  1. And just to be a pain, do you have any pics of the actual orange ones?
  2. Thanks Olly, I reckon that picture says a thousand words, no need to find the exact measurement but it's a gracious offer.
  3. Is it not the same in the real world too though? For example, companies head hunting someone employ an agency to make the introduction, and they then pay the agency when the other person signs. But yes, agent fees are just mental. That said, a good agent is more than just someone who argues the toss over the contract minutiae, they're almost like a PA these days for the top players.

    tyres on a budget

    Event tyres are f*cking horrible: I ran them on my MX5 because I wanted something cheap and crap that would have no grip at all. With all due respect, if you actually think that Event tyres are remotely comparable to Kumhos of any kind then I would suggest you don't really know what you're talking about. To say that the Acceleras are better than the Eagle F1s is just absolute nonsense.
  5. How thick are they? I mean, they'll protect against a light brush I guess, but what about a sustained drag against a high curb? How much meat is there before you chew through them?

    Found a Zed

    And plenty of people get bitten by buying cars from Joe Bloggs where they have zero comeback, so swings and roundabouts. I wouldn't be paying any more than £10K for a 350Z these days, unless FI and very well sorted.
  7. So sorry to hear that Wink, she has a gorgeous looking inquisitive face in that pic 23 years is a great life for a cat, if mine got anywhere close to that I'd be happy. You absolutely did the right thing, and whilst it's so hard to do it's the ultimate responsibility we take on board when we become pet owners.
  8. PSI = Pounds per Square Inch There's no reason your pressure should've risen at all. Are you 100% sure it's not always been like that?
  9. I mean, I agree it's still a massive wedge of cash, but I think it all depends on what you actually use your phone for. Calls and texts? Yeah, you'd be absolutely bonkers to buy one of these. Lots of on the go semi-pro app usage, or lots of graphics-heavy gaming? I can can see why you'd want one. Tell you what did make me stop in amazement last night, was when they said that over 90% of ALL contactless payments in the US are done by ApplePay. That's absolutely astounding! Is contactless just not the done thing in the US (I know they don't use chip and pin, and prefer signatures), or is ApplePay bigger over here than I give it credit for, or have they started a revolution over there? The other thing to make me giggle was the announcement that YOY app downloads between July-Aug 15-16 was up by 106%. Sounds amazing, until you remember that Pokemon Go came out this year and might be slightly skewing that figure
  10. The price is the same as it was last year, so in practical terms it's a price drop and you're getting a phone with better features. That's impressive.

    Ditch them all and get the 453s.
  12. Yeah, that sucks. Ditch them and move on, life's too short to be stuck with a club that's that bent.
  13. Ex?????? Yup, I quit supporting them a couple of years back after 20-odd years. A club run like that deserves no support at all, so my pennies and loyalty now go to my local club instead. Braintree Town ftw!
  14. That's an awful webpage, I've got no idea what's going on or what it's trying to say. Any chance you can summarise?
  15. I'm an ex-Leeds fan. We trump anyone at the Crap Owners Top Trumps.
  16. I dunno, if they prioritise correctly I might get much more out of it. FB could be low priority, Safari too, that's prob the most often used apps for me. And Sia was too bad, she overawed the awesome monkeys with her crapness.
  17. For how good they appear, that's very good value. Oh yeah, and the stereo thing on the iPhone is brilliant. Again, IF the volume is there and it can make a small wireless set of speakers redundant, then I may be tempted. Maybe.

    Match the rears, do not mix.
  19. POKEMON GO ON APPLE WATCH!!! I dunno, I still want to want a Watch and this is better but not quite there. The multi core in the 7 is a great idea though, but only if it really does prioritise apps correctly. The camera thing is just getting silly now, the camera in the 4 was more than good enough for pics: No serious snapper will use a phone for pics, and no drunk person grabbing a snap of a cat stuck in a box needs two lenses. So in one way it's still the best phone out there, but I still have no interest in buying UNLESS the reviews prove significantly better battery life over the 6 Plus. Then I might be tempted.

    what options

    I think the GT-R knob fits, doesn't it? I'm sure that Adrian put that on his.
