These types of articles are designed to stoke or play up to people's fears or prejudice and I suppose some amongst us are more easily manipulated than others 🤪

Yes, definitely the woke advert.
 
Couldn’t possibly be they stopped building Jag’s 6 months ago so don’t have the product to sell.  But I guess that doesn’t fit the anti-woke agenda or make clickbait headlines.

I’m not saying sales haven’t stopped.  I’m saying it’s clickbait as the headline is Jag sales decline after woke ad then article goes on to explain the decline is a trend long before the ‘woke’ advert, dealers not having stock to sell and no new models to drive interest (though there are other factors too).
 
If ‘clickbait’ offends, how about sensationalist then? Why is it a surprise that a company saying we’re going to stop selling these products then has poor sales of said product?  Where’s a shocked pikachu when you need one.
 
There’s something funny about your anecdotal evidence for the numbers of cars when I know precisely how many they are.

That's funny because my local Jag dealership which I pass 10 times a week has a forecourt of about 70 of them and they ain't shifting. There is nothing clickbait about it - their sales have dried up and that's from their own press release. Just because their lines may be stalled doesn't mean there aren't tens of thousands of cars dotted around for sale. 

Well this was expected 
Jaguar Sales Crash 97% After 'Woke' Rebrand! Is This the End of British Luxury?
WWW.IBTIMES.CO.UK Jaguar's European sales tanked to just 49 cars in April 2025 after a divisive rebrand and EV pivot. Can the iconic...  
it’s amazing how normal people could see this happening but corporate marketing executives couldn’t😂
 
49 cars sold in one month globally has to be a record low!

Recently came across Band-maid and quite enjoying it.
 
 

Good afternoon you beautiful people,
 
I don't know when but at some point recently addons (or mods basically) were added to the store so they can be added to realms.  There's whole modpacks on there but to start with, Matt and I decided on a few choice vanilla+ mods.  The mods included are
- Tinkers Construct (a mod that adds many different materials for tools, upgrades and modifiers to tools)
- Storage drawers (these are errr drawers the store stuff - some alternate storage, each draw stores one item but shows the item and single drawers can store a LOT - storage can be increased too)
- Botany pots (pots to grow stuff in, simplifies crop growing and with hopper pots, they will auto-harvest crops too)
- A structure addon that adds buildings to explore out in the world
- A creature addon that adds some new creatures (and variants) to find in different parts of the world.
 
This should work seamlessly for anyone that can connect from whatever device.  For me, the realm showed up automatically for me as I've connected before to the old one.  So hopefully people can get on but any problems and we can sort out an invite link.

It looks like only Matty can do it as the Realm owner so dropped him a message to post a join link.
 
 
Never! It’s nice to be able to crossplay with some mods but Bedrock has a looooong way to go to be on the level of java.  Also you have to buy the addons for Bedrock (the server host does, not all of us) rather just download them.
 
Plus Bedrock is annoying in some respects though I accept this might just be because I’m so used to Java.

Hi
 
I'm Gary, I met @Greboth @Diddums @techno at the motorcycle show

@Greboth I'm thinking of building a small server over the winter to host Minecraft on. Got any idea of specs for hosting modded MC for say six of us? I'd like to combine it with a media server if possible. Currently scouring YT

Halo 3 and the original MW2 was probably my heyday in FPS - young enough to both have the time to play silly hours of it and the reaction time also.  Though the game I was best at, probably a shock to no-one, is Gran Turismo sport.  I've put a lot of time in to other GT games and countless other racing games but GT Spot was the one I probably got the fastest and consistently fast in due to the FG leagues meant I played it the most.

Agreed! Hopefully the announcement means it’ll be out relatively soon rather than GTA style it’ll be 2 years.  As it’d be great to have it for some FG Fridays over Autumn/Winter.

Wreckfest 2 was announced a couple of days ago.  I never got massively in to the first chasing the credits and whatnot but still absolutely love it.  There's no release date and not much other detail on it either except the below
 
"Wreckfest 2 is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, featuring a completely overhauled physics engine for even more realistic destruction, fully customizable cars that you can share with other players and revamped game modes including a brand-new split screen mode"
 
 
@slamminbones time to re-ignite our rivalry 😄

We didn't play enough of the first one, although we played a lot...such a great game, one of my favourites for Friday nights of old 😋

@Grebothdid it ever go away 😆 
Saw the trailer last night funny enough thought of you but this will definitely be picked up.

I'm up for this, it's been a while since killed some zeds.
 
@Chocolateboy Do you want to join from the beginning this time?

Had a couple of hours last night, died a few times and got evicted by Americans. The game looks a million times better, but my poor little GPU feels it. Might hafta turn the quality down a bit. booo. 
 
It feels much more in depth and grown up,  and I'm looking forward to getting pissed tonight and getting stuck in again.
