My son got BOTW and never really got into it. As good as he was at games he never got past that fire mountain I think he lost interest. I liked it because we did it together. He did the actual gameplay with the controller but I helped him work out what to do. He got it straight after release...

Aawww! You're it's Mommy! You do know that to teach it right you need to feed it live meal worms by your mouth!

Translation for oldies- 'You are just old!' Reply - 'Hell yeah! And I earnt every scar, ache, sprain, grey hair and arthritis by being out there and living.' Seriously, I'm only early 50s and while the grey hairs and arthritis like have pain is real I do operate at 100mph in thought. ADHD is...

I grew up with Mallards visiting our garden. They are the pigeons of the duck family IMHO. We got one duck waddling about 500m from a tiny pond in a field opposite us. it visited our lawn and we fed it bread. The next day it came back with a female and we fed both. By the end of the week we had...

I once did a stupid thing. At about 12:30 I set off on what I thought was a 3 hour walk. It was not but a 3 mile walk and I finished it in less than an hour. So I saw another colour of walk (in a forest) that I thought was supposed to be 9 miles (it included the 3 mile route just finished). So I...

We did not have enough money to get a good rig for our 12yo last year in his step up from Switch. We got a £800-900 bargain (actually cost a lot more if bought elsewhere or even components and built up). We then got a good keyboard and a high is it CPS mouse. All high performance peripherals...

Does it have the cheat that allows you to pick your level to go onto?? We all had the joystick controller that plugged into the back with the big red button that hacked games to get a cheat menu. I never used it of course!! :whistling::whistling::sneaky:;)

I've got an old Sinclair spectrum. Should be in working order too. No tape player though. I wonder if there's a way to get those old games for a pc or even phone / tablet? I've heard of emulators but I've never managed to get one working. Anyone know how to get the old manic miner, jetpac and...

BTW I'm interested in something waterproof that's as packable as a windshirt from the likes of Montane but is also covering my crotch so any rain run off will hit my thighs not the crotch. That's a big annoyance for me.. Thighs can dry quickly but not the same for higher up if it gets wet from...

Not light or compact but comfortable there's paramo. I wear a adventure lite Velez right now when rain is on the cards. When at most there's likely to be only very light showers I wear a Montane windshirt. I cycle from station to work in about 10 minutes plus 5 minutes walk through the site to...

Got to call the garage we bought it from to tell them there's an issue with it. Just over a week during which we've barely used it and today it started making a loud, juddering noise as soon as it gets to about 30-40mph. We've got 3 months warranty so we're using it. They'll sort out a local...

I'm a quality engineer, early 50s but in a large company that's starting to take on some aerospace quality tools from the aerospace standards. Namely the ones that originally came from automotive sector that I started out on quality in. One business unit is aerospace though so they have to...

Best not say on a public forum I'm afraid. Used to make insulation products for power station exhaust silencers and the like, however that's not very interesting. Lots of boring stuff like looking at CFD analysis, temperatures and gas flows as well as loads of badly drawn engineering drawings...

I've seen that ad, how long ago was that?

I left school for a degree course that offered no prospects.. Got that degree a year later than I should have so missed all that graduating with mates. Went into low paid agency work with periods of time selling my signature to the state every fortnight while volunteering for a conservation...

And clothes model iirc. If I have recalled correctly you got very wet on a cold day getting that promotional photo for a certain magazine, wearing a certain make of clothing. I have a very strange memory that forgets what I need but remembers what I really don't need. This is one of the...

I love the idea that someone feels sorry for people from another country for living in a nanny state just because they have different restrictions. Pretty much every modern state has restrictions. The truth about the ones in the UK they are about safety concerns relating to a current threat...

There's a butcher's about 20 minutes or so from us now that was located up by a tarmaced drive in a field. It was the only building there. Front was a typical shop but in a small carpark the back behind a red, white and blue vertical strip "closed" entrance was a passageway with a gutter in the...

Well we are picking up an Octavia TDI in about 2 weeks sub 10k just when we'd been looking at equivalent aged SUVs from Kia, Hyundai and Honda costing £13k or more. You pay for the SUV body shape but the estate shaped cars are cheaper and IMHO would suit people better So at some point in the...

The old days... Does anyone remember the time before supermarkets when red meat was actually brown and aged yet people never got ill with such rotten meat? The was a documentary on supermarkets or food before them. Apparently it was a supermarket ploy to convince us that aged meat is rotten...
