If anything I take it as 'companies who have money invested in the future are analysing available data and taking the actions that they believe will mitigate damage to their bottom line', but you seem to be phrasing it in a way that suggests easyjet have important information that we're not being told?

Insomnia's got me leafing through George Hackenschmidt's book from 1911, and maybe it's the sleep deprivation but I'd swear I'm reading a transcript of a Joe Rogan podcast
-
To save this post and mean I haven't bumped the topic for nothing, I've just picked up Dominator Stu Allen's book, along with The Saturday Afternoon War by Tony Earnshaw from Wrestling Heritage which looks like a nice little archive that'll sit nicely alongside The Wrestling & Have a Good Week...
Has anyone picked up the two new Meltzer books of Observer reprints?

I got a PSVR last year but I've struggled to get as into it as I'd hoped. I can handle the motion sickness, but the neck and headache it gives me after a while tends to put me off using it. It also feels like I'm viewing the world through an uncomfortable welding mask, and I just don't seem to have the coordination to use the move controllers properly without being able to see them. I'm hoping this all stuff that can be rectified by time, patience and perhaps a different VR system, but if I'm being completely honest it's just made me and my broken body more grateful for how little physical movement gaming requires.
That said, VR porn is top notch!

I was going to say something about Jericho's podcast, but this appears to be the wrong thread...

Surf n turf anyone?

The hard drive failed, so super easy to fix, but since I've got the money set aside for a ps5 I'd rather just wait till I've got a spare laptop hard drive knocking about than spend money on something that might be gathering dust in a week (or so I've been telling myself since launch day, the day it broke)
-
So what's considered the limit of 'retro' these days? My ps4 packed up and haven't been able to find a ps5 yet, so I dug out the ps3 and I've been surprised how cheap it is to pick up all the peripherals I couldn't afford first time round, and the amount of games I kept meaning to play but then 12 years seemed to happen.
Just picked this up (not the one pictured) for £20, and planning to assemble a full Rock Band set up, and got my eye on a couple of nice steering wheels for that generation that seem to go pretty cheap these days. Any other now-affordable-peripherals people can recommend?

The entire Terry Funk's Wrestlefest retirement show. The whole card is just such a batshit insane mix of '97's best and worst that it feels more like a TEW playthrough come to life than something that should exist in reality. I mean really, who doesn't want to watch Dory Funk Jr. getting grumpy and confused by the bullshit this Rob Van Dam kid calls wrestling, excited young up-and-comer Dennis Stamp in his first ever main event, or a drunk Jake Roberts tagging with spherical Puerto Rican deathmatch twins The Headhunters against Hakushi, chubby Masato Tanaka and HAYAFUCKIN'BUSA?!
The show is awful, but everytime I feel in the mood to pop on an ECW dvd these days I end up picking this up instead. Just look at this card, it's like a weird tape trading compilation, or a 1PW show;
Roadkill vs. WING Kanemura
ECW World Television Title Match: Taz (c) vs. Chris Candido
Shark Tsuchiya vs. Lady Cooga
The Bushwhackers (Butch & Luke) vs. The Youngbloods (Chris Youngblood & Mark Youngblood) (w/Ricky Romero)
Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Balls Mahoney
ECW World Heavyweight Title Match :Shane Douglas (w/Francine) (c) vs. Tommy Dreamer (w/Beulah McGillicutty)
Dory Funk Jr. vs. Rob Van Dam (w/Bill Alfonso)
Mankind vs. Sabu (w/Bill Alfonso)
Jake Roberts & The Headhunters (Headhunter A & Headhunter B) (w/Victor Quinones) vs. Hakushi, Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka
Terry Funk vs. Bret Hart

As someone who stress-smoked their way through 2020 I'm finding it really difficult to keep an eye out for these early symptoms...

An old friend of mine has really gone off the deep end this year. She was always the kooky new age type, but social media echo chambers are a powerful drug, and its reached a point where I've just had to cut my ties and remove her from my friend lists.
Luckily for me her page is public so I can still spy on what new insanity she's spouting, for a laugh, like the piece-of-trash human being that I am.
Here's some recent christmas crackers:
some days my blood pressure can take it, but when I see this shit first thing in the morning I end up getting as wound up as Ricky Knight when someone bashes Boris, and that's not healthy.

I always liked the 'out-of-the-blue' eliminations in the middle of Survivor Series matches, it made it feel like there was so much going on that the wrestlers couldn't find their normal level of focus so they'd get caught out with moves that they'd usually be able to 'brace themselves' for.

Merry Xmas ya bastards. Don't ever change.

Seems like the appropriate thread for this. I've never managed to figure out the right balance between taking care of my physical health and being a raging hypochondriac, especially with the aches and pains of old wrestling injuries. I'll mention things to people and I'm completely clueless whether the reaction I'm going to get is "yeah, that's normal" or "why the fuck haven't you gone to a doctor for that yet?!", yet I've seemingly got several dozen of those complaints that it'd take me 2 lifetimes of going back for forth with a GP to have them all addressed one at a time.

Another one that'll hit hard here, Tommy "Tiny" Lister AKA Zeus has passed away.

I'm not saying he's a nonce, I'm definitely not saying that, but you know that horribly uncomfortable gut feeling that people like Saville give you?

Normally I'd get excited by something like that, but it's hard to get invested in what almost always boils down to "Bored artist or Marketing campaign?", and neither get me that excited. If it's not aliens (which it isn't) then who gives a fuck?
For me it's all about "Was Ted Turner responsible for the Georgia Guidestones?"

The new sofa's faulty and needs to be sent back. I found this out after already getting it up a flight of stairs. They'll come and collect it before Xmas, but they can't deliver a replacement until after, and the old sofa's already gone to the tip.
All minor problems, all sortable, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered just setting everything on fire as a potential solution.

I got to see The Boss live for my 30th and took my old Mum, and it was just a magical night. As soon as he came on stage my Mum lit up in a way I've never seen, she was so giddy and excited, every song seemed to take her back somewhere, it was like I got to spend the evening with her as a teenager (but not in a creepy Back To The Future way).
Anyway, it's not one of his best, but as a broken down failed wrestler I have a soft spot for this for obvious reasons. It helps convince me I was part of a noble, working class sport, rather than a bunch of nerds laarping their favourite kids show.

I've seen a lot of vids comparing the RP2 against the RG350, and it seems like there's not a huge amount in it (RP has better screen & more power, RG has nicer case & joysticks), but I'm assuming this new model will just edge it out, especially once the metal version gets released.

That's why in my headcannon Tony Stark, who references The Big Lebowski in Endgame, has run jokes about Obadiah Stane looking like The Dude into the ground so much that it's not worth saying on camera.
New wrestling figures!

If they're anything like other BAF pieces people will be casting resin copies to sell on ebay, so you're gonna want to check if you're buying an authentic or a bootleg paul ellering groin.
