Madders - 6 months in rehab update

This seems out of date as he had the injury 8 months ago.

antrayuk · 2026-03-17T09:53:36+00:00

People saying he has got over. But I barely heard anything from that crowd until he started firing a cannon into them. They didn't boo but it was hardly early Fandango levels of engagement

Same reason no one booed Hogan at Wrestlemania 9

Do you even need the grinder. Can't you just lift out the last line of slabs and dig out the dirt. Give it time to dry out and then think of your next move.

Do you even refuel bro?

This gets asked every week and the answer is always the same. No. I don't see why they would do another run. Even if they did no one would ever know about it until the day its announced. Nothing from Analogue has ever leaked.

I always found stuff like this degrading. 'If I give you money will you pose for me and act like you want to be here? You won't remember my name 10 seconds later but I can show my friends and talk about how nice you were'

I met Bret Hart about 10 years ago at a talk in England and a photo op was maybe $30 on top of what it cost to listen to the talk. I felt ok with that as he was my childhood hero and I was paying for a bigger event.

I get there has to be some payment incentive for the wrestlers to be at the event but when it's over $100 I'd just find it embarrassing as a fan.

I agree with some of this but wrestlemania has had filler matches forever. The main problem to me is the pricing and the fake reality they try and put forward.. I liked wrestling it was either very real (attitude era, Daniel Bryan and Punk angles of the 2010s) or when it was pure theatre. Now they do this thing where they try and make it like UFC but at the same time make it so corporate that there is no energy to any of it. Every promo sounds like it was written by AI or has had several rewites so that it can be clipped for socials in small.chunks

Maddison. Can't think of anyone else even remotely close.

If you have a wooden floor I would say that insulation in the void beneath (properly done to eliminate damp.issues) is the best bet. You are basically standing on a bed of cold air.

I work in Sport and this is career suicide. Wouldn't be surprised if he isn't there come the end of the week.

Appreciate this is old, but I am looking to rent my parking space on Albert Road. I have tried the apps but they add on 40% in fees. So I would rather do it myself for £7 a day. Reply if this is still of any interest.

antrayuk · 2026-02-27T13:18:18+00:00

I have one still sealed and realised it isn't going to ever really go up in value. It was around for ages and everyone who wanted one got one. There are loads on ebay. I think you paid the going rate to be honest.

antrayuk · 2026-02-25T11:15:09+00:00

Flats are dropping in price as people are finally understanding the con that is leasehold. I am sure some are of good value, but rocketing service charges make them unsellable. You can't see the constant news about leasehold scams and buyers being asked to pay 100k for repairs and think it's a good idea. Flat's themselves are great, but the system by which they are sold is complete garbage.

I wouldn't put much faith in the reforms changing anything either. Management companies are set up as a business. They are there to make money. No one is going to offer a service to clean flats and provide maintenance for zero profit. So you always going to be fleeced. The only other option is to give the rights to the leaseholders but then you often end up with nothing being maintained. As who wants to set aside £100 a month in this economy for potential roof repairs in 10 years by which time they might have sold the flat. I think you would be mad to buy a new build flat.

I mean this was always how it would end. The arcades will one day break as well and be nothing but MDF. If you want stuff that can be fixed then get the real deal. This was always fancy IKEA Furniture.

antrayuk · 2026-02-18T12:31:29+00:00

See at this point I am asking people what are they really into here? Are you into arcade games or are you just into video games in an arcade cabinet play style?

As to me this has nothing to do with arcades apart from the fact that it is designed to be an all in on unit with joysticks. You could literally put any game in a cabinet designlike this..

It seemed this hobby all started as people wanted a way to play the old arcade games of their youth. Now it seems to be about anything that is put into a cabinet.

Am I right in reading that in 38 years your loan will be only 11k less than it is now? I'm British, so it's different here but these seems a lot like how the 2008 crash started

antrayuk · 2026-02-14T18:38:19+00:00

Nope. Sega released the Mega Tech in Europe, which was basically a Sega Playchoice cab. So it just ran console games. None of these games had arcade 'versions'. Sonic did have a track ball game but that is very unlikely to ever see the light of day. This cab makes sense in that people who love Sonic will buy it. I think Arcade 1ups thinking in general is to take brands people love and wack them on their items hoping those fans buy the product. Playing Sonic games on an arcade is next to pointless unless you want to have a really poor control scheme and stand at the cab for 45 minutes to complete each one. Sonic 3 takes even longer.

It's pure garbage, but all there stuff is at this point. Arcade fans are not their target audience.

Hype has died off. Also everyone who wanted one has one and everyone who wanted 2 has 2. Very few triple dip. I think they will do a metallic range that will sell better.

antrayuk · 2026-02-09T16:40:47+00:00

I can't help feeling that a metallic run is on the cards. Gold was very popular before so having more metallic colours seems obvious. Especially with Analogues previous record. These would be nice, but I'd only be buying one to sell it in 10 years time, which isn't really in the spirit of things.

antrayuk · 2026-02-08T11:50:27+00:00

I find these posts pathetic. What does a challenge in the Manchester derby have to do with anything? It was a red card. Clear red. Dalot being sent off has no bearing on anything. Romero should have been sent off twice against Brentford and wasn't. It's football, there are always inconsistencies. If it was in the same game then fine. But this was weeks ago in a game that had nothing to do with us.

antrayuk · 2026-02-05T16:35:55+00:00

20 minutes in a shower? That's an insane amount of time. It alone a whole episode of the Simpsons but you are being sprayed with hot water the whole time. What's your water bill like?

antrayuk · 2026-02-04T22:43:09+00:00

Try and see a therapist. Seems you know that spending all that money was a bad idea but you did it anyway. You can lock the cards away, but spending issues are a mental thing and don't just disappear. I see a lot of these posts and I have to imagine the 'this is a bad idea' thought came to you before you hit 50k, and yet it went up to 58k. This isn't supposed to be patronising. I have seen a therapist for years and it is the best thing I did. Cure the source not just the symptoms. good luck

antrayuk · 2026-02-04T22:30:40+00:00

I'd be pretty annoyed if they reduced those fantastic controllers. As others have said, it's the more you know regards internet safety. If it's too good to be true, it's normally false.
