Something tells me there won't be many paying PC level prices for an older PS3 era port to Android and iOS. However, if you have a Netflix account, you can play for free as part of your subscription. It is pretty good but not worth £39.99 in 2025.

On the democratic front, a petition of 2 million still only equates to about 2.9% of the overall population. Then there are the signatures from outside the UK, which should be deemed invalid and removed from the count. Maybe they should geoblock the site to prevent interference.

🤷‍♂️

Really? Really?...

It doesn't take a genius to work out how to combat this and to make it a working class matter, really?? If you want cheap lunches, make it yourself... Simple!

Ending a survey title with "lads"... 😂

I wonder if the author of this petition got a reality check for something they said/wrote and now wants to ban words... Rather snowflakey, I would say.

There you have it... a Pixel 10 Pro's processor, the Google Tensor G5, being described as "woke". How hardware of a phone has earned the classification of "woke" is beyond me and that the word has been so corrupted that its definition is lost.

Meanwhile on the sewer that is X, Grok tells users that the projection of Trump and Epstein on Windsor Castle was not real and believes its likely a meme created by the Lincoln Project.

There is a lot of this on X... faking the numbers of yesterday "peaceful" protest by "concerned" citizens that broke out into inevitable violence across London.

Who is fuelling these people?

There are quite a few of these and you can tell these people know nothing about the ECHR and believe whatever they see on their Facebook page. They are also too narrow minded to consider that they too could fall victim to the withdrawal from the ECHR and see their own rights disappear.

When it comes to mobile photography, 200MP is just a number with minor detail improvements over 48MP and 50MP. This really isn't a gloat, it's being petty over spec sheet data rather than real world usage. Seems to be rather clear where the tribalism is coming from that carries to their customers.

Glad to see Spigen will sue over this.

Remember that Trump Phone 1 that won't ever exist? Here is their latest "concept" which is a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and within the US flag is the logo of the phone case maker, Spigen.

This reminds me of the Escobar phone 😂🤡

The Minister for Foot Health and Safety has announced that they have blown their own foot off with a First World War Mauser Tankgewehr M1918. When asked for a comment... "I know I am a distraction, despite not wanting to be one, but don't keep talking about my obliterated foot."

Brexit was "won" on lies, cheating and fraud, but I guess that is ok then... I don't recall these same people calling for a new election every time the Tories broke their manifesto promises. Double standards are running wild in these lands.

The rejected petitions can be so amusing sometimes. This one is as ridiculous as those who petition the government to force food outlets to bring back discontinued foods and drinks.

The Order of the White Feather wasn't patriotism; it was moral blackmail and a movement of coercive bullying. This campaign may have shattered more men than any shell ever could. Forgotten today, perhaps, but the fields of France were littered with those falsely labelled cowards.

If you are one of those people who wonders why people don't answer their phones anymore, here is the reason why... It's about time someone did more to cut these scammers off.

If Dover looked like that, it would be a number 1 tourist hotspot, and not somewhere you have to go through to get to the tourist hotspots. As a frequent traveller to Dover, there isn't a grain of sand on those beaches let alone something portrayed in the video.

One of my own photos of Dover.

When something is free, you are the product. This is the permissions required for a fairly basic platform game. I wouldn't put anything like it on my phone if they ask for all that.

Operation Manna.

During the last 10 days of WWII, Lancaster Bombers took part in humanitarian food airdrops over the Netherlands to aid the people who were living in famine during Nazi occupation. They dropped a total of 11,000 tonnes of food before ground forces brought further aid by land.

He died in New York City in 1961, aged 66. He was buried with full military honours in the French War Veterans section of the Flushing Cemetery in New York City. On October 9th 2019, a statue of Bullard was erected and in 2022, he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio.

Bullard was a stranger in his homeland compared to the success and reputation he held in France. In the US, he lived alone in his apartment which was decorated by pictures of famous friends and a framed case of 14 French war medals. His last job was as an elevator operator at the Rockefeller Center.

Photos were captured of the attack upon a French War Veteran who fought in both WWI and WWII and ran successful businesses in Paris. In the United States, his war record counted for nothing, he was not treated as equal and he was denied his basic civil rights owing to Jim Crow laws.

In 1949, a concert by black actor, singer and activist Paul Robeson in Peekskill, New York, to benefit the Civil Rights Congress that ended in violence. They were caused in part by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion, who considered Robeson a communist sympathiser.

He eventually became the owner of another club, L'Escadrille, and his fame was such, that Ernest Hemingway based a minor character on Bullard in his 1926 novel, The Sun also Rises. He opened Bullard's Athletic Club, a gymnasium for boxing, massage, ping pong and hydrotherapy.
