  1. Bah I did look, it's a year old didn't see it
  2. I went to a stag do last year and we hired out a big old manor house with a huge pool, wide screen TV (football was on ) and a games room. There was about 10 of us and it was a nice relaxed long weekend with a lot of beers and time to just chill out in the pool in the great sunshine. On one of the days we got a good deal at a paintballing place which was a laugh also. I had a friend who went to a stag do recently in Poland and he and his friends got a severe beating from some locals, had all their money stolen and were literally chased out of town .
  3. Just wondered if we have anyone musical here and if so what do you play etc. I've played the guitar since I was 8, but only really started taking it seriously when I started working full-time when I was 18. Unfortunately by then I had forgotten how to read music and I missed out on a lot of those years of being able to pick stuff up quickly as children do, so I could have been a little better than I am . I solely play acoustic guitar (fingerpicking and the like) and never plug in an electric guitar any more... I also like collecting guitars and have bought & sold a few nice ones over the last few years. I have started to try and teach myself to play the harmonica as blues can be good fun to play & record but it is a lot harder than I thought it would be and need to find time to really sit down and practice. So who plays what? We show off our cars so now show off your instruments (no pun intended!!! ).
  4. Never done a Fantasy Football team before (done the NFL league though as I love American Football). Might give it a go anyway... It may help if I knew all the positions in football first though . Blah, I'll wait until the new NFL league .

    Fail

    I noticed this advert the other day too. Quite worrying really as someone could part with a lot of cash after being told completely wrong information.
  6. Great pictures . By the way, if you copy the location of the file and put it in it won't put it as thmbnails Really easy if you use Firefox, right click and chose "copy image location." Drool:
  7. It's been happening for hundreds of years, but in more "modern" times musicians (and of course other well known people) have been killing themselves due to drink and drugs. We can legislate as much as we want but people will still do it. The USA have far stricter punishments for drug possession but they have a drug issue that far surpasses ours in the UK and on the flip-side, Amsterdam have far more lenient laws on drug use, but their drug issue is far worse than they let on.
  8. I never liked Amy Winehouse, but I can't really comment, my favourite musicians were all drug users and/or heavy drinkers... Hendrix, Keith Moon etc etc. What I never liked about Amy Winehouse was how vile she could be to her fans though.
  9. The value of scrap is so high at the moment, people are parking up next to cars and using hydraulic cutting equipment to get the cats off.
  10. Here's a link someone posted in the media section with loads of tips & advice on photography .
  11. I started using Cydia when I had an iPhone 2 and since have had the 3 and am now on the 3Gs. I haven't bothered with it on this phone as I found whilst Cydia was good it was a pain in the rear. It's good to hear it has really taken off and I may have to look at breaking this one now. In going to skip the iPhone 4 and wait for the next one now.
  12. If you can find time, do it yourself it's a fairly easy job (although I haven't done it on a zed before) which you would punch yourself for paying 2-3 hours labour for.
  13. The electric switches moves the seat forward/backwards and the back rest. There are a couple of knobs on the door side of the seat which changes the height etc .
  14. Heh, learn something new everyday .
  15. I think a doctor has to do a health check, but not being a doctor, nor elderly, I don't know what that health check includes.
  16. I had finished work, so quickly parked up at a local Waitrose to get a few bits as I knew traffic would be bad near Tesco. I parked up and as I walked to the entrance I heard a screech and saw an old Volvo go flying forward down a drainage ditch (about a 10 foot deep slope). I ran over as did a few other people and helped the couple out of the car, engine still going and still in gear revving away... The gent driving the car was about 85 years old as was his wife, so an ambulance was called to to be sure. The car was pulled out by an AA man on his dinner break and lets just say it will be going to the breakers. Fortunately both the occupants still had their seatbelts on and were fine except a few bruises (taken to hospital to be sure by the ambulance crew). When speaking to the driver, he said that he had parked up, sneezed, blacked out for a second and hit the accelerator launching the car forward. I had two major concerns, one was the fact he and his wife thought it was a simple accident and didn't see much more to it. The second was the fact that if a sneeze was enough to cause this poor guy to black out, how serious of an accident could he cause on a motorway at rush hour? I'm not for removing everyone's driving license at a certain age as everyone is different, but should there be much more stringent tests needed to retain a license past a certain age? Had a young kid (or anyone) been passing in front of this car at the time, they would probably have been crushed to death. Fortunately, nobody was seriously hurt So what do you think about driving past a certain age? My dad, even though still fairly young (late 50's) says that when the day comes he doesn't feel comfortable driving any more, he will stop. Some people I fear aren't so forward thinking.
  17. Don't worry about silly questions, we've all been there (and some are still ).
  18. . Seems 370z ownership is doing well considering the cost of fuel these days .
  19. Why? Comedy value Attacking a seated 80 year-old man from behind. Oscar Wilde lives. Agreed. Things like that could cause the average 80 year old (or a lot younger) to drop dead from a heart attack, so what started off as a "protest" would have ended in manslaughter...
  20. if these are still for sale after I get paid I will crunch some numbers and may take these off you . Are these filters cleanable or do you have to replace them? How dirty are they and how quickly do they get dirty. Pete
  21. Congratulations on the buy . Any plans to modify it at all?
  22. Congratulations on the purchase, shame the July weather meant you couldn't drive home with the top down. Are they GT4 alloys? If so gimme . They are awesome looking wheels.
  23. If I had won, I'd be on the phone to Jay Leno http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/the-cars/
