Haha, I pop in and have a laugh now and then… mostly to check second hand sales posts.
There are some great knowledgeable people there but some of the absolute bollocks advice I’ve seen there at times cracks me.
“I haven’t done it but it should just drop in” 
I don’t speak the lingo. Sat there for 4hrs one morning reading stuff and my dumb arse meter hit rock bottom and shattered. Then I came back to reality when the phone rang for business, oh right yea stuff to do.
No doubt I did see some decent people on their for sure 
Just a friendly disclaimer 
Shouldn’t that be slatted timber mate, or is that just Westralian thing? 
Behind the doors on the left is your slatted timbers 
A good coating of Lanolin after a few seasons and she’ll be sweet mate! 
Been testing all blasters to build a spreadsheet of baseline fps to track performance from any changes
Pulled a stock CYMA/JUND M4 out of the cupboard, put on magpul front grips and a iHobby SLR hopup/flash hider. 300fps out of the packet. Had to double check fps so tested against my built CQB CYMA which pumped out 280 fps like it has forever. Sometimes you get lucky.
Also found out that you cant carry a metal enhanced DMR CYMA build if your arm is buggered
Got my phone screen replaced for the second time in two weeks 
$240 the first time
$230 the second time
Had to find a different place due to needing my phone for work to complete paperwork and accepting next week’s allocations and the first place needed to order and needed the phone fixed today
The first place that I originally got it fixed had none of my phone’s screens in stock so went to five other places before I could get it fixed the same day

Always had good support from these guys at Underwood
There was a story on sunrise, about phone screens…and the ripoff prices to replace them.
There is a movement in Europe, where customers are demanding user replaceable screens be sold, and phones made as to facilitate easy changing.
People are sick of being ripped off.
I hung onto my galaxy s5 for as long as possible.
It was the last with the user replaceable battery…another bugbear.
You could buy a replacement battery for about $30 on eBay.
I reckon apple charge a bundle, for a battery change…
I personally stick to $300 phones…Samsung for the win…
I use Oppo, they’re the poor man’s Samsung galaxy… I basically only wanted it for the 64 mega pixel camera for my videos.
Had it for around 3 years before having the replace anything on it other than the tempered glass screen protector
Must’ve gone through at least $100 worth of those but they were worth every penny as they got me there years without having to replace the screen
Definitely need to start backing up family photos and videos and other data, phone numbers etc though
The biggest problem was my particular model Oppo isn’t very common, so I’m told by the repair shops of course 
, so not many repair shops keep the replacement screens for it in stock
@Wombat thanks for that, I’ll look them up in future if I need my phone fixed in future, much appreciated
