I miss my motorbike. It's been in the shop waiting to get something around the spark plugs fixed. =( The car is okay, but it's not quite as fun.

Half the tyres, nearly twice the unit cost. Re. Things being under the car... You know they have these ramp things that lift the car up, right?

I do get about 12-15k out of my bike tyres. Pilot Roads FTW.

I hope the horse is okay  According to the story, the horse got caught in some barbed wire (hopefully she'd gone off course, rather than it was wire left by the sabs, because if you're harming the horses to stop the hunt, gently caress you.)

When I was doing IT the umbrella firm just took a flat fee per timesheet they processed.

Jose posted:£64+ a week is a fairly hefty amount Wow, that's gone up. I think it was something like 10 or 15, though this was back in 2005. edit: Though by 2006 they were charging 69 a week, so either they did a massive rate hike, or I was being paid way too much in 2005 and didn't actually pay attention to things like that. And because this is a terrible snipe, have a watercolour doodle of a WW2 pillbox that's fallen down a cliff.

The Dark Souls boardgame is okay, but it needs tweaking to be less random equipment wise and grindy. That said, I'm going to be selling my copy as soon as I can be bothered to photograph it, because it's not really what I wanted from a DS game.

Does anyone have a good list of things to put in a one person Brexit-box?

Okay, fine, guess I'll starve instead of trying to plan.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

goddamnedtwisto posted:Fruities have to pay out a certain percentage of takings, quiz machines (and other games of skill rather than chance) don't. As long as the questions were pitched at just the right level so people thought they were in with a chance, the margins are way, way higher, but as others have pointed out smartphones kinda kill that model. I amazed my friends once by winning £10 or 15 on a Who wants to be a millionaire machine

Sanitary Naptime posted:I blitzed through in think the second potter book in a couple of days on a holiday and the only other thing I had available to me was my dads copy of Night Watch. Hooked from that point on. I read Potter late (started reading Discworld at 13 thanks to our 3rd year English teacher introducing me to the books), and thought the first three books were pretty decent children's books, but after that they just got lazier and lazier, with less and less active editing in view.
