ALAN's made a sales blunder again!

Really he promote this during the summer when the temperature is high, not in the winter when the temperature is cold.

But his loss is your gain, as you can get one of the nicest and bestest games ever well-cheap.

Yeah. I appreciate that yours was true, but I didn't have a proper example of my own to share :)

I have my good and bad days, but sometimes it just aligns with my technique. I never get "flawless" because I use auto-tick.

I'm getting adverts for a very specific bus route in Bristol (the number 36). Which is both too targeted, and also absolutely no use to me as I don't live on the 36 bus route.

I hope this is something I can blame on AI.

Earlier on at Monument a man darted out between traffic and was inches away from being splattered by a double decker bus. The dozens of people at the pedestrian crossing - to a person - said "fuckin' hell" and I haven't felt that level of national pride since 2012.

I keep seeing this thumbnail and thinking it's a video where Edgar Wright says something like, "Michael Wood Services after a big hotel breakfast and a long drive, the relief was immense"

Maybe it assumes you brought your own receipt, which is why you rejected their kind offer of one.

Presumably at some point it was called "The Great British Cast Off" but for various reasons they didn't do that but they clung on hard to the memory

Mindset, a puzzle so pure it would work in a newspaper, is now in a newspaper. The Observer started running it today.

Cat for scale.

You spend years trying to establish your reputation as "the jock" of the UK games industry and it's all ruined in a single afternoon of wholesome biscuit decorating!

@jonbois.bsky.social I have an NFL question: Scott Hanson always refers to the "BLUE Medical Tent" implying the existence of other medical tents of different colours for other purposes. Is there - for example - an orange medical tent players go to when their feelings are hurt?
