The Late Night Thread

[7om]

Almost two hours since the last post? Old man Giggles will lose his shit.

What's going on, lads?

[7om]

And Spoonsky goes and posts. Fuck this board.

[Mike]

I'm on FM until my mate gets here then I'm off the pub :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm cooking a risotto and drinking water. No time for posting.

[Spoonsky]

:flirt:

[Pleb]

Just seen Rogue One and now waiting on Chinese takeaway.

How about you 7om?

[Disco]

I forgot to take the pastry out of the freezer but only realised when I'd prepared most of the rest of the stuff for chicken pies.

[Spikey M]

I have an 11 month old with a Vomiting Virus and it was my day off to look after her. Fuck you and fuck Thursday.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I should be reading some shit history books but I can't be bothered.

I'm torrenting Lewis's book as well.

[7om]

I'm currently wasting time at work because I'm off from tomorrow, and thank you for asking, Pleb.

[igor_balis]

Made my mum pause Monday's only connect so i could go for a shit. So yeah, currently shitting.

[Giggles]

I was working hard. And when I checked earlier the US President thread was the only one being posted in so I like to go away and pretend it never happened.

[niko_cee]

On the subject of 'vomiting bugs' is this another thing that came in with Tony Blair? I never recall being sick once and then having to be off school for 2 whole days regardless of how entirely no longer unwell I was, whereas now that seems to be the standard operating procedure.

[Disco]

I'm currently wasting time at work because I'm off from tomorrow, and thank you for asking, Pleb.

\o

Tomorrow is my last day at work until the 3rd.

[Lewis]

I should be reading some shit history books but I can't be bothered.

I'm torrenting Lewis's book as well.

Which is taking money out of my pocket, cockhead.

[Giggles]

Is that really your book (I missed all that if it is)? If so, what the fuck's up with the price?

[Spikey M]

I'd sue him Lewis. Take all his cam girl money. You'd be doing him a favour, really.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Which is taking money out of my pocket, cockhead.

Ninety fucking pounds for a new one.

Sort it out.

I'll send a fiver via Paypal, deal?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Baz also got it.

[Giggles]

I'm going to watch Hammers MIGHTY BLADES.

[Disco]

The power just went off. If the battery in the only torch in the house runs out I will literally be sitting in the pitch black. And a second attempt at dinner cut short too, this is going well.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Christ, and I thought my fridge light breaking an hour ago was inconvenient.

[Disco]

I'm going to smoke a big joint and have toblerone for third dinner.

[Giggles]

The power just went off. If the battery in the only torch in the house runs out I will literally be sitting in the pitch black. And a second attempt at dinner cut short too, this is going well.

They only really sell them to universities, so they charge what they want to cover the limited print run.

I'm calling the police.

[Disco]

A picture of something I don't have is of negligible use right now.

[phonics]

I actually never took SD for a smoker. Funny what you learn over the course of a decade.

[Disco]

A wind up torch and some bird seed in the cupboard lads. Fuck off Ray Mears, this is easy.

[Giggles]

They only really sell them to universities, so they charge what they want to cover the limited print run.

Makes sense.


A picture of something I don't have is of negligible use right now.

It's to help you get prepared.

[Raoul Duke]

I've been off today but running around like a cunt trying to sort out various Xmas things :moop:

Just put the tree up, listening to 'Mary's Boy Child' by Boney M (awful) and getting into the gin

[Giggles]

This has been eventful so far. What's been going on at Coventry?

[John]

I'm torrenting Lewis's book as well.

You complete shithouse.


Just seen Rogue One and now waiting on Chinese takeaway.

How about you 7om?

Just seen Chinese takeaway and now going for a rogue one.

I've just written out over a hundred and fifty Christmas cards on behalf of my gran. If you're getting someone else to write them for you I reckon courtesy should tell you to keep the message as short as possible, but nope ' Have a lovely day and all the best for 2017' in every fucking one.

[Lewis]

That was fast.

[Spikey M]

I always admire the people that jist sign their name at the bottom of the card. No message. No 'dear...'. 0 fucks.

[Baz]

Went my mates and played with her dogs. Came home and made tea. Now monging out while she stacks the dishes next to the sink but not actually doing them, and muggins here will end up doing them tomorrow before making my tea. :yop:

[Spammer]

This has been eventful so far. What's been going on at Coventry?

The same thing as at Charlton, I think. Some random geeze has taken over who doesn't give a shit about any of it.

I missed the first ten minutes. Were we MIGHTY during that time? We've looked pretty good passing it around. We've often been good passing it around this season. I think it might be only thing we do in training.

[-james-]

I'm impressed that Lewis' book is already on the internet. Who's put it online for the purpose of being pirated? How many copies have been sold?

[Bam]

How much money have you made Lewis? Must be rolling in it at £90 a pop.

[Smiffy]

I have been waiting for my DBS to clear for the pass eight weeks and finally started in my new/old job yesterday and today. After two months of late nights, I foolishly stayed up til gone 3am on Tuesday, left for work just after 7 and then last night I figured I would just do the same and slog it out today. Big fucking mistake. I've been dead all day but now I come and right when you need it least, I get the second second wind.

[Spammer]

I'm impressed that Lewis' book is already on the internet. Who's put it online for the purpose of being pirated? How many copies have been sold?

I was going to ask this. Does someone have a pirate website where you can get that kind of outrageously obscure book? If it's going for free ill take a look at it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was going to ask this. Does someone have a pirate website where you can get that kind of outrageously obscure book? If it's going for free ill take a look at it.

I've got two sites.

It's pretty grand for Uni as the regular books are either always taken out by someone, they don't have a copy at all or I'm too lazy to go and get the physical copy. Although I generally try to use journal articles instead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What's his book about? And 90 quid? Is that a joke?

https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/56814/1/ethesis.pdf

It's his thesis but in a book format to sell to university libraries.

[Bam]

https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/56814/1/ethesis.pdf

Has Mahow just put the whole fucking book on here for everyone to read? :facepalm:

I would also like to give special thanks to my mum, grandparents, and brother. I could not have done this without their support. :henn0rz:

[Lewis]

The original thesis has been available on the university website for about eighteen months, and I think I was meant to have had it taken down once the actual book came out. Oh well.

[Bam]

Well I remove the original facepalm from Mahow and give it to you. :facepalm:

[7om]

I feel bad doing it through that link, but I will try and give that a read.

[Spammer]

What the fuck has happened to this game :D

[Manc]

Listening to the retro sounds of Clean Cut Kid.

I've got a wank planned out post veggie burgers.

[Giggles]

Should give Lewis the TTH collection money for you all reading his book.

[Giggles]

What the fuck has happened to this game :D

I'd turned it off but presumably more protests? Some cunt sat in the centre circle early on, and a few in the crowd made a bit of a rush.

[Spammer]

I'd turned it off but presumably more protests? Some cunt sat in the centre circle early on, and a few in the crowd made a bit of a rush.

About 100 people ran on the fucking pitch and all the players went in. They even went back to the studio for a bit.

Back out and we've scored. The MIGHTY FUCKING BLADES :cool:

[Lewis]

Should give Lewis the TTH collection money for you all reading his book.

That's what the police suggested.

[Manc]

Cracked into a filthy can of Strongbow. Breadline goals.

[Offshore Toon]

Just ordered a 20" pizza. Will try and do it in one.

[Spammer]

Let us know. I think I put away a 16" once but it nearly did me in.

[Offshore Toon]

I seriously doubt I'll do it. Was out last night and haven't slept much so stomach is a bit wobbly, but you never know.

[mugbull]

anyone wanna haxball?

[Lewis]

I seriously doubt I'll do it. Was out last night and haven't slept much so stomach is a bit wobbly, but you never know.

Believe in yourself.

[Offshore Toon]

Did half and one slice. Probably filled up too much on Pepsi, but it just tastes so good when you're dehydrated. Ultimately I reckon I could push on to 75% completion but I have to go out tonight and shitting myself becomes much more likely with every slice.

It's a failure for today, but next time I'll take it. For the board.

[Giggles]

Let us know. I think I put away a 16" once but it nearly did me in.

Late Night Thread at last :drool:

Thanks whichever mod did that.

Almost ready to head off to the airport and I'm getting the red-eye to Heathrow. It will be my first taste of Brexit air. Is it as refreshing as I'm imagining?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Beautiful. It cuts through your airways like a knife through an unrepentant Europhile's wrists.

[Spoonsky]

Lewis giving his dad the snub in the acknowledgements. Harsh.

[7om]

Beautiful. It cuts through your airways like a knife through an unrepentant Europhile's wrists.

Glorious. Sounds even better than what I was hoping for.

Don't have a seat right now because the place is packed so I'm hoping for an upgrade. Mon.

[Baz]

I planned to start wrapping presents at 19:30. It's now 21:44 and I've wrapped none, but also done nothing. Where has time gone?!

[Giggles]

I planned to start wrapping presents at 19:30. It's now 21:44 and I've wrapped none, but also done nothing. Where has time gone?!

It's 9 days to Christmas.

[Kikó]

On my way to Manchester and in first class (there was a sale on giggles). Red wine and plenty of cheese. Bang on.

[Giggles]

You don't need a sale keeks, you're big style.

[Lewis]

Getting the cheap first class upgrades on the Norwich to Hull run used to make my year.

[Manc]

Ahh Manchester.

Cheese and broccoli pies washed down with pale ale. Friday night is happening folks.

[Baz]

It's 9 days to Christmas.I'm out all day drinking tomorrow, hungover sunday, working monday to friday and then it's Christmas Eve. :uhoh:

#stalker

[Lewis]

This board is mega for stats and transparency.

[phonics]

"The most transparent administration in this websites history"

:cool:

Except if you have any kind of symbol in your name at which point the entire database breaks but don't tell anyone.

[Disco]

Is that why I wasn't able to register as pU$$y_KiLLa420?

[phonics]

Oh you could sign up, Lewis would just never be able to look up your posting history.

[Giggles]

I never knew all those stats existed.

Me and Magic clearly the saddest :cool:

[Magic]

I never knew all those stats existed.

Me and @Magic (http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/member.php?u=47) clearly the saddest :cool:

Nonsense. We are the powerhouses.

[Giggles]

Nonsense. We are the powerhouses.

At living our stinking lives through here.

[Magic]

You don't have a life.

[Giggles]

You don't have a life.

This is true.

[Adamski]

You don't have a life.

He does it's just nearly finished.

[Giggles]

He does it's just nearly finished.

You don't know how true that probably is.

[Adamski]

Haha oh dear :(

[Foe]

If you're a sky subscriber keep an eye on your emails. I just got a free 14 quid voucher I used to download and buy finding dory :cool:

[Lewis]

I went to York today with my friend, and we went in this sword shop. I asked the shop geezer whether the elaborate fantasy swords were any use (obviously not), and two loitering Randrew-types answered for the bloke and directed me towards the katanas upstairs. So what I did, right... What I did was I told them that Japanese swords are rubbish. They're all probably still arguing amongst themselves now.

'He's right. If I wanted to kill a load of people...'
*backs out*

[Alex]

:D

You're less than 24 hours away from living in the official UK City of Culture Lewis. You won't have to concern yourself with day trips out to places like York after that.

[Lewis]

True. The lasting legacy from that will be the mega new paving through the centre. Everything else will be shit and/or forgotten.

[Spoonsky]

Did you see the gun shop in York? Like a little slice of Alabama in the middle of Yorkshire. Strange place.

[Lewis]

I haven't been to York in about five years, but we didn't bother having a look around because everywhere was rammed with foreigners.

[Lewis]

Also, the pubs are surprisingly shit in York. I say 'surprisingly'. They are all just how you would expect a pub to look if it wanted to con money out of Americans.

'Gee, was this really built in 1644?'
*it might have been a pub for ten minutes some time before 1700, but then it was loads of other stuff, and then somebody built this pub in 1987*
'Yes.'
'How about that, Myrtle? 1644.'
*Myrtle isn't arsed because her family were Nazis*

[Offshore Toon]

I quite fancy a walk but its chucking it down. I might still go out for about 20 minutes because I'm so bored. The gammon is in the oven, though, so that'll be a nice 1am treat.

[Manc]

Aliens and fm. What a life.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I watched the 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie earlier. It was fucking bad, and what made it worse was that I didn't realise the theme tune (previously the series's only redeeming feature) was written by Bob Dylan. I fucking hate Bob Dylan.

[Giggles]

Well, Jimmys stock just rises by the day in my book.

[Offshore Toon]

Decided to go for a run. Got fucking soaked, but getting soaked in rain is great fun when you don't have anywhere to be. Gammon ready in 20. I've roasted it with a bit of salt, pepper and loads of red onion.

[Bam]

Why are you about to die, Giggles? :(

[Giggles]

:D What?

[Bam]

You don't know how true that probably is.


:(

[Baz]

I'm eating Frazzles.

[Offshore Toon]

Frazzles are quality. Them and Chipsticks are right up there.

[Offshore Toon]

And if you don't eat Chipsticks by chomping a centimetre at a time you're a fucking paedophile.

[Giggles]

Chipsticks stick in your teeth.

[Offshore Toon]

This gammon is banging. I'm gonna attempt to get through all of it.

[Offshore Toon]

Could have finished it, but thought better of it. #NewYearNewMe #Goals #We'reGammonIHopeYouLikeGammonToo

[igor_balis]

Just had a rollmop (literally got 2 jars of them as part of my christmas present from my uncle :D ) and gherkin sandwich. Pretty banging.

[Giggles]

A what?

[igor_balis]

Pickled herring bro.

[Smiffy]

http://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/blogs/panela-do-anacreon/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2014/04/Canabenta.png?fc9e39

You're not normal.

[igor_balis]

:drool:

[Offshore Toon]

Where do you live, igor? I've never heard of that before.

[Giggles]

Pickled herring bro.

That does not sound good.

[igor_balis]

Where do you live, igor? I've never heard of that before.

Rugby, the cultural hub of the midlands. I blame my Polski heritage for loving anything pickled and the town's inexplicable number of dodgy eastern european shops for enabling me.

[Offshore Toon]

I do like pickled goods, but not a fan of shit little fish like herring.

[Offshore Toon]

What ever happened to Davgooner?

[Giggles]

Still floats about the odd time doesn't he? Either that or he had one rumble too many and got his head caved in my some West Ham fans.

[Offshore Toon]

He hasn't stopped by since I've been posting again.

[Baz]

He broke the George Michael news on Christmas Day.

[Lewis]

Yeah, to the paramedics.

[Offshore Toon]

He broke the George Michael news on Christmas Day.
Fair enough.

My family wouldn't stop talking about death after George Michael died. I ended up going to my mates, and then his mum went on a rant calling him a bastard for "making little girls fall in love with him" when he was gay, then kept grouping him in with Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris. She was wrong, and she's mental, but it was funny tbf.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rugby, the cultural hub of the midlands. I blame my Polski heritage for loving anything pickled and the town's inexplicable number of dodgy eastern european shops for enabling me.
Roll mops are shit.

Try Polish pickled mushrooms, they're stunning.

[Lewis]

This BattleBots is fun. It's just Robot Wars with more shouting (lots more shouting), but some MIT nerds got donned by some no-mark college in the middle of nowhere, and I bet they were absolutely SEETHING.

[Manc]

Currently -1 in M town. Warming myself up with nachos and whiskey.

[Foe]

Not sure where else to put it, so here it goes.

Anyone here flirted with the idea of two TVs in their living room? I so regularly take my TV through from my bedroom to dual screen (usually american football) that I'm considering just buying another TV (as close to identical to the other as feasible) and just having it there constantly.

Would only cost about £400 and I have a black Ikea 'Lack' shelf I could put up and put it on (or just wall mount it).

Note: I (obviously) don't have a wife/girlfriend so I have free reign to do whatever I want to my flat.

[Adamski]

Why not then? I'd probably have done that by now if I was single.

[Foe]

Why not then? I'd probably have done that by now if I was single.

Was just looking for someone to authorise the purchase. :cool:

[Adamski]

Go on my son.

[Giggles]

This has reminded me, do we have a TV thread?

Not saying that Foes thing should be in it (good idea btw, I'd do likewise if I could) but I want to buy a new one and have some questions.

[Magic]

Just buy a 60"?

[Foe]

Done. :cool:

£350 of vouchers, so only cost me £19 of actual money. Shelves can go up tomorrow after work. TV arrives on Saturday.

[Giggles]

Just buy a 60"?

That's what the lad in work said too, but that would be ridiculously large. Mid 40's max.

[Boydy]

I spent quite a long time researching TVs around the 40 inch mark and around 300ish price a month or two ago.

http://www.techradar.com/news/television/best-tv-2013-what-tv-should-you-buy-this-year-709255

I bought the 40" version of no 9 on that list. I think I paid around 330 for it. I've been very happy with it.

[Giggles]

I just want to know is curved worth it over flat and is UHD worth it over HD. And if there are any other figures to watch out for. Something tells me Hz, and if that is the case then what's a good number?

Smart isn't really a necessity but once you get to the UHD ones they all seem to have their own smart interface anyway.

[Magic]

OLED > all. Take 'UHD' with a pinch of salt and really research what that means. You get what you pay for, basically. The jargon is all over the place being applied to shite TVs.

[Boydy]

I didn't think UHD seemed worth it as I don't have any UHD sources. Unless you've got the source material, you're just going to be upscaling normal HD and it'll look slightly worse than on an HD screen.

I have no idea about curved. I've never really liked the idea of it. What are the advantages meant to be?

I can't remember exactly what Hz is for? Refresh rate? I think that's mostly just important for gaming so you don't get any input lag.

[Giggles]

What about this? Was thinking about running up for it tomorrow, but it seems to have a lot off so it's probably some dud model with some bad spec I'm probably missing.

http://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headphones/hd-tvs/samsung-49-curved-uhd-smart-tv-ue49ku6100kxxu.html

[Boydy]

http://www.techhive.com/article/184820/hdtv_hertz_refresh_rate.html

Refresh rate explained. Also important for sport apparently. Seeems like above 120 is fine.

[Magic]

Did you see some of the marketing? If they call it anything other than what it is (i.e Trumotion) you can basically half it!

Really want a new telly now. :drool:

[Giggles]

Did you see some of the marketing? If they call it anything other than what it is (i.e Trumotion) you can basically half it!

Really want a new telly now. :drool:

I have no idea what that sentence means.

[Foe]

I only realised my TV had a netflix button and that I didn't need to buy that second PS4 about 4 months ago. I don't really worry about technology so much so long as I can make it play Recess and NFL.

[Boydy]

What about this? Was thinking about running up for it tomorrow, but it seems to have a lot off so it's probably some dud model with some bad spec I'm probably missing.

http://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headphones/hd-tvs/samsung-49-curved-uhd-smart-tv-ue49ku6100kxxu.html

Looks alright to me but I can't find any proper reviews online for that model number (just the ku6100 bit).

[Magic]

I have no idea what that sentence means.

Be wary of their bullshit marketing.

[Giggles]

Be wary of their bullshit marketing.

All marketing is bullshit.

[Magic]

All marketing is bullshit.

Not all of it.

[Giggles]

Not all of it.

It is really. All that matters is figures. I just don't know what figures are good in the case of televisions.

[Magic]

Wrong time to buy a telly though. As Boyd alluded to the content isn't there yet. A year or two though. :drool:

[Giggles]

Wrong time to buy a telly though. As Boyd alluded to the content isn't there yet. A year or two though. :drool:

That's what I was originally asking. Is UHD (or 4k) worth it considering I don't think I have any means of the content, or would I be better getting it seeing as I've had this TV for 6 years and I'll have the new one the same length of time.

[Magic]

I've had mine since 2011 as well. Not the right time if you want a long termer.

[Giggles]

I've had mine since 2011 as well. Not the right time if you want a long termer.

What's going to be new on them in 2 years if they're 4k already? Not including gimmicks like 3D. If I'm just waiting that long for a better price then I don't care.

This one is a 32inch non-HD so I won't be waiting that long regardless.

[Magic]

Slight improvements. Also the content.

4K is such a bullshit term as there are so many factors. Go in to a TV shop and look at the difference. You'll be amazed at what these cunts get away with.

[Raoul Duke]

I've got a curved monitor at work (for some reason we bought a load of Samsungs with it) and it is entirely pointless

[Giggles]

Slight improvements. Also the content.

4K is such a bullshit term as there are so many factors. Go in to a TV shop and look at the difference. You'll be amazed at what these cunts get away with.

The content availability hardly matters, that's got nothing to do with the TV :cab:

[Magic]

I was in a Euronics shop the other day and was looking at a 500 quid 4K Sony TV on demo mode. Then I saw a 2.5k 4k one on demo mode. Both 4k demos. The difference was literally breathtaking.

[Magic]

The content availability hardly matters, that's got nothing to do with the TV :cab:

Of course it does unless you plan on leaving it off.

[Giggles]

I've got a curved monitor at work (for some reason we bought a load of Samsungs with it) and it is entirely pointless

That's what I was thinking but they seem to be such a thing that I was wondering if there was any benefit. That said, I'd take it with a small grain of salt coming from your good self considering the brand.

[Giggles]

Of course it does unless you plan on leaving it off.

So I'd be better buying one that can play 4k content now then, so as I will be able to play it when it does arrive. That's what I'd asked :thbup:


So that's 4k and flat. I'll see what's available so.

[Magic]

Or just wait and get a better (cheaper?) one when it arrives?

[Giggles]

Or just wait and get a better (cheaper?) one when it arrives?

I want one now as mine is 32" non HD and I've €500 in vouchers.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Make sure you get a 4k one with HDR.

[Danny]

Make sure you get a 4k one with HDR.

Thats the only thing I am disappointed to have missed out although I absolutely love my TV. Well worth the cost, especially as I was going from a 37in 1080p to 55 in 4K.

[Giggles]

Make sure you get a 4k one with HDR.

There's these slightly smaller with HDR. Can't see the refresh on the pages though (the Powercity website is awful).

[Adamski]

http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-55UB850V

I got this over 2 years ago and the picture was absolutely breathtaking. I still notice it when I come home from holidays etc but I'm used to it now.

Used 3D twice, I did use 4K Netflix quite a lot pre-Kodi and that was equally amazing. It has upscaling too so you still get a better quality than 1080p.

I'm not sure how much it's moved on since, but I've had LG's for years and you can't go wrong. Maybe worth seeing what they have.

You have complete control over the house and it's 'only' four hundred quid. You're not even asking for advice on which product to buy, so why bother pretending that's not a 'two tellies in the sitting room, envy me' post?


I just want to know is curved worth it over flat and is UHD worth it over HD. And if there are any other figures to watch out for. Something tells me Hz, and if that is the case then what's a good number?

Smart isn't really a necessity but once you get to the UHD ones they all seem to have their own smart interface anyway.

My mate has a curved TV and while I haven't watched any live drama on it I have watched live sport and done some HD gaming there. Farcry 4 looks absolutely fantastic on it and while it's very subtle the curve seems to help 3D sound design. You need to think about the positioning of both it and your furniture though, which I'm sure your Feng Shui expert can help with.


I was in a Euronics shop the other day and was looking at a 500 quid 4K Sony TV on demo mode. Then I saw a 2.5k 4k one on demo mode. Both 4k demos. The difference was literally breathtaking.

That sort of confirms that for now 4K isn't a concrete display standard where televisions are concerned, but a vague technological upgrade that companies can use to claim that their new product is better than their last. I reckon I could claim my current TV can support 4K and it'd be about three years before anyone suggested or could prove otherwise.


I have no idea what that sentence means.

He means that if a feature has some nonsense marketing name which avoids specifics then it almost certainly isn't as special as they claim. If they tell you their new TV has fifteen HD ports and a 1080p display, you can believe that. If they claim to have TOSHIBAVISION which is loosely linked to loads of claims about other TVs then you can't.

[Boydy]

Imagine being on a date with someone and then going back to their house to find they have two TVs in their living room.

[Lewis]

'How come you've had that hat on all ni...'
'LOOK AT ME TELLIES!'

The tv is obviously the same as the other one. Anything else would be utterly ridiculous.

[Giggles]

I've given up. Picking one is a minefield if you're not going to four figures. The fact that the ones I've looked at are all on sales most likely means they're all shit anyway.

[Boydy]

Pretty much anything sounds like an upgrade on your current one so I wouldn't worry that much.

[Giggles]

Pretty much anything sounds like an upgrade on your current one so I wouldn't worry that much.

That's the thing though. It's probably fine really, I can see what I'm watching on it.

I just don't want to spend between 500 and 700 quid on something that's a 2015 TV that they're just selling off.

[Boydy]

What did you get the vouchers for? Are you likely to use them for anything else?

[Giggles]

What did you get the vouchers for? Are you likely to use them for anything else?

All4one vouchers so can use them for pretty much anything. Most shops here take them and they now have a 16 digit and a CCV number on them so you can use them online too. I've amalgamated them into the one card now so it's basically a single 500 euro one. A laptop was the only other thing I was interested in for myself but it's only as notion for FM and if 14, 15, and 16 are anything to go by I will have bored of it this time next month. Looked at Chromebooks too but I've the Pixel C so I'd really have no use for one.

Might just use it for groceries.

[phonics]

I could do with a telly if you're not sure which to buy, Giggles. I'm easy.

You could see what you were watching on a CRT too.

That's the thing, I probably would be fine. But if I'm spending then I want it to be half decent.

Want a second hand 32" HD Ready (ie non HD) Samsung?

[Spoonsky]

The tv is obviously the same as the other one. Anything else would be utterly ridiculous.

...why?

[Offshore Toon]

I've always thought that it's weird more living rooms don't have more TVs tbh.

[Spoonsky]

Why would you need more than one?

[Giggles]

To watch the same thing on both.

[Magic]

:D

[Offshore Toon]

Well, most of the time I'm not interested in whatever is on TV, so I'd rather have my own setup in the living room so I can beast Rocket League and still be somewhat social.

[igor_balis]

I'm so fucking bored. All week I'd been looking forward to having a quiet Saturday night for once, and now I just wanna get oiled and nobody wants to play with Igor :( .

[Lewis]

Alright igor.

[igor_balis]

Sup Lew

[Lewis]

Not a lot, mate. I'm reading about keeping pigs as pets. The advice seems to be to have two, because they are very sociable animals.

[igor_balis]

I mentioned "clitoral hood" in passing to the young lady I'm currently providing with disappointing sex and she didn't believe it was a thing. When showing her on wikipedia i made the startling discovery that women can accumulate smegma in there. The more you know.

Pigs are cool. They're super cute and pork is delicious. x

[Lewis]

That would be a good name for a metal band.

[igor_balis]

her ex boyfriend is in a shit metal band. their music sounds like BLUUUUUURGH RAWWWWWR and their lyrics are such embarrassing pseud bullshit, but all their videos are "lyrics videos", i.e. videos which have all the lyrics appearing like shit powerpoint effects throughout which makes it much worse because it means the lead singer actually wants people to read his sub-6th form poetry and think he's some kinda artist.

[Lewis]

He's probably on a Slipknot forum right now calling you Colin Hunt.

[Waffdon]

[Boydy]

Is this the one from before, Igor?

You're really missing that dog, huh, Lewis?

I bought an Easter egg today.

[Spikey M]

We went to Colchester Zoo today. Fucking ice everywhere, half the outside enclosures had the glass completely frosted over. On the plus side I had the best and gayest bath of all time when I got home. Nothing like a gingerbread bath bomb to thaw your bollocks.

[Lewis]

By forcing them back into your body.

[Adamski]

Baths :cool:

[Bartholomert]

Baths :cool:

Idk how people can do baths, it's just sitting in your own yuckiness and takes longer. Sitting down with a high pressure large surface area coverage shower head however...now that's luxurious.

[Kikó]

Baths are great. It's not really sitting in your own filth unless you're some kind of animal that washes once a month while rolling around in mud every morning.

[Queenslander]

Yeah I don't the confusion with baths...

Being a first world white male my body has dry sweat on it at worst. I don't use the bath as a toilet I don't use it as a bath to marinate in my digestive juices.

What sort of revolting state is your body in Mert by the end of your day?

[Baz]

I dislike baths cos I don't like the sensation of my testicles floating.

[Giggles]

In fairness, Mert is fat and Turkish. By the time the sweat and seediness washes off you've only got 50% water in there.

[Magic]

Fucking hell I'm sure I got rounded on for declaring the supremacy of the bath on here a few months ago. I love baths. Big, foamy ones and absolutely roasting salty ones. Reading and pondering in a bath really is marvellous.

[Boydy]

The bath bores me and I'm too worried about the steam damaging any books to read in it.

[Adamski]

Football on the iPad is bath nirvana :drool:

[Magic]

Bet you light candles and drink Elderflower Gin as well?

Nah, not a fan of candles (carcinogenic).

Also yes often take the laptop in and stream a game whilst melting.

[Magic]

Do you read books over and over? I read them once and am done with it so therefore no fucks given.

[Boydy]

No but I keep them on my shelves and don't want them damaged.

[Foe]

Have successfully installed TV number 2 on the wall in the living room.

Upside: It hasn't fallen off the wall.

Downside: It's seems to be impossible to control each TV individually. Fucking bullshit.

I think I remember him saying he'd bought the same TV twice.

They are. Seemed like a good idea at the time. :moop:

Why would you need two televisions? I can't find decent enough programmes to justify one.

[Baz]

Why would you need two televisions? I can't find decent enough programmes to justify one.Sports.

If not 2x sports, then at least 1x sports at all times, and then the other with Neighbours or whatever on.

(PS are you Stimps?)

[Giggles]

Why would you need two televisions? I can't find decent enough programmes to justify one.

I can see the appeal where you could have a regular TV show on and have a football match muted on the other. Implementation didn't live up though.

You're mums home cooked Chicago Towns? They are pretty special I must admit, much like her son. I imagine.

Cheers, mate, but I actually had most of one of these (https://groceries.asda.com/product/pies/asda-extra-special-slowcooked-chicken-wiltshire-ham-hock-pie/910002662514) for tea. It was pretty good for a shop-bought pie, if anybody fancies a pie this week.

[Giggles]

Meat pies are the greatest food / British invention.

Also is Leeds serious with this getting drunkn and posting on TTH shit?

I asked this before, but why hasn't America embraced savoury pastries? By all rights sausage rolls should be massive there, but they're too busy over-filling sandwiches.

Probably the fork and knife requirement sets too high of a barrier to entry. No idea. When I worked in London I ate them pretty much 4-5/week.

[Bartholomert]

My freinds boyfreind died on Monday, he is a big drinker and big Huddersfield fan. Drank himself to death and was found in the bath and it's a sorry tale. Not been a great week, worked a lot. Missus is in bed, and I'm just drinking. It's not as fun anymore.

If it makes you feel any better if I wasn't sickeningly vain and trying to lose weight I would be drunk pretty much every night.

[Lewis]

You eat them out the bag.

Also, I lolled at 'fork and knife', but it makes more sense than 'knife and fork'. This is probably how people feel on acid.

[Bartholomert]

Yeh but not in America because of the "Chicken Pot Pie" culture.

You don't eat a sausage roll with cutlery. You eat it with a quarter of it sticking out of the paper bag you bought it in.

I thought we were still talking about meat pies.

Pigs in a blanket are pretty big, so I guess we're close?

[Lewis]

Meat pies are self-contained. Pot pies are stews with lids on. FRAUDS, if you will. There is money to be made in savoury pastries if the law profession is too Jewish for your liking.

[Giggles]

Proper fully enclosed pies should have shortcrust too, not that puff abomination.
