I'd been considering getting a small android phone as a spare and something to tinker with for work and decided to get the Cubot KingKong Mini, one of those 'rugged' type of phones, but with a 4" screen. Here it is next to my main phone:

They were about £100 on Amazon, but this one was from eBay at £76, new, but just with an open box. Seems a decent little phone so far.

Post subject:  Re: What have you bought?
I bought a second hand surround sound system (a low-ish range Yamaha amp and 5.1 speakers for cheapsies). Trying to get ARC to work was such a faff that I gave up on it and just used optical out from the telly, and it turns out a few of the amps inputs appear non-functional, but that's OK as it still does what I wanted it to do and quite well enough. It was cheap but decent enough AND could be sneakily upgraded bit-by-bit in the future.

This is the first time we've had a surround sound set up since 2013, and it's made the PS4 games experience quite a bit better.

What Yamaha Receiver is it? My RX-V477 works well with our Panasonic smart TV, only have one small hoop to jump when watching stuff from USB stick where I have to go to Apps > Viera Link > Speaker Selection > Home Cinema. Hope that might be of some help.

It's an RX-473 and the telly is a Samsung Q70T. A little bit of internetting seems to suggest it might be the TV that's not playing particularly nicely.

Thanks mate but given I wasted a few hours dicking with it already and the optical is working OK, I'm gonna leave it for a bit. Once we get better home internets (there's a fibre optic cable now run to the house... but it's not terminated properly with a usable connection yet) I'll check for firmware updates and stuff too.

You can (should... must!) post the picture instead of the link, but anyway if it’s a nice bike and if it makes you happy and you can afford it why would anybody roll their eyes?

Enjoy it! How long do you have to wait for delivery?

I like the sauté pan because of the depth. I can make things like pasta dishes and put all of the vegetables in to cook down in the sauce without troubling a saucepan, and pop the lid on to help the flavours develop. Plus, it’s pretty.

About 7 or 8 Fossil watches, 4 or 5 assorted brands, and now 4 by Christopher Ward which are the really nice quality ones.
