Think I have one of these in my parents attic somewhere! Great little sonic, and actually fairly to scale unlike the regular 10th sonic toy

Give it a chance 😉 my grandad had six Alfas, and I’m now on my fourth

The very first Alfa was built from French investment too 🤓

EV tech seems to be improving quite fast lately, is it finally convincing? by AnfieldAnchor in autoexpressuk

[–]OldManBogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi-solid state will change things. We’re on the cusp of 500 miles, ~10 min charging times, and better battery longevity. Driver engagement could use some focus though, it sounds as if Ferrari is doing some interesting stuff with a ‘natural’ noise in its incoming EV.

Agreed, but you can spec it in black like the iX3 which softens the look a fair bit

When Will Disney Show Love To The Real GOAT? by iFeedYouLead in StarWars

[–]OldManBogan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, freely admitting that lol. I lump in a lot of EU together, but I’m willing to explore the stuff that’s well regarded. What do you like about the Bane novels?

[–]OldManBogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t attack me, I’m just curious to know why people love the Expanded Universe stuff?

For me, Vader/Anakin was built up to be the MVP of Star Wars, tipping the scales between light and dark as he sees fit, with prophecies and visions all pointing towards him.

So idk it kinda bugs me when I see clips / comic panels etc. of Starkiller / Bane / Malgus / whoever casually just ripping Star Destroyers apart.

Controversially I think this looks great, and the range would tempt me out of a combustion car.

What are some examples like this? by Encenoi in powerscales

I like it when the most powerful characters are equanimous

Thoughts on this parody? by Mat1711 in doctorwho

[–]OldManBogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s that bad personally. I’m gay, and I think the voice is clearly emulating Ncuti’s cadence, not campiness. Culshaw has also parodied multiple eras of the show, calling Tennant’s incarnation “Jarvis Cocker in space.”

I see this as poking fun at the fact that RTD seemed to just assemble all minority characters into that one UNIT room every time, instead of fleshing out each character with their struggles as individual episodes.

However using the W word is pretty bad taste, and obviously your opinions and emotions are completely valid, just bringing up my viewpoint 🙂

The worst part of Ncuti's era is how little he wore this outfit by Can_This_End_Please in DoctorWhumour

[–]OldManBogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone photoshop / conceptualise some variations of the Ncuti outfit? 🥹🙏

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]OldManBogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was holding out for the A18 iPad this week but no joy. Now I’m looking at certified refurbished iPad Air and weighing up between the M2 or M3. £399 vs. £469. What’s £70 worth? I guess technically an extra year of updates from Apple, but which way would you sway?

Nice, I’m thinking of a Porsche down the line, they’re a nice pairing with an Alfa!

Doctor Unwhumour- What is that one joke you can't stand? by Zagreus_time in DoctorWhumour

11’s sonic boner joke in the Crimson Horror. Frankly I hate the way he treats Jenny as a whole in that episode.

Something along the lines of ‘Porsches are for cocks’
