Saw these on offer this morning and thought I'd treat myself.  Checked the defrost instructions when I got home and was surprised to read this...

Defrosts in 15 minutes!?  How is anyone meant to get them home before they defrost!?  :unsure:

😮 

Thought it was a typo and meant to be "one hour and" fifteen minutes so messaged the company but apparently it's correct.

The quality of the PS4 versions of GTA: San Andreas, GTA: III and GTA: Vice City is still the same as it was on PS2. 
I actually think it's worse now due to larger screen and higher resolution tvs. 
They are still good games though and it does take me back to my teen years.

The lighting effects in San Andreas is different in the cutscenes. My PS2 stopped working several months ago so can't play my games on it so thought on getting this pack. Haven't played GTA 3 before so will be something new.

I've thought about getting myself a PS2 and playing them again but always feel that I'll end up disappointed and don't want to ruin the good memories of playing those in my younger years!!

I don't like having a totally crap day at work and buying a pack of cigarettes after about 2 months of not smoking.  But hey ho better to have a smoke than punch somebody!!!

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure the ingredients would need longer for separation to occur and bacteria to build up.

I'm just booting up gta San andreas. Do enjoy playing it and as its a new save file it's nice to go through things again.

I would have to disagree with you there (though I've never punched somebody yet).

I could send you a stress toy or three if you want. Always tend to pick up a few from industry conferences/shows in the year so have some spare if you are interested 🙂

New phone cold call/scam again and just read about it saying your internet is being cut off in 24/48 hours and to press 1.

They said its from India the scam and i have had like 3 or 4 a day in the last week,caller I.D and call Guardian together with VIP list works good.

👍👍🤣 Stupid people.

We have caller ID on our phone so we don't pick up unless we recognise the number and let it go onto the answerphone. Most unknown numbers just hang up as soon as the message starts, so we're not much bothered by them. (It's  SWMBO's voice on the answerphone message so they're probably scared off!)😀

That is what i do as like international say with no number we have caller I.D on and you can block the name as well but the thing is and aint got a clue how they do

it its our local code like our code is 01384 and that code comes up some times and being a carer i cant ignore it as could be some medical person who aint rang before or a person to ring see how my dad is,today 29/5 had it 6 times (not local code) so when i see the code i block it,6 numbers so far all with same code.

Yes, I know what you mean and do sympathise - I went through a spell of that over my late mum a few years back. Annoying thing I found was that many of these medical things come up as "number withheld" on caller ID which makes it impossible for you to not answer, just in case.

I also don't like eating the McDonald's Mexican Stack, 

When biting in to the Mexican Stack; I Always feel like Bear Grills eating a mouse, 

Because the Mexican stack is a Bagel; which has a hole in the middle; and all the sauces run out of the hole as you bite in to it.

Not Cool; especially in the car at 22:00 when you cant see "What's goin on"

This week is the New York stack; but my local kip didnt have any in stock; offered me the Mexican stack alternative but theres a hole in the thing.

Past seven years been doing nights; wasn't really an issue but this week things are quiet in work and its killing me; been cleaning pipes and power washing concrete yards just to keep busy maintaining the routine of working;

Power washing at 3am though 🤯 

Been doing mostly nights for 16 years.
Tbh it's more fun because that's when most of the scumbags come out to play. [emoji6]

We managed to get an air lock in the fuel system on our diesel Honda CRV after filling up today. Thankfully all sorted by a combination of me using the built in primer (!) and the AA resetting all the warnings that had resulted (low rail pressure, throttle position sensor, etc). I was fearing the worse, but ended up learning a lot about diesel fuel systems!

FFS more problems today and another call out for the AA. The same symptoms again but this time just throttle position sensor warnings. The AA chap removed quite a few parts and put various cleaners through and now the engine seems to be running fine again. Fingers crossed! He advised us to change the fuel filter and we topped up with (different) diesel too. At 130k miles I think we may also start looking at getting something newer like a Ford Kuga, Volvo XC60 or Land Rover Discovery Sport...

I've got one or two hanging around somewhere, but never found them to work for me, unless I was to throw them at certain people but I'm pretty sure that would get me sacked!! :laughing:

@TimST2 would it be worth getting a TerraClean done and/or some additives into a tank of premium diesel? I think there was a discount voucher for TerraClean as part of the FOC membership (pretty sure there was as I vaguely remember giving it to a work colleague at the time when he owned a rather old Jaguar).

I don't like stripping the beds and washing it all, only for the sunny skies to suddenly turn to dark grey!!  Looks like I'll be drying them indoors or taking to my mother's to use her tumble drier... :angry:

I could just about manage to dry one double bed set indoors but I did the guest bed as well and there's no way I can do two over a clothes horse!!

Over here it's nice and sunny. The weather forecast changed from rainy for the next few days to clear. At least I can look at my car cleaner for longer however I want to see it rain and see how the glass sealant works
