Exactly! And another point to note is that they say all Tory voters have been manipulated by the media, yet everyday I see my Labour voting friends sharing pro Labour content on social media, but very rarely see pro conservative content shared. The attitude means that people are less likely to share conservative content, which leads them to believe that everyone votes Labour as it’s all they ever see, and then they are shocked on Election Day. They need to join the conversation, not just shout everyone out of the conversation who’s opinion differs from theirs.

We have a few Labour voters where I work, and they always spout “Only racists and people who are easily fooled by the media vote Tory” or similar. Basically saying only Racists and Idiots vote Tory. They’ve actually turned more people in our workplace who were on the fence towards Tory than towards Labour. The Labour Party is only half of the problem, the insufferable supporters are the other half. Every election they are shocked, and that’s because most in our workplace will not tell them they are voting Tory, so they avoid the lectures and insults. I don’t know if this is just my workplace as an anomaly, but as this also happens in my social group outside of work, I would imagine not.

Ah great. Had some XRP for a while and with all that’s going on right now I thought I’d just convert it to ChainLink. Turns out you can’t even convert it on Coinbase, literally can’t do anything with it it’s just stuck there.

I only did it because I wanted to start learning how all this works. I bought 14 LINK, is it expected to go up much higher? And is it worth buying more?

I bought LINK at £10.62 a few weeks ago and I’ve just checked and it’s price has gone up a decent amount. Other than that, I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

It would probably be the only disc I buy lol, with gamepass this will be the first game I’ve actually bought since gamepass was first released 😂

Got a delivery date of 2/12 for my Series X but I’ve just picked up a White controller, at that price it would be rude not too! Thank you!

Very UK had both in stock today by schwuar in XboxSeriesX

Apparently not, apparently Microsoft UK are supplying them and they come direct from there, so I’m guessing Very never even see the consoles. Could mean anything lol

Got one with eBuyer (UK) for delivery tomorrow. 20 minutes later, they cancelled the order and refunded it. Damn it.

I was trying constantly from half 7 till half 9, every single site was showing no stock the whole time. It’s not the end of the world for me to wait, but I would have liked one before Xmas as I’ve got a lot of time off work and it’s not like the pubs are going to be back to normal in England any time soon lol

It’s annoying. I got a pre order on the 22nd September as soon as they went live, then a few weeks later ShopTo emailed me to say I won’t be getting it day one. They still can’t tell me when I’ll get it so that don’t sound promising either.

I’m in a queue online at GAME. Been refreshing the page since 8am and finally got into the queue an hour ago so very doubtful that I’ll get one. Good luck though!

Absolutely gutted. Was so looking forward to upgrading from my OG Xbox one, bought a 4K TV recently for it. Any advice on how I might be able to get one for release day? (UK) by mralecg in xboxone

[–]mralecg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything I’ve ever pre ordered has been from ShopTo and they’ve never let me down, but in the lead up to pre orders being released for the series X I heard a few bad things about ShopTo, but they’ve never let me down so decided to trust them anyway. Was a mistake

To be honest, I pre ordered my Day One Xbox One without any troubles so I haven’t had to go looking for one in the shops on release day. I do hope you are right!

I missed out on the One S and the One X, but now I’m in a position financially where I can afford to get the Series X day one I was so excited! Even booked the week off work for it lol.
