Tomorrow Wednesday 18th

I was asking if i should do another day but I've only really just been able to get online since posting the idea.

So what I'm thinking is doing something for the weekend but the couple people who have orderd today will be looked after.

I had every intention to get something popping today for everyone but personal life comes first.

I've been working to up my freebies game and I've got something pretty decent coming up real soon. It's real decent and not cheap for me. But I guarantee you will love them.

And tbh giving a 3.5 away with every 3.5 is unsustainable for myself for a promotion but I do want to do something to spread the love.

Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Bit gutted I didn't receive an extra 3.5 RRW with my order I placed on Wednesday 😔
Oh well that'll teach me for jumping the gun.
Thanks for the 1.5 of Zskittles though I suppose.

Did I mess your order up??

No mate I received the 3.5 of rrw i ordered but I was expecting another 3.5 rrw as I hadn't seen your follow up post saying it was just an idea.
You sent me an extra 1.5 of zskittles so can't complain 🙂
I just love your RRW and wanted more 😁

Very sorry man my mistake.

I'll hook you up again no doubt in the very near future

Honestly buddy don't worry about it.
Now I've tried the Zskittles so its more than made up for it 😁

I’m confused now….is this happening today 18/1 or not?

Bit daft to put it up if you don’t want to do it🤷‍♂️🤪

Order placed :D

Let me get this right if you order an 1/8 of say northern lights before the end of the day you get another 1/8th included free?

Deal or no deal Mr Tomato lol

I’m so freaking tempted…..I’m going to get killed!

Mine just landed 10 min ago not to rub it in lol

Oh yes!

Hell yeah I’m in!

My eyes! My eyes!…..why am I so powerless to resist?! 😳😵‍💫😫😶‍🌫️

It's like pringles but way more expensive but at least it's not 1000 cal per tub lol

Looking to order red red wine as a first purchase today, 1/8th coming free along side ? 🙏🏽

Na wait till pay day. Everyone is skint. Sorry I’ll rephrase that I’m skint now after the last one.

So I would hold off 😏

Of course do it.

Anyone not tried any of this gear this is a must (northern lights) 😏 tho I did hear the watermelon was the mutts 🐶 also

this mate!!!

I keep missing out lol

After sitting out in the garden and some neighbours teasing me with skunk smoke I’m gonna get back in the combustion wagon

Or maybe a mighty but I need that skunk smell

You think that man but stick to your guns

Da Zkittles is Da Bomb….😎

Bit confused - is this offer still happening?

I know Santander still do, but they're stopping at some point this year. A friend has tried with Starling and the Co-op and neither of them allowed him to purchase crypto. I'd have thought this would be a much bigger topic on LB as once all UK banks enforce this, this site will either have to evolve or die. Wonder what the next step is going to be?

Next step if that happens is either. My weed group or back to hub 420 who accept difrent payment options if required. Bless

I'm with Halifax and not had any issues purchasing crypto, apparently RBS and Natwest are friendly to crypto purchases too.

That is who i switched to(HBOS) after Virgin decided to stop me buying btc through blockchain,they asured me they would not be blocking my transactions as i need btc for more than just on here,so far so good and visa seem to be less annoying than mastercard for fraud checks

Get your self to lloyds or any bank that accept crypto my friend and apply with new bank to purchase any bitcoin. I read all over people's banks have stopped this . Not looking forward to when or if llloyds start this also but lloyds fair for me only other sites accept PayPal and credit card only some tho . But don't think little biggy do this

Thanks mate, apparently all companies and banks have to upgrade to this within 1 year. So changing banks won’t work as they have upgraded.
I’m stumped now!

Hi Rhlr

I've been to hell and back with this too.

It IS a big issue on LB but given the number of permutations between banking providers and exchanges some people are affected where others don't even though they are on the same exchanges (and different banks) or vice versa.

I won't name which UK bank suddenly decided to block all my coinbase purchase attempts back in Nov (and my subsequent attempts to do so form 6 other popular exchanges) but as some of you have said this is Government driven (another thing to remember when we go to vote in a couple of years biggas -> I for one will not forget and not forgive).

Having worked in the City in the 90s I bet you that this bout of Governmental control freakishness will probably stop at the dragon gates at the beginning of Fleet Street (where the current PM still has his mates from his previous job remember?).

For us little people and commoners we are facing a complete clamp down on most if not all UK banks.

My November rant is well documented and I can now confirm that the one and only crypto exchange approved by the FCA UK enabled me to purchase on LB again (as of yesterday after the mandatory 60 days wait for debit card transfers).

It turned out to my advantage given the BC has gone up big time since then but I'm wary of boasting about that one exchange (you know the one) allowing us to do business here in case the fuzz is reading our posts (although they seem to be pretty busy indulging in more reprehensible behaviour themselves these days).

The whole money laundering bollox is just an excuse to assert control (did PPE medpro issue crypto transactions - nope - neither did private foreign funders of some of the UK political parties).

At least there is a glimpse of hope now that the FCA has rubber stamped one (and one only) of the exchanges for approval.

Live and learn

Updating my own post...

A quick web search seem to point to a few other exchanges being FCA approved as of late.

There is a search engine on the FCA website to check whether an exchange is approved for crypto business HOWEVER Bitpanda is listed there and I had no luck in transferring from my bank into Bitpanda so go figure.

The one which I ended up using is also listed there and it works - everything else failed (and I've tried every other one suggested here apart from revolut and the one I'm currently using).

The morale is (vendors are going to love me saying this - vendors you're welcome to send freebies my way ;0) ):

1) stash up as much as you can in case things go wrong

2) ask other biggas about their experience

3) do you research and be prepared to switch exchanges at short notice

Cheers

People keep saying to go with Lloyds- I’ve been a Lloyds customer since God was a boy and they’ve done everything possible to block my crypto purchases. I’ve had to escalate my complaints three times and make various declarations and it’s still touch and go…
I know we only call it as we find it but my experience is that Lloyds is no great solution 🙈..

Lol its me polly who says lloyds. Only cos I had no bad experiences touch wood. But I also say any bank who accept bitcoin try with them . Il be swapping as soon as llloyds stop mine. Maybe people have different experiences with banks. Bless

Red Dead 2- massive map and Amazing score

Thank you, I think I might get this one it does look very good

Brilliant game, prepare for a long download too if you haven’t already... graphics are beautiful but the player control system is slightly annoying, it feels very heavy. Never the less i love the way you can ‘greet’ and ‘antagonise’ npc’s🤣...

Try ‘greet’, ‘greet’, ‘antagonise’, I’ve had many of laughs from it.

-It’sWeed

Good game

I normally play shooters but I highly recommend ghost of Tsushima

I've heard a lot of good things about the ghost of Tsushima, will give it a look. cheers mate

Best game of PS4 generation, and it’s just got a PS5 update for all the lucky fuckers that have one

Just finished Subnautica. Really nice just looking around after a smoke. More relaxing than FPS. The Outer Wilds is another similar open world. Fantastic looking.

Totally agree, awesome game, so atmospheric.
On the open world side I'd add Rust. It's impossible not to enjoy Rust, even if you never manage to get further than hitting people with a rock while giggling maniacally

I gave up on normal servers a few years ago, I've been playing a RP/PVP server for all this time and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Peoples RP can change each wipe or stay the same if they like what they are doing.
We've done events in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IZogY8Ravo&feature=youtu.be
We do loads of stuff and it changes every month. There are wars and stuff but there are some rules that go with it.
Anyhows if you wanna check it out client.connect 54.39.130.212:28015

Rust RP servers are for betas lol

Try playing on official servers and watch the fun leave! Great game.

I've seen some gameplay of subnautica on YT it does look good, I'm definitely going to give it a try after a smoke thats sounds like a banging plan

If you have a PC it might be worth it looking into VR and buying a headset. Half-life Alyx is really good and will hopefully set the new standard for AAA VR games if they do end up really taking off.

Currently my PC isn't great but i'm looking at getting an upgrade. Have you got a VR headset, I would love to hear how good they are from an actual user. cheers

I love subnautica!!!

Have a look at Scum. It's a beautiful and the real survival game. Great graphics, great little details, you've to know some basic knowledge to really survive ahah

And i can't go without mention my favourite game of all time, Arma 3. The one and only military simulatior. It's a little bit old but... See for yourself ;) https://youtu.be/9rXxa2a3iIw

I used to play Arma 3 a while ago now, very good game. I might have to hop back on it. Cheers mate

red dawn is like a gta reboot if you havent already

No haven't heard of this before, if its like gta I'm sure I will like it though, cheers mate

Sports: UFC 4 – It’s tough to get for a newbie, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very addicting. There’s nothing like MMA.

Racing: Forza Horizon 5 – Amazing graphics, realistic driving, sounds/feels real.

Shooter: Insurgency: Sandstorm – The most realistic shooter on console, it’s unrivaled.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege – The games’ been out since like 2015(?) but it still holds up, it’s comparable to search & destroy on CoD, but with the element of Battlefield. It’s easy, doesn’t require an absurd amount of skill, barring you’re facing sweats, it’s still a top 3 shooter IMO.


Misc: Chivalry 2 – It’s literally gorey, medieval first person sword combat. It’s a sick ass game.

If you want a break from the norm I would recommend trying a few indie titles, I loved the little nightmares games, hotline Miami 1 & 2,

res evil 2 remake is good too. If you got a good pc, cyberpunk maybe.

Indie is where I think you find more interesting games these days, but there is also a lot more junk to go through to find the gems.

I have also been playing older indie titles again like limbo and inside, shadow complex and mark of the ninja, all great games in my opinion

Yeah you need to take a break from those triple aaa games like that, they all bleed into 1, like COD, let’s face it, it’s been the same game for years now. Try some refreshing indie games, play little nightmares 1 & 2, it’s great. The hotline Miami games are fun too. There are others, can’t think of them now, but will update if my stoney brain remembers…

Haha I seem to have replied twice to the same thing here, must have been smoking some good stuff at the time….

2 words. Hitman Trilogy. If you like roleplay with tasteful incorporated violence then youll be well away. Its AAA, but is single player only. Sandbox levels so intricately made it has unlimited playback potential. The vr on ps4 isnt great but i bet pc would be immense, although i haven't tried.

Borderlands 3 mate. Or Spider-Man miles morales if you like superhero games. I play cod all the time and like those two when wanting something different.

Cheers mate I've been looking for something a bit different

Try a game called Running with Rifles. Top.down shooter. Really good. Easy to pick up. Hard to put down.

Haha sounds good, I will give it a look cheers mate

No worries..if your keen on it and can't find any players DM me I'll add you on steam.

Thanks mate I'll let you know

Valheim on Steam... You will never look back!

My brother really likes that game but I don't know much about it, whats it like if you don't mind me asking, cheers mate

It's a cross between a survival game, RPG, Minecraft, Ark... It's hard to explain. But you basically have to level up a Viking character, build everything, craft weapons, etc. However it's all woven into a HUGE procedurally generated map (different in every game). It's SUPER chilled, but also great fun, creative, and rewarding. Check out 'Valheim worth a buy" on Youtube.. but don't watch any other videos as you'll ruin it for yourself. You'll get lost in this game... as will your free time.

If you want to check out something completely different mount and blade is a great game, you can get vanilla on xbox, or all sorts of mods on PC.
Or if you don't mind going really old with a game, X-com: terror from the deep. The gameplay in the older X-com games really puts the newer ones to shame. Terror from the deep in unfairly difficult, but it has a good atmosphere and you should get plenty of play time out of it.

Cheers for that mate, I like a challenge I will have a look at it

Oxygen not Incuded, Factorio if you are up for dabbling in engineery stuff
Doom 2016, no, really, try it, way better that the new one.
Anything from Zachatronic for casual puzzles.
Portal 2 - everyone should play Portal 2 I know it's old, but...

Cheers mate I sometimes think the older games are better than the new ones anyway

Valheim is a fantastic game. Check it out.

Deathloop is a blast.

Oldie but goodie Halo Wars or any real time strategy games, you have time whilst you build your army to roll up and smoke😂
