That one on 'Tesco' is okayish but you will need a graphics card for it, at the very least. The second one one is better but again the need for a graphics card. Bizarrely both are being sold really weird given the language being used to sell it.

You get what you pay for really and that bundle is really cheap and the seller may not be completely reputable. If you have access to finance then give PC Specialist a visit and play around on the configurators.

Just seen Lukaku is going to reject a new contract at Everton, bit of a dick move, but not much of a surprise.


He was always better than Everton and I would love him at United. With Rooney and Ibra seemingly both off then getting Lukaku is a great step with someone else in as backup with Rashford.

Came on to get some graphics. This forum is dead now. Why?

It's as if everyone who used to post here grew up, went to uni and got a job or whatever. But KM isn't here either?


Cheeky bastard. I come back once in a while but then I see idiots here on the dead forum and they think Clinton was better than the woeful Trump and I log back out

It's ridicolous - we've crashing into fascism at an alarming rate. - Like Parliament and the UK justice system (especially HOMOSEXUAL judges), have been added to the subversive list, along with child refugees, Gary Lineker, Jo Cox and the 62% of Britain's who are unpatriotic scum.


What?

I've now gone a full month without finishing a single film, and only watched two films since mid-September. Can't watch anything for more than 10-15 minutes without being overwhelmed with boredom.


ADHD or depression?

I'm fed up with my network supplier, o2, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to what network is best in the UK? Thinking of switching to 3 as my friends who are on it seem to have the best reception (phone and data) and seems well priced.

Currently trying to unlock my phone too, which seems an almighty pain and pricey for what it is!


Depends on where you are and what you want. It differs massively after all .

Was thinking of getting one of these for Christmas as a "family" present (so what if my kids are under 3 and it's really just for me). Which in your opinion is better and why?


Forgot we can't make polls on this site

Basically Xbox One or PS4?


Scrap PS4. They have lost already.

French toast is a great way to make use of stale bread.


Bread and butter pudding is the only acceptable use of stale bread.

Yeah that sounds pretty boring!

Endgame for The Division is definitely very worrying, particularly for people who play it alone - whom Ubisoft have seemingly forgotten about. I mean if you don't enjoy the DZ and you've done the three dailies what else is there to do? You can farm missions for high end gear, but that gets incredibly repetitive and quite boring.

When they sorted the Bullet King glitch they took away all the bosses outside DZ, which means there's a whole city to explore with nothing in it! Hopefully when the expansions come out and they (hopefully) expand New York more they'll be more to do.


I'm only at level 14 and the game is already boring due to there being nothing in game. It's a sheer lazy game they didn't put much thought into.

On my way home from work last night I saw literally hundreds of people walking up to the church in my village with purple flowers and candles for a vigil in memory of the murdered fifteen year old Kayleigh Haywood who lived here. You see this sort of thing on the news every day but when it happens in your own back garden and you can see the effect it has on the local community, particularly a small, tight knit one such as Measham it is really shocking.

They formally charged a 28 year old with the rape and murder last night despite not having officially identified the body so he must have either confessed or they have something concrete on him.


It's sad that it took so much publicity for so many to get behind it. A truly tragic crime only made worse by the current culture of media led grief whoring.

Pretty sure there's a thread with steam names in the FM forum somewhere.


I had no idea. I've not played FM for a few years until 16

The radio does not mean a damn thing. Rock is still alive and doing more than well. It's just a sorry fact that the majority of radio listeners are kiddy music lovers and uneducated to boot.

If you don't see why the biggest attack on French soil since the World War possesses a higher newsworthiness for westerners than people in Pakistan, Syria or Nigeria dying due to terrorism or "imperialism", which happens every day, then you're fucking dense.


I agree which surprises me as I thought you would be one of the Swedes that would conform to new stereotype of Sweden (Sweden being the real world tumblr)

It's got nothing to do with race or White privilege It's because Paris is extremely close. And it feels close to home. It was Paris, but it feels like it could have been Paris, London, Munich, Madrid, Stockholm - it strikes more terror - which is by definition the aim of terrorism.

Also informing a 'PoC' about white privilege - is pretty much white privilege.


White privilege is a social construct that isn't actually real.

Why? Because it's something tragic that's happened in Europe?

As awful as it is, it's the perfect example of how PoC are constantly ignored when it comes to their own tragic events and how white privilege reigns supreme. All the media coverage, attention and talk is about Paris. What about the events between Israel and Palestine? How about Lebanon? And everything else going on in the Middle East? There's no media outrage or an international day of mourning. There's no social media apps creating filters etc to show support. There's nothing.

No life is more important than another, regardless of race or religion.


Because we as a whole are pretty much all European apart from a few.

PoC is a shit term used by shit people by the way. If 'coloured' is a bad term then so is the social justice warrior term 'People of Colour'.

Also you may have a problem with your memory but I used to mention things like that but dregs of society on here and elsewhere like to shout it down. You were one such person who did it so it is quite something to see how you have turned you special little snowflake.

Have you tried wearing it? I had it on for a couple of minutes and went 'nah', and put it back on its little stand


Exactly the same as you. It's back in the box for now though
