  1. Books, always. Nothing beats having an actual physical book in your hand. Although having said that, my friend who is partially sighted finds his iPad an invaluable reading aid.
  2. Hi Raul. I've heard of this sort of problem. Where did you install the game? Was it in its own folder on the drive or in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) these two folders have restricted "write" permissions and if your game is saving data during game play it could be causing a conflict with the Windows OS. A comms program I use had a similar problem and the developer tracked the problem down to the program saving data as part of its operations. The problem was solved by installing the program in its own folder outside of C:\Program Files . I hope this helps.
  3. It certainly is. And it doesn't cover damage caused due to temporal displacement.
  4. Not sure about time travel. But I had so much going on this morning and I was so busy I think I almost met myself coming back.
  5. I'd agree with that. Your Name (Kimi no na wa) is a fantastic film, if you haven't watched it yet.. do so! And at present Amazon are offering the Blu-Ray version for the give away price of £5.99
  6. I got a new battery for my DSLR. An uninteresting and boring little black box. But without it several hundred pounds of DSLR is useless.
  7. The Palm of a Tiny Hand : Clannad After Story : No more needs to be said.
  8. "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions" I keep coming back to this series for the simple reason that it's such great fun to watch. It's beautifully drawn and animated, as one would expect from Kyoto Animation, it has an interesting cast of characters with some really good interaction between them. What makes the series so good is that in amongst all the chunibyo craziness there is a serious aspect to the storyline and the writers manage to weave both together into a seamless whole. The series also benefits from a movie that carries on the story and provides a decent closure rather than being a pointless recap of the series.
  9. The sun is shining brightly through my window, not sure what the temperature is, but it looks like it could be a nice day.
  10. I agree, but the trick is finding the answer. (and it's not 42 )
  11. Never get into a car chase with Rally Vincent and her Shelby Cobra.... You'll loose!!
  12. 70. What I'm going to be this year!
  13. What I'm currently reading is not a novel but a fairly thick magazine telling the story of the planning and building of one of London's biggest engineering projects, the recently opened "Elizabeth Line" London's new state of the art railway line.
  14. This is a question I've seen asked on other forums I'm a member of, and nowhere have I seen a conclusive answer. I think one of the problems is that there is a greater tendency for people to be "content consumers" rather than "content creators". Of course, by definition everything on a forum is user created content but I sometimes wonder what the ratio of is between those who just read the forums and those who actually contribute more than just clicking the "like" button. For myself when I comment on a "what are you watching/reading/listening to" topic I try to put more than just the name of the series/manga/song in the hope that it might attract a comment, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I guess none of that really answers your question, but then it's a tricky question to answer.
  15. On the seafront at Minehead in Somerset there are couple of wire cages filled with rocks, what makes these both curious and interesting is that people are attaching padlocks to them. There is a small kiosk a few yards away which, among other things, sells padlocks and judging by the number of padlocks on the four sides of the cages the kiosk is doing good business.
  16. I've recently discovered that one of our TV channels is showing "Department S" one of my favourite series from the late 60s early 70s about a team of Interpol agents who specialise in solving cases that the ordinary law enforcement departments can't.
  17. Yes ,there are those who just love assigning labels to various groups of people. Which, as you say, is often quite needless. People who work in marketing are probably the worst offenders.

    Summer Break

    Thank you. As well as watching anime I've got a couple of hobbies that I can now spend more time on I'm also involved with my local church so I keep fairly busy and don't have time to get bored. I was fortunate to have a job I enjoyed doing, I did it for 48 years so I must have liked it . But I don't miss the daily commute into central London.
