  • I bought the game about 6 months after it was released and I had over 3000 hours in that game before I stopped playing a few years back.

    The first 1200+ hours was in Snowday alone, and I doubt I’ll ever have as much fun in a video game than I did in that mode. I started to play all the modes plus the steam workshop mods (for hundreds of hours) just to get better car control to play Snowday.
    Unfortunately at the end it was all competitive and it had started to be more of a chore than fun but I stand by those first thousands of hours at the most fun I’ve ever had.

    Hell, most of the time even the losing part of Snowday was enjoyable when playing against and with the right people.


  • Go to a charity shop and find a cheap table and utilise the top part. Alternatively go to a DIY shop (Wickes, b&q…) and buy some ply board. If you go to b&q then some stores will cut the boards to your sizes.

    If you get a table then it doesn’t matter if it is too big, just that it isn’t too heavy or expensive. The tricky part is gauging the weight as you’ll only be using the top part and getting rid of the legs etc.
    Once it is home take off all the legs and everything else so there’s nothing to scuff your kitchen table.
    Cut it to size and sand down the edges to make it chamfered and nice to lean on.

    If you go the plyboard route you’ll probably still have to sand the edges a bit. Plyboard largest size is 1220x2440mm so depending on the thickness you may need 2 pieces of ply as one piece of 18mm ply may not be sturdy enough but 2 bits of of 12mm glued together could be perfect. You’ll have to decide the sturdiness to weight factor.

    Either way get your board/old table top to your perfect size with the edges sanded smooth. On the bottom glue some felt fabric to protect your kitchen table. But leave about 50mm unglued underneath at the edges.
    Screw some battens to the bottom of it and cover anything that vat touch your kitchen table with felt.

    (Spray contact adhesive is good. Quick and sticky, but can be difficult to apply without spraying it everywhere. I’d use spray stuff for the big areas then paint on glue for the tricky parts)

    On top get some ripstop fabric. It’s tough, water-resistant, but nice to touch. It’s a bit like thin canvas.
    Glue that to the top but fold it over to the bottom about 25mm and glue.
    Then glue the felt over the top of the ripstop fabric and, BOOM, you now have an overtable.


  • Tricky.
    Yeah, on the one hand he is so bad at golf that he obviously and blatantly cheats. It’s so bad that people have written articles about it.

    On the other hand he’s pretty much on target when he’s fucking things up. Just look at all the casinos he had. Plus all those other failed, ahem, ‘businesses’ that he had to fuck up intentionally due to his incompetence.


  • Picture the scene.


    Two aides bursts in to the oval office to find the orange buffoon eating crayons. The smell of McDonald’s follows the aides in to the room and wafts towards the most stupid ‘president’ ever…
    {P01135809 eyes widen as he sniffs the air}
    “Sir…” eye rolls the first aide “can we attac…”
    Chunky boy spits out the crayons and blurts, "Big Mac? It’s…is it Big Mac time?
    “Soon, ‘sir’,” retorts the aide with another eye roll, “but first we need to…”
    {P01135809 sniffs the air again}. “It’s Big Mac time. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac time!” He sings while doing a pointy finger dance.
    “Yes, soon…‘Sir’, Iran is looking quite brown, sign this so can we attack Iran with…”
    {P01135809 sniffs the air again. Drool is now dripping from his puckered bottom lip}
    “Yes, YES. whatever, do it, do anything, just get me my big macs, FFS!!”
    “If to say so. Sign here now and you’ll also get an apple pie.”
    {P01135809 scribbles on to a piece of paper}
    “BRING IN THE BIG MACS!”

    Both aides leave the room.
    “Did he. Did he just agree to a war for a…”
    “I always ask him these type of questions when the Macdonald’s arrives! He’ll agree to anything when he’s hangry.”
