I've been binging your videos in the background while working... Little OG is correct on the ice cubes. The main benefit commercial ice cubes have is they're frozen much faster, they also typically use directional freezing. Our home freezers freeze from the outside in and take longer. Commercial ice cubes often use treated water, but the above freezing technique further helps push the impurities out, whereas the water you're using (which is particularly hard in the south east of England) gets frozen into the centre, including any small gas pockets. So the commercial ice cubes are denser so take longer to melt and this technique makes them look nicer, as often home made ice cubes are cloudy. That's partially the impurities and minerals causing that. On whether or not water from the North is better, I'm a sweaty sock Jock in Edinburgh. Our water is much softer, but it still have plenty of minerals (Total Dissolved Solids TDS is how water you buy is measured...) but it has much lower calcium and magnesium which is what makes a water hard or soft. We also don't have fluoride in the water up here, parts of England do. So sure it's great for making your hair soft and for drinking, but it still isn't ideal for ice cubes... What a boring answer, but there you go.
Always enjoy your vlogs. Thought I'd put my 2 cents in about the Ice Cream Sundae. A pharmacist named Charles Sonntag created the treat, naming it the "sonntag" after himself. Sonntag means Sunday in German, and so the name was translated to Sunday, and later spelled as “sundae”. I never knew this. They do say you learn something new everyday 😂😊
As a Northern lad, having visited the South a number of times. I can confirm, Northern water, especially from Yorkshire. Is way better than Southern. Been catching up on the videos lately, great way to relax after overtime shifts. 😀
I like your idea of retaining the price sticker and adding it to the inside of the case. I wish I had kept the price paid on all of the games in my collection!!
95 percent og my games i know how much i paid (The old N64, Sega Saturn games i bought as a kid i have no idea) i use the game eye app so when i go game hunting i am.not doubling up.
Currently use CLZ which I believe does the same thing ... Will take a look at Game Eye and see which I prefer... Been meaning to do this for a good while now 😎
Great work on the joystick matey. Nice! I keep meaning to build an arcade cab but just don't find the time lol. MAN Love that Street Fighter Movie edition. That looks awesome fun lol.
Gutted I missed the mini-summer we had as we were away in Greece. Sadly not bought the sun home with us! Totally agree with the water comments, it's awful down here. Sounds like youve got a great week coming up, enjoy mate 👍
Those birds sound like a nightmare duffy buddy. Its been hammering down here for the last few days. Gutted I missed the lights 😂 I've never played the street fighter movie game, i defo want to try now though 😂 I like the film.... but I think its more to do with nostalgia. Bubble bobble got to be game of the week, what a game 😁👊
I live in the Midlands and the water is bad . Really hard ph of about 7.6. As regards ice cubes the bought ones generally last longer because they are more clear and more impurities are removed. Ones from the tap are normally more white than clear.
@@MastodonMartYes I remember saying to my Mrs that they would win days before the final as they got so much publicity because they was wrongly accused of being Satanic by the God botherers, then when they did win I regretted not putting the bet on lol😂
@@MastodonMart I've just subscribed to your channel Sir as I'm a Metal Fan also, have been since I was a teenager and went to see Megadeth in 87 at Manchester Apollo I've been hooked ever since I'm 53 years old now and lived through Metals best years.
@@DeanVarney-w2i oh wow thank you for subscribing. I first saw Megadeth around 92 i think, i would have loved to have seen them in the 80's. I hope you enjoy my video's. I've not done much new content recently, but i plan to change that soon. 🤘
I build my arcade with standard cheap buttons and sticks and keep meaning to upgrade the sticks with sanwa 8/4 switchable ones so 8way is rubbish on old games. Bubble bobble is just an amazing game on any console but arcade version wow and that music sticks on your head 😂
Duffy my man, I noticed you didn't have a restrictor gate on that stick you pulled out, that may have been the cause of the problem. Also a 6-8 lb spring swap would work wonders!
@@OGDuffy oh yeah, Sanwa parts are second only to Hayabusa parts! So buttery haha! But if you ever wanted to repurpose the only stick for a future project, that may just help :=
U asked what we're doing and I and 21 mates going to Lanzarote on Thursday for 4 night stag do.😎🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺I'll get a beer or 5 in Tiny pub for you mate, although I don't think we'll all get in😂. Hoping to get a beer in every pub on front strip. No lapdancing clubs though.... Shame, unless you know 1?.... Pete (kinhank) 😉
Hi matey... Lanza is perfect for a stag party... Not as rowdy as Benidorm and the like so a lot more chilled... Trust and hope you had a good time matey? Hopefully your recovery is well underway 😉🍺
Hey OG, an hour flew by again while watching another good vlog 👍 i'v Been watching eurovision for 30 years, did not watch as a teen tho and every year i say, this is my Last time watching, but every year i find myself in front of the tv watching it 🙈 This year's songs was rubbish to me, Croatia was okay, but was a bit of a rip off from rammstein 🤔 Germany vocal's was okay too. Finland's song was absolutely terrible also, people say, that you should always cheer for own country's song, but as a person from Finland i still hated it 🤘 It really is fun and therapeutic to fiddle with stuff, i fiddle with amigas and commodores, all tho i don't know what i'm doing 🤓 And bubble bobble is the game of the week 100%! great game 💪 Ps. Do you have rodea the sky soldier in your wii u collection and if you do, have you tested it and is it any good? Take and see you in the next one 🍺🍻And sorry about the lenghty comment 😎
Hi matey, great comment as always.... Eurovision is always a great watch matey... Some of the acts are hysterical !!!!! The joystick upgrade was definitely worth it... Feels so much better than the previous stick !!!!! As you say always good to have a fiddle with these things..... The only soldering I do is for my stained glass projects. As for Sky Soldier..... I have it, but yet to play matey... Too many games, not enough time 😉
@@OGDuffy yo dude 1st comment did not show up . i use a app called game eye keeps everything logged and helps not buy them doubles . check it out . going to tune in to todays episode of duffy towers . c thee
Yeah, saw the Eurovision, thought the winning song was good, a deserved win. I'm surprised the Irish entry didn't score better, it was my favourite of the Saturday night. The first act in the Thursday night semi, Malta, who sadly didn't qualify, she was hot, imo, and the audience in the arena seemed to go mad for it too. Yeah, saw the Tuesday preview of the UK entry, I didn't like the song, seemingly no else did judging by how it performed in the public vote.
That public vote was amazing matey... Show how disliked the UK is compared to the rest of Europe... That's said the voting is always the fun bit for me... Never fails to make me smile 😆
SUBSCRIBE NOW ➜ bit.ly/37l5aQx Plenty more videos available on my channel including Pick Ups, Game comparisons and lots, lots more !
I’m playing the ‘oh yes’ drinking game. Every time you say it I have to have another beer. Oh yes!
It would be rude not to
Happy days!
But, you already knew that guys!
Best game indeed
How many drinks did you have 🤓🍺🍺
Love the Somewhere in time Eddie. That's very cool.
Was given to me by a guy I knew who runs a record shop 😎

Hi matey and thanks for such a deep explaination to my question. I will let Little OG know 😉
What a great idea putting the prices on the inside of the box OG!… Wish I’d thought of that years ago 👍🏼
I thought that too. Great way to look back and find out what things cost!
Works for me matey... Not to late to start 😎😉
48:20
You're so right about that music. Play a few games of that after watching a bit of songs of praise and countryfile. Perfect Sunday evening 😂
Exactly matey 😉
Can't beat chilling in the garden in the sun with a few beers, was a great couple of days
Yes indeed matey 😎😉🍺

As a Northern lad, having visited the South a number of times. I can confirm, Northern water, especially from Yorkshire. Is way better than Southern.
Been catching up on the videos lately, great way to relax after overtime shifts. 😀
Hi matey and glad you’re enjoying the vids after your shifts ! Gotta agree with the water difference buddy 😉
Love it
Cheers matey 😉👍

Its a great reference point matey... Start now 😉
Currently use CLZ which I believe does the same thing ... Will take a look at Game Eye and see which I prefer... Been meaning to do this for a good while now 😎
@OGDuffy it's too late for me! My PlayStation game collection is pretty big and alll the price stickers get removed the very same day I get the game!
Stayed in the lake district for a week a few years back and oh yes, the water up there is so much nicer than it is for us in the south east.
Heard this about a lot of other places....
Yes OG the stickers are going, doesn't that feel better lol.Happy Days
Got lots more to do !!!!!! Find it quite therapeutic 😎
Josh’s Charizard tattoo is awesome!!!!!!
Its a good size matey
Quick toot with the hair dyer OG and those stickers would slip off - Keep up the great content !
Something quite therapeutic about the sticker removal.
Nice game room and Arcade PC with a great arcade stick that you made
Cheers matey. Thanks for the positive comments.
I was a fan of Phoenix indeed.
There's a version for the Amiga now, it has been released a few weeks ago.
Arcade perfect port.
Decent game but such a strange tune......
Looks like a nice relaxing weekend OG.
Glad you got your loose stools sorted 🤣💩
😉 Oh yes nice and tight stools now matey 😆
Ahh OG, I used to love Bubble Bobble, that music brings back memories. That, Final Fight and WWF Superstars were my favourites 🤙
Superstars is a great game !!!! Loved that wrestling game 😉
i didn't know the Jackal game. Nice, it's like my cup of tea. Reminds me of Choplifter about the rescue thing.
Its a great game matey... Always one of my go to shooters
I absolutely love the SF movie game. Its so ridiculous! Whats not to love? great vlog!
Cheers matey was fun to look at it
fantastic weather apart from the thunder.
No storms for me matey 😉
Great work on the joystick matey. Nice! I keep meaning to build an arcade cab but just don't find the time lol.
MAN Love that Street Fighter Movie edition. That looks awesome fun lol.
Cheers matey... Makes the world of difference !!!! Street Fighter movie game is quite a giggle really.... I should do a separate video 😎
Gutted I missed the mini-summer we had as we were away in Greece. Sadly not bought the sun home with us!

Depends where in the North. I think most of the East Coast is hard water.
Water down here is hard as nails !!!!! 😉😎
We're fellow Eurovision fans in this house we most years throw a Eurovision party that tends to surprise people due to me being a metalhead
I’m same as you but do enjoy the political event that is Eurovision 😉

Hi OG can you remember when the Heavy Metal Band Lordi won the Eurovision, Happy Days.
They were 16-1 with the bookies too. Would have been a nice wee bet
@@MastodonMartYes I remember saying to my Mrs that they would win days before the final as they got so much publicity because they was wrongly accused of being Satanic by the God botherers, then when they did win I regretted not putting the bet on lol😂
