St Reatham Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I just got a Sonos Play 1 for my home office. Wish I had done it years ago as ditching my old Sony stereo that was on it's last legs has given me a lot more desk space to fill. Interested in one of these. What's the sound quality like?

Shadow Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have just been advised I don't need new tyres on my car All four are originals and it's done 33500 miles. I think that's quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Tim Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Interested in one of these. What's the sound quality like? To my untrained ear it is pretty good. We do have a few around the house and have been really impressed with them. We have a pair in the lounge that are paired to give stereo sounds and they sound really good even at a reasonably high volume. The app to control them is very user friendly. We use Spotify for streaming music. The Play 1 is currently on special offer at Amazon/John Lewis etc, £30 off the regular price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Do you only drive on the beach?It's an outlander hybridI suspect the automatic gearbox and electric motor mean the tyres don't get a massive amount of stress. By comparison my bike rear tyres last between 3000 & 5000 miles although I'm happy to trade longevity for grip in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar mileage and was checking the other day and thinking I may soon need a fourth set of tyres on the front wheels. Not sure if Continentals are rubbish for longevity or possibly my enthusiastic driving style may have something to do with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I may have an inkling as to the difference in tyre life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've put 33,500 miles on those tyres get touch with the manufacturers and see if they'll exchange them for a new set they just might want to see them for research. Having said that I'd swap them out whatever. Tyres wear in more ways than tread depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a bit rubbish when it comes to mpg, but 33,500 in 6 years hasn't seen me splashing out excessively on fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Tim Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Blimey My 33500 is in 18 months Since switching from driving to work everyday to working from home full time my annual mileage has plummeted. My car now spends most of the time sat in my garage and maybe comes out 3 times a week. Most of my work travel is internationally and I get a taxi to the airport. My monthly trip to the petrol station is something of a novelty, sometimes I can go 6 weeks between visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Adama Barrow, the new president of Gambia, used to work as a security guard at the Argos on Holloway Road in London. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff9of13 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Would someone please take that Orla Guerin off the telly out for a night? Del Boy style with a steak meal if needed. Christ, she spends all her life in warzones looking bloody miserable. Someone dead sophisticated like Bob8 maybe. Failing that, Gurner. Not just me then? I find her voice grating.
