    Buy it yourself. Other people are saving their money. I can't imagine you being so broke that you can't buy a $12 game.

    Something that doesn't help NHS service is three number of people visiting a&e for non emergency cases that can be dealt with a little bit of common sense at home. Not kidding, some parents have taken their kids to hospital for a grazed knee. Go to the kitchen or bathroom and clean it up a bit. If it's bleeding at all, stick a plaster on it, or do what I did recently when I managed to graze both elbows and a knee at once, man up and continue as if nothing happened.

    Alot of people turn up to a&e at this time of year for sunburn, nope, see your local doctor, and if you have to moan at the waiting time, moan at the people that waste the doctors time with cases that literally don't need medical attention at all or don't turn up to booked appointments.

    I bet if the nhs was no longer free, people would think twice about turning up for such little unimportant things.
    Not that I support removing the free NHS.

    Although it should also be noted, this NHS partial privatisation thing the conservatives have made little ground on but media have gone ape about, was a labour plan. My local hospital was stuck under private administration, improved drastically as a result (was one of worst hospitals in the country, now, it isn't) and this was done before conservatives came to power, hell, think it was still Blair in charge at the time.

    I just got myself Need for Speed : Rivals for 15€ (about 20$/ 12 pounds), but since my internet is slower than 3G right now, it's taking 17 minutes to download a 70MB origin update.
    I should just download it from my phone via 4G and then install it on my PC.

    I've often had issues with horrendously slow Origin downloads, are you sure it's your internet?

    Yes, I can barely watch 144p videos.
    Also, had a look, it's about as fast as 2G vis GPRS (40Kb/s)

    It's been like this since Monday.
    There was a really big thunderstorm, and, from what I know, it took out a few powerlines and also some internet cable thingies.
    So I'm guessing they're/we're running on some sort of emergency internet sevice.
    ----------

    I have a little story that I forgot to tell.

    So, I was gone on a school trip from Monday to Wednesday.
    On Thuesday, we were on a little trip through the city, and I was a bit sick.
    Then, I just collapsed.
    A few classmates and parents that came with us then put me on a bench and gave me something to "sleep" on.
    Once I woke up, I just heard an ambulance and I was driven to the next hospital.
    Pretty great school trip, huh?

    --edit--

    So, it's finally finished updating Origin, but now it keeps saying that I must be online when logging in for the first time.
    Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
    As far as I know, the Origin servers are online and I have internet access.

    I have a windows phone, however the charging port is bad now and it doesn't work. AT&T wasn't helpful about getting another one. :mad:

    I've finally got Origin to work.
    Now I can actually start installing Rivals.
    Yay!(?)

    I've got an iPhone 4s that's got 43% battery capacity. It lasts about 45 minutes on a full charge. :p

    Every 4s my family has owned has done that (at least 4 of them now).

    Fix was simple. Drain it fully. Leave it shut down and charging overnight. Then power it on, repeat the process once more. Forces battery charge level recalibration, it often simply keeps track of charge level incorrectly causing that issue.
