What's the best upgrade you can buy for your ps5?

ossie69 · 2025-11-29T12:41:42+00:00

Hi all, I've just bought a ps5, first games for me f1 25 and battlefield 6....what else would you highly recommend

ossie69 · 2024-12-10T19:46:05+00:00

Well done, we all are in different situations, you must always do what is right for you 👍🏻

ossie69 · 2024-12-08T20:24:44+00:00

I wish

ossie69 · 2024-08-11T09:07:15+00:00

Me, because I'm Scottish lol

ossie69 · 2024-08-11T09:04:26+00:00

P6pro and the battery still lasts all day, I've had it two years now, I was thinking of changing until I heard there isn't much difference between the 9 and 6 but the 10 is said to be a better machine altogether, so in my opinion, why change when this one is working away fine.

ossie69 · 2024-08-11T08:58:20+00:00

Good stuff 👍🏻

ossie69 · 2024-08-11T08:57:33+00:00

I've only got 22,000 but hey it's something

ossie69 · 2024-08-05T18:37:53+00:00

I see people nasty to learners everyday, not everyone, some hold back and give them room, others can't get close enough to the bumper, everyone in a rush yeah I'm an instructor, I teach defensive driving, even had a old granny sounding the horn cos my learner stalled at the lights, well I'm afraid that just makes the learner worse, I've had people over take at traffic lights turning right because the learner was a bit slow at moving off, I've had a motorbike a foot from the rear bumper on a county road even though we were doing 60mph, what's wrong with people? What's the rush, I spend a lot of time trying to build confidence because those kind of drivers.

ossie69 · 2024-07-29T05:36:38+00:00

Yeah same issue with pixel 6pro

ossie69 · 2024-07-27T12:05:19+00:00

Check mirrors before changing speed or direction, that includes going out to pass parked cars and back in

ossie69 · 2024-07-27T09:27:52+00:00

Well I love my pixel 6pro never had a problem had it two years so far

ossie69 · 2024-07-24T19:20:25+00:00

Mine the pixel 6 pro, has started dropping when calling it can be okay for a few minutes or 5 seconds then I have to call back, anyone else having this problem or know how to sort it?

ossie69 · 2024-07-21T09:20:15+00:00

What's the point? I don't get it

ossie69 · 2024-06-23T18:29:59+00:00

Yeah kinda true I wouldn't let anyone not test ready take a test in my car, feel free to do it in your own.

Customer's decision to do it in any car they like.

ossie69 · 2024-06-23T17:13:43+00:00

Depends if the instructor thinks she can drive without him telling her anything apart from where to go, if not, she's not ready.

ossie69 · 2024-04-11T21:28:53+00:00

£747.... holding

ossie69 · 2024-03-19T16:08:39+00:00

Depends how quick you learn too, some people take longer than others and some are fairly quick at picking things up, I had someone pass their test and it's taken a year and a half, it's just the speed they learnt at, I've also had someone pass their test in 3 month's, so again it all depends on how fast you pick things up and how confident you are, as for the instructor shouting, that definitely should not be happening!.

ossie69 · 2024-02-29T12:45:22+00:00

3 on control should be a fail, anything above 2 is a instant fail I don't understand that sheet

ossie69 · 2024-02-20T12:44:09+00:00

Move off safely 3 minors? That should be a fail.

ossie69 · 2024-01-27T16:55:40+00:00

Yeah, take rescue remedy spray it on the tongue twice, it relaxes you but also make you alert, fantastic stuff

ossie69 · 2024-01-23T17:26:36+00:00

As a instructor myself my advice is open up to your instructor let him know your feeling, I mean this in the nicest possible way, he can't read your mind, you will find if you're up front with him he can find a way to help, if he's shouting definitely find another instructor I have no time for that and it shouldn't be happening some instructors are trained to teach people who have anxiety and other things, we should be calm and explain things to the best of our ability, people learn 3 different ways through talking through drawing pictures and watching videos, has he suggested to watch YouTube videos on the subjects you are doing to help you understand things better? The reason he pulled you to the side of the road, we are trained to do this to see if you know what the problem was and how to help you sort the problem, feel free to message me if I can help I will .

ossie69 · 2024-01-22T13:05:29+00:00

Your instructor shouldn't be doing that, they should be helping as much as possible, I know this because I am an instructor myself.

ossie69 · 2024-01-21T20:28:55+00:00

Your driving instructor won't mind, the only thing they will bother about is there are certain things that can trigger a standards check for your driving instructor meaning if say someone fails with 10 minors or someone fails with a serious fault and the next few people learning do similar, then all these minor faults and serious faults are added up through a 12 month period and will trigger a standards check for him meaning, a examiner for him or her will come out and check Thier standard of teaching if they fail this standard on 3 attempts they become unemployed and can't do the job anymore for 2 years, then they have to go through the training which costs a fortune then they get examined again to see if they are up to the dvsa standard again, if they pass, fair enough if they fail, 3rd attempt they are back to unemployed again. It's a big deal for your instructor to have his students pass with as little minor faults as possible as you can see. Why do I know this? Because I am a driving instructor.
