General Discussion Area / Re: PIR faulty

« on: 26 December 2019, 13:27:17 »

My 50W 400x300mm LED slab of a floodlight with PIR from China has been working fine for over 12 months now & does make the front garden look like it's in sunlight. The 30W LED non-PIR from China where I bought 5 cheaply off Ebay for around the side & the back of the house are also giving me great service along with their waterproof IP44 junction boxes but they are under the house eves & don't get wet but are in an outside environment.

According to CREE what will kill these multi-LED arrays is overheating so make sure they have a decent painted cast aluminium heatsink forming the back of the light to get rid of the heat.

Talking of delivery issues, Amazon Prime disgraced themselves again yesterday. So need to chase that up with them when I get home, unless they deliver today

Amazon Market place have let me down again. On my successessful low carb diet 10kg (22lb) so far & two notches on my belt, I've been eating alot of low carb low sugar blueberries, 250gm at £2.29 a pack. 5 of those a week is expensive, so I've bought 4 blueberry plants, large planters & trays for my large patio. Each pot requires ~30L of high acid peat, I ordered 2x 60L bags. Only one was delivered & have contacted them for the outstanding item and awaiting delivery. The delivery will involve Yodel so I won't be holding my breath.

I have lots more hassle off Amazon Marketplace compared to Eboy ebay, especially for non-existent 2nd hand books, which have just been misterely return to them, after I've checked that my local PO depot that have received nothing!

I did things the other way round NickW I gave up on the presents first-it's a lot cheaper that way It hurts a bit that I'm going to have to buy more cards for next year after spending £1 on a pack of 30 last year

Get Eboy to order you a cheap pack off Ebay, although it is already touch & go on delivery, via Eboy, before xmas 2020.

Do you only have two plates/bowls/cups etc

Ours is every other day unless some proper cooking is going on... 

Its a 12, possibly 14, place dishwasher. No idea why we create so much.  But then she's used 3 saucepans tonight, so that will half fill the bottom of it if I was able to use it

Thats an awful lots of tins of beans, just as well you're a growing lad, just not upwards anymore.

Just buy a Chinese knock-off element of Eboy.com for a few £££s, delivered by Friday, fitted at the weekend, job, jobed ready for xmas & while you are waiting for delivery you can put up the xmas smilies.

Corbyn by saying they need a period of reflection before he goes is just showing his Marxist ideology at work. When you gain a position of power never, ever, ever volunteer to relinquish it. IMV he is hanging on to the job, until the election failure passes & will then try to hang on for good.

And the voters just keep on giving where the anti-democrat Dominic Grieve has lost his seat.

Where I only get on here sporadically where I'm working too many hours at the moment, I did wonder a couple of days a go that I hadn't seen Big Ron & your common sense wisdom for some time.

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues, but it is great to hear you are on the mend & onwards & upwards as it heals.

I've a simple question, if you don't mind me asking, where you are Big Ron is that from height or weight or both?

.... had a very good 300g fillet steak  .....

What's that in English? 

10.75oz which is a proper sized steak, especially for fillet where it is a fat free very dense meat. Biggest steak I've ever had is a 40oz T-Bone in Las Vegas, delivered on a large plate & about 1" thich, which was inevitably delivered with a bucket of fries and a large platter of sides. I just concentrated on the steak, which I finished, with 80% of the rest left. That was before I hit over 40 where appetite shrank, but waist gradually expanded & weight went over my ideal 20-40yo 22.5 BMI!

Fresh peeled main crop potatoes & then at least double fried in a vegetable oil deep fat fryer with the half cooked potatoes rested for 10 minutes, crisper & better flavoured. Triple cooking them makes them even crisper which is what several top steak restaurants like Gauchos do.

Talking of which, I went to Quaglino's jazz restaurant last Friday & had a very good 300g fillet steak & great evening, which was unfortunately cut short by the South Western Train's strike as the last train home was the 10:42pm from Waterloo. Fortunately, I got on the train just after it pulled into the station as when it left all 12 carriages were packed full, including all standing areas.

Well you read it here first.. someone has advised Swinson to wear low cut tops for more votes could have been one of us lot maybe 

Well, any women who thinks it ok to wear a green dress with pink shoes must do something drastic to attract!

Dressed like that she will be putty is Sir Tig's hands when he turns up in his mighty Morris Marina.

The election now comes down to Tory popularity v Liebour voting fraud. Don't forget if you are a Liebour supporter to vote early & very often & I hope you have remembered to fill in the postal ballots for your 87 wives & 342 cousins in Kashmir who are all 'entitled' to vote to move to the UK under Liebours open borders immigration policy. Corbyn has several convicted vote rigging fraudsters as senior members of his election team for a good reason where he knows he can't win the election by 'conventional' means.

If Corbyn wins he will establish a one party dictatorship where part of Marxist ideology is that if you win a democratic election by fair means or foul, where the end justifies the means, that is drilled into you as a one chance vital necessity. You have been warned. Stupid bint Margaret Beckett now says she regrets putting Corbyn forward as Liebour leader, you couldn't make this crap up.
