    *** The Elder Scrolls 5 - Skyrim Official Thread ***

    Got this on PS3 and while the gameplay is awesome, the framerate is terrible and it's crashed on me at least 6 times since I got it on Wednesday. I've burned out playing it for now

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    I've been fascinated by reading this thread the last few days. I thought espresso was effectively just thick instant coffee. I've never liked "normal" brews from a kettle, instant coffee with milk. But I love a nice latte or the stuff from italian restaurants. Now very tempted to pick up an...

    £800 where would you go on holiday?

    I've been to Amsterdam like 5 times and didn't overly enjoy any of them. Croatia however is amazing. I just spent 3 weeks around Europe (Budapest, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Zagreb) and Split was the the nicest place in Europe I've ever been. Hot women, cheap and amazing food, good nightlife...

    Thailand or Japan for a holiday

    Can't remember where we stayed in Koh Samui but it was beach huts. Awesome atmosphere and we hired scooters to have random adventures on the island. Everything in life is easy in Thailand. Food is abundant, people are chilled out and friendly, everyone helps everyone and there's no theft...

    Thailand or Japan for a holiday

    Was in Thailand at Christmas and New Year and it was amazing. Phuket was a bit over-touristy and but if you're looking for a paradise there are less known islands like Raya Island (short boat trip) around. Koh Samui is a total dream world. I'm fighting the urge to just go back this year. Koh...

    Terraria - Dig, fight, explore, build

    hmm sounds like that's me done then... no interest in building things that aren't functional. I still find the deep jungle dungeons quite challenging but I'm not getting anything out of them? only thing I lack for the big sword is the random chest drop weapon but I'm not that interested in...

    3 week holiday - eastern europe?

    Yo, Friend and I (mid 20s) are looking at taking a 3 week holiday in Eastern Europe this summer. We've played around with some ideas and wiki'd some places and haven't managed to come up with anything decisive yet. What I'd like for the trip; Plenty to do and see Nightlife with...

    Is there a mega wake up alarm app for the iPhone?

    An app called Sleep Cycle. Highly recommend it, you place it on your mattress next to your pillow and it tracks your movement, waking you up when you aren't in deep REM sleep... feels a lot more natural It's not free but it's worth it, even shows a graph of how well you slept!

    The Weeknd

    Anyone listened to The Weeknd? New artist, free mixtape was released a couple of months ago... http://the-weeknd.com/ It's very intoxicating and dark, not normally my thing but I've been playing the album on repeat ever since. Listen to "High For This" and "House of Balloons / Glass...

    New car ideas!

    Fair one, it is easy to fall into doing it "for the sake of it." it's a big step taking out finance from just straight up cash as well. I don't HAVE to spend £15k+ if there are any other ideas floating around Why would you rather have the Golf? cheers

    Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTi SRi [160] 5dr VXR Pack for £17,300. What do you reckon? Can get a Golf GT TDi for £17,799, but I can't talk myself into buying a newer version of the same car

    New car ideas!

    Maybe I made it sound more complicated than it is. There's a military discount and a tax-free discount. Renault Megane 2.0 T 16V Renaultsport 250 Cup 3dr is £16,750.

    New car ideas!

    Maybe it's 20%. I just compared a tax free offer to autotrader on one car. £17,500 and £25,500 I'm not sure how it works, there's "tax paid" where you still pay VAT for UK serving members and "tax free" for people in Germany

    New car ideas!

    I'm currently driving a Golf GT TDI 2001 and looking to upgrade. I love the car but it's seen better days now, clumsy people getting in and kicking and pulling things, electric things stopping working, etc. Before this I drove poo cars. As I'm currently serving in Germany I'm entitled to a tax...

    Stretching does not prevent injury ?

    Being flexible prevents injuries no doubt. But stretching before exercise is a bit pointless, it needs to be part of your daily routine or done after exercise. Mobility has made me both stronger and injury proof (prior to breaking my leg skiing) http://mobilitywod.blogspot.com/ for anyone...
