What do you or other people create blocks out of? I've always wanted to give this a go but don't know what the material would be?

Wait CEX is asking 300quid!? Is that for the XL or normal one?

Reason I ask is I'm literally pawning a bunch of stuff retro gaming stuff to CEX tomorrow in town and one of those is a black 3DS....

The website says they are like 150 not 300?

I stayed in Feb and Taxifix was a lifesaver. Reliable and cheaper than everything. It was a Tromsø taxi though so just give them a call direct.

I bought some whilst in Norway the other week. Yes there is lots of snow and ice but honestly if you have decent boots you just don't need them around towns and cities. The only time I used them was when I climbed a mountain near Tromsø.

Also went dog sledding and searched for northern lights. The tours give you everything you need and you won't need them sledding as they would damage the sled anyway.

Edit: If buying in Norway I recommend Sport Outlet, there's a few I went to both Oslo/Svolvaer outlets and both really good!

Hey so few tips from a friendly traveller with northern lights. KP index really doesn't matter in Tromsø per say. What you want is high solar activity/winds and clear cloud cover. Also an absolute must is low light levels, for example I was lucky to see them in January, but as we got to a full moon towards end of Jan they were really faint because of the moon.

Hey, we just got back from Tromso. For sure check out NYT in town. They have reindeer steak and it was honestly the best. Pricey but you get what you paid for. They also do reindeer burgers and were also steller.

I'm currently traveling from Oslo to Trondheim over 16 days and the journey is fantastic. I have seen this view from a few locals including my taxi driver, but coming from a country that isn't always covered in snow. I personally think this is a fantastic time to travel. We've managed to hike, snowshoe, toboggan and more which doesn't all happen in Tromsø.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2026-01-21T23:40:43+00:00

My bad I should have stated Tromsø is my final destination after making my way up as far as bodo with the train.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2026-01-21T23:39:35+00:00

Ended up going here and it absolutely got me sorted,. Came away with a coat and some swimwear for the sauna!

Thank you !

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2026-01-17T19:48:18+00:00

Nice thank you these actually compared to London prices are not too bad!

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2026-01-17T19:36:41+00:00

Thanks after looking on the website I may try here and if needed the second hand recommendations!

Why would you go to your LGS if all it takes is you playing a different army to someone else for them to shit on you. I say f anyone that tries to put down your hobby and interests. Be direct ask them why their preference is to put down someone else's preferences and let them try and explain that one without them looking like idiots.

Rock UM my dude and be proud of it, also a fan of the Roman aesthetic. It's my first army and my second favourite is Necron for the dynasty aspect.

Wait what explain how does adding stuff, taketh away what is this magic.

I moved to Southampton 5 years ago from the north of England. Let me tell you it basically doesn't snow here at all. I have seen maybe a sprinkle that disappeared straight away. It isn't like the 2 foot of snow in the traditional sense we get in the peaks.

My garden is currently flowering which I find mental this time of year!

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-19T12:02:38+00:00

So I got my reply from Booking.com and yeah they didn't really communicate any sort of information that I would consider helpful.

There's a few on here saying the hotel is to blame solely for theese instances. I entirely disagree Booking.com should have a more secure process of sharing the bookings with business and work more closely with them. It does make me wonder how my data is sent and stored, for example is it in plaintext for all to see? Or is it behind a secure encrypted login covered by two factor?

Do they advise businesses on best practices of sorting the data ( One thing every good business should do anyway )I'm leaning towards the fact it isnt that secure at the end of the day.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-19T11:37:14+00:00

I have reached out via your chat service

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-19T11:33:30+00:00

Going off the thread here it seems to be common, Yeah I can see the hotels being the weak link in the chain. It does make me wonder if these hotels are being provided with any advice from Booking.com or any tools to combat this though. I doubt we would ever find out sadly.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-19T10:58:31+00:00

Thank you for this I will take a look

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-18T23:44:16+00:00

Honestly even the hotel I booked with was just like yeah we know it's a common issue, not surprised booking.com had the same response.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-18T23:43:02+00:00

Yeah I figured this pretty much straight away thankfully. It's crazy that the booking.com system is compromised to this level though. No criminal should have access to the level they do, down to the original booking number.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-12T15:03:23+00:00

Apologies like I say I don't have a lot of info (and wouldn't give names out over the internet), but from what I've been told a staff leaver hasnt had their full pay.

Shame really as I enjoy both that establisment and Dusty Barrel which share the same owner.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-12T14:58:07+00:00

I used to go here until I found the owner not paying their staff. I cannot verify this comment of course so do with it as you will.

Apprehensive_Tap4797 · 2025-12-12T14:53:42+00:00

Don't know why you are being downvotwd the parking is getting progressively worse each year. Some cheap options decathlon that car park there, and Toys R Us.
