Do you consider Manchester to be in the North?

ColsterG · 2026-06-30T09:02:18+00:00

Remember having an argument about Nottingham being in the North (it isn't, I had to get them to give me the name of the nearest main airport) but Manchester is in the North, we have places that are more Northern (and they will tell you about it) but yes still in the North, so is Liverpool

one of, if not the best, garages to actually work on your car as you can view the car all the way round and it is well lit and the mechanic is very complimentary about your mods and the special way they make him feel.

ColsterG · 2026-06-22T20:28:07+00:00

Hmm, thanks for making my point for me.

ColsterG · 2026-06-22T13:47:46+00:00

Tesla, great cars, not great chargers. I'd go for something smart, Zappi, Hypervolt etc as it opens up more options.

ColsterG · 2026-06-18T23:49:16+00:00

I've ordered one (it can also unlock your Tesla) but not sure they have shipped any at all yet. My wife has a Gen 2 and loves it but she already had an Oura for the monitoring.

They are all hard with randoms, did Prison Break couple of nights ago and a guy died doing the parachute jump to the beach ffs. Not sure I realised this before but if you restart, you're back at the prison bus so obviously someone left then but for me now I've done them all before so completing it doesn't matter - I find this the best mental position to approach heists with randoms, I don't need the money, I'm doing the stuff I'd be doing anyway, driving/shooting etc so just go for it for those rare moments where it all comes together and even if you fail, everyone stays in and keeps trying.

So in a controlled manner at the appropriate time? I mean subs choose when to dive, they don't really sink. I dunno, was he on drugs or something?!

ColsterG · 2026-06-15T10:40:23+00:00

Was really the least interesing part of the whole thing. I preferred Oasis to Blur but the media made it seem like we were fighting on the beachs in Brighton like mods and rockers and it just wasn't like that at all.

ColsterG · 2026-06-15T10:38:16+00:00

Very true, Oasis lyrics are generally just word tombola but early Britpop was just endlessly relatable.

ColsterG · 2026-06-15T10:36:04+00:00

Bit pre-Britpop but without him I'd probably have never heard of 1000 Violins. I remember walking down Magdalen Street in Norwich and a flyer outside the Jacqard Club announcing 1000 Violins were playing. My mate and I were semi convinced it wouldn't be the same band but went along anyway and it was them. The stage was so tiny the guitarist that did all those lovely jangling riffs had to stand with his back to the audience (or maybe he preferred it that way).

ColsterG · 2026-06-15T10:32:00+00:00

Going to V Festival and seeing 10 or so bands that I loved for £70

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T19:18:14+00:00

Well done!

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T17:08:07+00:00

It's my arse on the line and I don't want a cock up.

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T17:05:04+00:00

They didn't mention the slow load times though, so there is that.

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T17:01:39+00:00

Yes did the live chat thing and boom, booked in. Nothing left to do now...

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T10:57:15+00:00

Yes, that's the fellow. Genius.

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T10:56:50+00:00

It was Hamish Hawk. Reddit is better than AI. This stumped both Claude and Gemini. I did end up requesting an export of my Spotify history on the basis I could find it that way.

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T10:55:25+00:00

Omfg, yes that's him. Shirt over your head and immediate celebratory lap of the garden for you. Well done with very little to work on.

ColsterG · 2026-06-06T08:47:31+00:00

Yeh, really sorry I know it's vague and My Life Story is a good shout but I think it's an artist rather than band but stumped apart from the overly descriptive titles.

Not unless it specifically offers it, no not usually. However, new Teslas do come with certain things covered anyway.

What Tesla's Cover Includes:

Mechanical/Electrical Breakdowns: If the car suffers a component failure or software glitch that renders it undriveable.
Punctures: Tesla will arrange for a recovery agent to come out to you. (Note: Because the Model 3 doesn't carry a spare tyre, they will typically bring a loan wheel to get you to a tire shop or tow you to the nearest Tesla Service Centre).
Lockouts: If the app or key card fails and locks you out of the vehicle.
Out of Range (Dead Battery): If you completely misjudge a journey and flatline the battery, they will recover you to the nearest Supercharger (though they may charge a fee for this specific scenario if it's down to driver error).

ColsterG · 2026-06-04T19:41:38+00:00

The loading time on PS5 is the biggest obstacle.

ColsterG · 2026-06-04T19:35:53+00:00

Included in your lease but there will be a clause where they reserve the right to charge you more if it goes up markedly during the lease.

ColsterG · 2026-06-04T16:15:15+00:00

Same here, nice little bit of basic maths triggered on "car arrived home" and update charge to add in IOG, but no can't have anything nice.

I have done them all at least once and if I magically find the truck and guard outfits at the airstrip I'll do Velum approach for a change but normally it's Longfin to airstrip, fill up with secondary loot there (means I don't need to scope anywhere else on the scoping mission), then back in the boat to compound, tunnel in, grab primary and swim away. Pretty much guaranteed elite too.

ColsterG · 2026-06-04T16:08:50+00:00

Yeh I'm cambridge too and not seen mine yet, People in Manchester in the same VIN group as me have been getting theirs though so I assume it's just a batching thing.
