Hopefully it won't be too bad! 207's are still small cars & at least in estate form, the rear window is vertical with nothing sticking out any further than it so it should be easy telling where the end of the car is (ie no sloped back or saloon style boot sticking out to make things difficult). We'll see though!

Finally managed to buy a car!
The used car market is absolutely awful at the minute. Slightly niche requirements as it's my partners first car which she's using to practice in before her test but also needs to be our long journeys/holidays car (with me driving) so needed to be nice enough without being so nice it would be upsetting if it gets some L-plate battle scars!
So many high mileage dogs out there going for seriously strong money!

Ended up with this Pug 207 estate. So ugly it's almost gone full circle to good looking, in care home favorite metallic beige...

Oh I see. They're only unlimited spend once you unlock them using fingerprint/PIN, otherwise they're capped to the usual contactless amount (30>50>100 through the years).

Interestingly my new Pixel 6 pays from much further away than my old Samsung, which I'm not convinced is a good thing.

Doesn't happen with me using either my phone or my physical card.
With the phone I guess it knows it's me because I unlock it throughout the day in normal use, but the card I don't think I've put the PIN in in months! Maybe different banks have different rules?

It's just the same risk as contactless cards though isn't it. You lose your phone or wallet someone can go on a sub-£100 (assuming the shops have updated their machines) spending spree until you or the bank stop them.

Phone unlock to do transactions up to your normal account limit is then similar to putting your PIN in for card transactions.

John Lewis are going to be pleased by all the footfall in their electronics department!
I need to get down there too, I have quite a large head & my memory of friends Bose headphones is that they were always sized quite small, so need to make sure they fit before I open the packaging!

Interesting that the three big FPS releases this year have struggled on launch; Battlefield seems awful & Call of Packet-burst is fun to play but has some massive issues too!

The carving knife from that Opinel range looks nice for @superjoe

I'd be tempted to leave it as is. Looks decent & it's nice having a guitar that's been bashed about a bit, means you don't feel sad when you add another scrape!

Buy the dip?

Lol - done plenty of that this weekend, more fun and games to come tomorrow!

Thanks @cmburns - it's just a generic background so maybe I'll change it. Or try to dig into this material you thing!

How do I stop my clock from being brown? I just want it to be black/gray like the calendar & Google search. I quite like the rest of the theming but the clock looks shit!

I'm so behind the times, I still manually turn my phone WiFi off every time I leave the house!

Phew that's good, I hardly ever take my wallet out any more!

Ok PS5's are quite good!
Even playing Warzone (a PS4 game); image quality, smoothness, stuff actually rendering in before you pancake onto it - so good.

Just played a bit of Astros playground - the triggers are cool. I don't think they'll get a lot of action in competitive multiplayer games but they're fun for playing against the computer.

What's the issue with Gpay? I don't think I've ever opened it after adding my card - have they made it so you have to do something before paying now?

They'll make for one hell of an episode of Storage Hunters!

The external dimensions of the two aren't that different (you can see it in the rear view pics, it's the extra bit above the camera bar) - both are F'ing huge!

Yes I've got the reminder set thanks! Interesting to know how many people forget about the window - you've got to wait two weeks but then you've missed it a month later!

Good on them, does seem weird to me. Maybe if people buy new phones every year or two it's fine because they've got recent wall plugs, but for people upgrading from on old phone it means they can't do fast charging without spending more money. I've got a few other USB plugs around I can try to see if any of them are good enough, then I'll probably end up buying another one.

A successful 24 hours of deliveries for me!

I really resent having to buy a phone charger separately.

I've had it a day & haven't noticed that problem - the camera bar is curved on the edges which might help (no sharp corner to catch on the end of a pocket). I'm not wearing super skinny jeans though so it may depend on your style!

You're right, it can actually do it via wifi - when I was looking at the instructions it didn't give it as an option but you can when using the phone!

This Pixel is seriously chunky compared to the S8!

I suppose the give up & accept it option is probably going to win out in the end yes!

I think my pictures are all in Google Photos, which must be on the cloud somewhere, at least the ones I've taken. Maybe I'll just give it a go!
