qc15's and 25's, I would imagine one would come with the 20's

I've had a pair of qc15's for years but I picked up some qc25's over summer. They're no different really, apart from you can listen to music when they're 'off' - but as @ExTra said it sounds rubbish.

I get what you mean about the funny sensation, when 'turning them on' it can feel a bit like pressure on your ears even though theres no sound. But it's not caused me any problems and I find them comfortable to wear all day - but try a pair out first. For long haul they're excellent, but I would consider a decent pair of in ears next time.

Amazon have got it at £18.99 as a lightning deal if anyone is interested linky

I got back from my trip on Friday. I agree with Colin, pack little. I had hand luggage only, clothes wise I took - 7 tshirts, 7 pairs underwear, 3 shorts, flip flops, espadrilles (never wore), 1 pair of trousers, 1 lightweight coat (never wore) and it was plenty (you pay about £2 for laundry). Other stuff I brought were headphones, chargers, guidebook (used my phone most of the time), toiletries.

My biggest recommendation is to buy a sim with internet access, it saved so much faffing between wifi spots.

I did the following:
3 nights Bangkok
2 nights Chiang Mai
6 nights Pai
3 night Chiang Mai
8 night Koh Tao
1 night Bangkok

I took a cooking class in Chiang Mai from tripadvisor - it was fun although I don't remember much. I had friends who went trekking and they said it was cracking, but it does kill quite a few of your days so consider if its worth it. I also went to an elephant sanctuary (nice but pricey) and also spent all my time in Koh Tao diving which I loved.

I'm not too sure about bike routes, but you can hire a bike anywhere and most decent hotels/hostels have them for free, although consider how hot it is. I was pooped after 30 minutes. I did hire a scooter in Pai as most attractions were some distance out - I wouldn't recommend it unless you can ride one.

rosebikes?

Had no problems with El Capitan apart from flux. Do it.

Vaccinations are a wise idea. Book in with your GP well in advance to avoid getting stung like I did. Hep A/b, typhoid, DPT plus usual boosters is a good start. Maybe rabies and malaria tablets

Time capsule is the obvious choice. Nice but pricey. I'm sure theres a better option out there though, maybe a WD? With any wireless external hard drive plug it in for the first backup.

Just wear the damn thing

I'm flying to Bangkok a week today for a 3 week trip. I've never been 'travelling' before and I'm going on my own. Trying to pack light but any recommendations of what to get/wear would be good also where to go. I've got a rough itinerary of Bangkok for a few days then Chiang Mai, fly down to the islands including Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

Thanks hugo and @VanUden, I'll keep my guard up, it looked like such a reliable set up site.

Switched out the bracelet for a zulu strap earlier this week

New music app has definitely taken a step back. Also now running El Capitan, no issues just yet but I don't like the font change.

Has anyone used chrono24? It looks like a well set up website, but I just want someone elses opinion

What forks are those?

Just watched the Tunisia video on liveleak, very harrowing, would not recommend.

I use the stock mail app with a cydia tweak so that emails can be fetched via push which is its only limitation

I'm moving to Aberdeen in September and I'm trying to find a flatshare. Anybody got any tips as its a 7 hour drive away for me?
