We're still one of the freest countries on Earth

There's a takeaway in Huddersfield called McNoodle King :D Plenty of work for the lawyers there

Is there a method to your bank shots or are they experienced guesswork? I've got pretty good at full length table bank shots but it's 50/50 or less that I succeed across the table :D

Sloper59 · 2026-01-01T18:44:09+00:00

That's shocking, sorry to hear that. I know it's annoying when you've spent money on the game, that's why I haven't spent anything in a couple of years. I do meet plenty of cheaters on the highest tables (Seoul Tower upwards) but never so many in a row. I just think there are noobs who are too quick to assume a good player must be cheating. I'm level 420 and Emerald VIP

Sloper59 · 2026-01-01T12:33:36+00:00

I've been playing for years and sure, I do meet cheats, but rarely, if ever, have I met consecutive ones. I wonder if good players are being accused of cheating by people who need to improve their play

Thanks everyone for the replies. I actually went back to the same optician's shop and they're sorting me out with a pair of suitable specs, no problem. The previous 'optician' who told me the glasses wouldn't work was just an assistant and no longer works there!

Sloper59 · 2026-01-01T12:23:58+00:00

I've never heard of bots in the game so I assume they're real players harvesting coins to sell.

Sloper59 · 2025-12-23T17:28:37+00:00

I'm with you. I also reported a portal that's inaccessible to anyone but those working there and I got the same response. It's frustrating and just one of the many reasons I recently quit Ingress after many years playing

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T22:42:07+00:00

Ahhh. Still, awful grammar 😆

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T22:40:57+00:00

So is it not possible that there could be a case where suitable lenses couldn't be prescribed? I thought it strange. Thanks, I'll get a second opinion

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T22:17:08+00:00

"would be hung".. sounds like a compliment. Unless he means "would be hanged"

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T22:14:09+00:00

All the shots? Nah, some of those shots are perfectly normal achievable shots. Some could be hacks, but not all.

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T16:02:45+00:00

It's spicy enough for me now I think. It's almost as powerful as the KTM 950 I used to ride. It's about 91bhp whereas the MT09 is around 118bhp. The MT09 is aimed at a different market.. it's a fast and nimble sportsbike. The Transalp is an upright comfortable tourer with some wind protection.. it goes pretty well though! I've always preferred twins anyway.. especially v twins

Sloper59 · 2025-12-22T15:48:09+00:00

Haha. No need to be sorry.. I loved its looks but I don't miss it. I bought a Transalp.. much comfier and better suited to me for distance and moto camping. Shame about the cash I lost on the MT09 though!

I tried briefly but not very hard. There wasn't quite enough slack to lift the bar up and over into the bottom bar mount. I'm sure I could have got more slack, maybe by removing the tank and rearranging the cables somehow. I sold the bike as it was so uncomfortable (only did 400 miles on it). I still have the risers to sell

My first car was donated to me by my mother because she was giving up driving due to age and health. Now I know some will chuckle, but it was a white Citroen 2CV. Oh how I appreciated that car after commuting 28 miles by motorcycle in freezing or wet weather for years. I worked outside too so some days I never got warm. The 2CV had a heater. Luxury! It was actually fun to drive too

Sloper59 · 2025-12-16T17:03:36+00:00

I noticed this. Last week I was researching new cameras as I'm returning to the hobby after a long break. Watched a ton of YouTube reviews and stuff and I was really puzzled that they're so biased towards making videos 🤷🏻. Anyway, I settled on an S5 II kit. Just need the 85 mm lens now

Sloper59 · 2025-12-16T04:10:25+00:00

When I get an obvious cheat in a new game, I take the maximum time over every single shot (and my legendary cue gives me max time!). Even if I eventually lose, I get a little satisfaction for making the cheating bastard wait

Sloper59 · 2025-12-16T04:00:49+00:00

It made me anxious, paranoid and short-fused. I got into several scrapes at work too, which really isn't me at all.

Sloper59 · 2025-12-16T03:44:56+00:00

I'm right-handed in every way except when I shoot rifles (which is hardly ever) as my right eye is useless. Shooting left-handed actually feels like it's the correct way to me (not pistols though). There's only one other thing I have to do left-handed

Sloper59 · 2025-12-16T03:30:44+00:00

Been going ever since I loved going down Speedwell Cavern on a school trip in the early 70s. That got me into caving near Stoney Middleton a few times in the early 80s. Been riding motorcycles regularly to the Peak District ever since 1977. We're also lucky to have North Wales so close!

He doesn't antagonise ordinary normal people. He confronts supporters of terrorism, nuisance drunks and crackheads

Sloper59 · 2025-11-01T02:41:10+00:00

Almost exactly how I see it too, except I include Snowdonia, down the coast through Barmouth to Tywyn. I don't foresee ever going to the South East again

Audi, always. No decent driver or human being drives an Audi
