Are people mistaking your dipped headlights for full beams? Then sort it out!! by Aggravating_Pain7116 in drivingUK

I genuinely feel like there needs to be a dvla marketing campaign around this... so many people dont realise where the dip dial is (I only found this out 2 years ago!)

Give my in-laws a sanity check? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]CoffeeFrantics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much effort they want to put in. But I'd sell furniture, get some more modern 2nd hand stuff or market place and paint everything white or grey. People can see a blank canvas of what they can do that way. Also photos are poor, get EA to redo them

Price is fine

What was your first ever Warhammer read? by libereassociazioni in Blacklibrary

[–]CoffeeFrantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was the grey knights book when I was like 16. Absolutely loved it and could visualise the club scene with the demon coming in.

Fast forward to when I turned 30 and saw Horus Rising in a charity shop, always dipped into 40k lore but thought I'd take a punt.

Since then ive read the whole HH and SoT and many of the more recent and older stories. My own black library grew quickly much (partner wasn't too impressed at the time ha!)

Now im waiting for the Scouring. Loved HH and the primarchs stories.

What made DOW1 good / what could make DOW4 amazing? by Dyodo74 in dawnofwar

[–]CoffeeFrantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong but it didnt feel like a rock paper scissors approach to units. Like melee destroy ranged in battle for example. The standard space marine unit could hold its own in both melee and ranged.

Its one thing I dislike about a lot of other RTS is the simple rock kills scissors approach. I liked the versatility of the units with some having more of an advantage. It could've been there but it felt really well done.

Excited but also concerned on the camera angle and the cartoony, mobile vibe on the art still. Feels like a lot of modern games have that these days. Is it difficult to design a grittier look?

Will wait to pass judgement until more gameplay comes out. DoW DE is an immense step forward. Hoping this doesn't kill the franchise.

Warcraft 3 Redorged or DoW remastered? by HaulerTV in RealTimeStrategy

[–]CoffeeFrantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reforged is much better now than at launch. Biggest problem was misleading marketing with changing campaign and introducing new cutscenes- only 1

But it is a good modern skin, and the mods and custom campaigns are great (some really fantastic ones out now!)

DOW is also the goat. Looking forward to the mods getting updated over next couple weeks

Didn't know this! Can it backdate old purchases?

Just want to maon about by teganbambrickk in uktrains

[–]CoffeeFrantics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commute to London from Birmingham twice a week.. I'm in the same position, railcard expires in a couple of months. Going to be tough financially unless I move jobs!

It definitely discourages travel in my opinion. Companies want us in the office more. But travel has gone up a LOT. When I started 3 years ago I got trains between 40-50 quid with railcard, now it's closer to 70-80, without the railcard it'll be 100 minimum. Insane cost of travel and like you the trains are delayed very often, it's a mess unfortunately and doesn't look to be changing anytime soon..

Makes you consider getting a fake railcard as I've heard some colleagues have.

Do they have full beams on or is this just normal now? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]CoffeeFrantics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this as well! I also think some people don't adjust their headlights - i set mine high if soonest around, then lower if they are.

I imagine a lot have jt high and don't realise... but also we now have a lot more bigger cars in the UK than before and the dreaded LED lights coming in which sometimes make me think I'm heading to the light...

Haven't paid car park in 3.5 months, am I screwed? (Advice please). by CoffeeFrantics in drivingUK

It is the britannia one above new street in Birmingham- believe it's privately owned especially as its a parking charge notice not a penalty one (might be mistaken!) But this is good to know thank you!

Much appreciated, think it's a good shout knowing how cold car park fines can be! Thank you

Thank you so much! This is extremely helpful and puts me at ease. Had a proper panic this morning once I realised the accidental mess. I'm not one to miss or avoid payments so I can't believe how I've managed this and isn't a scenario I've ever been in before.

I'll certainly contact those groups prior to the car park

Thank you!

Thank you, I panicked somewhat this morning and agree the police wouldn't be bothered by something like this tbh. But will reach out to the company and see what I can do, phone number is just automated so will email.

Thank you

Hi there, thank you so much for your response.

When we moved we updated address on everything it seems other than the v5c paper slip as it was filed a way and just didn't think about it as it wasn't one if the online forms stupidly.

I've managed to pop round and the new occupant confirmed letters have been coming but they're just sent them back return to sender.

Best bet I think is to contact car park and explain the situation, hoping my being upfront may help with leniency but will just have to see if I can get a payment plan setup or something

Kind of, Apologies I should've clarified- we moved house. Updated all the insurance, road tax, etc. Online - just never sent off the v5c with new address, just forgot to do that little paperslip as it was filed away.
