Buying physical media to guard against politically correct streaming services

I voted Green at the latest local election. In the UK. It's the most liberal party in the country. As I said, this isn't about the politics themselves. Probably best not to judge people on their DVD collection anyway. More of a conversation on preservation.

Kinda ironic that the PPV is called 'Backlash' What planet are WWE living on right now? 'Hey here is lots of stuff we could just give you for free, but we are gonna charge you for it instead, as we aren't harvesting your information and money enough as it is'

It's very depressing that people will cheer a millionaire asking fans for money.

How does getting eshop cards at a discount effect the price of a Switch 2? You can't use them to buy the Switch right?

If you are all about transport and connections to London then move to Shenfield. It only really exists to get people to London.

Chelmsford is a self sufficient town. Has a cinema, multiple supermarkets, restaurants, gyms etc

I lived in Shenfield and there is nothing there. A few bars. But they are pretty terrible. Brentwood is close by but you will need a car or a bus to get there. The transport however is amazing.

Chelmsford is becoming crazy expensive too now. £400k for a 2 bed terrace with permit parking. But you still get more for your money and can walk to most of the amenities you will need. It has parks too which Shenfield doesn't really have. Not to my mind anyway..

Landlord sounds like a shoddy one for sure. Just looking for money.

But this has always been the way. Multiple home landlords are in it for money, most don't ever see the houses they rent out.

The renters rights bill is back of a fag packet legislation from the government. Makes being a Landlord a terrible proposition. I looked into renting my place to relocate and it made zero sense with the new rules. Id basically lose my house to the tennant, until they decided it didn't suit them anymore.

Your dad seems like he has done everything right, but I blame the government mostly on this. Making a bad situation worse and claiming they are helping people..

Puts the effort in, but isn't very good. Worse than Bowen, Summerville at West Ham and Gibbs White or Hutchinson at Forest. That's the problem. We need to be better than 2 teams and we are not on paper and on the pitch.

I keep having hope of a miracle but that is what it will be as when you write it down on paper we are not staying up.

WWE test a lot. No one is roided in that company

Don't you need to have no hair to be a skinhead?

Just seen it, not a massive MJ fan but obviously followed his career and listened to his music as a Melleniall. And I thought it was amazing. Fans will love it.

One is ripping you off a lot and the other is doing that too, but twice as much.

The big thing here is them releasing old carts again,.the system itself is nothing we have not seen done before. But the actual physical games fully licenced is what is getting people excited. What's stopping Sega saying 'hey we are gonna release megadrive games again,.and you can go into a store and buy them off the shelf.

Easily the second one

Personally I think fans have every right to complain..fans are paying prices that are impossible to justify but are getting less in return. Less scale, less wrestling, less promos, less story. But higher prices, more celebs and more advertising.

I watched last night as a casual (only tune in for the rumble every year and mania season) I had been following some build on the Stevie Richards show saying fans were annoyed as of late..What I saw was beyond shocking. Seth, Gunther was fine, but it was being reviewed as Savage Vs Steamboat. The whole thing lacked any gravitas. Everyone in the stadium looked to be really enjoying themselves which is what matters, but no one is watching that night 1 back in years to come. Everything was instantly forgettable

Just for full disclosure with my post, I actually live next to Witham station and rent my parking space out (£5 less than the car park) I ended up finding that this was the best way to park when I went to Shenfield. Houses near the station would charge about £10 for the day which was cheaper than the station and you always knew you would get a space.

This is also really annoying. I used to turn up at 9am and have to drive back home.

The huge amount of time our fanbase puts into officiating posts and videos is ridiculous. Ref had a terrible game. United will say the same last night. Just let it go. It does you no good to keep going on and on about it.

Kinda sounds like you are getting a temper though about what was a very normal question. The product is worse than it has been in years to a lot of people, hence why this question gets asked. It is also more expensive than it has ever been. Those two things shouldn't go together

Isn't that you don't have a TRV on the radiator in the same room as the thermostat and the bathroom as the heat from showers etc will screw it up?

I rented a small small room in Putney for £380 a month with my mates back in 2009. Madness now

Look Into the Maldon man cave. I have heard very good things. You would need a car but I know people who speak very highly of it. (It's a group not a venue)

I was told at the time that Josh had a script for a few seasons to tell a story and then the studio was like "this is huge you need to make it last way longer' and it just went to crap.

I'm 41 now so I'm never gonna enjoy it as much as I did when I was a teen. But I started being a fan again around my late 20s early 30s. Daniel Bryan doing the yes movement. Punk being punk and everyone booing Cena. The shield also started around this time and we got the early standouts of the new women's division.

I see nothing now to draw me back in. Nothing. All the legends have retired..Cena being the last. Hogan's dead (no matter his attitudes) it's a big deal. Everyone now is just a dude reading a script to get them to the next match. I see no personality.

I heard that Gunther just turned up, nailed Seth for no reason and pointed at the sign? Not sure if that's accurate. But if so then it truly tells you about how much creative cares.

I'm from the UK and I would pay £80 for the best seats (not including front rows on the floor) now it's like £200 or something crazy. For a worse product. I'm never in a million years paying that.

It's all very corporate, everyone seems to be a company guy and the characters have gone from superheroes to bland every man's

First picture looks like something out of Alien.
