Thanks to a lot sweat from Alan, my youngest, we managed to get a 1500mm desk I had into a 1505mm gap. I painted over the marks we left on the walls this morning and it all looks pretty good. Just having a quick go at this keyboard and mouse malarky... Via the FG App

Seems strange u18 having all those mascots...looks like their parents have said they were going shopping and “..take your brother/sister wherever you go and hold their hand all the time” 😂😂 Seriously though, it looks very good and the highlights seem to show it was a very good choice to open with

I’ve been kindly gifted a copy of the original The Division, a shooter whose name escapes me probably because the generous person also included something called Old Man’s Journey! I plan to get Star Citizen quite early on as well. I think that’ll be enough to be going on with especially as I’ll still be on the PS4 with the Destiny group and the days are getting longer and warmer so summer hobbies come back into the reckoning. Any ideas about bargains, humble bundles etc would be welcome though

Did you see this one James? .... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/47685979

Tommy, made me laugh that I’d bought a copy of ‘Custom PC’ magazine in the morning while they were all travelling and posted it on one of our chat threads calling it PC Porn! 😂😂

Ok, so still feeling crap I haul my sorry arse around Sainsburys to get back in time to accept a “hand made” present one of my sons has had made for his girlfriend, he doesn’t want her to find it and also to have a prearranged FaceTime with my other two sons Halfway through the chat, door bell goes...”hang on guys, I’ll just get Alan’s parcel” ”Mr Dowman?” says the guy in pink sunglasses...which match the big pink van, I know someone with a pink van....and who are all these people with phone cameras? That’s Rich and Stretch and DaveyDave...delivery guy takes of sunglasses “Hi Dave”...it’s Diddums....”oh, fuck off, no!” That was my total ungracious response to eight of FG’s finest turning up on my doorstep today to show me how easy it was to build a gaming rig from the parts that you really generous people had sourced. Due to my not being too well, I didn’t think to take any pictures but there must plenty about which will probably go up later Give the lads their due, the build only took about two hours and the results are fantastic. As with every PC, there are a couple of leads to sort out but that will be done by the time my son and I get the desk out of loft and rebuilt. We meet up in town later for a meal which was a blast and a chance for a face to face catch up including Rodd and Nicky who couldn’t get there earlier...and yes, all three of my sons were in on it as well! So thank you again to Dave, DaveyDave, Stretch, Rich, Phil, Lee, Greboth and Gary, all you other wonderful people in whichever way you helped, and thank you Kyla for the hamper! God bless you all.....Dave

Now, if we could just get the coverage back to the BBC......

5 - 0, Sterling hat trick not a bad start to the group matches considering there were injury withdrawals. Some more young players blooded as well. Be interesting to see how they cope with some of the more “challenging” atmospheres in some of the east european grounds

Next up Eng-ger-land! I didn’t realise until I heard the sport section on the news we are hosting the semifinals and final....it would be embarrassing if we didn’t at least qualify for the latter stages

Just finished watching Harry’s Heroes: The Full English a two parter that was on ITV this week...quite a good watch. England Legends team taking on the German Legends

CoD on a phone...I’d never be able to see my gunsight let alone who I’m shooting at! 😂😂

That’s like the inside of an 70’s disco Phil 😂😂

Nice start to the project Dave [emoji106] Via the FG App

Just a cheapy, “Web User” but I fear it’s the first step on a slippery road that leads to the addiction called Subscriber!

Happy birthday one and all!!

OK boys, advice taken and thank you for that...I'll reset the alarms on "The Wedge" !!!

At least you haven't got to worry about flights, hotels, etc....and you've avoided any grief with your better half!! 😂

@Diddums @phil bottle @crispymorgan @The3rdWalker @Spacedeck @Greboth @J4MES OX4D and anyone else How does this look? It came up on hotukdeals yesterday and got a thumbs up https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382373140595?ul_ref=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F710-53481-19255-0%2F1%3Fff3%3D4%26pub%3D5574894536%26toolid%3D10001%26campid%3D5336549684%26customid%3D1732191693%26mpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.co.uk%252Fitm%252F382373140595%26srcrot%3D710-53481-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D1895903146891%26rvr_ts%3D7f47c24c1690a9cc22a5d8e4ffe64dd4&ul_noapp=true I don’t understand the AMD heirarchy (?) so can’t tell where this cpu would fall If I add the OS and tweak the hdd + ssd drive sizes it comes in at £1439. To up the graphics card to a 8Gb RTX 2080 would add £255 - is 8Gb enough or should I be aiming at 11Gb? Any thoughts or recommendations guys? I’ll wait if that’s still the concensus of opinion but, as it was in their daily mail shot, I thought I’d throw it out there. Thanks

Nice but that made my iPad cry! 😂😂
