It's quite cheap on Steam at the moment so grabbed it the other day. But can't play it at the moment as my old joypad has got horrendous stickdrift so struggling with pretty much everything

RE: [VIDEO] Knox goes away

By the trailer I thought it was going to go a different way

SPOILER:
I initially thought Marsden was exploiting Keaton's condition, and wasn't related to him at all, just using him to get rid of a body

But I was happy to be wrong on this occasion. Was getting mightily confused when Knox started 'planting the evidence,' and the betrayal almost broke my heart. Well worth a watch for performances alone.

RE: [VIDEO] Fallout (Amazon / 2024)

If there's one thing that'll make me stop watching a series, it's stupid characters. And Maximus is a frelling moron.

But I still want to see what happens with Coop & Lucy, so I'll give him a bye, for now

RE: [VIDEO] Fallout (Amazon / 2024)

Anything with Walton is immediately elevated IMHO. I caught the first episode last night and it's a thumbs up so far

RE: 3 Body Problem

Nope. Didn't hate it (from performances alone) but won't be wasting any more of my attention on this. Trailer promised too much and the series didn't deliver. Almost gave up about episode 6/7 when the physics started to collapse in on itself.

Also, Keiko O'Brien. Who'd'a thunk?

I kept seeing that clip of the old guy buying strawberries with cash in a shop that can't take cash and decided to look into it. Didn't realise until now it was Jeremy Corbyn's brother

RE: [VIDEO] Best April Fool`s gags?

So, here's the story behind that

RE: [VIDEO] Best April Fool`s gags?

I wish. It was a favour to a friend so got some beer vouchers. In all honesty I did it for the experience more than anything. But of course, if anyone's looking for a tubby bloke to open a door, looking confused with bed hair, I now have an extensive résumé

RE: [VIDEO] Best April Fool`s gags?

I'm a little late to this one as I've up in that London with the boys all day and now my feet hate me

BUT. A couple of weeks ago I did something I'm going to go into in more depth this week, but this was the result. (This was filmed at 2 in the afternoon, the hair & wardrobe are there for effect)

(honest)

RE: [VIDEO] Ghostbusters 2024

Completely wrong about the big bad. It was much more predictable and mundane than I was hoping for.

Spoiler: Acaster doesn't suck.

RE: 3 Body Problem

3 things:

1. If I hadn't seen the trailer I would have given up after half an hour. A slow build is one thing, but this was wading through treacle.

2. Benedict Wong speaking with his native accent is weird.

3. But not as weird as hearing Keiko from TNG/DS9 swapping hers.

A.K.A. Callback - the movie

Oh, the unbridled joy that only comes from stitches in your nostrils

So Last Thursday I had a septoplasty procedure, which I mentioned I was having last year (video below). Had a good friend drop me off, as I'm back in the town it wasn't that far to the WHH (William Harvey). Check in at 12 for a day surgery. Now, bearing in mind I'm now 50, and have never undergone any medical procedure that involved being rendered unconscious (not counting having a couple of teeth out when I was a teenager), so really wan't aware of what to expect. Certainly wasn't expecting having my arse hanging out of a velcro surgical gown that was 2 sizes too small and detatched at the shoulders any time I flexed my manly arms in any way

Luckily I was advised to bring a robe, which saved my blushes. 2 and a half hours, and 3 rounds of being asked the same set of questions by 3 different people later, I was laid on a bed being chatted up by the very pretty anesthesiologist, who I'm pretty sure I had a chance with until she knocked me out, the cow. Funny thing, she jabbed me in the hand, squirted some stuff into the canula, and told me to tell her when I started to feel the effects.

Nope, not a thing, felt completely fin- so I woke up 55 minutes later and quite surprisingly became very aware of where I was, who I was, and why I had a tampon under my nose.



So dosed up on paracetomol & ibuprofen & signed off for 2 weeks. Spent another 2 hours getting my head back in the game and just trying to chill out for the last week doing bugger all. It's a chore, I know.

The only ittitation I have now is the aforementioned stitches. They're dissolvable, and they're right at the botton, in the middle, both sides of the bottom edge of the cartiledge, which is the bit they mucked around with. No picking, blowing or sneezing. Should be a doddle.

If there's one positive thing about the Rona vaxx being part of a huge conspiracy to keep track of us all wherever we are - we're now all Bluetooth compatible. Cool

RE: [VIDEO] Ghostbusters 2024

Final trailer (until the next one, not counting the 25+ TV spots)

Very interesting at 51 seconds. Might have changed my mind about the big bad

[VIDEO] RE:Ghostbusters 2024

japanese trailer. Happily still not giving everything away

RE: Putin completely innocent of poisoning another opponent

Must have been some slow-acting poison.

It's going to be pretty tricky to perform an independent autopsy after they 'accidentally' cremate him

I'll put a fiver on it.

I looked into it slightly when I heard yesterday, and wasn't really surprised to hear that as early as the middle of last year the gutter rags were already speculating about how long Charles would be on the throne, and what would happen if he abdicates. Jolly buggers, aren't they?

RE: I thought car insurance was supposed to be cheaper this year?

Hastings wanted to add £12 on per month because reasons. Might be something to do with me moving to a house closer to the town centre, but switched to a different company and only paying an extra £4 a month now.

But then a week after the car passes its MOT the exhaust snaps. Yippee indeed.

The King has cancer

I dunno, you wait decades for a coronation to come along...

But seriously (folks), I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but the outlook is better than most, as Prostate cancer is normally the slowest of the bunch with the better prognosis. As others have mentioned after their own diagnoses, their doctors have reassured them that something else is more likely to do them in before the cancer does.
