I think England have been the better team over the series as a whole, but they're going to lose the series. The first 2 tests could have gone either way. England won the third rightly and would have won the 4th, but for the rain. I think England had a good chance of winning today also if the rain had held off. Oh well, its great to watch and hope they stick with Bazball.

I do a bit of casual gaming, but my laptop (HP omen with GTX 1050) is kind of giving up the ghost. Didn't want to spend loads and don't need massive speed and have just "won" an auction for a Ryzen 5 3600 with RX 5700, 32gb RAM and MSI B450 motherboard for £300. Seems like quite a good deal. Says its an NZXT H410 case, but I can only find reference to a H510?

Anyway, just want something that will play Star Wars Outlaws decently at 1080p when it comes out.

So, i've got a parcel awaiting payment of customs charges at the local parcelforce depot.

Online it says i can pay at the depot to release the parcel for delivery, but can I pay the customs charge at the depot and pick it up at the same time? The website doesn't help, I rang customer services, but got bored waiting in the queue.

I would normally jump at that, but we're got a kids party/picnic to go to.

I once went out to observe a callout for a Whirlpool technician to look at someone's washing machine. The chap had it in the bathroom, he had cut off the plug and spliced it into the mains, had literally just twisted the wires together and covered it in electrical tape. Needless to say the whirlpool tech refused to touch it and advised him to fit it somewhere correctly.

Indeed.

He was even on there when he did not represent any party.

Here's my DB 01 Durga, built up earlier this year with a Super Stock BZ.
Also have a DF03 and a BB01 on the way from Tamico (been stuck in the UK delivery centre for a week).

Only got into this last year after not being able to afford one as a kid.

I went to school with MC Lowqui who's quite big on the Jungle circuit, still making a living from it touring round the UK and Europe. He works a lot with Goldie and the Metalheadz.

Recently got into Tamiya RC cars with a DF03 Avante Mk2 and a DB01 Durga.Here's my durga

I can barely play, but I have a Les Paul Custom-alike, that was handbuilt by a lovely chap on Twitter who then gave it to me for free when I said my rather lovely Thinline Telecaster was stolen (by my Estate Agent, who then left the country). I have Laney 15w valve amp for practicing and that's about it!

who then put it in a bag, only to tie it to a tree or chuck on a fence.

I personally hate the idea of dressing pets up. It annoys me and wouldn't do it myself.
I'm don't people breeding their own dogs/cats.
I dislike the purebreeding crowd, especially those who breed debilitating features in to their dogs (e.g. sloping backs, snub noses etc).
Feeding the odd scrap is not too bad, but a whole diet of just "human" food is not great.

I'm married to a vet and don't eat meat.

I just want the "media" to just stop giving him the oxygen of publicity. I really don't give a shit about private banking travails. He's all over every outlet, gets on Newsnight constantly and has his own sodding TV show.

We have so much bigger things to worry about that the tedious goings on of a man who has failed to become an MP 6 times, one time losing to a man who was dressed as a dolphin. He's pretty much an irrelevance.

We're in the biggest cost of living crisis for 70 years, the biggest tax burden since WW2, the government doesn't govern as its only interested in stoking culture wars and division to misdirect people from their major inadequacies and the opposition are afraid of their own shadows.

On top of that, the whole of the media seem to be afraid of just saying that Brexit is shit, everyone was lied to and we're all out of pocket because of it.

This is what i'm using currently, Thule Coaster XT with my old MTB to occasionally transport a 2yr old and a 4yr old. Bought it online form Germany for about £250 new, at least £100 less than UK prices. It's also being used as our main double buggy/thing transported when out and about.

It'll be back when its spent some time in the jungle.

The planetx looks a massive bargain compared to everything else on your list!

Is that an illegal bar they set up in the basement during lockdown?
