      It’s probably a reject from the factory, bought for a couple of pennies and flogged on as good hoping most people won’t bother with claiming a refund.

        Not sure about the darts but apparently the skittles is about a 40% success rate for the Legion. It’s just an excuse for a mild piss up mid week.

          RSB, ain’t that the truth. Visiting skittles/ darts teams are often shocked by the prices of the lager and cider. Bitter and dark are much better but still a bit steep.

            Just seen my GP again and I now have another referral in the pipeline, this time to a gastrointestinal specialist because of my stomach issues. The medication I’m on makes me more vulnerable to other issues and the GP wants to make there is nothing untoward going on.

            In the meantime I have another drug to try, Ranitidine.

              £1.34 a pint is a steal! In the Legion I go to a Fosters is £3.40. Mainly because one of the committees borrowed a load of money from the brewery to do one of the bars up. Until the loan is repaid the current committee are unable to negotiate a better rate per barrel.  That was 10 0dd years ago…….

              As I can’t drink draught anymore (it upsets my stomach, bloody medication) I drink cans of Guiness there, £2. If I could drink draught it would be Brains Dark, the club chairman (until he died) was a ex publican and taught a load of members how to serve a perfect dark. He taught them well.

                Bob, thanks.

                Going to have a look at the book in a moment.

                  I saw a very clever bloke today, this fella.

                  Very nice and helpful. He’s doing some letters for my gp and my rheumatologist regarding medication and further ways to help me. It was a very interesting 50 odd minutes, he pointed me at a book one of his friends and colleagues has done and there’s a short video on You Tube explaining the principle. It makes sense to me, the book comes tomorrow.

                  Arthritis and autism are probably very closely linked, as are other conditions. Prof Hall does the consultations on a voluntary basis as until recently there was next to no NHS autism services in Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan. Usually it’s only the initial consultation he does but because of my circumstances he may well see me again periodically as it might help with his research.

                    That’s really strange Alan.

                    Have you tried an ‘incognito’ tab? Clear cookies and all that jazz?

                        First thing mum did was get on the local community forum and enquire there. If anyone local has lost it someone on there will know.

                                Regarding controllers, the XBox 360 pC one is very good, I have a wired Mad Catz certified X Box 360 one and it’s great. Even better is the Nvidia Shield Controller, CeX have them. Get the 2017 one, much nicer than the original. The best controller I’ve used for  my sore hands.

                                Linux support I can’t comment on, apart from they both worked with Mint on a X220 with the latest version about 18 months ago.

                                    Have you got a ice scraper, or old debit card, lying around? That should work.

                                      I think the amount of Hawkwind I’ve been listening to coaxed it back to life. ?

                                        Out of the blue Waze started working again today. No recent updates or anything. ?

                                        Very odd, just glad to have it back again!

                                          Try some WD40..

                                          It vets rid of the sticky gunk left behind when you remove stickers from windows so might work.

                                            Your lad was lucky Steve, could have been a lot worse.

                                            I’ve been hit by cars 3 times, one on foot, once on a skateboard and once on a bike. None my fault and walked away from all of them. The one on foot I was taken to hospital for a check over, the others I didn’t touch my head so figured if something was wrong I’d find out later. ?

                                            I put my walking away from them all to knowing how to fall, it’s ingrained in me since about age 9-13 when I did some karate, judo and jiu jitsu.
