So- we don't know how many people are being tested, or even what actually constitutes a test as it could simply be mailing out a kit. Pillar 2 test results are publicly reported daily for Scotland, Wales, NI and the UK as a whole, but not for England, and English local authorities may not be aware of cases in their own area. The test and trace system is completely fucking useless and the contact app has had to be scrapped at great expense, even though a free open source one was available form Germany. Great.

Depends what you want- Bioshock is pretty much single player only with good to great storylines. Borderlands is much more multiplayer/ co-op focused- it's first person sci-fi Diablo essentially- you can play it single player, but it's a bit boring to do so. Neither are particularly great at the shooting side of things, they're not a patch on something like Doom 2016 for example, but make up for it in other areas. Personally, I much preferred Bioshock as I'm not really a fan of co-op games and the first game has some amazing set pieces like Fort Frolic and the classic opening scene. As for accessibility, both are pretty simple to get into, you won't have a problem with either.

We should arrange to have Trump shot, see if he undergoes a similar conversion.

OK cheers- I never use sleep mode either, it's pretty shit. I've disabled those settings so fingers crossed that's it fixed for good. Anyone else looking for it- open up device manager (Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc) and expand the network adapters section, then double click on the adapter name and the settings are under the Advanced tab- Edit- under the Power Management tab, it might be worth unchecking the 'allow the computer turn off this device' option too.

Ooh, now that's interesting. I've been having problems with mine for a while now, wifi would regularly drop for 30 seconds or so probably once or twice an hour. Eventually I ended up getting home plugs and connecting it directly- that improved things, but I still get the odd cut out maybe 2-3 times a day. I'll try disabling those settings and see how I get on. Was the fix as a result of trial and error, or did you find a link somewhere? Presumably the settings cause the adaptor to go to 'sleep' at some point?

Downhill from there, sadly. Plus most of the rest of the film...

I had that in '77. People need to man up. etc

The best bit of a bad series-

Aye- I think at this point though, with so many Tories being parachuted into the BBC, getting rid of the licence fee would be welcomed by them.

Yeah, 40-odd years of anti-Liverpool propaganda supported and even instigated by governments is hard to counter. I've lived or worked in a number of large cities and really, unless you go specifically looking for trouble, they're not these Wild West Helmand province type wastelands that the likes of the Mail tries to make them out to be.

I just asked my sister about that- she lives in Coventry. Supposedly, the two black guys had been threatening people with knives and were chased and cornered, with a bit of a mob forming. They were arrested to get them out the way as the police didn't have enough backup available. Knives may or may not have been found in the bins following the arrest. That's the trouble with Twitter, there's usually no context to anything, it's really dangerous.

I said I wouldn't cry again...

Yeah, I find it very difficult to listen to You're so Vain, some Elton John songs- especially Tonight off the Blue Moves album- and bizarrely the Dougal and the Blue Cat soundtrack as they evoke such strong memories and emotions of my Mum playing them when I was a kid.

Spooky, I was just thinking the same. My early years soundtrack was mainly Carly, Carole King, James Taylor, Elton John and Gilbert O'Sullivan.

I need my rep limit increasing due to this thread and Thursday night...

Craig Charles just opened his Radio 6 Funk and Soul Show with YNWA. He followed it with Get Down With It by Little Richard, never had such a pleasant 10 minutes cleaning up the kitchen after tea.

He was the first that came to mind before I opened the thread.

Grr, I've been waiting for this compilation and now I'm annoyed because of the shit effects they've put on it. Just show the goals ffs and keep the office temp away from After Effects Pro-

Maybe the email gets flagged due to Cath's massive money-laundering operation.

Christ, I hope this isn't us next month- https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/26/arizona-joins-texas-halting-reopening-amid-surge-covid-coronavirus-cases

Good God, why have I never seen this film- The Hot Spot with Don Johnson and Virginia Madsen is another cracker.

I had that too, it seems to occur if you paste directly into the text box. It worked OK when I typed the email address out though.

Mr Tourette, hopefully-

I would have said slim pickings, but that's not really the right adjective.
