    That was the Remainers objective all along.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Nowhere nearer than three years ago. If anything, further away.

    Oddly my dad is of the opposite opinion and is doing his best to move the main body of his family from Holland to England!

    PC keeps crashing

    Good to hear. The 750 Ti is still a very capable card I'm told so it was unlikely to be that to blame.

    PC keeps crashing

    If it only affects one game then it's a compatibility rather than a performance issue.

    PC keeps crashing

    I'm afraid if leaving the side cover off doesn't work then adding extra fans isn't likely to either. That's deliberate to stop people buying two lower-priced cards instead of one expensive card. If you haven't done so already I strongly suggest removing the heatsink from the CPU and the...

    PC keeps crashing

    TechYesCity recommends just leaving the side of the case off and aiming a room fan at it if necessary. He lives in Australia so is used to high temperatures. Unlikely as graphics cards use VRAM as opposed to ordinary RAM. Yes, you can get fans that have a Molex connector but you won't be able...

    A school friend giving up his season ticket seat in the Sky Blue Stand so he could join me down on the terrace.

    Favourite football ground that no longer exists (excluding HR)

    Burnden Park, for no other reason that it was a regular sight when entering or leaving Bolton by train.

    Things that annoy you

    My dentist takes the opportunity to lecture me on all the things I can and can't do after I leave the surgery: "No alcohol for three days". Yeah right, as if that's ever going to happen!

    Tories plan to raise retirement age to 75

    In theory yes. In practice most new pensioners receive less than that.The Department for Work and Pensions says the average weekly sum being paid to people eligible for the new State pension is £154.70. 37% of pensioners claiming under the new system are receiving less than £150 a week. Will...

    To paraphrase Napoleon...

    Napoleon [is alleged to have] said "I would rather have lucky generals than good ones". I feel the same way about players and you don't get much luckier than that.

    Excellent free sports TV!

    There's a version of Freesports on Freeview but it's nothing like HD quality, not even DVD quality. The Freesat version is full HD though...

    The Expanse (tv show)

    Watched the first season and thought it was as depressing as fuck.

    Film Thread 2019

    Alita:Battle Angel is a reasonably enjoyable way of spending a couple of hours. As usual for this type of film the storyline plays second fiddle to the visual effects. Best viewed on a big screen in 4K or 3D. The Honest Trailer sells it better than the official trailer:

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Nah, it will be for just six months and 'absolutely final' (until the next one).

    You're assuming anything is going to happen on 1st November, I'm not. It's most likely there'll be another extension.

    A Bolton Wanderers question

    It was one of the last which is why we bought a ticket to Bury rather than somewhere more interesting. The Wanderer's stadium was next to Bolton station in those days and Horwich - where the current 'Bolton' stadium is located - was the former headquarters of the Lancashire and Yorkshire...
