  1. Forza Horizon 4. There seems to be less storyline than in previous games, and no real goals, which is weird, it's just driving for driving's sake. Also in 1 & 2 the races were set up so you had to try and master a wide range of cars, in this game you could finish it with just 2 or 3 cars if you wanted because it lets you pick what you want to use before every race. The driving is as fun as ever though and some of the side missions are good. Racing around the streets of Edinburgh is novel too. They've recreated Princess Street pretty accurately, there's even trams.

    Your current read?

    Recent reads: "The Longest River" by Hildred Billings "Dead Girls Can't Lie" by Carys Jones "You Let Me In" by Lucy Clarke. "The Colour Of Magic" by Terry Pratchett. "You Let Me In" was the pick of them. A modern psychological thriller that manages to keep you guessing to the end. Tore through that one. Currently chipping away at "The Waste Lands" by Stephen King, the third book in the Dark Tower series but I just can't seem to get going with it. Also slowly working through "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand, which is excellent but long and I'm not really finding much time to read at the moment.
  3. I presume you're talking about Shayna Baszler. She's a former MMA fighter, EX-UFC. She'd fuck you up.
  4. Yes another one. They have a fucking ten year deal with the Saudis. Surprising for a company that makes such a huge deal of its philanthropy to get in bed with the Saudis but I guess money talks. No women again, and all the old farts wheeled out, DX v Undertaker and Kane, Kurt Angle, Hulk Hogan rumoured. They're under pressure to cancel this one though on the back of that dead journalist. They're having a women-only PPV next month to make up for it.
  5. Allegedly he also asked for The Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna, and that's why they had a random sumo wrestler at the last one... Because he looked a bit like Yokozuna. You couldn't make this up.
  6. It's for the uocoming show in Saudi Arabia. The Prince there is paying them $10m to come and do a PPV there and gave them a list of all the wrestlers he wanted... But he hasn't watched wrestling since the attitude era and half the people on the list are dead. Shawn Michaels is getting $1m for one match.
  7. I think I've met my landlord twice, I've lived in this house 7 years. He only lives an hour or so down the road as well. Suits me fine tbh. When anything breaks he tells me just to get it fixed and take it off the rent.
  8. Also Killer Legends, a Netflix doc where a guy investigates the source of urban legends involving murder to if there's any truth to them. It sounds good but it isn't.
  9. Irish Examiner: Passenger taken off flight after refusing to fly without 'emotional support squirrel'. http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/world/passenger-taken-off-flight-after-refusing-to-fly-without-emotional-support-squirrel-874921.html
  10. Sounds like someone's ready to take it to the Matthews Bridge.
  11. I have a memory card loaded with ROMs on my DS, but it only plays DS games.
  12. Come the end of days it'll just be me, you, Soda Jerk and 100 bots.
  13. My phone is on silent 99% of the time, I don't even know what my ringtone is. I don't know why there's so much spam. Plus, my phone rings about once a month because who actually phones people? Yuck.
  14. Sounds like The Elizabethan (aka The Lizzy to the initiated), although I've never heard of bands playing there. Was it next door to a Chinese and the Fire Station?
  15. The Swanny, Fish n Things, ETs (even with the manky red sauce), The Grill, all excellent chippers. Fish n Things was our regular hangout age 13/14 because they had one of those arcade machines with 6 games on it, (including Final Fight and Wrestlemania), a 5p bandit, and hot dogs for £1.
  16. The Leisure Centre? I played a hilarious gig there a few years ago.
  17. Many of these worst gig anecdotes begin with "I was so pished". It's almost like there's a lesson there
  18. I can confirm Zanre's is now Kobani Chicken.
  19. I'm as guilty as anyone of giving the Broch a hard time but it honestly was a brilliant place to grow up. It just makes me sad to see the state its in now. Rows and rows of boarded up shops, deserted town centre, maybe 2 good pubs (and that's being generous since one of them is a Wetherspoons), 0 good restaurants, the beach, arguably the Broch best asset, totally empty with nothing but one shit cafe on the promenade. But how do you fix it? There's nothing there, but any time anyone opens something new it just goes out of business again. It gets almost no visitors; because of its location right on the North East tip it isn't really on the road to anywhere or between any two places. Anyone going north can just go from Aberdeen toward Inverness and miss the Broch by about 60 miles. The only reason anyone would be heading for the Broch is if they're actually going to the Broch, and why would anyone be going to the Broch? There's fuck all there. It's a shame it's so cut off because it's actually quite an attractive town, it's just fucking dead now. Fraserburgh is every small town in every Springsteen song. Your options are either get out while you're young or work in a factory forever. Tramps like us, Broonbreed we were born to run.
