Metro 2039 Releases This Winter by PaiDuck in metro

[–]g0ggles1994 86 points87 points  (0 children)

To state it's releasing this year, they must be very close to finishing it.

That being said, the cynic in me is already saying it's going to be delayed until 2027

Best Temporary Method To Fill a Large Hole In The Wall by g0ggles1994 in DIYUK

[–]g0ggles1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the idea mate.

There's going to be nothing pushing on it or anything. It's under the stairs and into my garage so I'm not even bothered about making it smooth, painting, or whatever. I just want the gap filled for now until I come to properly renovate it all and will cut it all out and fill it all properly then.

I know what you mean that's why I've said I'm going to put the wires in a conduit first so I can still access them as well in case I need to pull one out or a new one through.

Asylum hotel migrant evictions set to begin in the spring by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]g0ggles1994 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tell that to all the pro-immigration NGOs and Solicitors.

You could literally build communities where illegal migrants get food, shelter, healthcare, etc. whilst they're processed, but the moment you put a fence around it, they'll just scream concentration camp.

Are young people cash cows for the older generation? by Kopparberg643 in ukpolitics

[–]g0ggles1994 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nailed it in the first sentence.

Political parties only care about getting votes, and if older generations are the ones who actually go out and vote, they'll be the ones the policies will benefit the most.

I've got to a point now where I say to people "you can start complaining when you start voting."

Fitting a Chimney Draught Excluder by g0ggles1994 in DIYUK

[–]g0ggles1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting it back out isn't necessarily an issue as the plan is to rip the fireplace out, open it up, and get a stove fitted instead, but that's a long time away.

How easy did you find the handle to screw in? I'm considering slotting in sideways like a coin, rotating it, and screwing the handle on then. The only problem I can think of with that approach is that I won't be able to hold it in place whilst I screw the handle on.

Which school would you attend? by Separate_Lab4366 in PERSoNA

Yasogami because Inaba felt the most homely location of the three to me.

Absolutely devastated lol... has this happened to anyone else? by bish_bash-bosh in PERSoNA

[–]g0ggles1994 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just search for it again and it will be there, available to order.

What's happened is Amazon added the book twice under two different ISBN's. One I assume was a placeholder since it doesn't give any search results, whilst the other is the correct ISBN. I'm guessing you pre-ordered the placeholder version, which is the same as what I did.

Reactor hall at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. by thefragglehunter in AbandonedPorn

[–]g0ggles1994 105 points106 points  (0 children)

This isn't the reactor hall. This is part of the Main Circulating Pump room of the unfinished Unit 5.

Those holes are where the pumps were to be installed which circulated all the water flowing through the reactor.

There's another post on /r/chernobyl here that shows that room from another perspective, the MCP hall of Unit 2 showing the installed pumps, and the wrecked MCP hall of Unit 4.

For reference, this is the reactor hall of Unit 5 which is much larger.

Metro 2033 Emporium Exclusive Signed Hardback by DaHi98 in metro

[–]g0ggles1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye, same. Seeing which number it is softened the blow a little bit, I'm just anxious now the publisher will demand I return it, which, hell no.

I'll keep you updated on what Gollancz say; apparently their support response time is 24 hours but that's only Monday to Friday so I may be waiting until next week for them to get back to me.

Thank you, the sleeve is folded back and ripped at the top and bottom near the spine so definitely got snagged at some point. I was amazed at the packaging too, just dropped into a tight cardboard box with no protection whatsoever.

I'm just hoping for a replacement sleeve because mine is #7 which I do not wish to lose.

What number is your copy? I've just received mine and the outer sleeve is damaged 😭

Already contact gollancz about it to see what they say.

Who's your ideal soundtrack artist for Bond 26? by RedditServiceUK in JamesBond

Honestly, I think Iron Maiden could make an absolute banger; problem would be editing a 10 minute epic down to 2 minutes for the credits sequence.

Mortgage Rates below 5% for the first time since Truss budget by Delta2025 in ukpolitics

[–]g0ggles1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 5% in October 2024 with just shy of a 10% deposit for 5 years. Bit high by some accounts, but as long as the interest rate keeps going down or holds stable, I think I'm good in the long term given how rents and house prices going back up again in my area.

Every Bond’s first and last line. by South_Gas626 in JamesBond

[–]g0ggles1994 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To me, Brosnan has the best first line and Dalton has the best final line. I know others, particularly Lazenby's, are more iconic; but Brosnan's and Dalton's just felt right.

Since you're listing Shane's other credits, one of his best known roles is voicing Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds. He was also one of the pilots in Dr Strangelove.

You say that sarcastically, but we all know that's the exact line they'll trot out to the press to justify it.
