It mentions you'll put all selections online, but clearly that's just something you say and not do?

Re: Google undermining Apple’s planned iOS 9 security

darran — Sat, 29 Aug 2015 06:51:01 -0000

A bit harsh telling Google to go fuck itself. It isn't doing anything to undermine the security if the security can be circumvented in the first place. Isn't Apple supposed to be the closed ecosystem?

Really looking forward to this set! However a bit disappointed that we're getting a regular Lisa again. How about Cool Lisa?

Re: Oscars snub for The LEGO Movie

I'm sure it was because the judges didn't know it was animated feature film and thought it was a stop go film. Else the live action section disqualified it?

Re: CUUSOO & Bricklink launch CUUSOO BRICK

I like the idea of being able to buy any MOC in a pack, that of course meets a popularity target. Sure it won't come in a box and the instructions won't be printed perfectly, but think of some of the failed Ideas projects, I'd like to at least have the option to purchase them as 1 without the hassle of Bricklink and the terrible UI.

Completely agree with the winner. Why would spiderman need any vehicle?

Stickers, it's always stickers.

I hope the rumours are true and they continue with more Simpsons next year!

Re: Awards 2014 #14: License theme of the year

darran — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 12:15:03 -0000

Thinking about this I'm not sure if it is a license or not, but then I thought some more and realised everything was awesome and this theme should win everything!

Re: Awards 2014 #9: Ideas Project of the Year

I love my Ecto-1 but for Ideas, I love the original idea of the Exo-Suit.

Re: Awards 2014 #7: Overall set of the year

I loved the Benny's Spaceship, it was a lovely nod to the 80s sets and lets hope it starts a new retro space age, with the exo suit helping out too!

Re: Awards 2014 #1: Polybag of the year

Loved the balloon cart, it was my first build in bag!

Re: Awards 2014 #2: £15 or under set of the year

darran — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:29:30 -0000

I picked up all the microfighters and I really love the mini millenium falcon. They are all fantastic with such detail... except I didn't like droid army AAT.

Re: Awards 2014 #3: £35 or under set of the year

When I was looking to fill out some of my movie minifigs, I had to go with cloud cuckoo palace, awesome collection with it. Great price too!

Re: Awards 2014 #4: £60 or under set of the year

darran — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:24:29 -0000

Loved Ecto-1, the printed pieces made it. Oh how I hate stickers!

Re: Awards 2014 #5 £100 or under set of the year

darran — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:22:49 -0000

Both those sets got me back into Lego this year! But the winner here has to be spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!! Love it.

Re: Awards 2014 #6: £100 or more set of the year

darran — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 09:20:42 -0000

I loved both The Simpsons House and the Tumblr which I built this year, I would have to pick the house as my winner with the level of detail inside and the playability.

Re: Give 'disenfranchised' expats the vote: EU

darran — Sat, 01 Feb 2014 16:23:00 -0000

I don't have a vote at national elections in Ireland or Sweden since I don't have Swedish citizenship and don't live in Ireland. I guess I'll never have a vote anywhere.

Do your research. "Swedes consume more coffee per capita than anyone else in the world." That is after Finland... and Norway... and Iceland, oh, and Denmark... and don't forget the Netherlands. Yup, Sweden is 6th.

Thanks Google. You've woken me up to never trusting any of your products again. Slowly moving everything away!

Re: UK man stuck in Swedish ID nightmare

darran — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:02:37 -0000

I mentioned nothing about UK ID Card. You mentioned lack of control, I just countered saying they don't control any EU national ID card or passport, yet still accept them.
I'm also very worried that they accept passports from non-EU countries (basically print your own 3rd world passport) yet a driving licence from an EU country can't identify someones name on an envelope with the name on the licence, and make sure picture matches.

Re: UK man stuck in Swedish ID nightmare

darran — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:29:30 -0000

Yes they don't control the security behind any EU licences, but they don't control any EU ID cards or Passports either but still accept them. Lack of trust or not, the licence is still a valid form of ID that one can use in Sweden to drive everything from cars to articulated vehicles. You don't see the police stopping people from driving because they don't have a Swedish licence and only a EU one.

darran — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:56:41 -0000

If Swedish driving licences are valid I don't see why EU licences are not. Both are valid in Sweden for driving.
