Mission Impossible was amazing for speach.
Paradroid on the C64 was a mold breaker too for shear game play and depth.
On the Amiga Syndicate changed my view of RTS/career type games.
Colin Mcrae rally and Doom for the first time were the jaw dropping PC moments for me!

As for my youth, in the arcades games such as:
Starwars with its skonky vector graphics (before elite).
Space Harrier for shear playability
Gauntlet was amazing for multiplayer.
Paperboy for graphics in its day was jaw droppingly good.
Double Dragon was also a fave and was the best of that type of game.

As for consoles?
I suppose it depends on what you play.
Games such as Sonic, Road Rash and COD etc were platform defining.

Can’t wait for PS4!

Would people use coffee bags if they gave a decent cuppa?

Sad news. Love out to Smudge and Family.
🙁

Whatever unit you choose you’ll meet a great bunch of people on the whole an have many amazing times. Goodluck.

This is true.

Don’t worry. Your lack of technical knowledge makes you the perfect Apple customer.

Sent from my iPad.

Its a commitment and will take over your weekends and a chunk of midweek.
Some great people in the TA and these days its not an IF but a WHEN you get deployed.

If you can make the time and want a new and armed circle of very close friends then go for it.

Its just a 7 year old pc…therefore will die with anything more than a bit of internet and java games.
It has nothing to do with Apple vs PC.

pik n mix…. wouldnt worry about the Urine/teeth thing. If he leaves opening his zip as late as he leaves ordering his presents then he will just end up with wet pantaloons.

OP: chill out!

Sad loss. The world needs more mad, intellectual, eccentric giffers like Patrick.

A life well lived sir!

Grum, thats because in your day the miners strikes were on. Coal were a novelty!
I grew up thinking that the days of living like Buck Rodgers were around the corner….I mean we had managed to get PacMan onto a handheld LED console….interstellar travel must be surely around the corner.
Ah…..wilma.

grum: you sound like an old fart.

🙂

If you have an original email from sony quoting the original date (or other evidence) then the law is ENTIRELY in your favour.
The original date was part of the contract you entered into. Sony in changing the date have broken their end of the contract.
Personally I hate sony, so would cancel anyway and buy an Acer or any other brand.

Kick ass.

Oh and read this:

And what about Ebay and Paypal?
Raking in huge profits from UK sales…..lets make all these companies pay their way in the society in which they opperate.

Lets agree to differ on maplin.
The ones in Leeds tend to stock a lot of no name motherboards and low end no name graphics cards and other components. The lack of recognised brands (eg saphire, corsiar, gigabyte etc), low turnover of stock and higher prices than ccl and overclockers means its the last place I would go for a pc.

I agree the staff are very helpful geeks of the finest order, and their special offers can be good on certain items, but they specialise in buying random kit from the far east and flogging it at huge mark ups. Lovely shop, for novelties or proper electronics.

Maplin sell overpriced outdated crap.
Building from scratch:
Intel core i5 (even from me who has all Amd kit!)
8gb of corsair or similar ddr 1600 memory.
Decent powersupply (corsair again for me)
Coolermaster case for aprox £70.
£90-£150 for either amd or nvidia graphics.
Add cooler, hdd, optical drives to suit.

Any more than that is excessive for all but the most committed gamer.

I would always spend extra on making it quiet, and dont forget a nice keyboard and mouse….both my kids love backlit keyboards. Daughter wants a gigabyte osmium for xmas!

Can’t believe no one has mentioned FENIX yet.
Fantastic quality and much better than any petzl etc I have ever seen.

Brill!

Concussion, but also a good chance of low blood sugar. I work with a few diabetics and low blood sugar sends em mental. Tends also to become more agressive/irratable with low bloods. Did the lad seem angry or just nervous?

have a chipped wii with controlers, board, random selection of games.
have two controllers and two nunchucks.

Offers?

Definately get a clavinova if you can, miles better than the others if she is learning to play as an instrument, rather than composition.
If you get a second hand basic one then you will still get most of your dosh back in 2 years time if she upgrades or gets bored.

Looks good! like the change in tempo 2/3 in.

Alpkit stuff is brill for bivvies and mats.
Ton, have a pop into go outdoors at pudsey or wakefeild as they have a good selection of bags.
For me a nice down one is always preffered. Have Rab and alpkit ones, all good.

mW: Thoughts and best wishes to you and yer missus. Dreadful news, but lets see what the results show!
My neighbour had a brain tumour removed this year and has an excellent prognosis, but it all depends on location, size and how aggressive it is.
Cancer sucks, but STW is one of the best anti cancer treatments and support networks I have ever seen.

Use the support from the sincere and kind people on here that offer it to you.

love and regards.

chb.

Not a chance. Might not embrace fully, but leaving would be unthinkable.

No need for one.Screw all the adjuster threads all the way in. Pull cable hand tight. Screw out adjuster thread to take up any slack.

Job done.

Fish and chips has to be in dripping and prefrerably Haddock, not cod.
Pollock is bloody awful.
Seasonality has a lot to do with quality of chips. Some great chippies near Leeds, but a few fry the chips at too low a temperature.
Heard that seaside fish is “too fresh” to fry well. Apparently waiting a day or two avoids it being all soggy and excessivley moist.

Love fish n chips.

Coes in crossgates leeds is my fave.
Recently tried robin hood fisheries near wakefield amd though the chips were brill the fish.

The old Harry Ramsdens was recently taken over by the wetherby whaler chain, they do fairly good offering!

carbon bars make a bigger difference.

wife has wildfire s …..great first smartphone

I think turbines look graceful.

No, already married to by far the best of the bunch.

If two years old then you have no right to complain or reject.
Just remember the brand and buy different next time.

Have you found the yellow streliztia? mandela from memory …i think. we tried and failed.

Also leaves grow from the centre, its these that form the clump forms. In good growing conditions and with some feed ours grew about 4 or 5 leaves a year.

They like lots of sun.
Ours was best in the conservatory.
We watered it greatly in the spring and summer and hardlly at all in the winter (roots dont like being cold and soggy).
never had any plantlets, but lots of leaves and flowers until it caught weevil and had to go.

lovely!

Leeds born and bred, know the place inside out.
Ton’s analogy is too simple. Leeds is a real patchwork quilt, with areas going from lovely to dire in. few 100 metres. Personally I like this. There are few truly horrid areas, and few truly proper posh areas.
East leeds is my home area (Seacroft and Crossgates), now live between Rothwell and Garforth and find it perfect for a working family.
Great motorway links, good schools, no real rough area….just a few rougher streets!

Can you confirm that you are working in Shadwell?
Also what family and social life considerations are important to you?

Lots to choose from, but each area is different.

Poshest bit: Allwoodley and Adel
Worst bits: Gipton, Halton Moor, some bits of seacroft (dufton approach), beeston, harehills, armley

Sensible bits: roundhay, crossgates, thorner, garforth, woodlesford, cookridge etc etc

Lovely city….good choice!

Leeeeeds accent sometimes. But in posher company I dont have a huge accent, other than generic Northern (proper!) pronunciations.

cheap merino is false economy. Embers is the best I have ever bought.

1.82m and an 18incher here.

Food film, with annoying camera work.
Follows the book fairly closely.
Second and third books are much weaker than first book. Ending of trilogy is very poor in the book, but I can imagine with a bit of rewriting the film ending could be much better.
