along mate. Loads of places to buy mods just right here on the forum, just remember to show us what you've been up to!

With respect, I think that argument's already been won - whistleblowers rule and so they should. The important challenge (and the theme of this thread) continues to be racism. Let's not get diverted. The thread subject is Clarkson. The original post links to an article which clearly states that this is "unseen footage". The OP has specifically asked, "So what's peoples thoughts on this topic after today's news from the mirror?" The Public Information Disclosure Act (whistleblowers) not only goes in to the type of disclosures under which people are protected, but also the method that the disclosure is made, with specifc reference to the press, and what recourse should be taken before disseminating information to them. Given those things, I fail to see why what I've written is not relevant to the thread.

IMHO, it's textbook JC, he loves to flirt around emotive/sensitive subjects and be all, "it's PC gone mad, I'm just a bloody bloke, saying bloody blokey things, just like down the bloody bloke pub with my bloke beer". He's not got any actual gags so he does "humour" via controversy. Then there's a bit of press coverage, it goes away, job done. However, he's playing with fire on this one, also with the bridge wordplay in the Burma episode and the Mexican thing a while back, it starts to build a profile up - he should just leave this subject alone and upset the Greens and Guardianistas and Cyclists with his CO2 emissions and climate change denial stuff. He's turning into a real life Partridge, and not in a funny way. FWIW I don't think he's "a racist", I personally think that's more defined by how you approach and treat people than use of language, but he's so close to the line here that I don't know where it is in relation to his enormous, tedious mouth. As said above in other posts, it'll make no odds to anyone in the real world but the growing professionally offended culture we're incubating in the UK will have a field day. I'm all for avoiding people/programmes that I don't like/enjoy (as opposed to banning them or whatever else), but that's not enough for everyone and plenty will have had their knives out for a while now. He's undoubtedly worth millions so it's not like he's going to be impacted in any way, whatever the outcome. He just might have to sit in the racist corner with Ron Atkinson whilst the camera points elsewhere in future. What I do think is intriguing is the question of the ethics of someone leaking potentially sensitive and offensive outtakes outside an organisation that employs them.

What are you currently doing / done / or thinking about doing ???
Stutopia replied to Suits's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Could you not just extract them and save them externally ?? I've got 7 years worth in my Outlook. If it was my personal stuff yes but it's for work and we're moving to "the cloud" and I can't have too much personal storage and they've got to be on a certain server or the exchange flips out. Blah... Blah... Blah -

Aaahhhh bless! Well there was this one time... and I was all like yeah man.... but he was like, whatever... so I flipped him the bird... and he was like no way... so then I went really, really fast in a straight line to get the kill... but I was like,so just outside a school... then there were these kids who came out... and they were like playing with a football... so I was like fully MAX FLAME DUDE... then there was some oil on the road... and I was like wooooooaaaah and spinning even though there was no corner... then they like squashed all over my windshield... then I was like totally, in prison... then this massive douche comes up to me... and he's like all, 'put this in your mouth weiner boy'... and I was like totally not in a position to argue -

along, good luck finding The One. -
Absolutely right. How can anyone delude themselves into thinking they have the right to kill for no reason? They don't. That's what facists do. Is anyone?

Nice shots, there's some beauties there.

Isn't that the sign for summoning Batman?

I know you mentioned you checked the connections, but I believe some owners have had success from deleting them completely ans soldering the wires together. WARNING please don't do this until someone cleverer comes along and confirms this won't explode your airbags in your face.

Forget bird scarers, you need something more serious.

What the hell that supposed to be? Japanese Bird Scarer! To be used where you want to scare birds (all kinds, not just Japanese). You could make it bigger so the noise is louder, this is a little 'un. So I will need either a water tap outside or wait for it to rain? Lol Not sure little one will scare birds away...and neighbours won't be happy about loud noise lol Scares birds too! Go bigger for more scare. Just needs a small tank and a pump, simples!

That was brought in to stop the Bay City Rollers from driving to gigs.

Yeah, right - of course you did. Oh, 'Faye' now, is it? I think she's probably just sitting back & gigling a bit. I know I would be, unlike poor old SuperStu, who seems to be suffering from a temporary sense of humour bypass I can't even troll on a trolling thread? Can I troll a troll on a trolling thread or is that to far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well if you're going to troll some more then I'm going to pedant. That should be "too far?"

It'll certainly produce some gains once you get it hooked up to that washing machine
