They've closed the pubs here til the end of March at least, which is good. They reckon it'll cost 16,000 jobs though. They can thank these cunts in Temple Bar last night for it.

 

I am fairly sure that I saw that video doing the rounds weeks ago. I can't say anything though myself and friends put this on the jukebox yesterday afternoon in the pub.

This is a picture taken from one of the local arcades.

Put in an Amazon Prime Now order. Normally 2 hours, but the next slot for us is Monday morning.

That's why I'm having to do a food run for my mate who is quarantined. He normally puts in an order from Asda on a Saturday or Sunday for Monday evening. He can't get anything delivered until Wednesday.

I found out that one of my friends and his wife have been told to self quarantine after contacting 111. He contacted me this afternoon asking to do a food shop for him tomorrow, but I need to get his card for the cash and carry off him first. I'm not saying that he isn't taking it seriously, but his shopping list does include a one and a half litre bottle of Jack Daniels.

I smashed through a tin of these from lidl earlier.

They are surprisingly spicy with a fairly strong level of heat and I'm saying this as someone who gets annoyed with stuff marked as spicy or hot that ends up being very weak.

This song is for everyone self quarantining

I may sound a little heartless, but this pandemic mostly effects the older generations and they're one who voted for Brexit and the Tories so fuck 'em.

Are we talking original Sugababes, Sugababes: The Next Generation or Sugababes: The New class. Or just The Sugababes as an entire entity?

Have you considered Keyforge? It's a Richard Garfield game as well, but instead of building decks, each deck you buy is unique, potentially making the buy in much smaller. Unless you buy a fuck load of decks.

I have played Keyforge, my biggest problem with the game is there isn't much in the way of interaction between the players. All you're doing is sitting there trying to put a kind of machine together, without being able to interrupt your opponent's attempt to put together his machine. Also some of the decks are just dogshit and don't really work. So you end up spending 9 quid for something that's useless.

It's bow tie. Just like the neckwear worn by Daniel Craig when he portrays Bond better than anyone. 

Also if you're mentioning Bond, then the bow ties being worn by Psychopaths and sex pest still holds true.

God help me, but I've gotten back into playing Magic: The Gathering. Something I haven't touched since I was 17, but mostly by playing online on MTG Arena. I may have drunkenly ordered a box of cards.

I think the only way you could be more wrong than eating bowtie pasta would be if you just eat whole sheets of lasagne dipped in sauce. Actually, I think I might still prefer that.

Bow tie past much like actual bow ties are the domain of sex pests and psychopaths.

I think we can all agree that anyone who votes for bow ties is a nonce.

Rigatoni is the best shape.

One of my friends tagged me n this. I'd be offended iff it wasn't so accurate.

This video popped up randomly on my recommended videos, but it's actually a really good cover.

@DEF If you want fun light gun games for the Wii then you need to pick up House Of The Dead: Overkill. The grindhouse aesthetic wwth it's OTT violence and plot is great fun.I wouldn't play it with your daughter though since it is very sweary.

@mim731 I just looked online and the bags are the same size for £1.50, so I will have to try and pick some up.

Because someone mentioned the whole my dad is bigger than your dad thing in the Wilder thread.

Remember those BASIC cheat listing in the old game magazines where you'd ostensibly be reprogramming the game before it loaded? There used to be loads in ZZAP and Commodore Format. 

I still remember reading the peeks and pokes pages in Crash and ZZAP, magazines.

Though if we're talking about the best way to get cheat codes it would have to be The Games Mistress on Sky's Games World.

D,U,L,L,A,R,D unlocks the cheat codes for Mortal kombat 2 on the SNES.

Just what I need. 

 

I've had a letter of prosecution for doing 41mph in a 30mph zone. I have a clean license but I did do a speed awareness course about 10 years ago (setting myself up for ridicule but it was the same spot I've been caught this time) 

 

Will they offer me another course or am I gonna get fucked with a big fine? I've read something about 100% of a weekly wage fine. 

Any ideas. 

 

 

It's more  than 5 years so you can do the course again. Otherwise it's a 60-100 fine depending your local constabulary's whim. Though the general rule is less than 10mph, 60 notes, More than 10 it's 80 quid More than 15 over you'll get the full whack. If you don't respond within 30 working days it goes to court and they charge you a load of court fees.

Yeah I've still got an old copy of Talisman laying here barely played, it's why I never stumped up the cash for the Dark Souls game and bought the cheaper Bloodborne card game instead.

Dark Souls is a great game, with many of the models being a  single piece or minimal building. The fact that you can play it single player is quite attractive, but when it is a group of 4 people strategizing together to beat Ormstein and Smough it gets to the next level.

Is anyone picking up this Judge Dredd game? It looks gorgeous.

 

I'm sorely tempted, but like most miniature games I will put the models together, undercoat them and never actually play the game.
