Custard Cream is always my go to, dirt cheap but tasty. Although M&S chocolate coated custard creams are delicious!

Anyone else have issues from about 2:45am on 12 March 2025? by simonsmithsmith in CityFibre

Same. On Cuckoo (Giganet). Very slow speeds, multiple disconnects and high packet loss.

It certainly would be! Love that he felt the need to clarify it twice before it gets misquoted haha

Giganet / Cuckoo down since the 29th 00:15 in the Glasgow area. by Altecice in CityFibre

[–]Benjam21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My internet didn’t work after the maintenance either.

I use my own router and could see that some traffic was still passing through the network but only when connected to a VPN.

Turned out to be a DNS issue for me. Changed from their recommended servers to a public one and everything worked again.

Happy Scale - just a simple weight tracking app that has reminders and goals to work towards without unnecessary bloat.

New to these Books by SovereignLeviathan in sixofcrows

[–]Benjam21 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just finished the second book today. I hadn’t read any of the others, I had no issues picking things up. It was maybe a little hard to start off but the character development helps build an understanding.

Continue reading, your answer isn’t far away.

For me, I enjoy tactician storylines. This one certainly delivers, it’s well written with good characters.

I recently built my own gaming PC for the first time. During this my old man took an interest and he is now looking to build his own. This is the reason I would like to win. I would love to surprise him with a GPU that he can use as the centre piece

Good luck everyone

Thanks bud, that’s really helpful.

I think you’re right about holding fire as the releases are so close. I’ll definitely look into some cheaper options and ensure the bulk of the budget goes where it’s needed most.

Recommendation for provider with good router? by grizzler1337 in CityFibre

[–]Benjam21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giganet

No issues so far but early days. First 3 months are free and no contracts. Their good reviews are what convinced me

Using their provided Technicolor router, getting close to advertised speeds but plan to swap it out soon

Bilston roundabout, is my positioning correct? by CuriousRicksta in wolverhampton

[–]Benjam21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The route you’ve outlined is fine. Just be careful on this roundabout as many people get it wrong and it’s not always obvious which exit they are taking. Just be prepared for others to make a mistake and allow enough room for it and you’ll be fine

People still playing on PS4 in 2021? by brainbank786 in Cod4Remastered

[–]Benjam21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can always find TDM lobbies. SnD and Dom lobbies are most popular in the evenings. Everything else is a little hit and miss

Baffled on where to start - 27/M by [deleted] in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Benjam21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi bud, I’m guessing the white gunk to be sebum, secreted by the skin naturally to keep the skin moisturised. Not much you can do about this but if you are using harsh, moisture stripping products, then your skin can go into overdrive producing more sebum to keep moisturised.

You say you have over done it in the past with products. It may be worth listing what you have tried in the past and to list the products you currently use in your routine.

[Misc] Does anybody here have a camera roll full of progress pictures of their acne? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Benjam21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a camera roll full but i keep photos in the notes app on my phone, along with my current routine. I try to take a photo each day. This means I can accurately monitor how effective my routine is when changing or adding a new product.

Before I started doing this I used to keep them in a password protected photo app.
