    I was talking about a mutual friend getting a full upgrade, just waiting on a 3080 and Ryzen 4000 to replace his temp 1080ti and 3700x and she asked if I wanted to upgrade my computer for Christmas. Sounds much nicer than new clothes! I haven't bought a new CPU or GPU since my 2500k in 2011. Sadly, I will also need a new PSU :grin:

    Lucky wotsit, my wife's point of view on tech is a hard-and-fast "if it still works at all, we don't need to (and wont) replace it"; even if she complains about it :/

    My wife gave up on it long ago. I think my friend helped. He went all out on his build, his wife doesn't say anything but refused to show any interested and watched us talk about his computer. My wife decided it is smart to let have his hobby and figures that upgrading my computer would make me happier than more clothes. It helps that our financial situation has changed and we are both working.

    I've had a smile on my face since reading Trump is COVID confirmed. Waiting for some good memes.

    Brother is doing some work on my car, and is also doing a remap on it.

    It should once finished be running somewhere between 240BHP to 340BHP, on a BMW E90 320D.

    Looking forward to getting it back later today and going for a drive :clap:

    He is also if he can getting rid of the centre section of the exhaust, and replacing it with a straight pipe from the DPF to the Back Box, and modding the Back Box so should sound nice as well.

    I have just been out on my bike for the first time in ages. A glorious day - freezing, but clear skies and zero wind, so it was actually really very pleasant out of the shade. Scenery was fantastic (as usual) and the Firth of Forth was like a sheet of glass. Absolutely beautiful.

    And when I got back home, I had an email waiting for me to say that my new bike frame is being prepped for delivery and I should have it with me in the next week or so. Happy days.

    Things actually working.

    Being able to use up all of the very expensive left over crap on a rig that has been sitting around for two years.

    OCUK part refunding me enough to get a whole acrylic side panel cut and edge polished to fit the case.

    I'm glad I didn't get angry today. That's not like me.

    So in the aftermath of the case mod comp and motm win and with no sight of getting back to being a desk jockey, i though I'd try a thing and see where it got me.

    Obviously I'm not expecting anyone here is going to want to pay me to build them a PC :hehe: however if you're on any type of social media and wouldn't mind giving me a follow and a like/share now and then that would be massively appreciated:Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

    Also mockery feedback on the logo and/or pages is welcome :thumb:

    Edit: Now with individual links as RTE decided to splooge them into one for some reason.

    Since I only use Twitter out of those you listed (and very rarely at that), I follow you there now. :thumb:

    There's no apostrophe in "PCs". An apostrophe never pluralises. (You did say you were seeking feedback on the logo!)

    Cheers mate. :thumb: Tried to make it relevant to what is was about and recognisable if I removed the text, but keep it simple. Especially as I was doing it. lol Some of the ones I saw in use ones offered by logo sites just seemed so gaudy.
