Surprisingly good - a bit deeper than I thought it would be (which was disappointing at first as I wanted guns and sh1t). Amazing sound track too.

Carry on.

Football trials for kids limited by heritage
at 14:25 27 Jun 2024

Anyone ever heard of a pro club offering trails only to kids of 'Eastern European Heritage'?

My kids playing for a Romanian-run club and they sent this note out to parents - wonderring if the above is normal / legal or whether to kick off.

I didn't get him involved in youth footy for the sake of trails and it's unlikely he'd be of interest to them with him being half-blind, but this has pissed me off all the same.

This morning I've spent 1.5 hours on there and have witnessed a castrated man milk themselves and a fella possibly beaten to death. I need to wash my mind out, but will probably head back for more fairly soon. Stop the world.

Pretty daunting stuff - there are clearly many kids facing big problems. I hope they get help, but also hope that we learn from this for the next pandemic.

Question for gamers re xbox series x vs gaming PC
at 16:16 4 Jun 2024

Is there any point in getting a refurbished gaming PC for the same money as an new xbox X?

My boy is obsessed by improving FPS and I gather gaming PCs can go well over 60 FPS, but can a gaming PC which costs £400-£500 do that?

Appalling to see this happen in our borough and condemn without reservation.

Any candidate worth voting for should want to win by the power of our ideas and clarity of organisation, not through feeding off the culture of intimidation and division being stoked in our nation. https://t.co/PuKChIKl8v

Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005.

This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north pic.twitter.com/SbxKrG8IPk

I really didn't want to bring them into it, but the school would do nothing without reporting a crime.

Their parents had no idea what they were up to.

How thick does it need to be to cover an embossed wallpaper? Is 2000gms enough? Or do I have to get specialist stuff / re-plaster?

Sorry to ask - been googling but can't see any advice anywhere.

No one should be buying these flats until this is sorted - the house-building / running industry stinks.
