Disgusting, I know.

I’m sure if I didn’t have relatives in the UK and i was dishonest I could have just left without telling them and nothing would have come of it.

It’s people like that who are partially responsible for the student loans co (an american company – wtf) going crazy on the rest of us who don’t just take out loans and then flee back home.

What a hypocrite.

we COULD… but if they’re lazy good for nothings who aren’t willing to work/contribute then why should we ??

That’s not who I was talking about, but I can’t speak for others. Did you even watch the program?

Its worse than that! We’re going backwards, at a rate of knots!

hmmm. You may well be right.

I was lambasted a week ago in some other thread about social problems where I was ‘yelled’ at for suggesting that sort of thing occurs.

The sad thing is the banks are more than happy to do this, and people who aren’t in trouble are more than happy to ignore it/pretend it doesn’t happen UNTIL it happens to them.

Horrible how people are treated sometimes.

This is the 21st century for **** sake and we still haven’t solved homelessness!! WTF!

We can fly from gatwick to sydney, we can drive from dover to the south of france, we can cure once incurable diseases, we live longer than ever before, we have a robot on mars – but we can’t keep families off the street 🙁

Yeah, avoid tough love approach – will just create a rift between you. You are seemingly his last stable connection to home and the real world. Ruining that will ruin him.

I’m in no way having a go, but people seriously underestimate the impact of divorces and the importance of making do to preserve the family if at all possible – seems like a 21st century trend to me, and it’s such a shame.

He will find his calling.

Thats horrible 🙁 Could a big dog theoretically break the hutch? I hear metal bars and I just can’t imagine even a large dog being able to break them. I have to say as well if it was a bulldog, I don’t think there would be much rabbit left?

I thought you meant film director – was going to say don’t bother unless you’re a friend of those above. lol

I don’t believe you. Not given how all the iFans tell us that Apple stuff just works.

Every single thread about apple… a windows fanboy has to jump in and attempt to slate mac’s. You’re all more obsessed with mac’s than apple users.

So do us all a favor and just shut up and bug off. Your PC probably needs maintenance. Go do it.

Aaaaaand… back OT.

Yes, take the back off with the computer and plug socket off but leave the plug in (important) so it’s earthed. See if the fan’s are gunked up, check to make the sure the RAM is sitting properly, check for scorch marks on any bare circuitry too.

Wouldn’t it be more logical for them to move? Just wonderin’ …

Did you miss the part about them being old? lol

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your OS? That would eliminate your OS pretty much completely in my eyes as it sounds like a hardware issue. Faulty processor or maybe faulty RAM or something.

Try what people have been saying about your OS though, and if no juju then take it to a mac shop and they can probably tell you on the spot what it will be. Tell them it’s not the OS because you re-installed etc.

Has it been bumped or dropped at all?

Do a quick whizz round on google to search for hardware tests, do a PRAM reset as well.

Check all your applications are up to date too. Sometimes not doing so can cause problems with new OS’s but this is unlikely.

You sure wouldn’t expect wiggo was about to snap your neck with a moore style karate chop with appropriate roger moore chop sound, that’s for sure.

He’s unassuming.. and has the wiry build of the original Bond.

You could be onto a winner here!

Later that same night, in the pub with #2, he makes a big song and dance about how #1 “still hasn’t given me back the money he owes me.” Arse.

Some people are too polite to say straight up “Yes gimme my money back you plonk.” But repaying it as soon as you can afford to is the right thing to do.

That annoys me.

Surely a tour of the independent bike shops would include a second mortgage!

You don’t buy stuff in “those” shops you speak of. You talk about the profile of your cap, the weight of your bike and how bad your eyesight ‘really’ is.

It’s kind of difficult if you’re pissed the whole time because there is so much to do.

It depends what you’re in to?

Winter wonderland will burn a hole in your pocket but is OK if you like expensive hotdogs.

I’d not get too sloshed, hire a bike and ride round the parks and see stuff. Maybe a guided cycle tour? If you get one who is a proper localler and a good cyclist (you get some who’ve never seen a bike before) you will see stuff in London that will blow your mind, as well as all the cool spots the normal tourists don’t see and you can bomb about on a bike which is fun in london. Wear a helmet.

I’d get rid of the AV to begin with. You can do all you need with AV with some very simple terminal commands once a month or once a year.

Not necessarily enough to cause it to freeze but get rid of it anyway. Anti Virus for mac’s in the current world of WWW is a waste of money and memory.

How old is it?

Is this just about the OS software? Need more info for anyone to give you an answer to the freezing.

Very good friend in a very bad mood whilst out on the bikes. He was blatently lying about something and I simply pointed it out. He got overly agressive and was in my face (which I put up with). Then he started prodding my chest (which I also put up with). Then he said ‘You’re lucky you’re an old man’ I flipped and beat the crap out of him..

This nearly happens every time we went out riding with my best mates, is that a bad sign lol?

Seriously though, I know what you mean. “Oh man I was so much faster than you over the gap after that big berm. You looked kind of slow” “Say what?”

Many scuffles were had, but none of us ever punched anyone else. Although I came close nearly every ride, but on the way home were all best mates again lol.

depends whether you are fighting for pride or survival.

Pride – no. Survival – hell yes. If someone bigger than me was strangling me I’d have absolutely no problem repeatedly kicking him in the balls. Who would?

One does not simply fire up a pitchfork. One fires up a torch, and readies the pitch fork.

No pitchfork mob will ever work with you in charge sir because everyone’s hands would be on fire.

I know its off topic, but had to be done.

😯 don’t post any of your other photos woody 😆

I’ve been looking at the TA for a while too. In no position to join currently as I’m sick as, but can anyone confirm/deny the facts on employment and the TA.

Are employers required by law to accommodate your TA activities if you join and they have no legal reason to sack you?

Obviously some bosses will frown upon it and others not – but do you have to be working part time? Or can you join the TA with a full time job and your employer has to give you a day a week for training or whatever?

Have heard rumours from friends and family suggesting both but nothing concrete… so some clarity would be much appreciated. *sorry to hijack thread op but this might be relevant to you too?*

How about Robert Downey Jr?

An American? No thanks

Tom Hardy?

Yeah us Brits should treat our old folk even worse than we already do by not allowing them out of their house on certain days.

As annoying as it is, It’s a bit of a low blow having a rant about old people being “out and about”.

Italians know how to treat their old folk. (Not saying all Brits don’t – we moved 10 mins down the road from ours when they started getting on a bit so we can be there in 10mins if we need to be.)

May be a little old fashioned now but has she not heard of hot water bottles? lol

If you’ve got the wonga and don’t want to disappoint, buy something similar for him then return the late one to sony if they’ll do that.

Go for the 4.

Like others have said, the 5 just isn’t worth the extra £270 unless you REALLY want a slighter bigger screen, a slighter faster processor and a slightly better camera.

Not meaning to be argumentative here but personally I much prefer the black 🙂

Can’t really decide why I don’t like the white but it will look super clean either way if you take it to a decent powder coater.

elfin / mikeconner / nukeproofriding ?

What? Can someone please explain this? It’s making my brain hurt.

Statham

Please for the love of god no.

I think idris elba would be an awesome bond. He can come across a little cheesy sometimes though. I think sam rockwell could be a good one too, he’s an amazing actor.

Or Mark Strong!

Clearly you’re on a PC, and I’m on a Mac, and it works for me lol.

Well.. the gaming PC that I mentioned has (of course) found an issue with itself as all the PC’s I’ve ever owned seem to do, repeatedly.

It worked perfectly for about 3 months, but today I got a message in the morning saying: Chassis Intrusion, Fatal Error, System stopped.

So i’ve done the usual days worth of trawling forums, looking for solutions and tinkering with the thing.

Removed the mobo, removed the mobo battery to reset the BIOS. Can’t get into BIOS settings because the error message over rides it. No metal touching mobo components. Searched for lead that connects case sensor with mobo – there isn’t one because it’s a cheap ass case. Put it all back together, battery back in – nothing.

Seriously ticked off with ASUS right now. I’m going to have to send the thing back, or risk my warranty by soldering a wire between the sensor point and some other part of the MOBO to remove the message but risk overheating the MOBO if my soldering is bad or it simply doesn’t work.

What a load of cack.

For the love of spok no. Unless you live in the countryside? In which case you would probably have one already. So NO.

Oh dear.

Sorry flash heart, I had forgotten I wasn’t allowed to post when you’re around.

It won’t happen again.

Unless you can prove I was on here and have been banned before I suggest you stop saying it.

I have done it, and they refunded straight away.

That’s not my experience, but worth a try if it’s worked for others.

£39.99 for a fancy non-drop one with the roots still on – Burnley.
About 6 foot.

Ok maybe I didn’t get done that badly. Bought a fancy non drop one too, so I guess that makes quite a difference in price.

****. I just got had. £49 for a 6.5 footer in west sussex.

Next year ill buy an economy ticket to norway and just cut my own bloody one down then sit on it and row it back to England.

BOLLLLOCKSKSKSKS!!!

I love how two faced some of the posters on here are. A while a go someone posted an almost identical thread – the difference being he joined the forum in 2008. He got nothing but support (“boo the police are robbers, the laws are ridiculous blah blah”).

Because you joined in 2011 you were destined to get the “Just don’t speed, don’t moan, MTFU script”. Which people get lambasted for doing when a member of the old guard is involved lol.

This is how many feks they’ll give:

Thanks for that p20, will enjoy watching that later with a good old british (indian) brew lol!

Funny you mention that count as I was looking for references to the Bloodhound project on American news sites. I always find it interesting what other nations think of things like that. Couldn’t find any reference at all apart from car sites, but I suppose to them it’s not news until they break the record.

I think it’s pretty awesome that despite our size we are still the world speed record holders for a few things. Don’t the Americans generally love that kind of stuff?

I think they hold another land speed record for the wheel driven category with some turboshaft car I was looking at the other day though.

*Here it is: Vesco Turbinator – 470mph

Why do women go to chipendales?

Why do men go to Stringfellows?
