You should jump back into NMS for a go as it has improved massively and they keep adding more free content. It’s great in VR too if you have a headset. Elite Dangerous is good too but way more challenging and technical so it depends what you’re after.

Why is the basic one not worth it? It allows me to gain XP to get the tokens so I can progress through the levels and get the rewards. What else is there? Genuine question by the way, I’m wondering what I’m missing? £99 for a battle pass, deluxe or not, is utterly mental.

I’m confused at people saying the battle pass is £99. Where are you seeing that? I think I paid about £8.79 to get enough COD points to buy the basic battle pass. I did but MW2 mind you, is that why? Surely to f**k it’s not almost £100 for a battle pass? That can’t be right. You can buy the special edition for £99 which comes with the battle pass I would assume but that’s the game you’re buying as well.

Spends the past week and a half packing and preparing for her holiday today. Yet, somehow, is still charging around in a panic this morning, rummaging under the bed and making a racket looking for something while I’m trying to have a lie in. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? After a week and a fucking half of watching her flap around “preparing” she STILL isn’t ready to go on the day?

For X-Com fans have a look at Phoenix Point which has the Behemoth Edition on sale on the PS Store now. Same folk who made X-Com I believe. Well worth a look. [emoji106]

Thor confirmed. That’s clearly Hawkeye sitting to his right.

It was her turn. End of IMO. Her giving you attitude was her doubling down on her arsehole behaviour to ensure you don’t pull her up. She knows fine well she was at it. If the situation were reversed would she get up or would she say “f**k off, it’s you turn”? There’s your answer.

I use Sofa Score and it’s always been pretty good.

Happens almost everywhere I imagine. In my experience there is absolutely hee haw you can do about it. In fact kicking up a stink about it will almost guarantee you don’t get any subsequent promotions that come up. The workplace/world is not a meritocracy.

Once again I'll wait a couple of months and pick the game up for buttons after it's been properly patched. The days of me buying PES on release day are long gone. It's always a complete mess on day one and there are no decent option files available for a wee while either.

An issue I've noticed is I have 117.5 points but when I go to "leagues" my overall points is 99.5? It also says I'm 273rd place in the league when in fact I am in 61st place when I click into the league itself. No complaints here as it's early days for the app. Just wanted to let the person who is working on it know.

Young lady at work today: Her: "I seen two swans down the park the other day, well they were ducks but ducks turn into swans don't they?" Me: "That's The Ugly Duckling you're thinking of." Her: "So what are baby swans called then?" Me: "Cygnets." Her: *gives me a look where she thinks I must be taking the piss then turns away* I'm fairly certain she still believes that ducks turn into swans.

You got me. I didn't even watch it really, I just love Gerrard and Rangers so much that I trawl football forums promoting his documentary. Even though the documentary doesn't actually feature any of his involvement with Rangers. Not sure why having semen in your eyes is your go-to insult, maybe you should have a wee think about your life choices. You might be a happier and more rounded individual if you just be who you really want to be.

I would argue that some journalists deliberately omit certain details all the time in order to spin a story the way they want it to go. This is what I meant when I suggested it could be considered "good" journalism, even though it's not the textbook definition of it. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story and all that.

His lack of remorse and his apparent complete lack of context or understanding of why the fans are giving him such grief is what painted him as a bit daft to me. You're right, a lot of what he said could have been cut out for all we know. Which, from a journalists point of view, is probably considered good journalism but from a readers point of view it's bad journalism as it's not giving us the full picture. His story of getting his life together after getting into bother and the fact he's warning others against going down that path was a good read though.

I also thought it was a bit stupid of him to whine about fans shouting about his career ending because that's how he supports his family right after he's put a, potentially, career ending tackle into a fellow professional. Not for the first time either. Players like him who revel in their "hardman" status on the pitch then moan in the media about how the big bad fans shout abuse at them are pathetic. Other than that it was a decent piece.

I was also wondering about this.......

Anyone seen the Gerrard documentary on Amazon Prime? Absolutely brilliant film, really gives an insight into the pressures of top level football that players experience at a very young age and the mental strength you need to succeed at that level. Well worth a watch.

It was absolutely horrific. A disgrace to the Road Rash name. I thought it would be almost impossible to make a mess of a Road Rash remake but those idiots managed it and then some.

I've been keeping tabs on it (big fan of previous Fallout games) and from what I've read it's getting worse rather than better. Read an article today in which the author said he doesn't believe the game can be fixed. Patches to combat various exploits people were taking advantage of have not only punished the cheats but also the players who levelled up fair and square. I was going to wait and get this game on the cheap just because it's Fallout but now I'm thinking I'm never going to buy it. Just seems like a hot mess from start to finish. The whole thing sounds like a failed concept IMO.

Tell her your new nickname should be Johnny Two Times then tell her to f**k off. Twice.

Just my opinion of course, every workplace is different and has different dynamics. I would say, in general, that a new boss turning up to a night out for someone they barely know while they're off on annual leave could be considered a bit of a "try-hard" or possibly even only there to check up on how folk behave on work's nights out when they have a few bevvies in them. Especially if you're not drinking. Offices are weird places full of weird people. You can't judge them using normal standards. Just wait for the next night out and go and get steaming with them. Sorted. Bonding via alcohol is almost always the way forward.

Turning up to a work's night out when you're on annual leave is OFTW behaviour if you ask me. If you weren't on annual leave I would say go, buy a round and then bugger off sharpish with an excuse about having to pick someone up or whatever. As you are currently on annual leave, I would say don't bother going.
