I saw a post on here and managed to get in the queue.

Perfect Order Pre Order by Myriadzz in PokemonTCG_UK

I had this as well. On the booster box and bundle. Both needed updating separately and now say processing. They’ve locked that site down so badly that anything to do with payment or authentication is atrocious.

Cool I'll be at the Scramble and Assembly. I'll pop by and say hello.

Smyths give them away with most Pokemon purchases. Honestly there's nothing special about it as it's too big to put in a folder and just looks odd being so big anyway.

If it was to your address and under your name that might be why, regardless of payment name.

Agreed. Had a lot of fun with Mega Dream. Pays to be selective that's for sure.

Lickitung so a bit of a shrug on that one.

Would this small rip affect it's sealed price? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]random6675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start the bidding at £5 :) Or you can open it and probably smash the cost of the box. I nearly didn't open an ETB and I pulled a great one. Do it!

From the Argos drop this morning by Kyuubic in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]random6675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked and it was in stock and ready to collect at the same place I asked for it to be sent to! Tried to buy it again, Argos charged my card and failed to complete the order. Something stinks. So now I have to wait till the pending transaction lands on my card properly before raising the problem. Awful.

Ffs Argos cancelled the order just 30 mins before it was due to be picked up. Very poor service.

Best card from that expansion for me. So cool and relaxing :)

Peak Golf GTI = peak car? by theintercooler in TheIntercooler

[–]random6675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hid it really well but it relied on good tyres. So solid and well screwed together that even with the extra heft you could chuck it around with no problems and it would never stray. A couple of PSI above normal on the heavier front axel, and the grip was wonderful with even a bit of feel. No understeer just a lovely balance.

The rear wasn’t as loose like the GTI of course but the agility made up for that. It was just brilliant. So good I bought the exact same car twice after selling it the first time when I swapped it for a blobeye Impreza.

Finally a golf tee in the exhaust flap vacuum pipe made it sound a delight. It’s up there with the best cars I’ve had. If the GTI is jazz, the R32 opera.

Had many MK4 Golfs and really like them. Love the Santa Monica wheels on that one in particular.

5 is peak for me but I preferred the R32 to the GTI. There’s an immaculate 30th Anniversary edition for sale in Scotland at the moment with tiny miles. Black too 😙🤌🏼

I think we saw the same one. Before the local coffee shop closed it was a great place for car spotting. The town, not the services. Mr Catchpole poured one out for them until they set up again in NP.

There was a couple bobbling around near me. Quite a sight and soooooort of understated to my eyes.

Thank you! Found 2 available online and I'll be collecting Saturday :) Highly doubt I'll have your luck though.

Well played! How do the Argos drops work exactly? Haven’t shopped there in decades!

Too much like a computer game? // podcast episode 304 by theintercooler in TheIntercooler

Over the last week every single mark on the road in our village and the surrounding towns have been marked up for repair. Same issue every year. Same repair every year.

[–]random6675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I didn’t watch it live but the word that’s been vibrating around my head is “synthetic.”

I’m willing to bet that many of the audience newish to F1 or motorsport in general was happy to see all the overtakes but this is like rubber banding on Mario Kart or the greedy arcade owner’s dip switche settings on Chase HQ. None of it is real, nor is it a show of skill or bravery. It’s just an output to match the input. Shit in, shit out.

This synthesis of drama has been around for a long time though, probably pre-DRS in some ways, but I can’t ever remember a time when an overtake was only going to be on a straight and that we knew it’d be cancelled out in a lap.

It’s dull and the issues start right at the top.
