I’m gonna reply to myself here… but the local FB page is up in arms about all the fireworks… im loving sitting by the window with a coffee watching the fireworks and trolling/trawling.
You must live in my postcode as I can’t stand fireworks. £10-20 light it…run away…nothing…still nothing…stil…wizz…pop…oh
For known events (Guy Fawkes, NY Eve, Diwali), no issues, I will happily go “oooh, aaaah” with everyone else. It’s the ad-hoc, someone’s birthday, anniversary, whatever, at random times & no warning that hack me off - both for concerns about our pets (“lost” a cat for several days - saw her bolt from our garden when a display quality firework was let off 2 houses away), or if I’m going to bed early due to an early duty start the next day.
Also, considering some of the horrors of people being injured (stupid or malicious - fireworks being aimed at them or animals tortured with fireworks tied to them), I’d be very happy for a ban of sales other than for organised events.

Happy PlayStation day everyone!
My friends turned up from amazon in bits… Can’t say I didn’t chuckle cause he’s told they have no replacements and probably won’t get one until. Jan as the 2 next imports have already backfilled unfulfilled orders

Hearing the horror stories of cancelled pre-orders and some are going to be lucky to be fulfilled before christmas feel a little guilty I have one sat there for the wife’s birthday in a couple of weeks.
On the other hand this should put me majorly in credit in the brownie points department

I’m an Xbox fan since original Xbox but just don’t have the time anymore to justify the expense. I really don’t like Sony stuff at all but she does and the kids have a lot of PS4 stuff to carry over so it made more sense to go PS5 this time around.
Not that I have time often but the only game I really play on Xbox now is based on a game I played as a teenager on the BBC micro 
I always wait 6 months, the prices always come down and the quality goes up once the bugs have been worked out.

Never thought of it like that…
Like it even more now.
Battlestar Galactica is great. Not so great when you accuse your wife of being a cylinder and air locking her character, only for to find out you were the cylon.
I’ve heard loads of good things about wingspan.
