Kindle and phone are micro USB, check that the MP3 and the camera are the same – lots of them use mini USB (and the photo shows a mini USB).

Although even if they are different, two cables is easier than another charger.

Spare pair of pants and extra large sofa needed before I’ll watch that again.

Lifted this from another website. Read it and tell me why we need another change in the law:

A statement by the DPP under the last Labour government, Ken McDonald, talking about what is prosecutable and what is not::

“Householder/other victim not prosecuted:

Robbery at a newsagent’s. One of the two robbers died after being stabbed by the newsagent. The CPS did not prosecute the newsagent but prosecuted the surviving robber who was jailed for six years (Greater Manchester);
A householder returned home to find a burglar in his home. There was a struggle during which the burglar hit his head on the driveway and later died. No prosecution of householder who was clearly acting in self-defence (Derbyshire);
Armed robbers threatened a pub landlord and barmaid with extreme violence. The barmaid escaped, fetched her employer’s shotgun and shot at least one of the intruders. Barmaid not prosecuted (Hertfordshire);
Two burglars entered a house armed with a knife and threatened a woman. Her husband overcame one of the burglars and stabbed him. The burglar died. There was no prosecution of the householder but the remaining burglar was convicted (Lincolnshire);
A middle aged female took a baseball bat off a burglar and hit him over the head, fracturing his skull. The burglar made a complaint but the CPS refused to prosecute (Lancashire).

Examples of Prosecutions

A man laid in wait for a burglar on commercial premises, caught him, tied him up, beat him, threw him into a pit and set fire to him (Cheshire);
A number of people trespassed on private land to go night-time fishing. They were approached by a man with a shotgun who threatened to shoot them. They ran away but one of the men was shot in the back with a mass of 40 shotgun pellets (South Wales);
A householder lay in wait for a burglar who tried to burgle his shed. The householder shot him in the back (South Yorkshire).”

HTC One X here – it took a couple of weeks to get used to the size of the thing after two years of using an HTC Desire, but the extra screen size really is useful. Get a decent case for it *immediately* – I dropped mine onto concrete on the second day, dented a corner but it did survive. The back cover doesn’t seem as scratch resistant as the old Desire. Tons of memory, very fast, great display, great camera, and it’s converted me to Dropbox so overall I’d recommend it.
Oh and some of the made-for-Tegra games are just beautiful (not that I’m much of a gamer).

Edit: One more thing…I’m getting almost 2 days battery life as well, double that of the old Desire.

I went out with a girl who went out with a Proclaimer (I forget which one). Do I win a prize for lamest claim?

Oh and a mate of mine went out with Zoe Ball. She used to hang out with us when she was a chubby teenager.

Posted this a few days back, but I think it’s rather nice so worth another look:

with bike rack:

My favorite at the moment is Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Surely the only way this is a ‘guilty pleasure’ is if you actually are a serial killer?

My wife couldnt get her head around it for a while.

I don’t know whether to feel sorry for you or envious.

A sponge.

I wanted to wash my car, realised I didn’t have sponge, so set off for Halfords. Literally 10 yards from my house, lying in the middle of the road was a large, brand new, bright yellow, car washing sponge.

So I took it to the police station, no one claimed it and 6 months later it was mine home.

I’m eligible for an upgrade on Thursday, but my contract doesn’t actually run out until November – should I wait til then to contact Vodafone, or contact them now?
I’d like a free HTC One X, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, and at least 600mB data, preferably for less than £30 over 24months, which doesn’t seem to be beyond the realms of possibility.

just a guess…

but hopefully for the OP’s missus, not a wild stab in the dark.

Dear god kaesae, what’re you, 14 or something? Shouldn’t you be writing some whiny poetry about that girl you’ll never **** talk to instead of this inane claptrap?

You couldn’t see it as you drove towards it?

Who cares? It was an accident. Company insurance pays.
They might be a bit more cautious about lending PJ the pool car in future though.

I’d agree with footflaps – accidents happen.
If it’s a minor scrape the decent thing is to offer to pay, if it’s more major the company can claim off the insurance. Sounds like your boss is being an arse to prove a point.

How Cav Won the Green Jersey, Ned Boulting’s brief roundup of last year’s Tour follows on well from How I won the Yellow Jumper. looking forward to this year’s book.
The Bicycle Book, Bella Bathhurst (for the alliteration if nothing else)
A Race for Madmen, Chris Sidwells – not bad, the conversational writing style got on my nerves a bit, but it does a good job of covering 90-odd years of the Tour.
I wanted to like David Byrne’s Bicycle Diaries, but just found it a bit dull.
Bike Art published by Ginko Press is very nice to look at…

If you want surly staff and poor service you should try Air France, Iberia, TAP

F***sticks, flying TAP for the first time in a couple of weeks, are they that bad?

SBAGOWI?

Edit: It’s unanimous.

Whenever I read MTFU my immediate thought is “FTFO, you self-righteous prick”, so not fussed either way really.

I think you need to hold the mirror up and take a good look in it.

I think you need to get off that high horse.

Bad news for you is that they will need more of your time not less in the future

And that’s bollocks too.

Looking forward to the sheep dog trials in Rio.

I think it’s bumming

What, again? Worst summer ever.

Richer Sounds.

You can claim the cost of the extended warranty back if you don’t use it in 5 years.
Wonder how many people do though – I’d be eligible this year, but I’ve got no idea where the paperwork is.

*pushes breakfast away, suddenly not hungry any more*

I’ve sort of drifted through different jobs and ended up as a bit of jack of all trades – very useful for the job I’m doing now (bit of project management, bit of mechanical/product design, bit of electronics, bit of supply chain management, bit of tech sales), but it makes it difficult to see where I would go if for some reason I lost this job.
I regret not having a core skill or qualification, something to define my career by, I guess.
I blame my O level Maths teacher, it later turned out I was actually quite good at maths, and could have studied mech design at uni after all…

Sorry, I thought you meant the Dad’s race at School Sports Day. Winning that is definitely a faux pas.

Take a deposit via PayPal, the rest as cash on collection?
Your fees would be lower – no point paying more when you’re not protected anyway.

If you buy the Humax box you get the cable with it – if you have a single line from the dish you use it, if you have dual line you don’t need it.

Not scarts – it bridges the ‘LNB in’ sockets. Looks like a lower case ‘h’ where your cable from the dish plugs into the top of the ‘h’ and the two bottom bits of the ‘h’ plug into your LNB in sockets on the box.
This is where a picture would be more useful I imagine…

I got a reconditioned Humax 500Gb HD box – £180 down from £250 I think. Looks like new, has a year’s warranty. Certain Humax boxes will let you record one channel and watch one of a limited range of other channels simultaneously with only one feed (or record two channels and watch a third with a dual feed).

Holy conspiracies! You could be 5th in line for the throne!

Man Utd played Everton.
As neither of my parents are football fans…insert your own ‘ball games’ gag here.

I prefer Bose-Higson:

Thanks for all the replies, SingleTrackWorldypedia saves the day again.

That everybody’s just winging it.

Get a 10 foot or 12 foot one. Otherwise, what’s the point if you can’t embarrass yourself in front of the neighbours join in the fun?
Also – don’t jump drunk, and don’t jump in the pitch dark with torches. My kids still talk about that particularly dangerous suggestion of mine two years on…

Have a look at ‘interchange fees’ on Wikipedia. The fee is made up of a few different components, but does seem to add up to 2% – 5% as mike says.
Seems to be that the card issuer (bank, store etc) gets a cut, as does the brand (VISA, MasterCard), and the acquiring bank (the retailer’s bank).

Crap answer, but it depends…on the retailer, volume and value of sales.

There was a Hammond Pickles in the ex’s family somewhere – none of the miserable buggers thought it was remotely amusing though.

Used to deal with a guy called Genius in China. Sadly for comedy he was actually quite clever.
