Seriously, you're missing a character, I'm sure of it

I just crashed the main data server

Nothing about that ad suggests you should buy a Fiat. Nothing.

.... Unless your old, past it and [LIFTED] grannies.

The term "crash mitigation" is used in that advert. I bet they had a whole squad of lawyers fighting with the marketing team about the best words to use.

Buys Tamriel Unlimited (second hand so cheaper than the RRP of £54) partly because I got more than my money's worth out of Skyrim.

Gets it home, inserts into the PS4...

... 16GB update required to download. Worse than that, everything implies that I can play the game without applying it, until I get to the Start Game screen where I am told that I have to apply the update before I can proceed.

It started off downloading saying that it had over 3 hours. That's gone down now, but 16GB of patches seems a trifle excessive.

Every game I've tried recently bar the new Wolfenstein has had at least a 10Gb patch - the fact it didn't have a patch makes me nervous. I keep forgetting it's there until the disc spins like something demented FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

The above mentioned patches have taken so long to come down (it's definitely their servers) that I often don't even play the game until the next day, or days after, because you're not in the mood/other sh1t's then got in the way.

Laugh in the dumb face of anyone who tells you downloads and streaming are the future of gaming.

Maybe he's got a wee friend in prison - he certainly seems determined to go back.

The Recreated ZX Spectrum. A Bluetooth keyboard disguised to look like the classic computer from the early 1980s. Nothing wrong with thy.

However, look closely at this photo and there are subtle clues that the font sued for some of the text undervote keys is Ariel, and not Helvetica.



Arial is a font cooked up by Microsoft which has the same metrics as Helvetica, but not the same shapes. In this case, the giveaway is the capital R. Arial did not exist in 1982.

The Dartford Crossing payment website.

Government run site, natch.

nuff said.

I'm seeing an awful lot of 'invoice spam' at work with a 'from' address of that web site. Haven't had time to check the originating IPs to see if they're faked or it's been hacked. The latter wouldn't particularly surprise me.

The one time I don't bother to charge my mobile is when it would actually be useful...

My mum asked her friend to send a geezer round to talk about decorating and of course gave her friend the old phone number

Guy shows up, first I'd heard anything about decorating, my mobile's dead and the Braincell Trust have hidden the new house phone... Unsurprisingly the guy looks at me like I've just beamed down.

I'm telling you, the only thing Logan's Run got wrong was the age you got greenlit.

You're going to have to explain that for idiots like me.

I feel like there's a very specific niche of users who'll get that.
