I was thinking it seems quieter than usual and that's not a positive thing. @SirBalon creates debate and is fundamental to the forum whether he's your cup of tea or not.

...Dan 758 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 @Dr. Gonzo how do you survive in America without smashing your TV? Watching NBCSN football streams has given me a taste of life in America...I thought the "these are real people, not actors, OMG CHEVY" adverts were annoying (I actually mute the TV every time they come on), but I've just seen the exact same Verizon advert four times in one commercial break...and probably about 15 times so far today.

Oh those fucking Chevy adverts are unbearable. If I ever see that irritating cunt who's in them in real life, I'm gonna smash his fucking head in. Normally I do other shit at half time so I don't have to watch any of that. But generally speaking, I legitimately don't know how I survive in America without smashing my tv - that's a good question, the ads are the fucking worst in America. If you think it's bad for football, give watching sports that are actually popular in America a go. Those sports have been made easy to break up for adverts, so you get an insane amount of them throughout the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,100 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @Berserker what sort of cuias do you use? looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/Balibetov-Handmade-original-Including-Bombilla/dp/B01CNWZPGQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 but I'm put off from some reviews but I can't tell if it is because they didn't cure it properly.

Yeah these are the most common but you have to cure it the first time and you always have to clean it and dry it so it's not the most comfy one, i've been using one similar to the one to the left on this picture for years and it's worked wonders, you don't have to do nothing to it, just make sure it's kinda thick so that the outside doesn't gets too hot.

Cheers, dude. I was concerned about buying a gourd mainly because I'm not living alone at the moment and I'm scared someone (the alzheimer's lady) might toss it in the dishwasher or soak it in soap, while I have it drying. Concerned about the bombilla though, apparently the one it comes with is a bit shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted January 23, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 23, 2019 I wish someone would develop some way of me knowing if it’s snowing or has snowed really bad in other cities. Twitter isn’t reliable and nor is the weather websites or forecasts. I just need to know if I can get to work which is 81 miles away! I don’t want to set off and then be told we can work from home...

Can't you call work and ask before you leave? Or one of your colleagues or whatever? Also I use one app which works for me and I find it extremely accurate for one or two days in advance; it's a paid one and is called Ventusky. They also have a free website. Maybe could be helpful for you too: https://www.ventusky.com/ It shows upcoming snow and current snow cover as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have I not heard of that app before?! Yeah I don't know why it's not more popular... I tried a lot of weather apps and services before but none were even remotely accurate... And then I found this one when I was looking for an accurate model for the storm Pabuk that recently hit my area and was really surprised by how accurate their radar and prediction model was. Have been using it since then and bought the app as well; the rain predictions for my area are spot on (and that's what I'm mostly looking for especially for the rainy season) and that's says a lot considering the size of the town I live in. Highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, lol, and the wife is sitting just across from me and if I got a photo like that popping up on this laptop or my phone I would delete it asp because if she saw it she would say "what the fuck is that!!"

I have Adblocker running on mine so don't normally get ads but since having my movie website running I been coming home to notifications running all down the side of my laptop telling me there are women in my area who would love to meet up and have sex etc... I don't mind the ads just fed up of walking endless streets to find empty houses and old couples saying they don't have a clue who Natasha is?? Just as I am typing this one has just popped up in the corner.. where did I leave my house keys?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
