I find a pen and the white pen easier to use when using the small numbers of the candidate method.

Re: What have you just bought?
A Sony UBP-X700 Blu-ray/DVD player. Our old unit was SCART only so wanted one to do HDMI into our new TV. I would have loved something a bit better but at this price a bit better seemed to cost a lot more. I would also have loved a device that played discs superbly, upscaling as needed without all the smart features. (We already have lots of smart.) but is seems that without the smart the disc playback also often suffers.

I've never even played a Blu-ray before and possibly only played 1 DVD, I'm not into collecting and just stream everything since the dawn of Napster back on the dark ages!

Xnews for me, lol.
Hearing aid supplies (Hooks and tubings - online)... Getting them from the hospital is just a complete pain in the backside and not worth the hassle.

We have a large collection of DVD's, mostly ex-rental from Blockbuster or offers at the supermarket. Very rarely paid anywhere like full price and they are ours to keep, I don't have to worry about the streamer pulling the titles. Generally they are family films that the story and production are bigger than any suspense so are fine to watch multiple times.

Ordered 2 tyres for fitting at Tesco next Monday as mine don't have much tread on!

Just renewed mine for another two years - like most subscription services, if you wait until the last couple of days, you get the renewal at new customer price.

Pretty decent little unit and plays 4K discs as well. Got mine a few years ago so probably paid a fair bit more for it.
