  1. Firstly I'm sorry to hear about your terrible news. Lastly, I'm happy to hear about your fantastic news. Just spotted this mate. Must have been a proper scare for you and the family. Best of luck with the treatment and get well soon
  2. I had my sound down, missed the "badum tish"
  3. You think nationality has anything to do with character and honesty? Very strange. I've only had to use the dispute section twice. The last time was pointless for me though as nothing happened, no replies.... nothing. I'll just air on the side of caution from now on. It is a good tool to let other members know about what's been happening though.
  4. Timing of it all unfortunately. My insurance is up on the 10th of August and I'm not renewing it (car is going off road for single conversion). I'm also recently back from my holidays with the family so money is a little tight. I certainly couldn't be out spending 1k+ and ditching them for a long weekend. Maybe next time
  5. I definitely wouldn't be letting £50 come between me and probably the biggest event in the Supra calander. You'll be kicking yourself if you do. When all is said and done £50 is probably a drop in the ocean for what it's going to cost anyway (Heard 4 figures mentioned previously) so surely if you just go with a cheaper brand of booze the money will take care of itself? Don't miss it mate, I am and I'm gutted
  6. I've been offered £75. If I don't get £80 by the end of the weekend it'll be gone
  7. Did you not get your coat already?

    RIP Hightower

    Wow, I hit 6'4 at 17 and haven't grown much since. I'm maybe 6'4.5 or 6'5 at a stretch.
  9. Definitely sold as seen. You are not a trader or a professional in that trade. If it's pulling on your heart strings then fair enough but I can't see any legal ramifications for telling them where to go.
  10. I was going to say, I thought they worked out about £900 new.
  11. Just found this in the garage. Still exactly the same as above. £80 posted.
  12. I've updated the list, anymore for anymore?
  13. Still got this £500 delivered. If it doesn't sell I'm just going to part it out on Ebay which will be a real shame.

    Says suspected natural causes in the paper but they are looking into it.

    Bubba Smith who played "Hightower" in the Police academy movies has died
  16. Ahh that's good. I thought you were going to be running less peak when the NOS was on What's involved in a marketing campaign? Any ideas what the sweeteners will be your end? (Free VPower? )
  17. Just thinking out loud here but with regards to the NOS and pulling the timing, would it be possible to reinstate the timing once the NOS is finished?
  18. I wonder why you're not a mechanic anymore
  19. Pfft 9s, I wanna see 8s now Absolutely awesome JP. It's amazing to think how far this car has come in the relatively short time you have had it. Gutted that I won't be going to Pod, this is one of the cars that I just have to see running in the flesh one day. Great results mate, fingers crossed for you
  20. You know what they say about small hands.......... Small phones
  21. Sorry, by 'breaking' I meant Jailbreaking I remember Gav mentioning it, I wasn't sure if he had tried it or not. I haven't looked on the dev forums for android on the iPhone. It would probably be able to port to an extent but I doubt it would be fully integrated. Night night
  22. Yeah, but can you run flash on it??? No. A TABLET PC that you can't run flash on? It's ridiculous. Everything worth having you have to pay for. Development is restricted and licensed, it's a nightmare for anyone wanting to actually do anything on. I have the iPad, many of my friends and family have the iPhone. A few of them tout it like fanbois until I show them how a phone should work. I would easily have held up my desire next to an iPhone and shown why it was better. In that instance though it was apple and the software holding the iPhone back as the iPhone4 hardware is fantastic (I think everyone would agree with that). The build quality also was very lacking on the desire, it didn't look bad until you held it next to an iPhone. FFWD onto the latest models and the iPhone hardware is blown out of the water. Just about every element is beaten now by a few contenders on the market (Sensation and SGII are the obvious ones). The IP4 has a better screen than the Sensation but the SGII wins that one overall (I really like the touchscreen sensitivity on the IP4 though). You've broken your phone and you can drag & drop etc. Lets look at the main reason for getting an iPhone, stated by yourself numerous times, 'Simplicity', 'It just works', 'Ease of use'. All those statements are true but the fact that to make the phone truely useful from a geeky technical point of view means that you have to be a tech geek to get it working properly. The other phones may involve a bit more of a learning curve in order to get a grip of the wealth of features and how to use them.... but that's only because you are able to use the various features of the hardware. Very simple example that has been mentioned, sending anything other than a picture over Bluetooth. I would have taken the standard desire over an iPhone nevermind the phone I have now. In a perfect world I would have had a hybrid of both (previously). An iPhone running android with full access to the hardware realy would have been a phone to be scared of. Style, build quality, performance with the flexibility and useability of android would blow anything on the market out of the water. The trouble is the modern phones have now caught up in the areas they were lacking, while they are still leagues ahead on the software front (for anyone other than a grass eater).
  23. Abz..... seriously? You are such a fanboi. The restrictions on the iAnything are just insane. Yes you can geek your way around most of the restrictions by installing cracked software and voiding your warranties but there are still massive limitations. The fact that you need to install a 3rd party browser for flash (that isn't available anymore as I tried to get it for my iPad) is ridiculous. The fact that they(apple) have banned it (or they had when I checked recently) is even more ridiculous. I could be here all night listing why the SGII is better than the iPhone4 but I don't have to. The professionals in this area have already spoken in their reviews and the masses have spoken with their feet. The iPhone is for people who want the easy life, as you say, the sheep who want to be part of the IT crowd and basically told what to do with their phone and their money I'd rather do what I want, when I want the way that I want. Drag and drop works for me
