  1. I don't. If I have to listen to the radio in the car I will put on whatever local station to where I am so the kids can listen. But otherwise, I don't bother, as frankly, I have a better selection on my phone.
  2. Wouldn't the filter button do the job for you? Highlight your headings and click filter, and it should resolve that for you.
  3. Turn settings to low, and then put it in windowed mode. My work PC by rights shouldn't run it, but doing that sorted that issue, however it does lag late game when its fully tiled.
  4. Well here is the city I made whilst on my lunch break at work http://i.imgur.com/1M3qgtB.jpg *edit* Population of 9500(ish) Income of $2900 per week Policies - Smoke Detectors, Recycling, restricted heavy traffic in housing areas, one way systems in industrial areas. Taxes - Housing: 13%, Commercial: 15%, Industrial: 15% Crime rate - 6% and has been hovering around that for "4 years" Fire danger - 0% (I have 2 fire stations in every district) Garbage - 2 Incinerators operating to full capacity Health - 2 clinics in every district Police - 2 stations in every district Power - Wind turbines, Incinerators, 2 coal stations, generating around 190MW, using around 120MW Water - every inch of my map has access Education - 2 lower and 1 high school in every district, no universities built yet
  5. My tarriff is currently "unlimited" but the fine print is 100GB a month in the UK or 8GB abroad.
  6. See Apps isn't a big thing for me, all I use on my phone are Edugeek Tapatalk Reddit Internet Whatsapp Youtube Mail and a smattering of games and banking apps (which have iOS and Windows versions anyway).
  7. Right now, I have the Xperia Z1 ultra. I love it, however, I will likely be going to Windows Phone next. I was Apple for a while, but after the 3G I didn't bother as I hated having to jailbreak the phone after every iOS update so I could customise it a bit, so I moved to android. have been on droid since, now as much as I like the droid, its getting a bit too clunky. Droid software is fine, but I have grown bored of it, even rooting my phone. I played with a Windows phone, and enjoyed it, so thats likely my next move. Before you commit to a phone, play with one in the shops if you can, try before you buy so to speak, and learn what you like.
  8. Some little tricks I picked up... Water pipes - extend them in 1 direction, where the cost is $440, then put a 1 slot spur off that, then rinse and repeat. At a gap of $440, you can get perfect coverage with no overlap, so it works out cheaper. I added more water pumps and waste pumps later in the game, but the pipework was fine still. Sometimes worthwhile late game (when you have skyscrapers) to have the pipes crossing in a grid. Electricity- you should build up in small blocks, the electricity expands with the buildings. Roads - upgrade the roads ASAP to 4 lane roads, or just build using 4 lane roads. Reason being, you will get gridlocked later on, and upgrading will demolish some buildings, causing unhappiness, and problems.
  9. My daughters Y1 homework this week was to draw her parents favourite childhood toys and grandparents childhood toys and compare them to her favourite toys. How is a child of 5 or 6 supposed to compare them when they're generally going to be the same thing. My favourite toy was my stuffed monkey (Which I have to this day) and my mrs favourite toy was her Rolland Rat stuffed teddy (which she has to this day), my daughters favourite toy? Her stuffed bunny. Other parents I spoke to about this had the same issue, we all had similar favourite toys as children, and the children generally have the same favourite types too.
  10. Sunk 5 hours in last night, my only annoyance is lack of an autosave, however I am enjoying the game. Definitely is what Sim City should have been.
  11. £45 inc postage? Going on ebay otherwise.
  12. Well it's all good. I grabbed it so I can pick up a second hand copy for cheap and enjoy.
  13. Well I got it on my card, will play some tonight. If I dont like it, oh well, only £30, not the end of the world.
  14. Nobody?
  15. My daughter is 5 years old, and she gets 10 minutes of reading a night (which we put before bedtime), and 1x 30 minute homework session usually given on a Friday and has to be completed by the following Wednesday. Next academic year (year 2) it is expecting to go up to 3 pieces of homework a week, and stay like that until she is in year 4, from which she will get 4 pieces of homework at 30 minutes a night, and then year 6 through 8 she will get 5 nights at 30 mins a piece. From year 9, I believe her feeder school will be doing it based on what subjects she picks. As for the homework when its done, I get it done Saturday night with her before bath time, so she has a chance to enjoy the day and relax on Sunday.
  16. Anyone have it? Thoughts? Comments? I am buying it with my next paycheque, as it looks like what the newest Sim City SHOULD have been.
  17. Thanks, will grab it just in case I get the game. lol
  18. Haha. I have the first versions of all games apart from civilisation...where I started at Civ 3.
  19. I play any of the following... Civilisation 5 Crusader Kings 2 Europa Universalis 4 Victoria 2 Hearts of Iron 3 Rome Total War 2 Shogun Total War 2 Do you see a pattern?
  20. Used to play many years ago. I am in the process of becoming a ref for the game.
  21. http://i.imgur.com/pG9CKf4.jpg And at a bargain price too.
  22. He should be buried in a red shirt for old times sakes.
