true but ..show a little heart!

Agreed

Save your energy for more positive things. Some people are not worth the time! Personally I thought this film was incredible. A real taste of the life and personalities of a just a few people and their real struggles. It really gave you a sense of what it was like to go from everyday life to suddenly being on a new adventure and the harsh reality of that adventure mixed in with some real underlying human elements on both sides. I thought it did an amazing job to highlight the perils and pointlessness of war. Of course not pointless when you have no option, but if nothing else it really shows that war should be avoided at all costs.

Thanks, appreciated watching that

Because I was justifying my comment and not yours!! I am ex military, served in a few ropey places and in a different time would have been there, as would many of us. You have the choice to do as you wish as many have earnt that right for all of us. I have the right to say that you stating a lack of interest ticks me off and chose to exercise it and stand by it. Hopefully you used the time around the centenary of the end of WW1 to do something much more constructive - watch a film, play a computer game or similar. Most of those in the programme never had the opportunity to do anything else apart from go to war and not return. My Great Grandfather was there, maybe appeared in the films but I will never know as no photographs available to my knowledge. Paid my respects when I visited the military cemetery in France earlier this year on the 100th anniversary of his passing due to gun shot wounds.

Got bored tbf. Didnt fancy going to the Council House anyway RRTR

Can’t argue with that, tried to go through TicketmasterUK to avoid it but it just takes you straight back to the original one.

That has to be the worst website ever. Ive opened a bank account quicker. RFL/SL not a scooby.

Rugby league lol

Went when it was Anfield 2 years ago got our tickets off groupon or something like that, will keep a eye on them closer to the time

In terms of direct comparisons, I was comparing the iTunes 4K HDR stream of Alien Covenant against the Blu-ray last night. The sharpness of the iTunes steam was significantly better, as you would expect, and general colour tones were too (WCG and HDR will no doubt help here). In terms of artefacts, there wasn't really anything noticeable on either - at normal viewing distances there would be nothing of any relevance at all. At the end of the day, both look very, very good. It's not the sharpness that swings it for the iTunes stream though, it's HDR, which is far more important to the overall picture quality.

My last TV was a Panasonic plasma St30 ha,

Well that is a coincidence! I have the same panel and yes the upscaling is excellent! Interestingily, I still I find the blu ray disc on my 1080p Panny plasma better quality than 4k netflix streams (dark room) than on the Sony (at closer distances) so I don't think it is that obvious. Both screens are isfc. Quality isn't only defined by resolution. Higher resolution with lower bitrates and no HDR doesn't always equate to better quality than a blu ray disc even with the narrower colour gamut. Just stating what I've observed for 1080p blu ray discs.

I have a Sony XE95 55in 4ktv which has one of the best upscaling on the market, I did say that I compared the 1080p disc against 4k Netflix and Netflix was obviously better, this was in reply to someone erroneously saying blu ray (which to me means 1080p) was better than 4k Netflix, later I found out they meant UHD discs (4k blu ray) were better than 4k Netflix (of course) It was a misunderstanding of terms.

Yea, how unthoughtful of me. Silly mistake. 4 sides of roughly 2m30sec songs. So worth it...... (y) Maybe the CD instead as it can be had for much less.

It's a Who double album for under a tenner. Have a word with yourself.

mine arrived today , unsealed which isn't a big issue but a clear visible mark on one of the discs is an issue not impressed with amazon on this occasion

for some reason mine's coming from amazon france ,this does happen occasionally

Who?

To be fair the licence fee was created when their was no other form of entertainment available. We now live in a time where we have 100's of channels & On Demand streaming of video content. Their is plenty of content available to watch now and it's about time the BBC was modernised and left to fend for itself on it's own two feet.Their is no real justification i can see for a licence fee to be needed in this day and age.

Yes it is for people who can't afford it, and when it's back up by courts and bailiffs. It is an anachronism which has long past its time, and it should now be a voluntary fee not a compusory tax for owning a TV.

£150.50 is rapacious? Get a grip (lol)

From what I've read the £100M investment hoard generates a return of around £2-£3 million a year meaning it would take just over 30 years to make another £100M which is not worth it to me. They should be spending it now the amount of money they receive every year from the appeal is more than enough without having to hold back money to invest.

I'm sure it was either Children in Need or Comic Relief that were found to be using donated money to invest in other companies, some were questionable e.g. tobacco companies. People give money exepecting it to be used for a good cause not to fund investments in other compnaies. I avoid donating to big charities now prefer to give money to local causes where i can see the money being used properly.

Thanks managed to get some. Will attempt to grow

Great for the kids :)

Nice one, Boz. Thank you, sir.

Thanks Boz..

Great post! Thank you very much (y)

Thanks Boz...Rock on 🎧🎵🎶🎹💿

Great to see that my first deal posting generated a healthy amount of heat and is still trickling in a few days on :) . My blu ray pack arrived today. Hopefully those of you that bought it are happy with your purchase. Happy viewing 😁 PS: It's still available from Amazon at this price (but subject to change at any time of course)... Just remember to choose Amazon as the seller to secure it at the deal price.

Exactly! Will probably take a week or so for the product to come back in stock....but they will honour the price if you buy before it changes.

Can also see 4.74 but it’s out of stock. Still allowed to place an order so hopefully it gets delivered. Thanks

Hi chinesoul, the Amazon description indicates it's All regions for the Blu-ray version. Region 2 applies to the DVD version.

A poor attempt at British humour full of dry wit and satire. Just like this comment. :{

Baldrick! I have a Cunning plan!

How can you even compare Blackadder with that egotistical piece of self love called the Office?

This is not the complete set. No Back and Forth or The Cavalier Years

Worth every penny! If it weren't for this, I don't think we would've got the likes of the Office and Partridge.

Nice, but an early 6am start though! Better set the alarm.

Regarding the delay - pause your TV until the two are in sync. I've been sharing the PSVR during matches with my son. He prefers the main stand view to see the overall tactics, while I hop behind the goals and have the floating TV screen when the action moves further away. It's great fun. Definitely the future for sports broadcasts. So many ways it will undoubtedly improve. Better resolution, more choice of seats in the stadium. How about player/referee cams? 8) It will almost certainly become a ppv service. I expect we will be buying tickets for virtual seats in the future.

I was sat on the sofa. Just restart the app. That's what I did. It's hardly worth it though. It is very blurry and you're very far away. You can see the whole pitch, but you can't tell which player is on the ball really unless you know exactly how they run and what position they go to at all times. Hahaha! I did watch the first Kane goal from behind the Tunisian goal though. That was quite cool.

If you could be sat closer to the action it'd be better...too far away with how it is now and sat behind the goal is only good for things like penalties

Haters gonna hate...

Hmm I don't think they cover the Palistinian conflict with any justice... But I guess that's only me who doesn't know any better SMH

Sounds pretty grim, I can appreciate why you'd walk away with that opinion. You'd likely find it a more pleasant experience using your own HMD in a home environment. Sweating is an issue in particularly active games (e.g. Audioshield, Beat Saber, Box VR) but in many titles I can easily spend upwards of 6 hours without discomfort. I don't think it will go the same way as 3D as the interactivity and immersion is already so far beyond what is possible with a traditional display. I'm very positive about the future of VR and It should gain new fans as the technology evolves and improves.

Strangely the HUKD thread that mentions only the PSVR app is hotter then this thread for all the ops.

Unless I can watch it like if I was in the stands, I don’t care

Which VR headset and game did you try (shock) I own a Oculus rift CV1 I don't get any headaches Its only gets hot when you move around too much Maybe they didn't set it up correctly or was using a old headset?

Can't see the point in VR for a football match but VR works amazingly well for some games like sim racing.

You don't have to use one if you don't want too. This is just for folk who may want to try it and aren't Pringle fans and use butter only.

Actually, I correct myself, magnet button doesn't work with my Motorola. Down to my Motorola.

I better get the glue, empty pringles tubes, jam jars and an empty margarine tub and get one made...

Thanks for ostsing

Okay so England to beat Belgium in the third place play-off, still much better than I thought we'd ever do at the start of the tournament.

Do you have a link or something to print this

By they you mean Panama right!!

There's definitely going to be some 'takers' who will buy it, right?. (Not that I agree with it). But they know what they're doing ...

You could print of the version listed as A2 on A3 paper. This would get the final stuck-together version in A1 size.

A paper book is definitely better in my opinion too, but you can't really grumble with the Kindle one for 99p. ;)

Great price but cAn’t help thinking cooking is something where a paper book is better as it won’t go into screensaver mode every few minutes.
