its a great way to promote the games make a vid and let it go viral, and its a worthy cause so its great to see the big names on each side of the pond support it, besides its not like the queen doesn't have a good sense of humour.
as to the royals, I do support them, if not them then what would your rather?
no other country has a better system indeed most have things far more backwards, yes the monarch owns the land a few feet under your house and the air you breath but really who cares, every home is a castle and ever man a king inside his castle, if you don't like how small your castle is then work harder and get a bigger one ....
as to the idea of them being leeches, the royals paid for their own trip around the world and in doing so also paid for 4 extra aircraft to ship the freeloading media with them along with the extra security required for them all, they make the country a couple of billion a year in tourism, the queen doesn't pay tax yet she's only allowed to keep 20% of the money from the crown estates because the treasury hoovers up the other 80% and they call that the privy purse (which was 50mil in 2015) seems like far from not paying her taxes she's the one being leeched off by the country at large (nobody else looses more than 50% of their income to run the country)
besides which if the comunists got their way would they flog the rest of the family silver for tuppence today to some johnny foreigner who had the cash or sieze it for themselves so they could achieve the opulence they desire for themselves .... history teaches us that those at the top only look after themselves and because they crave power are unwise in its use, the royals are at least annoyed by power and prefer not to use it certainly I hope she does another few years at the top and lets her great grand kids grow up bit before they become smothered by duty first /

SteveFI use the crown rba deck with a 0.5 ohm Clapton coil and it works great at around 30watts ive also used claptons in the subtank rba deck although I tend to build them to around .06 and run them at about 27w wicked with either puff or muji (still have some of the original muji not the new stuff) I was thinking about getting the bachelor but not at its current price, maybe if its in a half price sale for dual coil units either a dripper or the crius

well apparently the EC commissioner for health is preparing ot file serious fines against the countries that fail to transpose the TPD legislation by the 20th of may, so I would expect the majority of them (20+ eu countires currently) to be passing the entire text of the TPD as is in a bit of a rush between now and then, but not to worry because the idiot is ideologically opposed to vaping and has already produced a secondary diktat to the TPD that banns all but tobacco flavours (including zero nic ones) and also is planning to restrict the sale of vg + pg and flavours to non industry buyers in the coming months, all safe in the knowledge that he wasn't elected and has a job for life unless he choses to step down .....
unless we leave the EU and that legislation isn't withdrawn then vaping wont even be an option in just over a years time for the majority....

that's they the govt was trying to get as many houses as possible to be fitted with solar panels back in the day, so a lack of power stations wouldn't be the end of electrikery.... but like all the great ideas the implementation was somewhat lacking .... perhaps they should have invested in new power stations after all ....
and yes without electric most things fall down, there was a great tv series about what life would be like if say a meteor bombardment (lots of small ones getting close enough to land before they explode in the air creating an emp that takes out all the electricity) it was a bit far fetched (because why would the entire planet suffer the same bombardment effect in a 12 hour period wiping out all power generation in the world) the effect was pretty fast, zero comms = instant chaos 90% of food production failed and the aftermath of a very short control grab by various gangs the majority of the population was either dead through violence or starvation with small isolationist enclaves all that survived after a few months.....
as to vape gear, like my phone and various other gadgets its chargeable via a solar or dynamo unit, I have a couple of each but the dynamo unit needs you to charge its internal battery before you plug in the device

There is lots of good news coming out now that the health services are getting on-board, just wish we could get the EU to realise this and overturn Article 20 and taking vaping out of the TPD, the rest of the TPD can still apply as it is for Tobacco products zero chance of that happening when the health commissar is 100% against vaping and thinks fags are better ...

3 were rounded anyway i just made one worde lol,i honestly thought they were allen key heads,tried the flat head method but was nothing to grip Looking forward to this it could be worse, they might of started off as star drives with the little nipple in the middle where its got a reinforced core ......... at least with torx heads you can often drill into them with the 0.5mm bit and then tap the 0.5mm allen key into them and twist them out if you don't have the micro sized removal kit god I hate doing tiny things though my eyes just aren't up to the task and the kids whilst more capable than me just don't have the knack for such things yet, I guess they need more practice so in some respects it might be simpler if they just keep being clumsy oiks and breaking stuff that has lots of pointlessly tiny bits, so long as they stop "trying to fix things solo" and doing more harm than good ....

for the dripper: ud Clapton wire 26+32ga, 7 wraps around a 3mm jig put the left leg in the top hole and the right leg in the bottom, spin the base round and repeat pulse fire the coil use tweezers to pinch together then rake them to ensure its glowing evenly from the centre out on both coils evenly (works out at 0.3 ohm great at 40w, if you prefer higher then make it 9 wraps for 0.5 ohm and drop down to between 27 and 30 watts) then wick load and wait a 30 seconds before sticking the cap on and chugging should give a good few pulls before it dries out and needs re-soaking, great build for testing trial flavours on and lots of clouds oh you can get the same wire from other places if you don't have any and cant be faffed with making your own, alternatively there's plenty of vids on YT or just buy pre made coils from FT for the steam crave I have no idea don't own one and apparently I might need some healing if I buy more kit although they sound nice

that's probably why they want you to pay for the call out, any change in the registration without notifying them first can invalidate the warrenty ..... had it happen 13 times with various appliances because I moved house .... the ****'s will use any loophole to get out of paying for a repair
on the other hand I became a bad hand at fixing appliances of all sorts over the years, not that I can manage it any more but then again I haven't had to move for the last few years because of a job ......
as to the email account problem, I fixed that little beuty by taking out an annual subscription with Microsoft so I kept the same Hotmail addy for over 20 years after the first time it happened because of a change in isp......

next time your trying to undo a torx head bolt without a torx bit use a flat head screwdriver that sits neatly between the points and doesn't have any play...... or you know buy kit like this one www.gearbest.com/hand-tools/pp_157348.html, lots of places do them including on ebay I just had that one in my saved list /

the evic mini is a decent mod that lets you lock the settings, single removable battery that lasts around half a day at 40w or there's dual /triple bat mods that will last 2+ days at the same settings (although there a lot larger)

ive given my good friend and problem solver windows a nudge so hopefully he will save me lol that was always my preferred answer when I didn't have access to the required tools, nowadays its the answer for other reasons more often than not
