    I don't think we have European football thread, but fucking Hell.

    Smashing PSG 4-1 in the first home Champions League game in 20 years is unreal. Half of the starting 11 were here when we were in the Championship and 2 local boys scored, couldn't be happier.

    I'm the last week(ish) we've won 8-0, knocked City out of the cup (playing a weakened side) and stuffed PSG. Good times on Tyneside.

    Aye absolutely unreal in that stadium tonight! Especially buzzing for Lascelles. He was the one that took control of the locker room when we hit rock bottom, from Burton Albion in the Championship to pocketing Mbappe in the Champions League!

    Got to share tonight with my young'un, something I'll treasure for sure!

    Did Sid even wrestle a match in ECW? Or was it just powerbombing blokes and looking boss?

    He had a couple of squash wins against Kronus and Skull von Crush. Tagged with Spike Dudley to beat the Dudleys and then powerbombed Spike too because why not? Then a couple no contests with Justin Credible and Rod Price. But the rest of the time it was just 911-esque run ins on behalf of Judge Jeff Jones.

  3. ShowFilmFirst had tickets going for free, requiring just the "booking fee" for last night.

    Not seen much on offer for tonight in Newcastle, but managed to get two seated for a tenner each on Twitter so I can take my son for his first gig tonight.

    Did Punk actually get asked a question about Colt? The feed I saw just started with Punk asking the guy if he was mates with him, having that question absolutely fail to set him up and then go off an one regardless.

    All of this stemmed from the first question being "When you did improv, who'd you do improv with?". Amazing what can of worms that opened.

  5. Bugger, not a clue who he lost it too.

    Beat Rob Conway for it and at a guess, lost it to Kojima.

    Pretty sure him and Kojima had a title match and that Kojima is a former champion too, just not certain of the outcome there.

  6. Could have sworn air_raid had nailed it with his guess, only other name I can pluck out would be Miz instead of Ziggler perhaps?

    Goes to show though how forgettable some of those rumbles were. I tried to challenge myself to remember who won them. Outside of Cena in 2013 and I think Batista 2014 when everyone hated Rey for not being Bryan, I can't think of the rest. One of those years was the 40 man rumble I believe, but I only remember the legendary return of forum favourite Big Daddy Cool, Diesel in that one.

    We will all remember where we were the first time we saw that. Amazing!

    Aye, on the shitter (in the correct position, not the Justice Supreme) and having to explain to Mrs. FP why I was in fits of laughter whilst seemingly just curling one out.

    Outstanding work and it locks up post of the year immediately.

    I use the corona lighting system. It’s probably the best one out there. Although one of the magnets has fallen out twice and I’ve had to superglue it back in. But it’s the one we also use for our pub team and a few other teams use it too. 

    Big thanks again for the recommendation. Finally got it up and running. Absolutely cracking light! 

     

    Ordered a second one for the shed board too when the Mrs inevitably, but kindly, asks me to bugger off from the dining room board.spacer.png

    Spilled water on my ancient (but still working perfectly) asus win 8.1 laptop and whole lefthand side of the keyboard is fecked. I bought a cheap bluetooth board & mouse that work grand, but I can't disable the actual keyboard on laptop itself. which is annoying as I'd like to just lie new board on top of it without it mashing the buttons that are still in service. When I look in device manager to uninstall it, its not listed at all.  Tried updating drivers etc, but still no joy.

    I only use this laptop for torrenting & old saves of FM 07 (which apparently doesn't work/fiddly on newer windows versions) so not arsed replacing the damaged board, just want rid of its functions!

    Installing a third party device manager should show the keyboard and thus allow you to disable it. Sometimes on 8.1 the default device manager can be a bit of a pain. Not sure if it's still going but DevManView was one I used to use on my 8.1 to take control and sort drivers out for my devices.

    Edit: Infact, looks like it still is going here.

  10. Yeah, it's been Red Dragon for myself too, though for sure the quality has took a nosedive the past year or so. Took some Winmau Prism flights from the wife and they seem to have a little more life than the RD sets but still nothing outstanding. Will add some of Target's flights on the 8 Flight order as getting them from Target's site anyway. Quite like the idea of the spin shafts from 8, clever idea for sure if it helps reduce any bounceouts or damage when grouped tightly.

  11. Anyone here used the 8 Flight moulded flight system before? If so, how were they for you? Debating getting a set but unsure if the weight difference in them will be dramatic and alter the balance of my throw. Going through tons of flights lately whenever the darts are grouped and they are just getting torn to shreds.

    If I wanted to now up the spec to play some newer stuff how much effort is it to switch out the parts, specifically ram & graphics cards? Guides I've read suggest it's a simple job and is just plug & play or screwdriver only, is that correct or am I going to need to get my soldering iron out? 

    As the others have said, very easy. Only one that really needs extra care is a processor change as you need to be pinpoint with that as not to damage any pins. Also, be sure any future processor is suitable for the socket on your motherboard.

    What set-up did you plump for? Did my first proper build from scratch back in February, it is the absolute bollocks. Spoilered to avoid a massive post for folk.

    Spoiler

    ASUS ROG Strix x570-F Motherboard
    Ryzen 9 5900X CPU
    Did have RTX 3070 but then found the RTX 3080Ti (staggeringly at RRP so got very lucky there)
    32GB Corsair Vengeance 3600Mhz RAM (2x16GB but adding another 2 sticks after new year)
    500GB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 drive as my boot drive/main programs
    1TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 for my main games and for recording storage (7000MB/R, 5000MB/W - Those drives are monsters)
    4TB Seagate Barracuda HDD for any other storage and as an archive for past Premiere/Photoshop/Cinema 4D projects
    Corsair 1000w RMx power supply (absolute overkill for what it is right now, but means I'll never really have to worry about replacing or running close to the limit with it)
    Corsair H115i Pro XT cooler
    All in a rather large Fractal Define 7 case, went for the blacked out version as not a fan of all the RGB stuff. Absolutely silent machine.

    What steps did you take to acheive this, if you don't mind my asking?

    Getting a personal trainer was the big change for me, former Samoan international rugby player working out of a private gym, so there was no way I was getting away with half arsing it around him! Not the cheapest at £360 for 8 sessions (also another factor in me not half arsing as I'm a tight fucker. It still hurts seeing that money leave the account...), but it has absolutely paid off seeing him once a week over the past 6 months. He completely overhauled any old diet plans I'd tried and gave me full workout plans to do when I'm at my other gym or at home.

    Cheers for the recommendation. It's available at the Argos up my road so I think that's the rest of my day sorted! 

  15. I was losing the hair game, clinging on to what looked like Shearer island from back in the day. Finally got the razor out and skinned the lot. Thought I was gonna end up regretting it but ironically it's growing on me, which evidently the hair wasn't. 

    Also celebrating hitting 17st after being 21st 6 months ago. Once a couple more stone come off, the obligatory UKFF vest pic will have to be done!
