    Are specialist forums dying?

    Facebook has taken most of the traffic but I struggle with groups on there. Posts don't seem to appear in a logical way however you order them. Small groups seem to work OK but when I look at big ones it can be hard to find a post you had previously seen unless you have already commented on it...

    Sony is pulling Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store and offering full refunds...

    In terms of issues there are broadly 3 categories: Console performance - it doesn't run properly on the last gen the suggestion online is that this is because it hasn't been optimised because of the release date. It's absolutely unforgivable that they lied to people to get them to buy it...

    Worst place you have ever lived?

    First place I lived with my now wife was a split level flat in a 4 story 70's block in south London. Looked respectable from the outside but that was about it. This was about 10 years ago. First night we moved in we were woken by our immediate neighbour playing drum and bass so loud it was like...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    They confirmed to me on Twitter that its by when you first registered interest not when you press the convert button. So anyone who registered interest is in front of people who just went on yesterday morning and pressed pre-order. I registered interest on 16th March so am hoping I get one...

    Looking for a work monitor

    Cheers all. I purchased a Y27q-20 and now my spreadsheets scroll at a much better rate :D

    Looking for a work monitor

    I'm currently using a 24" Asus pro art monitor from about 6 years ago. It's fine for the small amount of gaming I do on it but I find myself getting eyestrain from the computer after working all day. Its a full HD monitor and I think I'd do better with a higher resolution. For the distance I'm...

    Vacuum cleaner needed

    Also the base one doesn't have a beater bar which you really need for a non office type carpet. We had a Vax Air Max before (and another Vax before that) which was good but they don't seem to last more than a year or two.

    It's too hot :(

    I agree and if we could sleep with it on I'd have it in the bedroom, although the weight and shape mean it's not really portable.

    It's too hot :(

    I've got a portable unit and it's useless for night time. When the compressor kicks in its too loud to sleep through (much louder than a fan). It will lower the bedroom temp before bed but once it's off the temp rises quite quickly again because warm air flows in from the rest of the house. It...

    House Sale - Un-adopted Road

    I'd suggest asking on the money saving expert forum as you'll likely get more experts on there. The lenders are probably spooked because it's been 4 years with no progress. I suspect they'd expect to either see the roads adopted or a management company appointed. It's not given that the local...

    Weighted Blankets

    One single each. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of my wife's improved sleep was a result of not having me pull the covers off in the night. I get quite hot in bed so it also benefits me in that my wife isn't trying to hug me in a death grip and I can have the cover just over my legs (she...

    Government prosecutes itself (Again). Taxpayers lose, Lawyers win

    Whilst the government have been saying they want to plant trees and it's a vital part of the carbon reduction targets my local council has been going round chopping healthy trees down because they want to avoid situations like this and it's cheaper than having to repeatedly prune them. My...

    Weighted Blankets

    My wife and I both have one (each you aren't supposed to share). When she first got it she had some back pain which is apparently common. She has anxiety and was struggling to get to sleep and this seems to have helped with that. I'm not sure if mine has done anything for me to be honest. It...

    How long do you hold a grudge against online / offline retailers?

    Finally, somewhere to list my grievances! LV - Had an accident in a car park a year after I passed my test, it was probably a 50/50 accident but they kept pressuring me to take responsibility. They repeatedly lost all the forms I sent in and at one point one of the telephone operators put me on...

    Japanese maple leaf tree with no leaves

    I've got 3, 2 are in big pots and the other is in the ground. The two in pots were next to each other, one absolutely thriving but the other has just dropped all its leaves and isn't looking good. No idea why that's happened or how to fix it.

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    Are you using it as a fake picture frame? Oled TVs suffer from burn in so aren't suitable for that sort of use.

    delivery bank holiday confused...

    DPD were not doing deliveries Friday, yesterday and today, open again tomorrow. https://www.dpd.co.uk/content/about_dpd/delivery_schedule.jsp Might be worth an email to the shop, if it were me I'd be annoyed that there wasn't some kind of warning before ordering.

    Anyone else seeing long Royal Mail delays?

    My postie is only coming every couple of days. Parcelforce (the parcel delivery arm) are completely useless and being a bit dishonest about delays and I've had something Sat with them for over a week now.
