Geoff is killing me! I have to put a cable down around the garden so he doesn’t run off and cut the neighbors garden/swimming pool. Due to the complexity of my garden it has taken hours and my back is killing me.
If the goal was to do less gardening I have gone from doing nothing to doing a ton and paying a load of money for the tools to automate.

Geoff needs his own thread. I've seen SpaceX launch rockets with less planning and effort If the goal was to do less gardening I have gone from doing nothing to doing a ton and paying a load of money for the tools to automate.

I was so close to ordering some of those a few months ago. Instead I keep nicking the yellow foam ones from work.https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protecti...
I bought a box of these years ago and am still working through them, seemed frivolous at the time buying that many. https://www.safetecdirect.co.uk/products/3m1100/3m...
In quickly googling for that link I found someone on Amazon selling them for £4.50 for 5 pairs...factor in a bit for postage that's £180 profit for a £18 investment. Why didn't I think of this?

i can already hear the groans....... but i just got another set of headphones.
phoned o2 to sign up to a new/ better sim only deal (100gb data unlimited texts/ calls- £20 for 18 months! no need for that amount of data, but was cheaper than my current 25gb for £22) and at the end of the call the guy goes- would you be interested in some apple airpods, i can do a good discount on them.
yeah yeah, i’m sure you’re gonna knock £10 off them. nope- half price. apple airpods for £80, tried to see if they would discount the airpod pros, but no.
do i need another pair of headphones, nope. when will i use these over my B&W PX, or my sennheiser cx300, or my RHA maXXX or my cheap wireless gym headphones?!? who knows, but they were half price!!

Loop ear plugs - going to one gig this year. Probably won’t go to another.
Why spend £1 on some foam earplugs when you can spend £30 on some foam earplugs with plastic stuck to them.
Can you do a review after you’ve used them. I blew £30 on these and they are sWhy spend £1 on some foam earplugs when you can spend £30 on some foam earplugs with plastic stuck to them.
