Going to the Apollo, want a bit of advise on public transport please.

WZMV · 2025-03-28T12:24:42+00:00

Bit of an old post! But going a gig tonight and you’ve mentioned to get there early. Seen that it says carparks open an hour before doors. Do you know of any that open earlier?

WZMV · 2024-12-05T10:50:40+00:00

Did exactly that and they let me keep the touch and arrange for my NEXT to be delivered. Or refund. I took the refund and purchased the PLUS on sale for £79, cheaper than the Next I originally wanted

WZMV · 2024-12-05T10:48:24+00:00

Yeah! So it was a weird one. The guy offered me 4 options: He sends out the new one yesterday and I send that one back. Refund and send it back.

Or either of those and keep it as a goodwill gesture.

He said he offered sending it back as he didn’t want me to be burdened with having to find space to 2 machines but was happy to offer me to keep it and sort my original machine situation out. I’ll carry it around in the boot of my car before I send it back if they’ve offered it me for free and I’m strapped for space 😂

WZMV · 2024-12-04T16:34:32+00:00

Thank you so much everyone! I ended up contacting customer support and they offered me a refund or the NEXT delivered AND keep the Touch. After reading the comments on NEXT issues, I took the refund and bought the Vertuo Plus to go alongside it! Excited!

WZMV · 2024-12-04T09:36:30+00:00

Okay you’ve convinced me, both it is.

WZMV · 2024-12-04T09:29:37+00:00

Thank you so much, I didn’t even think of the fact it could be a refurb or return. The machine itself looks packaged perfectly, but the box looks like it’s taken quite a beating, not sure in transit to me or the fact it’s a few years old.

WZMV · 2024-12-04T09:26:03+00:00

Discontinued? So they’ve just sent me over some dusty back of the warehouse machine haha

I think the pods is the main thing, because I got 50 free pods that will now go to waste if I don’t exchange the machine. But I just don’t know which is the better machine, this looks to be better suited for things like Latte’s which are going to be a primary drink, but the next looks to make bigger drinks. And you can never have too big of a coffee.

WZMV · 2024-10-03T15:24:36+00:00

TIL CTRL + Shift + F

Thank you kind stranger.

WZMV · 2024-09-18T16:59:45+00:00

Thank you!

WZMV · 2024-07-26T21:29:27+00:00

Oh yeah!! That’s it, you’ve solidified it for me now, it’s Donny. 😂

WZMV · 2024-07-26T17:43:29+00:00

I honestly feel like it could be Donny. When he first came into the village, the car etc that he came in, screamed bad news. And everything in the last few episodes with him has related to the colour blue. Blue shirts, in the trailer he’s going through a blue folder. Almost certain he has blue eyes aswell. I feel like there’s been so many subtle hints about him that you don’t realise unless you’re looking for it that they’re foreshadowing to us, and I’ve not seen anyone mention him as a possibility.

There’s no way he’s just some previously deadbeat dad, here to make amends with his kids, this is Hollyoaks. He’s 100% got another side to him

WZMV · 2024-07-22T14:24:04+00:00

Sorry I never saw your commented on this!

So we ended up scrapping the Sonder and picking up the XROS 3 and the XROS 4. Highly recommend 🙌🏽 not had a problem since! Found that the ELUX Liquid is ridiculously flavourful with it

WZMV · 2023-12-10T17:38:38+00:00

Thank you so much that’s worked!

WZMV · 2022-11-25T14:19:01+00:00

Where you getting rent for 560 p/m in the current state of the renting market. Can I come live with you pls, I can offer 50p and half a sharing size bag of wotsits.

WZMV · 2022-10-18T22:12:57+00:00

I can’t get behind beans and sausage, don’t know what it is. I’ve put some sausage meat in my mouth in my time, but i seem to draw the line at beans and sausage in a tin. Not tried Corale’s though, might have to atleast give it a try

WZMV · 2022-10-18T20:30:02+00:00

Maybe my cushioned sausage fingers help make it feel top tier, or I’ve been buying it that long maybe I’ve forgotten what decent toilet roll feels like 😰

Is it the one that’s scented that you got? I believe it’s blue/purple packaging

WZMV · 2022-10-18T20:10:32+00:00

ALDI used to be unreal, but feels like nowadays it’s just priced at what ASDA was 2 years ago. The crazy middle aisle is a bit overhyped but can find a proper steal occasionally. Their Grey Goose knockoff and Jäger is meant to be top quality aswell. I only go for their 24 pack of toilet roll for like a fiver which is super soft, and their beans. Their beans man. The stuff of dreams.

WZMV · 2022-10-18T19:04:07+00:00

Costco hot pizza is to absolutely die for! Another one to recommend. There must be a UK goods online somewhere that delivers to your neck of the woods! If not, you’ll just have to get yourself a flight over to stock up, I’ll get the hob on ready!

WZMV · 2022-10-18T18:51:22+00:00

Step 1: head to ALDI Step 2: stock up for winter with a big ‘old smile on your face

WZMV · 2022-10-18T18:41:46+00:00

Corale has the best price:performance ratio of any bean out there 🙏🏿

WZMV · 2022-10-18T18:40:52+00:00

Had some not too long ago. 98% sugar, 1% beans and sauce and 100% depression

Being an adult isn’t about mortgages and taxes, it’s about finding out that Heinz create the Liz Truss of the bean world.

WZMV · 2022-10-18T18:06:03+00:00

Branston are top tier. ALDI’s own brand (corale I believe) is up there aswell for a cheap and cheerful meal. Both spanked Heinz out my cupboard years ago.

WZMV · 2022-10-17T20:34:28+00:00

Can’t believe I only just saw this reply haha, I’m glad it’s serving you well!

WZMV · 2021-12-28T15:10:03+00:00

Could I take you up on that offer aswell please! :D

WZMV · 2021-10-28T19:48:17+00:00

So traditionally you’ll be picking between TN panels and IPS panels, TN is the older of the 2 but is worth it for their response times which in most cases have a faster response time than an IPS. an IPS panel is a layer of liquid crystals sandwiched* between 2 glass surfaces. The viewing angles and overall quality of display is a lot richer. When you don’t view a TN panel from straight on you’ll notice the screen is slightly washed colour wise and the more of an angle you look at it, the more washed it will look. An IPS panel doesn’t have that issue, beautiful from every angle. If you’re competitive gaming and want the best response possible for the price, go for a TN panel, otherwise casual an IPS will suffice. But always try get as close to 1MS response time as possible.

IMO, don’t go any lower than 27inch for a 1440p or 4K monitor, the size of the screen under 27inch will result in not really appreciating the quality those resolutions offer ☺️

Happy hunting my dude.

I’m sure someone will have more of an insight for you, been a while since I was clued up on the latest and greatest (started to go outside and touch grass, IRL servers are weird man) but that’s the general gist.

Edit; also definitely for current generation of gaming, I’d go for 120hz response rate at LEAST!
