  • Man I’d love to be able to do that and give cats a good run-in for their twilight years but I don’t think I could - partly because one of the household is allergic to cats; but mainly I don’t think I could deal with the repeated emotional devastation of having to let them go at a much higher rate than a “normal” pet owner.

    Fair play to those that do. Pretty ballsy.



  • Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?

    It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!




  • I’ve got one and it’s cool… but that’s about it.

    It’s starting to chug now with modern apps (or legacy apps with new updates), the touchscreen is becoming increasingly unresponsive, that battery health is starting to go off a cliff… but all those factors can be levelled at any two or three year old phone.

    The hinge is the problem. My understanding is that Samsung has made a better design for the SGF 5 and 6, but i’m already on my second phone after the hinge caused the phone screen to bleed out from the centre, and I’m getting the crackle of doom from the hinge starting to sound already.

    If you’re desperate for a flip phone, then I’d advise you stay clear of the SGF3 and consider the Oppo Find N2 or the Nubia Flip.



  • I couldn’t tell you about that firm, always willing to try new beers mind!

    I know their headline grabbing antics are particularly bad, but having lived on their home patch for a wee while, they’re not particularly well regarded as local neighbours either.

    I know the following is absolutely subjective, but their beers are… alright? I wouldn’t say no to one but I’ve neither the stomach not the wallet to go on the piss purely on Brewdog beers. Their food is lovely too but you almost have to speak with your mortgage adviser first to see if it’s a bright idea.

    I can’t remember the last time I voluntarily went to Brewdog or bought a few of their tinnies either, outside of meeting there for a work’s do or going there because visitors wanted to.








  • I’ve been following this for years and I’m super stoked that it has a date… and it’s within a month!

    Annoyingly it clashes with my end-of-year studies, but maybe I’ll leave it for a few weeks. I picked up South of the Circle on day one and it had some bugs and glitches that took the shine off the experience, even though that was brilliant too.

    Harold Halibut and Still Wakes The Deep are top of my summer list this year.
