Dewalt "work light" LED is brighter..........(Packs up Lidl drill in disgust whilst vowing a John Wick level revenge on everybody responsible) lol

The film franchise died with the sequel, it was supposed to be a trilogy.

It's supposed to be going ahead, but like the Bond franchise there will be a few departures following the disaster at the box office.

The first returned around 500%, the second, costing twice that of JW1 has made just under half.

Well I liked them, very John Woo like in there action, best films Keanu Reeves has been in years & years. Complete garbage like Taken 2 & 3 the second film was not.

I wasn't criticising the viewers, but the second really was a gunfight, very little keeping with the premise the syndicate(s) and the Continental 'rule of engagement' were a direct result Wick's initial contract obligations.

Oh I know what you mean mate, it's like that Blade Runner sequel, Critics were straining their pants/knickers out raving about it, fans had mixed feelings and the general masses seen it was 3hrs plus, might actually have a plot they would need to follow thus stopping them from Snapchating pics of their private parts to each other so stayed away in droves.

I haven't seen the Bladerunner 2, based on your review I think I can wait until it's released at the local charity shop.

Lol, I haven't seen it either, was going to be one of the few times I was going to stomp up the £10 at the local sticky seat multiplex to listen to @rseholes rustle bags of starburst and slurp Ice Blasts that loud it competes with the 16000 Watt RMS sound system, but the guy Ian I work with who was a fan of the original said it was slow beyond all reason, says the bit where Gosling is going through the hotel looking for Ford went on for about 20 mins for absolutely no reason, no suspense building ect, just needlessly long winded, weird, says his arse was killing him and that was in the Odeon cinema with the "luxury" seats, F that.

A cup of Yorkshire Tea and a G36 SAW with a 75 Snail drum so I could pay a "visit" to the work. :Y

Last time I went to a Odeon half the speakers wern't working and it sounded awful, I complained politely and they told me to get stuffed basically, were quite rude. Their attitude was "Well you heard it didn't you" - Never been back since.

Think I'll avoid the sequel as the first film is a masterpiece for me and I don't want to ruin that.

Ever buy something and expect it to be rubbish, but actually turns out to be incredible?

That's what happened to me with my latest purchase, decided to get something hands-free for delicate soldering work etc, I normally use a loupe for such things but fancied trying something a bit better.
Got these on Amazon, could not be happier. Honestly not your normal cheap tat. Optics are pretty good, comfortable and lots of adjustments.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

My three Xiaomi Mi 10,000mAh USB power banks, they're more than 10Ah, use decent Panasonic 18650 cells and have pretty well-made PCBs in them... :)

Xiaomi phone user here, their phone battery life is superb, you can easily get a days use, unlike these bloody fashion phones like the OnePlus5+ ect

I've got a Yi dashcam, I think they are something to do with Xiaomi, A spinoff or something. Yeah that's a great bit of kit and could not be happier with it.
