It was an old fence, and from the looks of it the posts were rotting away which probably weaken it.

All the trains got cancelled so I had to borrow a pool car from work to be able to get home! On the plus side it meant I didn't have to ride my bike home coz that would've been scary!

Thankfully my boss let me WFH today so I didn't have to drive in that awful weather. I go to the gym in the mornings so my walk there was fine as the winds didn't pick up until after 10amish.
The neighbours fence fell unsurpisingly (old and has fallen before) and a few ceramic things the garden smashed but overall it's fine. Thankfully no powercuts or other issues, just very windy and noisy.

My neighbour's gazebo looked akin to the millennium dome by the evening, but other than that not much exciting things occurred.

One of my customers didn't get their shopping because 3 different routes to their village was blocked by downed trees! Plenty of branches on the road and a few trees blocking half the road, but only one other fully blocked road which, although fairly lengthy, I could detour around.
The worst bit was driving along the A30 from Stockbridge towards Salisbury where it's fairly high and there's a section with just fields either side, so really exposed. Has to slow right down.

started buying music CDs again recently and i'm quickly beginning to remember why i slowed down and stopped towards the end of the 00s, America/Japan exclusive tracks are the devil, atleast back then i could usually buy a single and get the tracks on a b-side but now it's all or nothing

That looks utterly delicious, I just managed to refrain from making a joke about the number being funny after thinking that that might be a bit weird cuz he's ur dad
Have you both tried the cake yet? If so what's the verdict? I'm sure Mary Berry would give top marks for presentation at any rate, and I hope he has a lovely birthday and you get to enjoy spending it with him. I can't really bake and my mum has quite specific dietary needs but I do try to make her a card each year

So i've had a slice of the cake i made and i must say i did a good job. It was delicious. I put specuulos spice in the sponge which helps off set the sweetness of the icing. (Specuulos is a spice they use in the spice biscuits you can get at christmas from places like Lidl)

Hey question for the crowd. Been looking to sell my PS4 since I have had a PS5 for over a year but was being lazy. But it occured to me, could I hack it to be a region free player similar to the PS3? I've done some digging but there is precious little when it comes to what PS4 custom firmware can do so I thought I would ask to see if anyone knows?

Ticket prices for concerts are wild nowadays (especially at arenas). I used to go to loads of concerts, but I just don't think they're worth the money now.
Once you add up the cost of the actual ticket, all the random fees that get added on, the price of drinks (even soft drinks) and the cost of transport/parking (then about £35 for a t-shirt if you want), it all makes a very expensive night out.
Then if you're at an arena show, you could spend most of the night watching someone on a screen (depending on what kind of seats you've got).
If people can afford all this and enjoy it, cool - but most of it is just too expensive for me now.

Yeah it's a lot. Tool tickets are £100 for the worst seats in the arena. I like Tool, but I don't like them that much.
However, there are a lot of bands that are affordable tickets. I have seen bands that in indie circles are very highly regarded for £10 a ticket. I am seeing a German metal band called Ruins of Beverast for one of their very few UK shows ever for only £20, and this band is highly regarded.
Tricot, travelled all the way from Japan, are playing walking distance from my house, and it is £15.
The big names know they can charge a mint and get away with it, but there are still a lot of lesser known but equally impressive bands that will not do that.

The last live concert I went to was in 2017, to see Jean Michel Jarre on his Electronica Tour, in Philadelphia. We paid $550 US for just a pair of tickets, but they were well worth the cash - front row seats only 20 feet from his laser harp. Wow, what an experience!
