  1. Well I'm going to watch "One Night In Turin" and remember what it was like to feel proud when we lost, not empty. I want to watch players who worried about whether or not they'd ever wear the white shirt, not if the garage has space for another Bentley or what colour boots my sponsor will be giving me next week. We might not have been the best then, but we fought the hardest and that's all I ever want to be able to say about England. Where are spirits of these people now? They're not in Brazil, I know that much, we probably sold them for ****ing TV rights and a lifetime supply of footlong Subways. I can't take many more of these performances, I've not felt good about England since Beckham singlehandedly dragged us past Greece with the kind of passion and pride and fight and desire and determination and hunger and sheer-superhuman-will-to-win-however-many-miles-I-have-to-run-and-hits-I-have-to-take that seems to of just evaporated into thin air.
  2. £65 sheets thank you very much Colombia and over 2.5 goals - that's a burn out and about in the Zed
  3. some diet that, suprised you get away with only 4 bog rolls... I eat the bog roll for desert after the pot noodles. Saves time in the morning
  4. How does a week's normal shopping (two slabs of lager, 14 pot noodles, a packet of frosties, four bog rolls and a can of Lynx Africa) get upset by sliding around???
  5. I just posted this in another thread about malware, but just for completeness here it is: Any Mac users getting concerned about malware, there is a group test in the Summer 2014 Macworld magazine, looking at 3 free and 3 paid offerings. I can't find a link, they obviously want to keep selling magazines so may not have put it on their site, but I recommend the mag for Mac users who want to pick up bits and pieces, so go and buy one In order of goodness in their opinion if you want to cut directly to the chase (ratings out of 5): PAID Intego Mac Internet Security X8 - £40 per year - 5 stars (built specifically for Mac, not a Windowz port) ESET Cyber Security - £30 per year - 4 stars Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac - £40 per year - 2 stars FREE Avira Free Antivirus for Mac - 4 stars ClamXav 2 - 3 stars Avast! Free Antivirus for Mac - 3 stars I can't go into the depth of how much resource the hog and % detection of known malware etc, but the conclusion to the piece starts of with this, "Do you need to run a full-time virus scanner on your Mac? The answer for most people todays is still probably no, although there are organisations for whom the added level of security is worthwhile..." FWIW, I keep ClamXav for on demand scans of email attachments, internet downloads and a regular full scan. I picked this as it is super lightweight (only 20MB compared to between 150MB and 1.5GB on the 5 others mentioned above) and scores reasonably well on detection and is FREE! If I was gonna pay, based on this group test it'd be Intego - but I must stress I've not used it.

  7. Did I miss the LSP shakedown?
  8. I'm just not convinced by the Brazilian shape. There's too much in a straight line down the middle, with very little coverage out wide.
  9. Looks mint, great job and nice to see a new project. But if I was being picky... ...with that rear end the exhaust is beautifully shown off, but it could do with a polish on the tips and back box to give em a shine.
  10. Surely not before Andy Townsend or Adrian childs? Sent from the golf club... If there's a group buy going, I'm in 1. SuperStu
  11. How much would it cost to get a local to put one in the back of Jonathan Pearce's head? Can we all chip in?
  12. Replacement struts won't assist with the pop, the angle is too flat for that. Rubber washers inside the pop spring covers or sticky bumpons on the oustide of the pop spring covers will held. Boot weight removal helps both and increases MPG and makes the car faster
  13. would put the cost of passports up a fair whack tho A monthly mail shot can't be that expensive? They could even use that new technology like email or texting... it would have to be post as they cant agree to everyone having a phone or the new number the cant work on everyone having an email were as everyone has an address which then means more staff operating the system even if its only 4-5 the cost of the new system the cost of a couple million envelopes and paper with ink each year adds up Stick an optional check box on the form, "Do you want a 6 month expiry reminder?" Charge is £1. They'd even make a few pence on that. They only need to send one once every 9.5 years

  15. I just don't get why they don't write to you way before it expires, like driving licence or TV licence. They could use these reminders to shape passport application and renewal traffic over the year, so they don't get inundated just before summer holidays. Also isn't it something like £60 for a regular application? So warning people up front would pull that money in sooner.
  16. If the battery swap doesn't work, have a read here. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/83154-remote-out-of-sync-solved-how-to-reprogram-it/
  17. Good work. It can't be easy learning something like that on the job.
  18. Looks like you've done a great job Once you do a mammoth session like that it should be easy to keep on top of it and looking tip top with simple maintenance washes and a few waxes every now and again. Nice work, well worth it.
  19. It's better than Honduras, not as good as Brazil. If your sweepo is paying places, you might get something from that. Thanks Winner takes all (a beer representing each Nation) Good luck finding the Iranian beer!

  21. Just had a Toyota Avensis as a rental this weekend for the rear seats - epic fail in expectations. I wasn't expecting much and it delivered even less. Interior is dangerously dull, it nearly made me sleep behind the wheel. The steering is obscenely light. The turbo lag ridiculous (the Zed hits 60 before the turbo kicks in on this). Gearbox was about 8 square miles in area and the gearing is bizarre, seems to go up to 10mph in first and 6th has no pull at all I could detect (up to legal speeds). However, the boot was big and the boot aperture was low and wide - this was the best thing about it. I had a Fiesta as a rental a while back, massively exceeded expectations. Great fun to drive, poke, grip, top quality interior for a small car, felt bigger than it was. I'd have one of these as a sensible car in a second!
  22. Agreed. I'm sure the pundits still think it takes 6 weeks by steam boat to get to South America when they repeat that stat, since the last WC in South America (1978) teams are better at acclimatising to foreign climates and cuisine, generally transporting the entire back-room staff to the host nation, including the bloke who runs the cafe Rooney gets his bacon butties from on the way to Carrington.
  23. Yeh,he's so bad he plays for the Premier league champions So many times last season, practically the first name on the sheet and he'd definitely be getting a new contract even if they had enough UK trained players to pick a CL squad without him.
  24. Little table update, now that it has it's proper order
