well done

Welcome

lol, so do we have to put this in the official calendar now.

are the glaswegians that people don;t like called weegee's?

i saw this and was like....what? happy unbirthday to me

whats the battery like on it?

i'm leaning towards the one X as i won't have to pay an upgrade fee, where as the S3 will cost me an additional £90. but the S3 has a micro SD slot for expanding the memory which the one X doesn't.

And answered lol

i'm due an upgrade at the end of this month, coming to the end of a 2 year contract. currently have HTC desire. have really liked it, but the battery isn't brilliant. trying to work out what to get next. I don't like apple products so don't bother telling me to get an iphone. i know they work, they do exactly what they are supposed to do and are very user friendly. but i don;t like being tied to doing everything the apple way, with only apple software and the hellspawn that is itunes. also don;t like blackberry, so my short list is Samsung Galaxy S III HTC one X Sony Experia (what ever the top model is) and the left field choice do i dare try out a windows mobile with the new windows 8 when it comes out windows apollo on something like the Nokia n900

good job

my favourite part of glasgow was the M73, as it allowed me to go through glasgow at 70 mph agreed there is some expensive parts to glasgow, but lots of it seems rough as feck the place has got a bloomin kiss and smile named after it

free diesel means more money for you to buy shoes with

a quick google and these are the possible outcomes I heard tennis shoes hanging over a power line meant you could buy crack there. It's a time-honored tradition to throw your sneakers over the power lines on the last day of school. When I was a lad of 13 in Nashua, New Hampshire, we used to steal pairs of shoes that had been carelessly left on the sidewalk by kids who had popped open a fireplug. At this point we would play "over the wire keep away" until (a) the kid's mother, brother, father, or a passing police officer put a stop to the game, or ( shoes went up but didn't come down. When I was in the military and guys were getting ready to get out and go back to a "regular" life they would take their combat boots and paint them up all funky before tying the laces together and throwing them over a wire. I agree with the drug theory. I saw a news brief on Amsterdam, and there was a pair of shoes hanging in the ghetto where everyone does drugs. So I assume it means "stop here." Either they're meant to increase visibility for low-flying aircraft, frighten rattlesnakes away, or just for the hell of it. I read in the newspaper that shoes would be thrown over the power lines to serve as a reminder/warning of a murder that occurred nearby. This seems proven to me: as I was traveling past a home in which a drug-related murder had occurred about three months prior … a pair of shoes were hanging from the power lines in front of the home. Depending on what part of the country you are from, one shoe from a light post or sign represents the death of a gang member. Usually seen in the inner city. When I was a kid (late 60s, early 70s) the boys would tie together (1) their own sneakers that they hated or (2) sneakers of the weak and/or overweight kids and toss them over the telephone wires for fun. It usually took a number of tosses to get them up there, so the boys took this as a challenge. The fact about the shoes hanging across the overhead wire is: my wife won't let me bring them into the house after I walked across the barnyard. This is a certified true fact. Used to be a gang sign — sneakers hanging over telephone or electrical wires were to designate gang turf. I'll admit to being a former shoe thrower. After getting a new pair of sneakers, it was a common ritual in my neighborhood to tie the shoelaces of your old pair together and throw them up on the telephone wires. What else are you going to do with your old pair of sneakers? I used to teach inner-city youths in Washington, D.C., and witnessed older children throwing the shoes of younger children over tree branches and telephone lines, or a gang of children would take a single child's shoes and toss them. This was, as far as I could tell, an exclusively male pastime. The kids did this to be mean and make a difficult time of life even more difficult. One fun part about this type of kid is that if an adult tells them to stop, the adult is "disrespecting" their right to do whatever they want. The other fun part about some of these kids is that they are armed. I am not restricting my criticisms to children in inner-city Washington either. There is no solid cause-effect going on here. Just your everyday kid hijinks. I suppose you could say it's a way of marking territory. Shoes can be seen hanging all over the beach area here in San Diego, over lampposts, power lines, trees, etc. It's as pointless as jamming gum in water fountains or throwing water balloons at cars. Just one of the things kids do. So there you have it. It's either a harmless prank, a rite of passage, or a sign of the end of civilization. You figure it out.

PS i believe there is another wales meet in late autumn i think, alternativly go find some local tunnels.

your lucky your not my wife, and feet stamping would result in me leaving you behind who's paying for the holiday, he who pays gets to choose. or alternatively new car trumps old car.

my HTC goes into standby, but its always on, if you turn it off the alarm doesn't switch it back on like my old phone did. apparently the S3 tracks eye movement so as long as your using it it stays on.

in America it symbolises theres a dealer on the street. i was up in glasgow last weekend, i loved the sign that said, something on the lines of "save a life; don't carry a knife!" got a photo somewhere will dig it out later

forum has been crashing out for me lots recently or taking an age to load, have generally left it to its own devices and come back later. an update and a refresh sounds good though.

I reckon one of the mods must have neils some where in a jar like this and they move it around so he doesn;pt know who's got them, bit like davey jones and his heart

its not so bad on small parts, but laquer does funny things. if you're to fast you get orange peel or dusting, to slow and you get horrible runs. i know you can get runs in paint, but laquer seems to have a mind of its own, you need to know where you want to start and finish so you don't go over the same spot twice etc.

home painting is do able, but clean environment is key, and patience, to be honest painting is easy laquering is an art form.

for £200-£300 fist upgrade how about one of these?

i had the red ones on mine when i refurbed the wheels on the zed, in hindsight i should have gone with either black or silver. and i may well get some in the future when i refurb the 20" BBS detroits i know exactly why they are great, you know that feeling you get when you curb your nice wheels, usual wanting to scream blue murder feeling. but now replace that with a shoulder shrug and a meh! this make life such a relief; they were great.

glad you had fun looks to have been a good holiday
