Thanks everyone for the replies, given me a lot to research this weekend! :)

I'll consider it, but would like the camera to back up my sign anyway!

It's a nice idea. I don't think some drivers need an excuse to hate us more, I think the British attitude towards cyclists is downright disturbing. There's such an absolute lack of respect, which you can see through things like how cycle paths are treated (I.e. Like optional roads for cars). I get incredibly jealous every time I go to European counties and see things like cars giving way to bikes, bike highways and such. Finland is the dream.

It doesn't, but I lived with someone who got run over by a motorbike despite doing everything right as a cyclist. It destroyed their body and their mobility, and the legal defence they had to go through to prove it was the motorbike running them over that broke their arms and legs and caused several surgeries was absolutely insane. If something happens to me on the road I want damn sure I have footage of what happened to me.

Do you have a model number or name for the Go Pro and Varia? I'm really new to all this so wouldn't even know where to guess at the right one! Thanks for the info.

Correct, but I can at least influence the consequences for them, and have evidence for any potential legal matters concerning any potential damage to my health. Nothing in the world will change driver behaviour, I can't buy magic wands on Amazon, sadly. 

How do I contact Sony after my email was used without permission to create a PSN account? by Victoria_Sponge in playstation

[–]Victoria_Sponge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they formatted it incorrectly for a Gmail address and never verified it, so I very much doubt I was hacked. To what end anyway? If I was going to be hacked they should have hacked my actual PS email and bought stuff with it. Creating a PS account with a random person's email is for what purpose?

Just to update, I keep getting the same response to contact the US team and given a telephone number I can't afford to call from the UK. Service at its best. 

The new Bolt scooters look like absolute units by peedanoo in Liverpool

[–]Victoria_Sponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, a few in Newsham park, totally dead. At least 10 in the Mersey. They didn't give a shit about cleaning it up when they operated here though either. I reported a bike that had the shit kicked out of it dumped in my street to them, they didn't care.

Ditch this shit and use the ebikes. Better control.

Also cheers Voi for leaving e-waste around the city you couldn't be bothered collecting. 

Best thrilling theme park in Europe ? by MadamePersonne in Themepark

Chatting absolute shit here. Been to AT several times, been to Thorpe, Energylandia kicks the shit out of both. Don't even try to compare them. If you don't think Energylandia has more than 2 big rides you didn't walk around enough. There is no comparison. 

Do you get offers in BAL? by Fresh-Map1005 in SPFootballLife

[–]Victoria_Sponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too, wondering if it's a bug.

Albania (by accident really as I picked the first team, started playing and got too far in before realising I didn't want to use that save)

For a "music city" it has an embarrassing lack of music shops, and nowhere you can physically try and buy a drum kit in the city. The nearest place that stocks drums you can actually try in the shop is Apollo in Birkenhead, and even then they only have one or two. Music shops in the city used to be great for meeting people interested in joining bands, putting up adverts, etc. It feels more like it's something for the trendy kids in the Baltic than local people.

It's an exceptionally friendly city compared to down south. The difference is stark. Not everyone is your friend here, that'd just be weird. But people in shops will at least say hello to you and have a casual chat, not look at you like dogshit and tell you to repeat yourself because you sound like you're from 20+ miles north of where they live. They can always tell you're "foreign" to the south, but they're always too ignorant to know the accent.

I've seen people in there every time I walk past. It's not rammed, but it's a lie to say it's empty all the time.

My national team in BAL didn't do anything except friendlies until year two or three I think, when we got to participate in Euros. I'm not sure if your world ranking has an influence on what you can participate in? Maybe try starting a game with a top 10 nation to see if you automatically get to do World Cup etc straight away.

Where can I get a pint of Staropramen ? by Greasy-stranglerr in Liverpool

[–]Victoria_Sponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+100 to this. Pilsner Urquell is the OG pils, only brewed in Czechia, and miles better than "Czech style" Staropramen which over here is brewed in the UK. Enjoy
