    Creating a Windows Live ID to go back and play some GTAIV ( I forgot my old credentials )

    What in gods name is this, returning either e-mail in use or invalid e-mail for an insane combination of characters and variations. Then even the captcha is impossible, I tried launching my game over thirty minutes ago... How has this not been sent to the deepest depths of hell yet?

    GFWL shut down years ago... which is probably why it won't let you in. Not sure if they ever bothered patching it out of GTA4 like they did with some other games.

    Google XLiveLess.

    There was never an official GFWL removal for GT 4 or any of Rockstar's oter GFWL games like LA Noire, because their official attitude to customer support is **** You. XLiveLess is the safest workaround, or you can try your luck with cracking the game.

    And people wonder why I have never bought a single product from The Windows Store.

    Sad to see Belgium lose, especially in such a lame match (I'm probably not a impartial judge though:p:).
    Also did not appreciate Mbappé's little douchebag move at the end, well-deserved (though meaningless) yellow card there. Would've been nice had the referee added some extra time too.

    Hope England or Croatia wins.

    I'm still salty about this France Ireland situation so I'm hoping England get through and stuff France. for reference.

    As an impartial I thought it was pretty good to be fair, some great play just not the firing on all cylinders finishes.

    It could of easily gone either way. Still no idea how the ref didn't give a blatant free kick when Hazard was brought down outside the box towards the end.

    Edit. Mbeppe, well he's 19 and they were moments off getting to the world cup. I guess I can understand it.

    19 and 92 minutes into a World Cup Semi Final. He must have been puckered so tight it's no surprise he ended up with **** in the brain.

    Do you mean the one where the defender got the ball, or the tackle just after that where the defender got the ball? ;)

    Like others he can sometimes go over easy but he didn't get anything for staying on his feet early in the game.

    Refs have to take some responsibility for that.

    I do it online nowadays.

    Oh and the good lady happily brings me stuff back to try on before 99% of the time taking it back.

    She is a gem.

    The George range from Asda is excellent and pretty much all I wear. Very comfy and looks smart

    I've been having, to quote Borat, 'great success' with Snickers workwear. Their 'Service' line is smart enough to pass muster in offices, wears fairly well so far, and isn't so heavy that your legs are sweaty as at the end of the day. Plus, and this is the first time it's happened to me, their sizing calculator is like.. 90% right. They recommended 156's for me, but 256's have more leg length which is better - The rest of the fit was spot on.
