Lock-down frustration, what to watch on Netflix, what games to play, turbo training leagues

not following

Reminded of this image too. Not sure how long you'd last with the GameCube library, but still. Resident Evil and The Wind Waker. Could give it a shot.

Oh!! YES!!!

I thought you were referring to a forumenger that was on here who played The Division 2!!!

I was so confused.

Just binged The Great Pottery Throw Down on All4.

Same.

Tried to do bike work, bb is proprietary.

Just panic bought a refurbished Kickr from Wahoo. LBS told me yesterday they couldn't get hold of any at the moment as nothing is leaving the U.S. or the Netherlands.

Not sure where we're going to put it and due to my current suspected-coronavirus there's no way I'll be using it for a bit but I think it's going to make this whole pandemic thing a lot more bearable.

Never mind, we'll still be able to watch the Olympics at least.

Finally got round to ordering a speed sensor for my turbo. Anyone got a power meter they want rid of? :)

One good thing to come out of this crisis – they have cancelled the Eurovision Song Contest ! 

At least now we wont be locked in our houses and forced to watch and listen to shit

Anyone got a power meter they want rid of? :)

Got a classic sram P2m I’m not using

Ah I'm on Shimano - assuming that therefore doesn't work

Where can you see Peaky Blinders season 5? Ended 4 last night and that's yr lot for Netflix - jonesing already.

For anyone who might enjoy watching a small amount of anime if you haven't seen Golden Boy, watch it now. Eng dub is perfectly fine.
All 6 episodes on YouTube.

Edit:not a cycling anime but main character cycles!

I love the knock off brands on Yowapeda

Some relaxation stuff if anyone needs a break from entertainment being the only cover for their anxiety: https://medical.mit.edu/community/stress-reduction

Netflix to cut bitrate in Europe (possibly UK) soon, to cut strain on networks...

Noooo....

It's not even needed. There's enough capacity.

This evening me and a few buddies (four of us total - which might be the limit for it to work) arranged some drinks over a google hangout. I must say, it worked WAY better than I thought it would. A good couple of hours that flew by. Planning to make it a weekly landmark. Forget any concerns based on how shit and awkward work ones are. It helped that the audio quality was almost consistently perfect, but the chat did just seem to work. Give it a go.

We can always test the limits : forum online drinks?

M’up fer it.

Meant to be doing some virtual work drinks of maybe 30/40 people tomorrow. Will report back!

We did virtual pub on weds night instead of manchester weds night ride, great success

Have done a couple of 'virtual beers' now using the free options in Skype*, one as a group of four and one as a group of eight (I think it lets you go up to fifty?). Both worked seamlessly for c.2hrs in regards to audio and video across all of us, even with a mix of phones and laptops.

It's obviously not the same as being in the same room, but it's a far better compromise than you'd think and does feel like you've had a good catch-up and as you've said it just seemed to work - as and when we're finally on the other side of this I can see this sort of thing being more popular rather than loads of little WhatsApp one-liners etc.

• Also had a catch up with my brother and parents via WhatsApp video, which is limited to just four participants but again worked seamlessly.
