I didn't actually want to say 'crazy,' but since you did.... :-)

Not having a boundary is a big chunk of the fun. I've no idea how far my collection will go, but as long as there's something I like the look of I'll probably be there waiting for a good price and some mad forum where I can talk about it.

11 hours and 12 whatnots...

A rose by any other name still looks like a weirdo cyberhoarder.

Yeah. You and me both on that one. When my list gets cleared, I'll play until something else that's good comes along. Not exactly wanting for choices.

11 hours, 6 minutes. Or, 666 minutes. Or, just count to 39,960.

There's a TV programme here called Gardener's World (yep, its a thrill a minute - for Mrs Stilton), and I'm sure there was a gray-haired old lady on last week with a new rose called the 'Weirdo Cyberhoarder.' Maybe I imagined it.

There's a constant tsunami of games swelling out there, some of them even worth playing. I'd have to find a serious pastime to even half-compete with the interest that wave of digitalia provides. Even variations on variations can turn out interesting.

Hello Lords of The Thread :p

Stayed away last night... there was "a creep who burned me" to quote the lovely H.S. Thompson :) ... meaning someone who borrowed money from me has disappeared after the day the money was supposed to fly back to me... but I'm over it mostly... gotta be careful from now on with my purse... and there's still a slight chance that maybe the debtor will appear someday :)

Anyhow, good morning! I'd offer coffee but it's probably not morning to you ;)
whiskey? :)

If your shieldmaiden is able to sleep when you can't, I think Gardener's World might be a factor in that difference.

There isn't anything that comes out faster that you can get more enjoyment out of. Even a good movie (and those can be very rare things at times) only lasts about 2 hours. I beat a rental game I got today, very short game, and even that was about 4 hours, 15 minutes of entertainment.
Good morning. =)

That's bullshit. Hopefully the person has an attack of decency and pays you back, or at the very least explains honestly why they couldn't at the time.

No worries there. Coffee is a 24 hour beverage. Morning, noon, night, two minutes away from sleep, it's always popular.

How's your day going?

Hi, Santaclops :-)

Sorry you got scorched. Hopefully he/she/it will turn up. I've been there and had some useless arsewipe shaft me for a few quid. If I never see then again it can really feel like money well spent.

And as you're offering a menu, can I have a whiskey, please?

Yeah... At least it wasn't a huge chuck of money.
Alright, *pours hot coffee for Crow and Stilton (who might be almost asleep but never mind)*
Doing okay. Work is a bit samey-samey but I'm actually saving something these days - 17th week of No Beer :)

Howdy! *pours an old Irish Whiskey for Stilton*
That'll either get you up, or help you sleep :P
Yeah... I guess there's a lesson to be learned in all that ...

Old Irish hits the spot :-) Thank you :-)

17 weeks without beer sounds like some kind of sentence. What the hell did you do?

Now that is a serious accomplishment. Way to go. =)

Quick question before I open an entire thread about it, anybody know how to force a phone (LG, Android) to use 4G LTE? I'm in a pretty boondocks-y location at the moment and the phone keeps bouncing between 4G LTE, 4G and 2G. There IS 4G LTE service here (I'm using it now) but the phone seems to want to use the stronger network which is 2G here, which is no good obviously.

I've tried the 4G LTE Switch app but it doesn't work on my phone and most similar apps seem to be just for Samsung phones.

Pulling this from an article, might be useful -

One nice secret feature with most Android phones is they have a hidden menu to select specific network types. For example, the OnePlus can be set to use WCDMA (3G) only, LTE (4G) only or even both, effectively preventing the phone from using 2G, even in areas without 3G or 4G coverage.

To bring up the hidden menu, dial *#*#4636#*#*

Touch “Phone information”, then scroll down to where it says “Set preferred network type:”

Look through the options for ‘WCDMA only’ or ‘LTE/WCDMA’ (if available):

Don’t choose ‘LTE only’ as it may block the ability to make & receive calls. This option might be useful to check for such coverage or if is necessary to use 4G for a large file transfers. Note that Three uses 800MHz (LTE band 20) for 4G in some areas which is not supported by the OnePlus One and some other phones.

On some phones such as the OnePlus One, this hidden network setting must be set each time the phone is powered off or restarted, otherwise it reverts back to automatic 2G/3G/4G selection. When this happens, the hidden network selection needs to be changed to something else (e.g. GSM only) first and then back to the WCDMA or WCDMA/LTE option.

A few manufacturers have disabled the secret menu for some reason. For example, the secret menu is disabled in the lollipop Android release for the LG G2 Mini, but was accessible in its earlier android versions.

Note: If you are on the move, I recommend changing the setting back to allow 2G (GSM) access before heading off, unless you know you get good 3G coverage along the route. Otherwise calls will get cut off once the phone loses 3G coverage as this trick prevents the phone using 2G masts even for calls or texts.

Forum just ate my reply, excellent.

Tried that, it ALMOST worked, but the menu is disabled on my phone. Eh, I'll only be here a few more weeks, my internet DOES work (mostly) and I've got an extra kick in the rear to get to playing all these games I've got started on, life could be worse.

How's life treatin' ya?

It's good at that sometimes. Always fun.

Hmm. Sorry it didn't work. I don't even own a cell phone, so not exactly a bastion of knowledge on the subject.

But like you said, there's a bright side - looking down the barrel of a pile of partially finished games. Good times. -laughs-

Can't complain too much here. Fiddling around online, killing time til the sale starts, singing very very poorly.
How are you doing?

Ah there were many reasons ;)
My wife was getting slowly but steadily enraged.
Was spending too much in bars and getting rather bad hangovers...
I saw it best to take a long break.
Thank you ;)
Probably gonna keep it up until 6 months and then have one or two :)

Or you'll reach that point, grab a pack of your favorite, then say to hell with it.
