Bratty, why do you own a Nazi flag?


Is that a collection of nazi helmets in the background?

You're doing it wrong look at number 9

yes :(
Although I keep it in the fridge and as its a big bar not sure if that will work - will try it when I get home :D

Tried it last night - 1st attempt just broke off the tip, second attempt and it worked - so that will be my new way of breaking on up

Got two excellent mags, Starburst (sniggers) and Classic Rock's mammoth issue 200 with a rather good CD included.

Now if I can just get that Deathstroke figure I've been looking for cheap...

Bought a new flask as I was sick of having to unscrew the lid on the previous one every time I wanted a drink. This one has a push button opening, but as a result some of your drink then pops out when it's pressed. Probably still better than lining a lid up every time though...

The PS4 is pretty good so far. The controller should have been made years ago, even if it does have a useless trackpad, light, and 'sharing' buttons. I've only been playing demos though they look well. The disgrace that is patching a fifth of a game continues, to the extent that I didn't even play Wolfenstein last night the patch took so long. Though that's not all Sony's fault.

The nephew continues to love his Batman Lego.

In a strange way this is what I'm most pleased with

Mondo Gecko, TMNT. Had it when I was a kid but it inevitably got thrown out. Pure nostalgia.

I don't remember that. Also, did you guys get TMNT or TMHT?

He was from the point where they started mutating every animal they could think of lol, and even abandoning the concept of how the mutagen worked in the show for some. We got TMHT over here, not that anyone called it that. It must have been one hell of an operation to change just one word when you consider the staggering levels of merchandise. It certainly didn't stop kids braining each other!

It wasn't just a name change. They cut out mikey's nunchuk scene from the intro, and downplayed his nunchuks in the show. Funnily enough they were fine with sai daggers and swords. I didn't know any better until i watched a few eps on youtube and noticed a difference between the two.

Didn't know that. With Nickelodeon now owning the cartoon and comic rights, it often comes up for discussion around the IDW comic. Though I'm more than happy with that series. The original comic run, well, anything went!

So far the Boomerang games rental service is win.

The DLC for Infamous 3 was a total rip-off - £4 for 20 minutes of gameplay. It doesn't even indicate that the DLC has ended! A character tells you they'll call and they never do. Fcuking good mind to start sending out emails to see what comes back...

Saturday afternoon my washing machine was making funny noises. It's about 15 years old so I thought may as well get a new one. I ordered it about 5pm and it was delivered and installed by 9.30am Sunday morning. What service!

It's very quiet and doesn't look bad either. Oh and I reoiled the work tops too. Busy busy busy!

A new bed, moreso the new mattress which is both too expensive and lovely, to be delivered in a few weeks. The best bit though are the Tempur Cloud pillows. O.M.G.

Mine is in the garage waiting to go in to the room. I didn't go for full memory foam as it's supposed to be really hot. I ordered the 'energise' from Next.

I thought I'd probably go for pocket sprung with memory foam layer (I'd also heard full foam can be too hot) but in the shop they had range that is supposed to have a better thermal design called Viscoool. I tried a "3" firmness and it felt much nicer than the sprung/foam equivalent. The only matress I preferred to it was a latex foam igel which is even better thermally but that was £300-400 more!
