    Dune: Part 2 (2024)

    The Pcturehouse Central has a 70mm showing but doesn't have an IMAX. Would it be better to just go for the standard 35mm if you're not watching on an IMAX? What's the difference / point of watching the 70mm on a standard screen?

    Renting a place inside the walls of York for a few days with friends and just trying to sort out some restaurant ideas and food. Currently suggested are Skosh, Melton's and Le Cochon Aveugle They seem ok but for whatever reason I'm not overly tempted. Anything slightly off the beaten track? I...

    Six years since last proper upgrade - £500 budget

    A friend has asked me to investigate upgrading his pc. He says he wants to play Black Ops at high gfx settings but his pc can only currently handle medium. He did say he's trying to run it at the maximum resolution too! Is it a gfx card upgrade / base system upgrade or both that's needed...

    Billingsgate fish market - which cafe?

    I visited Billingsgate Fish market this morning. It turns out that one of the cafes has shut. Piggy's is still there....but I think it's not Piggy's in the video above. They had wooden tables in the video but the one I visited had proper plastic Wimpy tables. I did have a pretty tasty smoked...

    Billingsgate fish market - which cafe?

    yep, I like that idea. That Hawksmoor visit....I was thinking of doing that some time but it's only during the week....don't think I can manage that, even between two, just before a day of work. I'd be in a food coma before I even start.

    Billingsgate fish market - which cafe?

    I was looking at visiting Billingsgate fish market and saw that there's two cafes. Anyone have any idea which is best for a fresh fish meal at 6 in the morning!?

    Switching from BT to plus.net - worth it?

    I've actually gone and switched to POP. They have some horrific Trustpilot reviews but my gut feeling says that most of those are nutters. POP customer support really does try to respond to them but I get the impression the complainers just want a moan. Anyway, the die is cast.

    Switching from BT to plus.net - worth it?

    I changed to Plusnet after BeBroadband were taken over by Sky. On Be I used to get around 1.8MB downloads but this dropped to 1.4-1.5 with plusnet. I actually received my Plusnet bill today and I was charged just under £35 for broadband and anytime phone which I decided was too much and why I...
