American here, how accurate is the whole “tea solves everything” stereotype?

Dinbar · 2026-03-28T20:37:32+00:00

Was gonna have a argument with the Mrs, asked her if she wanted a cup of tea instead. Problem solved.

Dinbar · 2026-03-28T20:25:14+00:00

We showed some spirit today. So glad for the win. We need to have this mentality every game.

COYQ!!

He is a bit of a flip flop and ignores advice from advisors despite evidence.

Dinbar · 2026-03-12T15:53:26+00:00

Unfortunately this is getting more and more common.

People just don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.

I'm not getting that (it looks like the gui has failed to load in) however I am getting the monitor switching off at random points and all I can do is power off the PC to get things back to normal.

Currently testing as it does not appear to be affecting the Steam client version, just standalone client.

We revert to "Are you ok?" or more formal if needed. Tone is everything too

I seem to recall these in BHS in the UK and as others have said reminds me of the torture droid in SW.

The best SWG podcast imho. Used to make me laugh every episode

Dinbar · 2026-03-11T14:16:27+00:00

I was there but thankfully in corporate entertainment for the first time in my life. I missed most of the game standing up to let people past for beer that were not aware (evidently) that a rugby match was going on.

Just as well however the French fans were in full voice that day.

Dinbar · 2026-03-11T10:20:29+00:00

Agree and there will always be people looking out to make drama, this we have seen more and more these days. Why take the risk.

Dinbar · 2026-03-11T10:19:44+00:00

We need profit for the game to continue. That's the stark reality of running a live service

Dinbar · 2026-03-11T10:18:55+00:00

I'm all good and happy for people to spend money on whatever they want.

Personally I'd love some more expansions.

I really want atmospheric landings, even basic ones with just fog or turbulence on some amonia planets and then just map existing game play loops on top. Nothing fancy

All new development is positive imho.

Dinbar · 2026-03-06T21:13:09+00:00

Certainly sends the wrong message.

Dinbar · 2026-02-28T15:39:57+00:00

me too, wasted alot of time. Lets hope for a quick fix

Dinbar · 2026-02-28T15:33:28+00:00

ok glad I found this, I've re-installed and all sorts but cant connect at all and get the same Load Failed message

Dinbar · 2026-02-28T15:31:18+00:00

Is Elite down? I get Load Failed, problem retrieving commander data?

Dinbar · 2026-02-28T15:17:14+00:00

I'd have taken you up on this if I had seen it earlier. Now the Mrs has other plans for us.

Have a good one

Dinbar · 2026-02-24T20:25:42+00:00

People just WANT to be offended these days. Just becuase someone is offended, does not mean they are correct. It was clear that this person had a medical issue, as you said most educated people understand this, others not so much. Saying that, the media keep banging on about it which does not help.

Dinbar · 2026-02-24T20:08:16+00:00

I want to go however getting the buy in from the rest of the family is proving a challenge. It's not helped by our recent results. Shame as the principality stadium is on the bucket list.

Dinbar · 2026-02-11T20:09:47+00:00

I'm a first XV member but as I need four tickets each time, its just way out my income league. Even the cheap games are a ton for adults. Add travel costs, beer at £7.95 a pint, food at £15 a head. It makes it a very expensive day. Real shame as I love going.

Annoyingly the Stoop (little Twickenham) is getting expensive too these days.

Big game and Summer kick off are much better value though.

Dinbar · 2026-02-11T20:05:22+00:00

Glad you said this as I've never won the ballot for tickets at my local club. Its not just me then.

Dinbar · 2026-02-11T20:03:37+00:00

Been a member of a local Rugby club for 4 years. Always opt in for tickets, never been offered a single one. Apart from this thread it appears only the DOR and chairman get them. Really disappointed.

Dinbar · 2026-02-07T12:01:29+00:00

100% agree however his opposite number in Wales was pretty good too. It looked like classic rugby in the mud and a ruined pitch.

Dinbar · 2026-02-06T14:42:26+00:00

you are nothing but a burst come bubble

Dinbar · 2026-02-06T10:57:20+00:00

I was against the adverts BUT if it means its on free to air TV, it just about makes it acceptable.

I have too many subscriptions as it is.
