  1. I thought she was just a helicopter pilot in it. Do the pilots go through the rigorous drills that the rest do? (Genuinely asking. I suppose it makes sense they would).
  2. My good friend. If you’ll believe it, it’s not actually about you! You do piss me off though
  3. People that watch reality tv needing to announce that they don’t “normally watch this type of thing”. Etc. Tough shit, you like reality tv now! No biggie
  4. Me too. Onto about episode 4 so far. There’s 3 series apparently. It must have only *just* appeared on Netflix?!

    Yeah, it definitely feels like unless you have a product you can sell for a hefty profit then Amazon’s fees are becoming a bit extortionate. Not to mention, most products probably get lost in extremely saturated markets. Also, Amazon’s Seller website is SO complicated. There are tabs upon tabs upon tabs. It’s almost like they overcomplicate it to trip people up and hide fees

    I have an Amazon business (this isn’t a brag. Money wise, I’m down ), and have asked for 800+ of my stock back from them. Each item is around the size of an iPad. In the last week I’ve received boxes of random amounts of stock… 7, 13, 20, 28… On Thursday they put 5 huge boxes outside our front door, blocking us in (door opens outwards). Yesterday a box of ONE came. Even though they still have around another 300 left to send us. Bonkers
  7. Yeah I agree with that, but I’d have thought for the good of your channel, if nothing else, you’d try to keep the sarcastic responses to them to a minimum. Instead a lot of live streams I’ve seen he’ll quickly read out some “X” or “Y” superchats, where he’ll give a quick one word player answer, but then tends to dwell on the negative comments for ages. Just a pet peeve of mine. Not that it makes a difference to me now that I’ve packed it in
  8. Andy LTFPL was the first I really got into, but over time I’ve found him a little tiresome. Every live stream I’ve watched in the last year, I feel like he spent 60% of the time sarcastically or passive aggressively responding to people in the live chat.

    And also, at the weekend, which one of us three *didn’t* have a beer?…. That’s right. @lapal_fan!! The cheek of him. I can drink more than 3 beers. I just become even more of an annoying, wisecracking, piss-taker than I am normally. After beer 4 I’ll throw up though. Coors Light is lethal.
  10. Yeah I like the juice lads. They asked me to go on as a guest a few months back but I couldn’t find the time. Have you seen the magnetic FPL whiteboard they have in the studio? I designed and sell that !
  11. On your latest sentence. I’d really like it if it could, but I just think I’m too prone to fall back into the same routine. I think I’ll try to just stick to playing draft. Draft is so team dependent that there’s really no way of playing other than having a quick 2 minute look once or twice a week.
  12. I had a great start as well tbf, I wildcarded early (GW6) as I had a few fires to put out, and I was between 15k to 150k for the majority of the season until around GW9. I could say it was the hefty drop in rank I saw after that (I think when I deleted I was down to about 500k), but I think that just gave me the nudge to do what I knew I needed to do. I’d say for the last 2 seasons I’ve watched around 10-12 hours of content a week. And not just that, Twitter in general became a bit of an addiction for me. I would literally open my phone and click on Twitter, every time I unlocked my phone. I did all the usual things… deleted Twitter, suspended my account for a bit, put a timer on it etc etc. But even after a 2/3 week break off Twitter, where I was feeling better and more refreshed, I just slipped back into old habits again within a fortnight. I thought about deleting FPL this season and starting again next season. But I think I’ll end up in the same position. I thought about keeping FPL but deleting Twitter, but I know I’ll still be obsessed with planning and watch YouTube. In the end, I just think the game is not for me, unfortunately. Addicted personality problems!
  13. I deleted my FPL team a few weeks ago. I became a bit addicted to the whole thing. YouTube, Twitter, planning. I was sinking way too much time into it. I envy those of you that can play it and keep it casual/ limit your FPL time to an hour or less a week
  14. Rumours around our office started last week that they’ll go from 2 days in the office to 3. We had an ‘ask me anything’ session with a manager last week where the question was asked and she said it is being considered up above (which felt like an easy get out for her). Like you, I expect a large chunk of staff will walk if they make it 3 days. I know it’s not the end of the world, considering we used to do 5 in the office, but 1- the world has changed now, and 2- the negatives of working for this place will start to seriously outweigh the positives if they make 3 office days compulsary.
  15. At first I thought it would ruin it that Ginger and Rocky were recast, but after 5 minutes I didn’t notice.
  16. I enjoyed the first Chicken Run, and have it on DVD still. The kids thought it was fun. But the second one… Boy oh boy. I’d say we’ve watched it between 15-20 times since Christmas. They love it, and I’ve enjoyed it too. It feels a lot more ‘Hollywood’ than the first, better music and I’d say funnier moments too.
  17. The new Chicken Run movie is better than the original. Fight me

    I think 2 of those were butt dials. Sorry about that. The 3rd was probably your mom calling you to ask what time she was cutting your hair
  19. Have we started with the childish nicknames yet? Chris Feck etc The golden era of VT, for me, was when so much creativity was on show, coming up with names like Lamebert and Lamberk. *chefs kiss*
  20. Yesssssss it’s Macron!
  21. I got a ‘game stick lite’ for Christmas. I saw it advertised on Facebook and various other sites that probably listen to me, thought it looked good (albeit too good to be true, so I was fully expecting it to be useless). But it’s actually pretty great. 10,000+ (well, there’s a lot, but I’m not counting!) retro games across MAME, Atari, Snes, Megadrive, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance & PS1. It’s paid for itself in nostalgia already! I’ve sunk a load of time into Micromachines 96, Theme Park, Pang 96, Metal Slug, Donkey Kong, a bunch of classics like Centipede, and a Megadrive game called ‘Zoom’ that I used to play at a family members house and don’t think I’ve seen or even thought of for maybe 25 years.
  22. No, he just always looks like he’s on deaths door
