What OZ? No idea what you're talking about officer!

Nothing will happen

You be down money isn't that right

I once had about a quarter I sent back from Amsterdam seized. I wasn't too worried as it was at a temporary address. When the letter came through they had rounded the quarter up to an ounce, it was nowhere near it. I think you'd have to be receiving a lot more than an ounce to warrant a home visit, but I don't know that for certain.

Fucking hell thats awful! They really are scummy sometimes its ridiculous. What ended up happening? Just a love letter?

Yeah, a letter with the amount they claimed was seized and then nothing.

ive had ounces seized coming from the US and Canada and both resulted in a letter and nothing more. Probably the same for EU packages.

Letter for 20oz from Cali here not so long ago!! Lads must have hit their quota that month or the dog was on holiday & gave me a free pass!! Obviously wasn’t in my name & I haven’t ordered directly from Cali since.

Hello ROB was that in ROI this happened or UK?

🇮🇪

Been dosing on half G for a week now, got a dog park that was once a golf course where we used to pick them as youths.
Some guy tho, every afternoon for a week got them all, was there for hours every day picking among the dog walkers.
I got a pocketful of the last of the year's pickings (image) today, the later in the season they're picked the stronger it seems.
Next year i'll be ready, i'm up at the crack of dawn anyways, i walked past them a couple times last week until i decided to go for it, the liberty's have been amazing, i just had a little one earlier and had a vry nice fuzzy warm glow from it.
I'm drying them out right now in a kitchen paper.

Im a fucking shroom noob so most of my experiences have been on LB I just dont have the time really to pick

I noted around 5 different mushroom types when out in the field, one of them looks very similar, you really need to know how they look.😁
All shrooms are the same tho, just different strengths, so they say anyways.👍

Are they still prolific? I have a mountain spot in mind for next week when it's supposed to not be raining.

Season has just finished, pretty much, i was too late also, planning big things for next year tho, the liberty's have been excellent this year.

So not worth a trip to a field that has thousands in mid-late September, usually?

Perhaps?

Potentially good enough for me.

I'd say it's still worth a punt. I'm no mycologist but I believe Libs prefer it a bit cooler than it's been recently in most of the UK, so the season may extend past the usual window if weather conditions allow. I've heard that the first ground frost is what finishes them off so you might still be ok depending on location.

I'm also looking for Wavy Caps this year after reading this article. Looks like they can be found Oct to Feb, and the fact they show blueing when bruised should help positive ID. 👍

Anything that gets us off our tits with minimal chance of death and I'm all for it.

Amen to that 🙏 💚

haha literally just got some from the moors today

👍 enjoy. I'm only micro dosing and enjoying it so far.

Brilliant. 😁 🍄

Glad you managed to get some, gotta love nature's bounty.

Think we may have just come into the perfect weather for some of us so happy hunting!

See, that's what was always in my mind about the liberty cap gathering: get in before the 1st frost? Quite far from that here, fortunately. Some posters a couple of weeks ago thought the season had shifted forward?

Still plenty to be had 👀 I will post a topic on my page

Edit can't post pics. New account😔

Profile pic is 3 hours noobing on Dartmoor 🍄 14/10/23

That's a good day's foraging, nice one. 👍

I'm really enjoying the game of hunting little fungi.

I've seen horses,sheep,cows etc and a ufo.

The outdoors is a wonderful place when you recognise you are a part of it.

I've seen wood chippings scattered also. I was curious at first because there are very few trees. You have enlightened me 🙏

Hi bro, not selling lib caps but I'm doing a promo offer of a 3.5 golden teachers for $5 to boost number of reviews. Would appreciate it if you decided to check my page out. Thanks

well I cant say no to that, Just put in a order now thanks for letting me know I shall add you to my list of vendors and come back again.

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

Yep. Monzo is the way to go. Lloyds froze my account when I tried to buy Bitcoin 6 months ago. I had to speak to their fraud team to unlock it. Very stressful.

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

Nationwide building society are OK with me sending money to coinbase.

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

Get a separate virtual card or so that you can load using your original card. Then use the virtual or other online account to purchase your crypto currency. Best account in my opinion is Monzo, had no problems with them.

Get yourself the XTP (TAP) app, you can buy/send Bitcoin and others through that, even comes with own card if you want one to spend crypto! 😉👍

Thanks for reminding me, I keep meaning to buy a CBD cart to run alongside a THC in my Tombstone battery!
I’m going to do it right now👍

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
https://youtu.be/h488fgqQtZQ
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😂
