hitmanNo2 Report post Posted December 5, 2017 Just something to try. Are you powering it with the mains cable or USB on the TV? I'm guessing mains as non smart TV so probably won't have a USB input. I gather they don't like being powered by TV's USB sometimes. I take it it happens when you want to cast to it and not randomly. So no casting pron to your TV when your Mrs is trying to watch 'I'm an X celebrity strictly dancing on ice kill me now'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Report post Posted December 5, 2017 Haha! It's mains powered, and happens randomly. Sometimes it casts no problem, other times it still casts, but you get a burst of snow/static every couple of seconds. It's odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Report post Posted December 5, 2017 It's very close to death by hammer. Can anyone help please? Do you need to borrow a hammer? I've got a hammer... Never mind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Report post Posted December 5, 2017 I have many, many hammers. Cheers for the concern though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spudgun Report post Posted December 9, 2017 I've not been to a works Xmas party for over 20 years. I don't mind being paid to interact with idiots, but why should I do it in my own time? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Free beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Nope. Not an open bar. Also driving home. Also insane prices. Colleague went for a glass of red wine and a carlsberg. £12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Free food at least? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Report post Posted December 10, 2017 Free food but if I'd have paid I'd have wanted a refund. Oh well. Done now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Report post Posted December 10, 2017 Don't mind a Christmas work party, as people always drift off into groups of people they get on with. Always had a laugh to be honest. Rare to have an open bar though and always left around 11 if it wasn't at a hotel in the middle of nowhere (or miles and miles from home). But, and it's a big but mind, people who I didn't get along with in work I always avoided when at the Christmas party. I can be quite good at disappearing if the need arrives. Gripe of the day: thinking you've got enough of 'x' material, then you start to build and find you don't. Doh. Also, people who force thier views on others. Let it go. If the other person doesn't like something you do, so what. Move on. You're coming across as a colossal *beep* and ruining the ale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Report post Posted December 15, 2017 So my car got broken into with no damage to be seen. Weird. Did I leave it open? I dunno. Weirdness overload though: They didn't take a vortex sparc, my Arc'teryx thermals nor my car stereo. They took a no brand shortdot scope, rewirering and soldering materials, my 2 headlamps and a whole bunch of AA and tripe A batteries. My Rayban su glasses are gone as well and they ripped the hands free microphone out Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Report post Posted December 15, 2017 It's not actually, there has been a few robberies were they only take valuables out of cars. Happened to my wife's car a few months ago (they stole her laptop and a charger). They are able to open the car up, rob what they can and then leave. All types of car makes (old and new). They thieves have a 'device' that ends out multiple signals to try and unlock a car. They just wait for lights to flash and that's thier que. Less hassle, maximum scumness.

Hedganian Report post Posted December 15, 2017 So much for security... Guess you just have to make sure you don't leave *anything* in your car. Annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Report post Posted December 15, 2017 Yep, nothing on show, and as said, ideally nothing in at all even if hidden. People are twats and go for soft targets. I learned the hard way a couple of years ago... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Report post Posted December 15, 2017 Still, the risk of taking stuff at calue of 100 euro's max while being on camera is still odd and stupid. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Report post Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Who ever said most thieves were intelligent? Now, the thieves who plan and wait, thier the *fruitcage*ers that are scary. Scum don't care, they do what ever they want. That's why when a few get caught red handed and get the van treatment, no-one sheds a tear. Always wirery little *fruitcage*ers too.

amateurstuntman Report post Posted December 17, 2017 I have pneumonia and tonsillitis caused by a chest infection. I worked all week out in the cold trying to tough it out, turns out I should heve gone to hospital on Wednesday. As I told the doctor of my symptoms, she just looked more and more dumbfounded that I hadn't done anything about it. I feel terrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Report post Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Sucks. Hope you get out before Xmas. Sadly, I'm thinking Wifey won't. She's been in over a month now, no end in sight... Edited December 17, 2017 by Hedganian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
