    joke/fact

    Was sent this one today....... WINE VERSUS WATER In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) bacteria found in faeces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm passing this along as a public service.
  3. You'll find the TV listings in MCN, checked my copy yesterday Thats where James Toseland lives too, I believe L
  4. The last owner of my supra had an RPS Street clutch fitted and although it was quite tough to use initially, its become smoother and more tractable with use - either that or I've just become used to it! thats 6 months on from my ownership. Hopefully yours just needs working in a little more, hope it gets sorted without making too big a hole anyway Lx
  5. Are you offering to rub in some antiseptic hun??

    IT funny

    This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause". (This is years old but it's a classic. I hope the guy won his case.) > > Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. > > Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?" > > Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect." > > Operator: "What sort of trouble??" > > Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." > > Operator: "Went away?" > > Caller: "They disappeared." > > Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?" > > Caller: "Nothing." > > Operator: "Nothing??" > > Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." > > Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??" > > Caller: "How do I tell?" > > Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??" > > Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?" > > Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?" > > Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type." > > Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??" > > Caller: "What's a monitor?" > > Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??" > > Caller: "I don't know." > > Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??" > > Caller: "Yes, I think so." > > Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall. > > Caller: "Yes, it is." > > Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??" > > Caller: "No." > > Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." > > Caller: "Okay, here it is." > > Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." > > Caller: "I can't reach." > > Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??" > > Caller: "No." > > Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??" > > Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark." > > Operator: "Dark??" > > Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." > > Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then." > > Caller: "I can't." > > Operator: "No? Why not??" > > Caller: "Because there's a power failure." > > Operator: "A power...................................... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??" > > Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet." > > Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." > > Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?" > > Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is." > > Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??" > > Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer!!!!!" >
  7. Hi hun I had the best quote from them that Sky matched but on paper they are as good as, although they don't do an agreed value. Very helpful too Lx
  8. hiya So glad she's into the supra, what took you so long to introduce her??!!! shame on you!! I've had my beast bit less than 6 months and I couldnt be without it now, have a whole new lifestyle and the biggest, longest lasting smile ever
  9. Hi Greg Just taken pics, including new leather seats too so will post hopefully tonight. tbh, I think the sidelights are a bit too much, thinking about getting the holes filled to keep a clean line along the side, as there are side repeaters on the front wings that are adequate. I'm really pleased with the result though it shows up the stone chips on the bonnet and front wings now!! lolxx
  10. Cheeky I have an allergy to kitchens anyway
  11. Well guys, for all you doubting thomas's on women's ability (or the lack of it ) with a spanner, I fitted my new facelift indicator units and wiring to my prefacelift supra I've just had a new kit fitted - proudly wearing blisters, gashes, puncture wounds (s/s mesh ) from helping with the fitting - which required the face lift lights. Previous front and skirts were VS. Found an excellent fitting guide by I-macca after doing a search on the forum, then took out my toolbox, soldering iron, insulating tape etc and set to work. Actually quite straightforward though fiddly, and they work a treat Next weekend I'll be fitting my stubby arial about to order hard pipe and silicon hose for an Apexi ind kit which will be next up after that L
  12. I find Meguires glass cleaner is great at removing the marks if the sun gets to them before you have a chance to dry them off
  13. hi fellah Welcome to the forum Have a look at these guides on our home page: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59334 They will answer a lot of your questions and set you in the right direction, good luck!! Linda x
  14. Good news rosie, hopefully in time for japshow then L
  15. Looks like someone will be asking santa for a sat nav this year lolxx
  16. Great video Henk Pity you didnt get any footage of the tsuiso - the twin drift which you missed if you left early awesome bumper to bumper thrills A really good turnout from the Z club, classic and modified 280's through to the 350Z's ... ....AND time on the track for those who wanted it too! see what some of you lot missed??!!! Wouldnt dare take my lil 'ol NA on there though lolLxx
  17. Yup, it was an excellent day's entertainment didnt recognise any faces but met up with Amo (Lambo Yellow, do Luck supra) and one of his friends. Weather great, drifting action top notch, as was the time attack - good show by Darren in the Whiffbitz Rex, quite a showman!!! This was the first year for the event, hopefully more will attend next year with a few more stalls as well Good way to spend a sunny Sunday though Lx
  18. I can sympathise. I've suffered from when I was very small, tried most things on the market. Its about finding one that suits you. I find the nasal sprays are very good, try Beconase or Flixonase, you can top up if you need to. Lx
  19. Sadly, I think your right on we're all bad as each other. Its a case of every man/woman for his/her self and safety of both ourselves, our cars and all those around us is ignored. I'd hate to have to learn to drive now, there are so many impatient, short tempered drivers out there as well as a massive increase in numbers of cars on the road. Its difficult to find a decent stretch of road without a high volume of traffice or some twat practically in your boot, until you get way out into the sticks. You just have to take a chill pill and let it go over your head.....cause there's another idiot around the next bend who's equally as bad as the last!
  20. It'l be interesting to see it up against Dee Ireland's CRD supra
  21. yay! top man! hey Rich, he can't live without forum life and we peeps lolx glad to hear it Greg, there's so much support on here, there's always a way to fix any problem....accept how to find you some good luck! hopefully its going to be a turning point to better things L lolxx
