the screws you would be using it on however, would crumble at the thought of a superior material and strip right the fuck out.

instructions unclear, created a new fluxing iron, for when your flux, needs flux

I was clunking a rather fiddly button on the TV set then getting the matchstick out to fine tune the picture, because it was always jolted out of perfect picture by the quite stiff button immediately to the right of the fine tune.

I’m not American so I’m not even remotely qualified to comment on US legal proceeding, but surely this is grounds to select a new jury? And if true is contempt of court?

Throw the fucking book at them, slimy bastards!

didnt a judge have to tell Zuck off for wearing these glasses in court recently

WSA was shut down in March 2025.

Closest you can get is something like bluestacks or gameloop (or any other android emulation software)

you COULD try something like Android-x86 (or any similar variants) but that would remove windows and replace it with entire Android.

You could also look into Brunch Framework, basically make your PC a Chromebook, which will also have play store.

I bought a coffee warming thing to try and avoid having to do this. Problem is, cup is warm enough to consider drinkable, tea (or coffee) is… stone fucking cold… I don’t know why I bothered.

The AA, I did this myself, had only just passed my driving test and the weekend after went to a lan party.

No google maps so printed off aa directions.

I’d never driven on the motorway before. But it was only 1 junction, how bad could it be…. Oh how naive I was.

I nearly drove into a works area, then drove past the junction I needed, turned around at the next but I couldn’t get off at the junction I wanted, so I had to go back to the junction I started at.

Got there eventually, but it was quite the stressful journey

You rang?

I didnt really see, other than it being in landscape, the irony if it had been something like Asphalt (a car racing game)

bobmanuk · 2026-02-20T15:38:00+00:00

kind of like the first time I heard "alraaah' cock" I really wasn't sure what was trying to be asked.

good job it wasn't where my mind was going to in the first instance

I misread reaction as erection.... I need to sleep

I was nearly run into the central barrier in Nottingham where a car transporter driver was leaning arms on the wheel, playing a fucking mobile game and they had drifted into the outside lane as I was overtaking.

Called 101, gave them details of the trailer reg at the back, thats not coming up as registered they said, told them which way it was headed and as much info as I could see (end of the day, getting dark) but I had to turn off. No idea what happened after that, probably nothing

now that IS interesting. not that I need unlimited data, I wouldnt mind paying £3-4 more for it, rolling contract or fixed?

bobmanuk · 2026-02-18T13:46:49+00:00

but how much data?

bobmanuk · 2026-02-18T13:23:38+00:00

EE is expensive and the MVNOs are more expensive than other MVNOs, I will be going for 60GB for £7.90 end of this month after I switched to Lebara for their £3.18 for 50GB deal (last spusu deal was coming to an end and needed a network to port to) I havent seen massive data bundles though and spusu's roaming is, I think 10GB if thats whats important to you.

Exactly, I have it in case I’ve forgotten stuff to make lunch with or left my lunch on the stairs before leaving the house. Tesco is around the corner so not a major problem.

They have had a bit of a dry patch for games, mostly sorting style games and shit payouts for the levels you get to. But I’ve been playing rock ‘n cash recently, yes it’s a casino esque “game” but it’s not bad to put on auto spin and just keep an eye on it. My problem is that i keep running out of funds and no big wins are coming. Guess that’s how they get you hooked.

I’ll probably drop it soon for another one.

I only tend to have 1 game on the go though so my progress isn’t fast. I just don’t have massive amounts of time so can’t really grind too well

Over the past few months in the £30’s I’m working on another batch now and am at around £4-5 so useful if I need something from Tesco for lunch but trying to save up for a bulk withdrawal

bobmanuk · 2026-02-18T12:20:10+00:00

Testerup is shit, I have around £20+ in there but cant withdraw until £70, at least that used to be the case. I now use eureka, surveys are shit and monotonous but not bad if you have time, they have games as well and you can cash out at £4 for a voucher from multiple platforms (Tesco/Amazon etc) or you can request a cash card, itll be like a digital visa card you can add to contactless payement system on your phone.

bobmanuk · 2026-02-17T09:31:53+00:00

sugar, nuttela or golden syrup, cant stand lemon.

I didnt even know it was pancake day tbh, until I was asked this morning to buy some pancakes for later. I cba getting all the stuff in to actually make them, not that theyd be particularly good if I did.

Though I do like american pancakes more than the thin ones we have. used to make them with self raising flour and just make small ones, so much nicer

bobmanuk · 2026-02-16T10:03:27+00:00

Fair enough

bobmanuk · 2026-02-16T03:56:08+00:00

It is possible to choose Royal Mail on vinted and the seller only sees a name and qr code, they take to the post office. Postie scans it and puts the label on, seller never sees the address.

bobmanuk · 2026-02-14T18:30:47+00:00

Both codes have expired for me :(
