Advice for everyone - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus. You should only leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons: shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home Important These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when…

UK researchers have launched an app to help track the spread of Covid-19 and explore who is most at risk from the disease in an attempt to better understand the pandemic. The free Covid Symptom Tracker app asks users to fill in data including age, sex and postcode as well as questions on existing medical conditions, such as heart disease, asthma and diabetes and whether users take drugs such as immunosuppressants or ibuprofen or use wheelchairs. The app then asks participants to take one minute a day to report on whether they feel healthy and, if not, to answer questions on a wide range of symptoms, from coughs and fever to fatigue, diarrhoea and confusion. …

As we can't really travel at the moment I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the places I've been over the last decade in the hopes that you guys would do the same, the one thing that has changed with covid is the lack of travel, true for others it's much worse so I get that a lot of us have been lucky so far. Pics from Norway, Australia and aushwitz and closer to home Scotland,Wales, IOM and Yorkshire.

Happy New Year everyone. Here's hoping that this year is an improvement! What did you do this NYE? How did 2020 work out? I'm just home listening to My Dying Bridge and trying to get my head around what to do in Terraria. Daughter was sleep when all fireworks started, but she isn't a big fan of the loud noises (luckily they didn't wake her up). So as with any new year that closes in, do you have any resolutions you want to aim for? I did have a few, which I think I'm going to have to scale back to be more realistic. 1. I want to read at least 6 books in the year, one every two months. I did originally plan to make this a book …

Thought it was easier separating it out so people can share pics and stories on what they got up to. And just a heads up, don't feel like you're 'flexing' yourself off, I never think any of you guys and girls do that so share as much as you like. Might give more ideas to birthdays and other Feel Good presents we could do! 😍😎

I've had an iPhone since the iPhone4, through to my current phone iPhone7. Little things have been pissing me off (3.5mm jack gone, shite battery, Apple interference after 2 years, more expensive etc) so looking at getting an Android phone which I haven't had for years, since about the S5 mini I think lol At the moment its between the Samsung S9+ and the Huawei P20 Pro, so was just wondering... What phone do you currently have? What phone manufacturer have you found to be the best?

I'll admit it, we're struggling what to get for our kids. I'm struggling for Hayley to if i'm honest. So can anyone lend me a hand if they've seen some decent fun things on the t'internet please? My kids have also got to the age where a lot of toys just don't cut it anymore (mine are 8 and 11) so any funky ideas wouldn't go a miss. As for myself, I'm thinking of asking for some Blackburn Rovers stuff and some PS5 games like usual but i'm also interested in trying out the new Pulse 3D headset for the PS5 to see if there is an improvement in sound over astros as its specifically designed for it. We'll also look at getting one or two of these for wide…

I've been bit by the outdoor cooking bug pretty hard. I always grilled on occasion, but nothing "special" and maybe 5-10 times a year in total. A few months ago I bought a smoker. That's some game changing shit, right there. It's a combination hobby, science experiment, and art with the result being (usually) very tasty meat. Trying different kinds of wood, different spice mixes, different temperatures and variations...it's all quite enjoyable. I note that as I've gotten older my new hobbies are rather sedate, but here we are. Yesterday I had both the grill AND smoker going at the same time. Note they are both charcoal/wood, no cheating with gas or elec…

I am putting this topic here because although I know this is a Call of Duty thing, we are 1 and not just separated by games. I would also like to include anyone to make recommendations. As some of you may know, Call of Duty Cold War has listed the FG as offensive clan tag. So I want to get some suggestions on how we want to represent ourselves on the new COD platform. The clan tag allows 4 spaces to display your clan tag representation. From what I can decipher, it does not allow FG to be back to back letters. I have not tried different options yet but will as soon as I can. Im assuming there has to be another letter or symbol between the 2 letter…

As most of the old hands know, I'm a cop in the States. I made sergeant last July and left major felony investigations for a street supervisor position. I am basically a front line supervisor to uniformed beat officers. One of the things I do is decide if we're going to force entry into a residence, or if the officer decided to without me if they are justified in doing so. The main reason we force doors without a warrant is because we have probable cause to believe someone is dead or dying inside. Which leads us to this story. The set up is elderly mother reports her son hasn't contacted her for four days, and that he normally comes to her house to show…

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea. As most of you know, I do the odd matched betting now and again, and a side effect of this is that occasionally the bookies want me to get responsibly addicted to their casinos. To do this they'll put a nice little lure on their rods and cast it to my bullshit Gmail account, and today I bit on one of those lures, nice and deep. Today's lure was from Grosvenor Casinos and it came in the form of a £10 bonus to use on their live casino. I'll save you the boring shit but live casino bonuses are always great as you stand the highest chance of making something. To do this, I needed to roll that £10 over 5 times which we always do…

I thought up an interesting idea a few weeks ago to buy a bunch of old Nintendo Power magazines and put them in display cases to mount on a wall in my game room. First magazine came in today and I’m pumped! Certainly not in mint condition but surprisingly it’s in fantastic shape. Goldeneye magazine should be here on Monday. Still trying to figure out which other ones I want. Obviously Mario 64, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong. Probably Mortal Kombat, Star Fox, Tony Hawk......so many to choose from. I’ll update once the final collection is complete and mounted.

I was wondering what's people's general opinion of this cunt? She seems to be getting a lot of flak lately since the lockdown while she's been 'imprisoned' in her mansion. There's been bullying accusations on her show and a generally toxic atmosphere plus people have come out of the woodwork to say what they really think after meeting her. I've personally never understood her popularity - she seems awfully stuck up and her audience seem like screaming lap dogs who worship anything that comes out of her mouth. I've also never bought into her 'be kind' motto when she doesn't seem to give a shit about anyone that isn't being paid the same amount of money as her.…

So I just wanted to announce that I bought myself a High End Gaming PC. Which means that I will be playing all games 99% of the time on it. That goes for Destiny 2 and other games. I hope I can still be part of the Family, even thought you guys all mostly play on console. Needless to say I'm a little bit short on money right now lol so Next paycheck I'll get a Mic so I can join Discord parties regardless and have fun with y'all. Thinking about buying HyperX Quadcast. Blue Yeti Pro.. or Shure SM7B (Really expensive, is it worth it?) Anyone got any experience or suggestions? I also heard a few recordings from streamers who use the Audio-Tec…

Just thought I'd start this topic as I couldn't find another thread to latch onto. So, here's a place for you to recount funny conversations you've had either at work of at home which have given you a laugh. So, while chewing the fat with our office cleaner this morning, he was bemoaning the fact that his missus has had him decorating whenever he has any free time. The conversation went. Me: "How are you doing Ricky?" Cleaner: "The missus is killing me with all this decorating, she's never happy!!" Me: "Yeah I know, the more you give the more they want". Cleaner: "Yeah, but she never says that in bed"…

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I keep a SNES mini in our trailer for stuff to do when camping when it’s raining. The kids recently found SF2 Turbo and they are completely obsessed now. Brings back a lot of good memories for me. My oldest made me look up all the moves for the players. My youngest picks fucking Dhalsim every time and does the long kick shit over and over and over. I can’t beat him without resorting to sho-ryu-kens from deep lol. Technology advanced too far where games like this just don’t appeal anymore, but man those early SF and Mortal Kombat days were something else. I remember sleepover parties with my soccer teammates and …

Ok so I'm opening this thread based off a couple of conversations I've had this week. As you all have probably noticed most people have taken to the garden to spend the holiday funds as lockdown is still upon us. So with being said I'm offering my services for those who are in need of guidance to do with that space out front/back you hope to improve on. For the record I hold a full chemical license, bluebook(chainsaw), member of the IOGG with my HND. Hopefully I should be able to help people out if they need it. Via the FG App

I’m not going to lie to you folks, that’s a huge weight off my mind. I’m glad Stacey was able to put us all on the straight an narrow and give us some perspective. I mean the constant repression of the civil liberties of several races in the world being oppressed is definitely not more important than a disease with a 99.7% recovery rate...... Also, backs matter!

No, I'm not trying to sell you anything, I stand to gain fuck all from this, I'm just an amazing person sharing some love. With my matched betting thing I occasionally get full refund slot offers from them due to their affiliate stuff. I always use them myself, mostly with nothing but we've come out with a few decent wins, £600 being the highest. Anyway, you can only have one account per household so I can't use it, if anyone else wants it let me know.

I don't really know where or how to start with this one so I'm just gonna scribble and hope it makes sense. Let me preface this by saying I'm not on Twitch, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've streamed and I really couldn't give a shit about what others do in their free time, I consider watching other people playing games to be a monumental waste of time. Anyway, occasionally these weird stories leak out of their little petri dish of insane political correctness, attention seeking, mental illness & terminally offended people and this is one such occasion. This was brought to my attention on one of Angry Joe's vids and warranted a deeper look. …

Clearly we all want to know that answer to that random quiz question you'll never ever be asked. I think most of you have got some nuggets of useless crap in between those lugholes. I'll start: In the 1981 hit single from Phil Collins 'In The Air Tonight' it has an iconic drum sequence which is how most people recognise the song. Contrary to most who haven't listened to it a great deal of late, the drum sequence kicks in at 3 minutes 16 seconds; actually not far from the end of the song. Mind. Blown.
