Was up at 4am the other day and noticed a bunch of youngins playing on the communal lawns next door. Maybe six of them and two Mums as well as an older sibling keeping its distance. Was lovely to watch them hooning about, rolling down the grassy slope and pronking about after each other without a care in the world.

We have a single young one who sleeps in our neighbour's garden but have never seen so many all gamboling about.

Decided not to mention it to the dog.

This particular neighbour once invited the other owners (4 maisonettes) to an election night dinner (possibly the last but one) and blithely assumed we were all also tories by virtue of the fact we live in a tory borough. I mean, I work in fin services regulatory advice so I get it for me but the lesbian couple who are both ex-social workers... seems like a leap. In any case, she has always been alarmingly out of touch and seemed to embrace a casual nastiness, not to mention treating the rest of us like employees when anything needed doing around the place. We generally tolerate her but she's stepped over the line with my wife (who has zero tolerance for b*llsh*t) a few times and been told her fortune, as my Dad would say.

I'd love to know what my rabidly Tory old neighbour makes of all this. That would mean I'd have to talk to her though and I really don't want to do that.

Playing Ghost of Tsushima on PC - is it me or is it just Far Cry with swords? Anyway, mildly diverting.

Fallout proggy had got me excited to play the FO4 next-gen update until I found out what a damp squib it looks to be.

Anyway, got bored of BG3 (or possibly overwhelmed) and went back to play Shogun 2 for the last few weeks. Great game.

Having been thoroughly acquainted with the 'Embankment Wall of Wind' over the years, on Monday I was accosted by it's chippy upstart City cousin. The 'London Bridge WoW' kinda sneaks up and punches just as you pass Adelaide House. Went from a decent lick to sideways to a crawl. Luckily it was deserted at lunchtime. Think its only a storm phenomenon though.

Lotta debris about this morning obviously as well as a few trees on the Waterlink - surprised it wasn't worse.

Its awesome.

Yup - The DLC is great and huge and I'm having a blast. Then again I've been playing since launch and having a blast so I'm not really objective. One of my favourite games of all time.

I watched this for the first time over a few nights. Really enjoyed the start and got gradually less interested as it went on.

I have a very ageing fly6 on the back (fly12 died a while back)- did try a chilli bullet cam but it didn't come close to picking up numberplates even in daylight. Loathe to ride without a rear at least but gotta find the cash for one. Anyone use the Techalogic or Akaso cams?

GP told me I needed a certain test the other day as, in her words, although I'm not quite a man of a certain age I will be next year.

Got absolutely dive bombed all the way home until the Waterlink Way after which they disappeared - presumably because they had all crashed into my face by then.

Mine (2017) took a long time to heal but it was plated straight away (seeing as it was in three bits with a floating piece in there). I explored having the plate removed a few years later but the consultant didn't think it would be either easy to do or worthwhile. It aches occasionally in wet weather and it doesn't like having my daughter lean on the plate but otherwise I don't really notice it. Good luck with all your healing everyone.

It is annoying - I played the main story through again just for the combat (which didn't take long) along with the perk that gives you harder enemies. I had no desire to repeat all the extras.

To be fair it makes the combat different but I wouldn't say it really improves the experience. There are still some force powers and the droid hacking bug (feature?) that are way overpowered.

FYI new game plus has a perk that makes your lightsabre much more deadly making it much more one hit (also making enemies much more dangerous).

Personally enjoyed the game but not terribly memorable.

Nomad, Corpo or Streetkid?

Makes zero difference in the long run from what I recall, after the first short section of the game. More of an aesthetic choice than a gameplay one.

Fogged up beard gang here. Impressive bank of it sitting over the river too.

As soon as I get off the greenway near New Beckenham on the way home the driving just turns to absolute sh*t (from an already low starting point). I presume it just gets worse the further out you go.

Maybe its having been away from traffic for so long but it really is just lots of angry loons. Even got beeped by the local MP in his massive saloon last week for reasons. Maybe thought I was a minority though, so understandable.

Well, the reversible decathlon cycling jacket I bought for a tenner a few years ago was finally not too warm to wear this morning.

If you want a small breed that will unfailingly want to play at the most inappropriate times and will want to say hello to everyone I can recommend a mini poodle...

I tried that too. Currently querying the image quality with them as the one I have won't even get a numberplate in broad daylight at low speed. Very different to the footage on their website.

48 in a few days and was riding fixed until a knee injury about 6 months back. Physion advice was to keep riding to help recovery.

I can now ride my geared bike without aggravating it but grinding up hills, even on some very easy gearing, fixed does it no good. Bike fit is dialled so not that as far as I'm aware. Probably pies though really.

Oh thats not the half of it, FiL has terminal cancer. Hoping they get the 3k back but banks are a-holes about fraud at the moment.

Been playing it since launch without serious issues but it is solid now. Some really great mods too.
