That's better! Although, to be fair, I can't really get excited by an electric powered 'muscle car' can't beat the sound of a V8 😎 

Well, I thought the Mustang Mach E looked awful...but I've just seen the PS5!  Looks like someone sat on it!!   

 

At least they put some effort into the design I suppose...Microsoft couldn't even be bothered to try...The Xbox One X is literally just a brick!  

 

Maybe I'm just turning into a grumpy old man but I don't like any of this new fangled design.

I'm gonne be ordering one when pre-orders start. 
One thing I'm not keen on is that GTA V is getting another port over so that will be 3 generations of console it has been on. I do like that I'll get an extra $1m a month until it releases on PS5 just for logging in and being a PS4 PS+ subscriber and player.

My Xbox One is still going strong at the moment...  Not sure whether to go for an X or go back to Sony for a PS5 when it does break though...    Will wait and see how many teething issues they both have before deciding I think!

They're both going to have teething issues. Every gen console has. It looks as though Sony has learned from their mistakes with the cooling issues on PS4 and PS4 Pro though. 
The PS5 also looks much better than the XB series X with it's boxy appearance. 

I still have a standard XB1 but arely use it now unless I fancy a blast around on FH4 in my many Fords, lol. 

I sold my Xbone after they started releasing Halo:MCC on PC.

Now that Halo Infinite is coming to PC too, I literally have no need for the Xboxs*x

Can't wait for the PS5 though.

I only just got my PS4 so for sure I won’t be changing up! As long as I can still play Fortnite I will be fine without...although instant loading would be nice....

Oh no what an awful looking car!!

There’s a video of Ken Block reviewing the Mach-E Mustang. He enjoys driving it a bit but you can see him wince every time he refers to it as a Mustang. You can see the contractual obligation eating him alive. 
 

What a cheek calling that a Mustang? Similarly although I’m sure the new Puma is a nice car and will be great for some people, it should not be called a Puma.

Exactly.  Everything is becoming an SUV now I know that's what "people" want but it is getting beyond a joke.

I don’t mind everything becoming an SUV, but just think of a new name instead of tarnishing the memory of an old great!

I don't like that the decals for one of my model kits don't want to adhere to the paint and have broken up preventing any sort of recovery. I also don't like that the paint I could have used to replace said decals doesn't match the decal colour despite it being gold. 
I also don't like that I've accidentally thrown away a very small chrome piece for that same model kit. 
I think I'll contact the manufacturer and ask how much it will cost for replacement decals and that small chrome piece as I don't want to waste £25 on a kit that won't look right without them on as it's a limited edition vehicle I'm building.

Unfortunately I have an awful suspicion you may be right there!😃

I don't like when you buy an item off eBay and all ok and paid for by PayPal all receipts and seller says all fine and paid but.
My own eBay under purchases says "PAY NOW".
it's all complete and sending item Monday.
Will this go once tracking number on there as he said it won't let him do it to say its been paid for,it was on a best offer which he accepted and I paid for.

EDIT..... Found out now it's the Android App on my S10 as on my p.c there is no unpaid item just stated paid waiting to be sent.

Seem to be getting a lot of problems with this S10 like the when i have a pop up message on any app not eBay it takes ages to go off like ''sending message'' or even on other apps where a confirmation message pops up to say sent or being sent and stuff.

I don't like that I have to have an electrical inspection done on my property today due to new government legislation. 
I also don't like that my landlord has refused my request to have a plug socket and aerial socket moved about a foot (even though I'd be paying or it to be done) so that I can fit all my units together to make the flat look tidier and more like a home rather than a dumping ground. It's like that because there's no storage areas apart from a tiny cupboard in the bathroom which is half taken up by the water heater.

I don't envy you there - my last landlord was exactly the same.  Now I have a house I can do whatever I want to but no longer have the spare money to do it

Surely it can wait a few months given the current situation?  Only needs to be done by April next year for existing tenants afaik.

Unfortunately I'll never be in a situation where I'll be able to buy a house due to il health and not being able to work. My current landlord is the estate agent and won't even allow me to repaint (same colour) unless I pay his contractors £50 a day plus costs. It's never been repainted and I've been the only tenant in here since it was new 11 years ago.

You are correct there Tom, it only applies to new tenants until April but my landlord/agent wants all their rental properties doing before July 1st.

That was my situation before too, the landlord refused to make any decisions so said "speak to the agency" and they were the most obstinate and intransigent people I've ever dealt with.

I don't like how my nosiness has caused a moral dilemma this evening....

Started checking MOT history on cars in our car park out of boredom...and noticed one has no MOT.  It ran out in March and the extension didn't start until March 30th right?

It's still being driven daily...  Trouble is, I can't tell him I was checking MOT history for the fun of it can I!?

I've never even spoken to him before lol.

I don't think you actually get what I mean. I mean that my landlord is actually the owner of the estate agents and he owns both the flats. He purchased the 2 flats from the previous landlord/owner after they were unable to sell them.

Tom, if it is being driven on the road and you've seen it being driven on the road then you can report it to the police. If it expired in March before the 6 month extension came into place and you can clearly see on the DVLA database it has no MOT the report it. You'll need the make, model, colour and location. The police will know who the owner is and they'll probably keep an eye out for it being driven. 
The vehicle insurance will be invalid right now too (no valid MOT = no insurance) so that's another offence of driving without insurance.

Yes, going to be logging on monthly for that free reward. Not that long ago I completed the 10 daily challenges and got 1 million. Not sure what else to buy now unless I could get that 170z lookalike.
