It's not out for IOS in the UK yet, but no doubt it will take over my house when it does.

In other gaming news as part of the last 9 months of negotiation to move all 4 kids to a new school (long story I won't bore you with) I've had to agree to build a Gaming PC for my eldest. I haven't told him it's going in the office on the big screen yet though.

Not built one for a while (10 years) but thinking I might wait for AMD to release it's new Zen chipset and get a Polaris GPU

It's not out for Android in the UK either ;)

I've not built a PC for years, so I've no idea what's available.

Took my, I mean our (blush) first gym. The closest one to our house at the lookout. Only dumped a lower CP poke there as the kids didn't want to lose out good ones

Took my daughter to another park with a lure today, good dozen people. The lure expired and everyone just up and left, not a word spoken. An old bloke walking his dog looked totally bemused (lol) (lol)

I bumped into a couple of kids playing Pokémon Go last night. There's a Pokestop near me I walk the dog to. Had a quick chat and parted ways. 5 minutes later I bump into them again chasing Pokémon :D

I guess I'm past saying 'oh I just do this with the kids' (lol)

I went into to Birmingham city centre at the weekend - pokestops, gyms and pokemon everywhere. There's bugger near my home and nothing at work. It's crap.

Just had a 602 CP Pigeot appear. I wasted about 40 balls including 20 good ones. Nothing was hitting the target. I got it in the end.

Those pidgeys are little f**kers! Even the unevolved ones are a prick to catch sometimes. You using raspberries first?? Makes it a bit easier.

I am using them on the higher CP pokies.

I had a Ponyta appear in my collection last night. No idea where it came from.
