Fair play to you for doing this.

I knew this was going to win, since Robot Pat can't be defeated, he shoots lasers from his eyes.

If you're seriously considering buying a car, spend £5 or so and get a comprehensive vehicle check done on its registration. Something like https://www.theaa.com/vehicle-check. There are lots of places that offer this service. It'll let you know if it was written off or has outstanding finance. Compare the chassis number with the one they list on the check, so you're not buying a ringer. At the very least, if it does show anything you can use it to knock the price down.

Yes. 365 Days to write a song, yet I know I'm going to leave it to the last 2 hours.

I admit I'm a little disappointed we don't actually have to write and record songs.

Lough Neagh could be NI's biggest tourist attraction and leisure resource, but it's been turned into something so toxic you literally can't walk your dogs near it for fear of them being poisoned by algae. It'd dissolve the fucking Terminator it's so bad. And it's being turned into a political issue. Instead of just using science to find the cause, and introducing strict environmental guidelines, the farmers union are protesting 'it wasn't us' and the DUP (never the biggest friends of science) have been involved. Lough Neagh isn't even publicly owned, it's privately owned by The Earl of Shaftesbury who appears happy enough to let it turn into a toxic dump, but might sell it if he gets enough money. I live about 5 miles away from it, and it could be a magical place to have close by, it's so fucking frustrating.

Would you be able to notice much of a difference between this and a £60 Chinese handheld running Fuse? Plus the Chinese option will emulate pretty much everything up to Dreamcast or so. I know the screen is smaller, but something like a Powkiddy RGB30 has a square display that'll be a better fit for a 4:3 display. Good luck to them but...

It might have been me doing something stupid, like adding two free games, but not checking out, then discovering them long after the offer has expired! Thanks.

Just be careful I noticed a couple of paid for games had been added into my 'cart' in the Epic Games Launcher. No idea where they came from. Anyone else notice this?
