Panels
Last year our roof was showing its age. I had a couple of people round to assess it and was told it probs had another 10 years left. I figured by then we'd be retired and probably wouldn't have the money to replace it so decided to bite the bullet. I enquired about panels at the time We were...- BoredBloke

Unemployment, 5%
Off Payroll will have a hand in this. Prior to the changes, when we rolled off a contract we didn't appear on the unemployment stats because we were still employed by our non earning ltd companies. Now that umbrella working is rife, as soon as the contract ends, you are no longer on their...- BoredBloke

Dual monitors, kb, mouse, webcam etc KVM laptop and PC
I've got a similar setup but it was a bit of a faff. My Laptop doesn't have a HDMI out, only 4 usb C ports. So I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C3CXPXNW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That allows me to run 2 hdmi cables from my laptop. The work laptop...- BoredBloke

Barbecue Recommendations
Agree with the holding its temp thing. Mine is a Faff because it's just a thin metal body, so no insulation so you tend to find your watching the temperature monitor all the time as the temp can vary. It has a water pan in it above the fire. This is heated by the fire, so it does help...- BoredBloke

Barbecue Recommendations
Beef short ribs mainly because I like them and they are easy. Last time I did it I did about 5 kilos worth took about 5-6 hours. I've done a whole brisket in it, hot smoked salmon and chicken. It has 2 levels inside it so is pretty good for doing lots of food in one go. It can do about 4...- BoredBloke

They are good and easy to use. I've got a Pro q meat smoked and like you say, it's a pain in the @rse having to babysit it while it spends 7 hours cooking!
