My girlfriend got a job after losing her old one because of the pandemic. I am so ridiculously proud of her and happy for her.
Also, tomorrow I will be going to a big international match (excluding Malawi Leopards of course) for the first time in more than 5 years. I am so excited I could burst.

Portugal vs. Japan will be a banger!! Congrats to your girlfriend btw : )

Yooo checking in on my break at the pub again. I’ve managed to get Fox 506 going on the big tv, so it’s MotoGP and F1 all night! I finish at 3, so hopefully it’s quiet enough by then that I can clean while watching the F1

It is really only sinking in that it's Vale's final weekend... big sad!

Been pretty busy all week and just seen the news about AJ going to Bristol. Currently searching for the nearest cliff to jump off.

I hear there are some nice ones in Dover

Been working my arse off trying to get results for some of our collaborators, was supposed to be finished last week but it's been proving so difficult I'm not even sure I'll be finished today. Also my mate very selfishly decided that it's his birthday tomorrow so I'll be missing all the rugby

Gonny see my da for the first time in a few months tonight and tomorrow we’re going to Murrayfield to watch Finn Russel (hopefully) run rings round the springboks and then find a bar to watch Ireland (realllllly hopefully) fucking hammer the All Blacks

Getting home for a bit and seeing my sister who's not been about since last Christmas because she's similarly out of country.
Going to get royally fucking blitzed.
Still no sign of getting an Xbox X, internet not steady enough for an S :(
Any tips?

Any tips?
Cheap PC, Gamepass, and a couple of controllers. Im a big fan of consoles in general, but since most xbox titles are now available on the windows store and the new controllers work with PC it is less necessary to have both.

Won't that essentially be similar to Xbox S, letting their servers do the heavy lifting and essentially streaming it to my PC? Otherwise a PC worthy of playing it would probably work out a bit more than a the console and only just bought a new laptop this year.

Why not use the new laptop?

It's not that well spec'ed in terms of graphics. Good ram and an i7 but it's mostly for side projects. Thing nearly blows up when I try to process video on it.

Hope everyone had a good week! :) Just got back from my first true gym sesh since COVID started.
Been using the communal apartment exercise area until now - it only has dumbbells up to 25kg. I am going to be in such pain tomorrow.

I went climbing for the first time since pre covid this week. Was in pain for 2 days after but it felt so good

It's funny to see F1 fans split on the sprint qualifying/race format that they've used for 2 races so far this season. The split can be narrowed down between the older, traditionalist fans, and the newer fans, who probably got into the sport due to Drive to Survive.
All fans know that the format isn't perfect, but it seems to me that the new fans want to keep the sprint (with tweaks,) while the old fans want it gone completely.
IMO, after being to the Canadian GP in 2019, the Friday was a pretty dull affair. Yes, there's FP1 & 2, as well as some other races, but nothing really mattered. I would have loved to see a sprint race (F2 wasn't happening that weekend,) because then there would have been some tension on the Friday. A close battle between Hamilton & Vettel all weekend? Yes, please!

Can anybody confirm I'm right in thinking the last time The Wallabies beat England was that horror show WC 2015 group game? Is Eddie Jones really 100% against Australia? That's mental!
You mean the best game that's ever happened ever? ;)
(kidding, of course)
Guess he knows them better than most.
Plus its longer than that. That game was cancelled along with the rest of the 2015 rwc
