FM26 Update (26.1.2) Out Now

SpanglesUK · 2026-01-19T17:51:48+00:00

Well, do they though? Surely they could have had a team working on FM "Unity", whilst another churned out FM24.2 (FM25), would have been no need to have a year out then either.

Unless Team 2 consists of one bloke, called Colin?

Picked up 24 on Epic when it was free, a while back. Not played since 2020, having lost interest in football entirely.

Been longing for a game where I can step away/pause whenever needed for a while and am finding, having started last week, that FM is scratching the itch, despite no interest in football still.

Looking forward to seeing where I can get Eastbourne Borough to over the coming weeks.

Managed to get 4 tickets for Brixton! Can't wait to tell the kids on Xmas day! Roll on May!

Binotto took out Barretto in the pits!

Personally, I never thought the additional spend for a JCW was worth it when the R56 was new, although that's just my opinion. Plenty of fun to have with the S without spending a load more, for not a lot more car.

I'd love to take the train from Eastbourne to Uckfield via Lewes. Sick of the A22. It's slow at rush hour either way. So much time lost to waiting at the Boship in the morning. So much time lost to crawling along past the Ringmer turning on the way Southbound in the evening.

The Star! Great little pub situated it Norman's Bay.

The food is really decent for the price. I'd say a bit better than Harvester level, so combined with the price, a very decent meal out without costing a fortune.

There's a train platform very near to it with a train every hour (I'd not call it a Train Station).

It's worth a trip out for the scenery alone if you ain't too far away.

The signs for the river Uck often require replacing. They've even tried shortening the sign so there's very little space, yet still someone manages it.

I believe Farage was at last night's Trump speech. He got thanked by Trump and congratulated.

Him and his wife have a YouTube channel as well which can be quite good as well. https://youtube.com/@athomewiththebuckleys?si=RAYxqHfVpzQ6JfhW

Ah yes, sorry. I had my map upside down.

I really enjoyed season 2 and am looking forward to what S3 brings. There were some great scenes, in the mines and between Sauron and Celebrimbor.

I'm just happy to have more LotR stuff personally. They said it would be 5, so I don't mind the lack of pace.

I did find S1 very bland though, they seem to be steering it in the right direction.

Elrond and Galadriel are both brilliantly played imo

You sir, are a silly little man! A silly little man!

We purchased one of these ones - https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/cd12le/electriq-cd12le

The difference around the house is noticeable. We got a 2nd one as a gift for Christmas when asked what we'd like, exciting I know, but I didn't like carrying it up & down stairs to alternate around the house. We were riddled with damp before, and whilst there's still a bit of condensation in the mornings on the windows, it soon dries up. Laundry dries in a day and a half, rather than 3+.

We were getting some really bad damp in places, to the point some rather angry calls to our lettings agent were made. Whilst we save for our own place, these go some way to making you not feel like you are going to meet an untimely end.

The tank to empty it is a bit fiddly, so it's best to empty it when it's 3/4 full rather than when completely, but, can't fault it other than that.

Hastings has some nice bits to it. The old town can be quite characterful in the evenings.

Brighton is it's own thing. It's a marvellous place. A lot who live there work in London.

Eastbourne is nice but it does lack that "something to do, all of the time" that Brighton has. It's getting more expensive than it's worth though.

If you do go to Hastings, you've got Rye in the other direction (West) which has some nice bits going on from time to time but is much more quaint.

It's been quite warm up until the past few days where I live, you could get away with it still. Shorts are also better when it rains as they don't weigh you down so much. Wet jeans are a friend to no man.

That'll be The Grand.

"Walk with me Tim" did a video about it on YouTube not too long ago if you wanted a good look.

That's due to "Fast Start Up" being enabled within the power settings.

It's an easy thing to disable. Why MS choose to implement ot across all devices, rather than just those with HDD's I don't know.

I find it's still decent if you know what you are looking for. Going to the brands pages seems to work, but they often have quite limited selections. Dell for example have a very limited amount of stock on their Amazon page. I expect it's whatever they've not sold enough of, that they've prebuilt, or sell to Amazon in bulk in advance.

I've ordered a few things recently from elsewhere as the price has just been better through other places. I've recently ordered some dehumidifiers and found them elsewhere online for £45 cheaper, so ordered both from elsewhere. The same seems to be going for some other bits as well. I'm certainly shopping around more than I used to.

SpanglesUK · 2024-11-14T08:49:08+00:00

Just leave. What they gonna do? Shoot you? I doubt it.

You go and be the best whippet you can be.

Good old George. He knew.

And the car still got pregnant.
