I didn't see any XBOX Live deals this year unfortunately, don't need any until March though so will probably ask for some for my Birthday lol.  XBOX.com offered £10 off of any discounted games but I didn't really want of the games they were offering lol.

Tom, if you check out this link then Argos are currently doing 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (online access, games library on Xbox and PC) for £13.20 for 3 months (usually £10.99 per month / ~ £33 for 3 months): https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-3-months-1320-at-argos-3346529

Could ask for an early pressie from family and stack a year up without needing to spend anything more until next year.

Game Pass Ultimate details here: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-game-pass

This whole Ford Fiesta saga isn’t all bad, I’ve got the RS to drive for the next few days 😁

Send me picture when you get them or install them 😁. I have a pair of the switchback fogs but they don't fit on my car as they are too long. Think dad will fit them in in his new car.

@zain611 almost got the switch back fogs as well but barely used my fogs in the 4 1/2 years of owning the car. Most of the time just having the DRL (side) or dipped has been fine for the conditions.

I wonder how much one night in a Travellodge costs in Manchester in January?  If it's only about £30 it might be better to go up the night before so you're fresh and awake for the open day?  Otherwise you'll have to get up so early it won't be worth going to bed lol!

On the Ps3 it's free to play online but not for PS4. Have to see for that event as I have an exam the day after. Makes me think how ill manage it if I'm fortunate to get in. Last year there was 540 applicants and 35 vacancies for my specialism so need to focus on the appitude tests to hopefully get an interview. The part time masters for the training would most likely make me go to Manchester University and the work placement I just have to hope too that it's in London. I've read if people getting in with just a degree so just shows it's possible however I have a masters along it.

I get the daily HUKD updates as well...thought I'd seen you over there! :biggrin:

I only play one game though, so all I need apart from that is the Xbox live which is about £30 a year I think.  It would be a good deal if I used everything on the game pass.

One of my previous forum mates has a barcode tatoo'd on his neck...I wonder if this is what happens when he scans it! :laugh: 

 

I find coconut products are always good for a laugh on a receipt, it's usually either coc or cnut! :lol:

Heard about people complaining of a loud explosion sound at 4am in London. Looks like it was found to be a sonic boom from a jet. 

Yep. 2 RAF Eurofighter Typhoons were sent out on QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) from RAF Coningsby to intercept an airliner which had lost comms with ATC. They were given supersonic clearance to intercept as quickly as possible.

Driving a car like the RS makes you feel very good, and also childish. Brightened up the 50mph roadworks section of the M1 around Milton Keynes with plenty of sport mode cracks and pops 😂. Did have a scare though, as the speedo read 80 (not in the roadworks I hasten to add!) but the Waze speedo on CarPlay read about 15mph higher! Turns out this is a well known bug though and Waze is inaccurate so phew!

I am liking the campaign flyers we're getting this year...

One of the local candidates is genuinely called Mr Pratt...  I mean I don't know how anyone with the name Pratt doesn't change it...but to go into politics with it!? :laugh:

 

Then today we got this one...he actually looks like that 'trying not to laugh' meme ffs!! :lol:

Just take care around other road users. I've seen a fewRS drivers driving without care for other road users. One guy was just revving the engine whilst on the move. Made me wonder if he even owns it.

I always try to look out for others, driving a car like that requires a lot of responsibility and the ability to be sensible when it matters. Had a few mugs mostly in TDI Audi’s try to race me but I didn’t react. Had fun when the roads were clear and no one else to worry about 👍

Thanks, it is getting very nippy! Sadly I don’t think I’ll be driving it again, as I should have my little fiesta by the end of the week if they sort their act out r.e paperwork.

You get 2 free games every month on PS4 (sometimes not worth playing) but you only get to keep them whilst your membership is active. If you let your membership lapse, you lose access to them. It works the same way with XBox Live games. 
All current gen consoles need a subscription to play online games because of the extra security they provide (note that PS4 and XB1 haven't been jailbroken yet like the 360 and PS3 were).
