Drooooooooooooogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a BBC4+1?

No. But it is repeated at 2:05 tomorrow morning.

The one and only time I did the pools I won about £700 – figured that lightning doesn’t strike twice and never bothered again.

Also won a CD player in a Kerrang competition.

Does it have to be a benchtop thicknesser. I’ve got a floor standing planer thicknesser I’ve been meaning to put on ebay for a while. One of these:

It’s an elektra beckum HC260. Specs here.

Photoshop Troll

That is a work of genius – baiting of the highest order. Some of it was up there with the work of this guy: 27bslash6.com/[/url]

Here you go

Just add Chunnel/ferry cost.

Is disappointed.

A striker would claim it was intended if it bounced in off his ass

You can obviously remember Jason Lee (he’s got a pineapple on his head) when he played for Forest. I once saw him score a hat-trick, none of which went in the goal in the way he intended and one of them literally did go in off his backside.

Double post

Are you sure it’s getting enough power? My external hard drives make a worrying death rattle sound when plugged into a source with insufficient grunt.

Try connecting through a powered USB hub.

I love Lego too but this is my best present ever…

My old trials gloves. Never worn since 1980 something. Didn’t know where they were till I opened a Xmas pressie off my Mrs, 2 years ago.
Ace.

I was trying to remember where I’d seen those gloves before and it’s just come to me – didn’t they have a starring role in the OJ Simpson trial? :-)

I’ve got about 60 books waiting to be read at the moment – I joined ReadItSwapIt a couple of years ago so I didn’t actually buy most of them.

I would recommend ReadItSwapIt as I’ve taken a punt and swapped for books from authors I’ve never read and been introduced to some great stuff.

I agree it’s not a perfect example of what the OP is facing and that most cases of abuse are not committed by persons unknown to the victim, but the question was about things going wrong in the system. If someone who has admitted that if released they will offend again is then given a two hour unsupervised release (at school leaving time) then there surely has been a breakdown in the system somewhere – so it was just an example of possible failings.

Plenty of examples of things going wrong

Really annoys me when people say things like that but don’t provide any.

Here’s one – Shaun Tudor.

There’s a sale on at the pi shop.

3.1 for 2.

I took my motorbike round europe a couple years ago went: UK – Netherlands – Germany – Czech Republic – Germany – Austria – Italy – Switzerland – France – Belgium – France – UK.

Only needed my passport once – to get back into the UK. Why are we so paranoid – the rest of Europe don’t seem to be overrun.

£50m well spent?

Have another donation and a bump.

If you die just short of the finish line I’ll double my donation. Deal?

I went camping the week before easter – I tried to embrace the rain but when it’s coming at you horizontally from a north easterly direction on the Northumbrian coast I decided that sleeping in a flat tent wasn’t for me.

Katie Price – WTF.

Have they scraped though the bottom of the celebrity barrel – no wit, no insight, no sense of humour, she smiles at the jokes but they clearly go so far over her head they might as well be satellites. I mean WTF.

These are definitely from 94. I had a set of these which I bought in San Francisco – a place I have only been to once – in 1994.

I have vague idea that I saw the manual for these sometime in the recent past – I can have a look when I get home at the weekend if you like. The bike with the forks on was stolen in about 1996 but being the hoarder that I am I don’t throw anything out.

I think they just need a service as they are stiff

They were always like this – at the time they were a vast improvement over the solid forks they replaced, but by the standards of todays forks they were positively agricultural.

Bruneep, you horrible little man – I haven’t even played the video and I now have that bloody song as an earworm.

Am I the only one a little suspicious about Perez having a ‘moment’ whilst trying to overtake the lead car of his teams engine supplier shortly after being ‘encouraged’ to not lose his second position.

Maybe “Checo, be careful, we need this position, we need this position” actually translates as “Checo, be careful, we need these engines, we need these engines”.

Opens thread hoping for Rachel Riley content.

Is disappointed.

few light marks

Is Realman selling scooter parts now?

Previously voting Lib-Dem gave you the luxury of not being very likely to win. When they did some difficult choices had to be made.

Did I miss an election.

Its a landslide! The power of STW eh?

Maybe politicians could take this up as a new campaigning model.

“Vote for me and I’ll send you saucy pictures of my other half.”

Wouldn’t work for everyone, Tony Blair is the first that springs to mind.

If you turn off the wifi on your phone and use 3G and wifi on your pc you can vote twice every four hours
Yes..it’s a slow day today

If you put your phone into airplane mode then take it out of airplane mode it re-connects with a different IP address. So you can vote as often as you like. This is probably dishonest so I would not do this obviously.

5 1 votes from me

So you are assuming that they weren’t aware of “the entirety of what was actually said”, which isn’t quite the same thing.

Not quite the same thing as what?

if for example I read in my newspaper that Clarkson had said on the television that all gay men should be castrated, then I think I would be entitled to complain to the BBC claiming that I considered the behaviour of one of their presenters to be unacceptable

Why would you be entitled to complain to the BBC. You didn’t hear the alleged remark first hand you are simply responding to hearsay which may or may not be a complete quote or taken in context. What if he had actually said “I believe all gay men should be castrated as much as I believe the moon is made of green cheese” but the only bit the hysterical media reported was the first half of the statement.

Just to be clear I don’t have any great love for Clarkson but I do find him vaguely entertaining as I don’t believe he means most of what he says he just says it for effect. Instances such as this just provide more fuel to his fire in that he is trying to wind up the growing number of people who seem to be in a constant state of ire looking for something to be outraged about.

A few years ago I would have been one of the people he wanted shooting (had he actually meant that) and fully support the strikers.

Didn’t this used to be called Game Over.

I don’t remember there being some random guy you could buy more Willys from when you lost in Manic Miner.

Surely that would only be relevant if they were complaining about the quality of the programme, and not about what Clarkson had said – no ?

It’s entirely relevant if they were basing their complaint on what was reported in the media and not on the entirety of what was actually said. I would guess that most people say something at some point which, when taken out of context and only partially quoted would cause offence to someone.

PEBCAK

More like PICNIC

Best. Television. Ever.

sc-xc whereabouts in the midlands are you – I’m in Mansfield and may be able to help you out.

From A New England by the Bard of Barking

“I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware”

Dick head driving the car and pathetic excuse for a man on the bike. Who goes to the authorities over something so trivial.

It may appear trivial, but if someone’s actions are dealt with at the stage where it is merely a threat then surely this is better than dealing with his actions when he actually carries through the threat.

Edit: Please ignore

Cheers Mudshark.

Looks like I will pay off my mortgage about 5 years early if interest rates stay where they are (unlikely I know).
