    Budget second hand all rounder?

    Hey folks, Just wanting some quick advice on a good all-rounder laptop on a second hand budget of around £300? Initially ive been looking at a good old T480, however wondering if there's anything else anyone would recommend, especially as I wouldn't mind doing some low end gaming? Otherwise...

    BBC Gameshow - The Traitors

    Watching Australia S2. What a bunch of insidious whoppers. Ugh. The celebrity aspect is a negative. Feels a lot more like manufactured, plastic reality TV.

    Midjourney - AI art

    I've been doing some (very) initial dabbling into AI generated images. Using various websites, I've been trying to generate accurate representations of classic cars. How come they do such a poor job?? If the car in question is very well known, a classic Mini for example, results can be great...

    YouTube Premium

    So tried to upgrade to family account to get the other half sorted. Unsubscribed from my previous stay in India and am now trying Turkey. Whatever I do I keep getting payment declined. Tried turning VPN on and off at different stages up always fails when the Haliax 'confirming its you' popup...

    IT Operations Engineer

    Not a job I wish to have for life unfortunately, or even the next 12 months if at all possible :) Yes, contact did seem to imply using Linux command prompt to restart servers was one of the more technical tasks to learn.

    IT Operations Engineer

    Hi folks, I'm in my mid 30s and have been teaching at primary level for 10 years. Been looking for a career change and a friend of a friend invited me for an informal chat re the role of IT Operations Engineer at his place of work. IT was not something I'd considered, presume IT would mean a...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Prime)

    Well that was more like it. Been getting a bit stale over the last couple of episode but that was a corker. Action packed but didn't feel cheap or thrills for the sake of thrills, kept tension up and a couple of real squinting out of corner of eye moments. Galadriel felt like a bad ass as...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    So, do we think this is it - that was Russia's game plan? 17 year old with no orders, ambling around aimlessly before running out of fuel. Or is there still a possibility that their main, elite forces are still to come in a second wave? My main worry is if it is the former, could Putin go...

    Reacher - Amazon TV series 2022

    Loved this. Says something when plot sometimes a bit far fetched/cheap but it's well done enough to keep me pretty hooked.

    No Time To Die (now contains spoilers!) Ha

    Watched last night. Good film but not a Bond film.

    The Green Knight (A24)

    Watched this the other night. Really enoyed it. Like the odd nod to the source material- north western accents from belief it's originally based in Cheshire, scenery bob on.

    The OcUK Relationship Counselling and Hugs Thread

    Hi folks - feel odd posting these kind of things on a public forum but struggling with my own thoughts at the moment so here we go! Been married for 4 years. We've known each other for around 6 having met online. I've always been very keen on having children coming from a large family...

    Line of Duty - BBC2

    Well that was pants.

    The Sinner

    Another vote for series 3 being trash. 1st was great, 2nd found to be quite hard going, this new one was just painful. Plot holes and characters doing unbelievable things abound. Were we supposed to have some sort of sympathy for the antagonist or Ambrose at any point in this? Seems to be a...

    Buying advice - lack of certificates and building work

    That's as I thought. Thanks guys. We had a builder in the property an hour or so ago who mentioned indemnity policies which may be worth looking at. But he wasn't overly bothered about lack of building regs for the dorma either. Likewise boiler. Its relatively new and has supposedly been...

    Buying advice - lack of certificates and building work

    Hi folks, Just a few quick questions. We're currently in the process of buying a dorma bungalow. Our mortgage application is being processed and searches and surveys have begun. We've just received an email from our solicitors stating that thus far, no installation certificate for the...

    The Apprentice 2018 (Series 14) - 3rd October

    Well, amazed at who actually got through to the final. Bizarre reasoning. Didn't really like the whole, tearjerker 'lets be nice to the candidates at end of interview'.

    US: Vikings - anyone else watching this ?

    Anybody else think this has taken a massive slide in quality? Convoluted plot that I can't really see going anywhere. New random characters that seem thrown in. No sense of urgency or direction. Gore thrown in for effect. Shame as thus far I've been a huge fan but the last 3 episodes have...

    US: Better Call Saul

    Yeah Kim's reaction at the end was a bit odd, I felt. She'd been down and dirty with 'Slippin Jimmy' for the last 2 episodes and had helped set up his whole interview but then seemed shocked he wasn't 100% sincere? Felt this was a big step towards the Mike of BB. I've heard a few people comment...
