What’s going on? Chelsea are in a free fall that is vaguely humorous but ultimately cringeworthy. Arsenal had the title in their grasp but have slowly collapsed like a flan in a cupboard. Brighton are playing amazing football and are rapidly becoming a lot of people’s second team. West Ham...

This train of thought popped into my head recently on a couple of occasions. One whilst reading a thread on this very forum and one whilst talking to some colleagues. What are the things that you feel like you’re very much in the minority with? It’s time to get things off your chest. I’m...

Have there really been no new threads opened since yesterday?

Good morning all! Prime day is here and for the next 48 hours there’s bargains to be had. I’ve posted this thread and will sticky it to general discussion for the next couple of days so that we can all alert each other to any particularly tasty deals. See anything good, please feel free to...

Not perfect, but definitely a good thing. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-firefox-privacy-feature-strips-urls-of-tracking-parameters/amp/

…and I’m talking EuroMillions amounts, let’s say £100,000,000 (115,814,134.40 Euros for my continental friends). Imagine that dream scenario, you will never have to worry about money ever again. You commission an architect to design you a house and as part of that, you treat yourself to a room...

I make it no secret that I’m a huge fan of FTL and have spent hundreds of hours playing it. But I’m a also big admirer of Subset’s other game, Into the Breach. It’s one of the best strategy games ever made and everyone should play it. Subset haven’t done anything new since then and have been...

The bell tolls and the time has finally come, after 27 years Internet Explorer will be disabled and retired tomorrow. It’ll be replaced with Microsoft EdgeIE, which will enable backwards compatibility and will be supported for at least seven years (I for one am excited to see just how rubbish...

As the title suggests, it’s been a decent period of being awake. I got to see two good friends cement their love for each other and tie the knot, the wedding meal was a roast chicken dinner (with a giant tray of ‘help yourself’ pigs in blankets placed next to me, I did some serious damage to the...

Sad to hear that the actor has passed away aged 67. Whilst he did many roles in his career, he will always be inextricably linked to his brilliant performance as Henry Hill in Scorsese’s masterpiece Goodfellas. Rest in peace, big man.

Just finished doing our work sweepstakes for the big race tomorrow and I’ve come out with Eclair Surf and Escaria Ten. I know nowt about the gee gees but a colleague does and he said the former was a strong contender. Anyone else playing with work or having a flutter?

Had a bit of an epiphany last night. Came to the realisation that when the kid arrives we’re going to be knackered, spending all our time looking after him and will likely not want to do much in the way of cooking. I really don’t want to spend all my hard earned cash on takeaways or living off...

This is so amazing and so weird at the same time… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-60961184

The Aussie spinner has passed away of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52. I’m a proud Lancastrian but unlike many of my contemporaries I’m not a big lover of the cricket. But what I do love is snooker and football and some of that bleeds into this post. What some sportsmen can do is...
