You need to up to caffeine in your coffee shop! Get those customers buzzing!

I loved Theme Park. We would spend ages playing it. We had few games back then and Theme Park and Piranha were staples.

The rollercoaster was so buggy though and eventually made the map unplayable. I played it a few years ago on DOSbox with the same issue :( even the DS port glitched a lot.

Same! I still have the certificate!

(Although I would have got 129 if my sister, who couldn't spell, kept insisting that "than" is spelt "then" and wouldn't stop bugging me throughout the whole test until I changed it, even though I knew she was wrong. Yes I am still bitter about it today.)

I lack real world intelligence, so bog all use that test was.

The important thing is to know where you stand on the issue of conserves vs jam. If you prefer conserves, then you can call yourself conservative. If you prefer jams, then you're better identifying as a jammy dodger.

If you like them both more or less equally then you're a doughnut hole.

From their post history, I'm assuming they're just having a laugh.

Daily reminder that the only reason this hypocrite even has citizenship is because her rich parents came here from Nigeria just for her mother to give birth in a private hospital, then bogged off back to Nigeria with her when she was still a baby.

After seeing this post, I was wondering what this was all about, spent a couple of minutes looking it up, only to get a PM from her.

Have you guys turned this into a summoning ritual?!

Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth

Wow, this all sounds so familiar to me as a Brit. This is the exact crap that diehard Brexiteers peddle, even as their food gets more expensive and they have to wait in the non EU queue in the airport. It hurts Johnny Foreigner, doesn't it? So it's worth it. Brexit is only bad because we didn't Brexit hard enough!

Well, Cruise does like jumping on couches...

Some people can't be happy unless they're constantly angry about the people they were told to hate.

We call them gammons over here.

A good budget helmet cam? (self.casual_cycle_uk)
 

Any recommendations? I don't know if I want to splash out on something expensive. I was thinking of getting some cheap tat to act more as a deterrent, but then I thought, what if I actually need the footage? My commute is pretty short, but the amount of drivers who are happy to risk my life to shave 5 seconds off their journey is a problem.

Would any £5 cheapo camera make drivers think twice before trying to run me into the kerb or am I better off getting a decent quality camera? I'm cool with refurb/second hand.

 

It seems like it might be official, but it's hard to say. The video uploads are the same 360p, so maybe it's just another fan channel.

It does have most of the episodes, as well as many songs!

 

I have a friend who's really into them, so I thought it would be a nice surprise if I could learn one of their songs for him. I'm just not familiar with their catalogue, so does anyone have any suggestions for where to start? My level is "advanced noob" :)

Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don't have any experience of this, so I'd appreciate any tips from those who have been there already.

Edit 02/10: he's still clean!

Wow, the difference in quality between the Squier and the Donner is incredible. It just feels so much smoother to play, I don't get the rattle and it just sounds and feels better overall. I'm confused by the reviews comparing the Donner to a p-bass. There's no comparison. I'm so glad I finally got my hands on my mini! It looks like a doll's toy next to the standard scale though!

Oh and added bonus, the tone dial actually does something.

I'm still having trouble offloading my Donner. I can't even trade it in.

And there's still this much battery left. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I wasn't expecting it to still have any power left at all. I suppose with the sim out, all it was doing was powering the clock, but still! Unfortunately, I've had to retire it as my network won't connect on it anymore.
