I filmed a 10 second video clip of a video game whilst my phone was in 1 hand and my Xbox controller was in the other.
Sorry Spielberg

You want an XBox360? I got one…never use it.
The CD drive doesnt eject sometimes but its a common problem…theres a fix online where you stick a pin or screwdriver in and it’ll pop open.
Or, you can replace the rubber band which goes between the drive motor and the tray and it’ll be good as new. Takes ten mins but I can’t be arsed.
If you want to pay for the shipping, I’ll just send it to you.
No games, tho.
Maaaaate that would be so sick. I will just buy Skate and leave that disc in there haha! I will fire you a message on insta tomorrow fella. Legend.
Fuck man, day 6 at home not sure how I am going to handle this, my daughter is getting cranky, not sure how much I can guiltlessly leave her in front of TV for hours a day whilst me and mrs are doing conference calls/work etc
Getting one of those Ikea kids kitchens delivered today, hopefully that will give us an extra 20 mins of no screaming

I’m at work Mrs is home with the kids. She’s trying to do 3 hours of structured stuff to replicate what she is missing at school/nursery. Play kitchens are cool we have one. How old is your daughter? Could set her some play jobs etc. Like make me a cake etc if she’s good at role playing
Ha ha. yeah, I thought that after I posted - you only need to leave the drive open once and thats it…
I’ll send it up with the composite leads, but I think you just need a standard HDMI to get HD out of it. I’m sure you have one lying around…
Hit me up.
Can you get her Skyping/FaceTiming with her mates? My 4yr old will chat away for hours with her grandparents on it
We’ve also got her interested in ballet lessons on YouTube for kids, kids HIIT, kids karate. It’s still a screen but at least she’s engaging and moving not sat staring blankly
We’re also giving her a list of easy jobs to help out each day and she’ll happily do it all for a chocolate coin at the end of the day
Not easy though, I know. I guess it’ll become the new norm and everyone’s adjusting at the moment so it feels weird

Daniella Ballerina on YouTube is good. Well, it’s awful, she can’t sing and it’s not a great watch for a 41 yr old but my daughter will watch an hours worth of it wearing a tutu and jumping about. Just search and try bits out, a lot is hit and miss but some is well made

Are there any YouTube courses that can teach a 6 year old how to mend garden fences and insulate a loft space?

Maybe Rees Mogg has one with such content.
Might include such other themes as kids clean the chimney or penny farthing maintenance for kids.

Played on Skate 3 last night for an hour and tried that gap Hugo, no way I could get close. Tried many routes to get speed but any where it looked fast enough I just kept ploughing into bridge struts.
Watch a video from some nerd called Toasty Ghost on youtube for how to do it.
I’ve got over both bridges about 10 times but slammed on the landing even on the big bank.
Ours proper loves this. Fingers crossed for you.
Alto’s Odyssey and Alto’s Adventure are both now free on the Appstore, full games, no sneaky in app purchases either.

Thinking of putting together a non-pub skate quiz. Would people be interested? And when would be the best time in the week to run such a quiz? On an evening, but which one? No one’s going anywhere for the foreseeable.

Getting my smokers prepped this weekend. May piss off the pasta doomers in coming weeks.
Completed them both

Where? Here?
I’d probably run it through one of the online quiz sites like Kahoot. But if anyone has a better suggestion, I’m all ears.
