Felt the need to come on here in shock. I just looked up wireless adaptors for the xbox360, so I can go online. I was expecting it to be ?20 or something. Amazon want pretty much ?80 for it!!!! Have seen it for ?40, but even that is well out of order IMO.


For the time being, I shall be gaming offline!

Yeah they are well out of order with their pricing, I got lucky and found one on Amazon for a tenner from cash converters in Scotland, guess they didn't realise how much they usually go for.


You can use a wired connection, or is that not an option for you?


Edit: Seems to be a few on Ebay for 35 quid for 'Buy it now' or auctions starting at 99p.

Sorry, didn't even think about the wireless cost. That said, unless you're planning to play other people online then it doesn't need to be connected. Just move it near the modem when updates come out to download them & then move it back. A pain, but cheaper than that & only needs to be every few months if that.

Revisiting Deus Ex.


Grphically really showing its age, but as spoilt as we've become with bump mapping and blooming and physics and graphic in genereal post half life 2 and far cry, playing it reminds you of just how much is missing from most games, I'd even include Half LIife 2 in that. Decent story and writing and intrigue and interest and suspense.

Bioshock came close I guess, but I can't think of anything that matched this old fella since.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)

      Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
