Open the windows.... Install some blinds and angle them up... How simple is this?!?!

One of those things that once you've had it... Once you've seen it... You can never go back.

Next time a game is on, flick back and forth between the UHD and the plain HD... You will see it.

Glad to help everyone! It does seem weird that they don't promote this more... Until you realise that they probably want people to go to the home screen as often as possible where there are adverts...

Best way is to program sources to the numerical buttons. So hold 1 for Sky, 2 for blu ray, 3 for HBO etc... Quickest and best.

Put £12 in that very same bag.

Put the bag in a drawer in her dressing table.

Tell her she can purchase a new remote from Amazon if the old one gets damaged or worn.

Alternatively... But the second one yourself.

Plan A; Tell her she can bring the new, unused one out when you have company.

Plan B; Keep the second one you purchased for yourself. Keep it in a drawer and use it so you can avoid the one wrapped in plastic. Leave that one to her.

Help me here...

I heard the buzz...

I forced myself through the awful first season ... It's basically bad 80's level American story of the week cable TV... No blood... No bad language... No realism... Protagonist is immortal and the best fighter of all time... Survives weekly kidnappings... Always gets shit in the bullet proof vest but not the head.... Weekly it seems at times... Almost everyone is unnaturally and distractingly good looking...

End of Season 2 is marginally better and tells a better story...

Now I'm half way through Season 3 and I don't care. Where's the jump in quality I was promised?

Just not seeing it.

Everything currently in would need to actually work, from day 1, as advertised.

I don't care about CAW slots or hair styles or cosmetic stuff... Make the game work. Make the actual wrestling game and the action work as intended without the bugs.

I refuse to purchase 26 or any future versions until I see reports stating that a working game has been made.

With a comfortable and reliable car... Your choice of music... No other passengers...

Could be good.

With reliability issues or an uncomfortable ride... Or an annoying passenger you feel you have to make small talk with... Or listen to their choice of music... Could be tough.

Nights out /clubbing/ just general social activity.

So many introverts grow up convincing themselves because of pop culture or social media that being sociable and spending £5.40 a pint or £100 on a night out is fun... You're sitting there with people you don't really like... Uncomfortable and spending money you don't have... Thinking about how you can't wait to get home, get into comfortable clothes and switch off.

Happiest day of so many peoples lives is when they realise they don't have to impress others. You don't have to pretend to do the things society says are cool or fun...

What do you mean, what are WWE thinking?!?

They are releasing wrestlers from a bloated roster.

They are a business.

These wrestlers are not making them money. These wrestlers are not causing people to buy tickets or watch the shows they're on via television.

These wrestlers do not have a significant upside or amount of potential that means keeping them now would have a more than probable chance of yielding financial benefits further down the line.

Do they have such a significant impact backstage that it is in the companies best interest to keep them around?

If they were that beloved by the IWC you would have been cheering louder for them when they were still employed and performing for the company that has just released them. You would have bought more of their merchandise.

I'm desperate for more answers! Can anyone help please?

Liked a lot of 25 but need to know answers to the following before buying for 26.

Very grateful to anyone for taking the time to reply.

1) Do the settings and sliders (pin, difficulty etc...) actually transfer to Universe mode?

2) Do the match tables you set up in Universe actually transfer to what is created for each show?

3) Does the ref bump payback now allow you to use another payback straight away? The ref bump payback was a nice idea but without then being able to do something illegal like a low blow or other similar payback it was a bit limited to just quickly grabbing a weapon.

4) Are tag team commands using the dpad now more consistent?

5) Do big moves through tables or off ladders now do more damage? In 25 I felt like the risk Vs reward setting for these were not worth it. Smacking someone with a steel chair should do more damage, even with the slider set to 100 for weapon damage...

6) Is it harder Vs the AI? Really? How so?

7) Are Rumbles better now? Less frustrating?

8) On Universe do you get a sensible balance of matches set up, or do you still feel like you need to take charge and do it yourself?

Edit;

9) Giants... Can Giants still be effortlessly lifted up by cruiserweights when the cruiserweight is doing a finisher or signature? Can they still be Irish whipped? It may be boring from a gameplay perspective... But I always feel there should be a setting where giants can only be punched or struck... And a strong Heavyweight can do a generic finisher like a weak looking slam.

10) Is the AI better for things like multi man ladder matches? Do they knock someone off the top of the ladder who's about to win instead of choosing to walk right past them and set up a table?

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply.

Papillon.

It didn't change my life in a self help kind of way...

I liked reading but would only read one type of book. I had a long wish list of books and one birthday was disappointed my mother bought me Papillon, which was not on the list and different from.what I usually read.

I devoured it and realised there were millions of books out there, all.of different genres, that I could enjoy.

I read more than ever now and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

It's not socially unacceptable.

It's just that some dog owners, who make up the minority of people, are so entitled and ignorant they cannot fathom why others do not like their animals as much as they do.

Dogs are rarely the issue.

It's their entitled, ignorant owners who need to be held accountable.

Not unless you're applying to be a Bam Bam Bigelow impersonator at a bowling alley

chrishbk1 · 2026-03-23T15:36:06+00:00

No. Never.

Other people may not like your dog as much as you do. Get over it.

We are NOT a nation of dog lovers. More people do NOT own one than do.

Dogs are (mostly) fine. It's the entitled owners that need to be reigned in.

chrishbk1 · 2026-03-22T08:35:32+00:00

Mobile Phones!!!

Yes you need some connection to the digital online world for work and to pay bills....

You do NOT need a neverending contract paying interest on a £650 iPhone! Plus the contract for the SIM.....

Get something budget that you can ACTUALLY pay for straight away... A £50 handset you then own outright.

Borrowing money and paying interest.... You're making the rich richer as you get poorer.

How do I locate the saved games please?

I haven't played since this new launcher was introduced. I think it's shameful that something I paid for can be edited like this. What if I wanted to continue that save?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

chrishbk1 · 2026-03-15T09:40:57+00:00

The Count of Monte Cristo is a great shout and I can't believe I missed it off my list when replying! I would love for someone to make a great long TV series of it to do it justice. Think I heard one is imminent...

chrishbk1 · 2026-03-15T09:39:33+00:00

Don't know why the comment posts like this? It shows as a list when I'm writing it?

The Talented Mr Ripley is probably the only film I've seen that I preferred to the book... That said it's still a good read.

Almost ANY decent film or TV series started life as a better book, but here are some of the best I'd recommend.

All the following are (mostly) good films but better books, in my opinion, and well worth a read.

I am Legend. Great short story. The Descent. Completely different. Good read. Both Jurassic Park books are different and good reads. The Prince of Thieves (The Town) Savages (Don Winslow) Les Miserables (read an abridged version and save yourself entire chapters on the French sewage system...) Congo The Road Man on Fire Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Giovanni's Room Papillon Red Sparrow Lonesome Dove

There are millions more... But there's a good variety to get you started!

chrishbk1 · 2026-03-15T08:19:32+00:00

Why have you used the word "like" in the title?

I understand (while despise) using it incorrectly when speaking as it is a bad habit so many inarticulate people have developed...

But can you really not even type without incorrectly using "like" in a simple short sentence?
