  1. I almost hope it turns out that he touched a kiddy or something, just to see the reaction of those who have signed that petition. Thought for the day: Not all racism is still considered socially unacceptable. No-one bats an eyelid when you mention that all pikeys should be strung up, for example. However, change that to Jews and people (rightfully!) get a bit more touchy about it.
  2. No need for the arguments over summer or winter tyres any more folks, Michelin have solved all our problems! PH linky New CrossClimate tyre, has all the grip of a summer tyre but is snowflake approved as well, so clearly competent in the cold as well. For the Zeds the 18"s are coming next year, and it's a middle of the road tyre so expect FK453 level grip, feel and wear rates.
  3. Get a paintbrush, and paint them through the spokes.
  4. I'd like to punch her in the face.
  5. We drove from Davenport to Miami last year, and I'd have been just as content in any old thing as a bright yellow Camero. Less worried about dinging it too! I know when I looked a few years back the cost for the Mustang was horrendous money more, and that was as 25+ in age.
  6. I wouldn't bother, I really wouldn't. Save your cash for spending when out there, there is zero reason to have a fun car for that kind of holiday. And that's coming from someone who has use of a Camero when I go out there, and I'd still rather have something a bit more practical to shove suitcases etc into. Sorry, I know that doesn't answer your question, but instead of £500 on a Mustang you'd be much better off with a £100 Focus.
  7. Shock news: The general public are idiots. In other news, grass green and sky blue.
  8. Good, dodgy dealings by Sauber here and he deserves his race seat. Utter bobbins about the safety and the car not being built round him, that doesn't stop other drivers driving the cars when one driver is sick.
  9. You do make me chuckle, Will!
  10. Well, perhaps it might be worth your while not passing comment on something you have no idea about then. It's like me posting on Mumsnet about how breast feeding really hurts my nipples.
  11. http://www.snopes.com/military/lighthouse.asp
  12. Okay, from a strictly technical POV then
  13. Show me another smart watch that does *everything* the Apple Watch does.
  14. What? That makes no sense. Assuming he punched someone, and assuming he gets fired, do you not think that would be the correct thing? That's what would happen in any other company anywhere in the world. Well, apart from WWE I guess.
  15. Another reason to ditch HR altogether
  16. Investigation? For gods sake, a fracas means a fight, it's prettybloody obvious what happened. Bin Clarkson, then bin TG as it wouldn't be the same. Hopefully then JC will have more time for writing, something he's exceptionally talented at.
  17. Looking at this again (yes, I'm desperately trying to give myself a reason to buy one), there's more cool but every day stuff you can use this for: Control of an ATV Remote for the camera on iPhone Quick sat nav using Siri whilst driving (this could be VERY useful)
  18. That's a good point: Whilst people are okay with changing a phone every couple of years, no-one does that with watches and it's crazy to think that people would consider doing that. But what more could they add to it?
  19. Premier Cru for me. Lovely stuff.
  20. You'd be surprised, lots of guys are wearing half decent watches these days. Plus if you're happy to take your £700 smartphone on site, what difference a £300 watch...?
  21. Prices are up on the UK store, if you want to see them. Not quite $ for £, thankfully. I was thinking about this earlier, and I suspect that the most common use is actually the least exciting. When you work with your hands a lot in construction, or any skilled labour job really, often you feel your phone vibrate in your jacket pocket and have to decide whether to try and stop what you're doing to answer it, or ignore it and hope it's not important. With a watch you can simply glance at your wrist and decide immediately whether it's important or not, and choose to answer it with a quick "I'm busy, call you back in 5!" if you need to. That alone could be worth the entrance fee. The £££ ones are for the elite, and they're priced exactly where they should be.
  22. I guess it could be one of those things like the original iPhone, in that you never really saw the point of having one as your normal phone did everything you need, but now you couldn't imagine not having a smartphone. If anyone can make a smartwatch popular, it's Apple. If this doesn't take off, then the idea is dead forever. As much as I love my gadgets, I genuinely think I'm going to wait this one out and see what they're actually like to use first.
  23. See, I like the Milanese loop too, but I didn't know if that was a girl's strap or not
  24. Woah, hold on there! Got that wrong. They've changed it now, you MUST have an iPhone 5 or newer running 8.2 at the minimum. I suspect it will work if you leave your phone at home or it runs out of juice, but requires one for setup or app data transfer.
