My dad owns a H2 Hummer, which I've driven on a bunch of occasions. It's LHD and the width of a bus, so possibly the most awkward vehicle you could imagine using on UK roads. And yet, if you're a competent driver, it's a piece of cake. I drove 4000 miles around Europe in a RHD car last year so the same problem essentially, and there was no problem at all. Never had an issue with overtakes, you just position the car differently. If buying a manual, I can see why LHD may be an issue. If an auto, then you really have no excuse at all.

People cook beans in the microwave?! Bannination tiems!

Welcome to the third post on the thread

Cough up the extra yourself then, better than having a car that looks unfinished. Def go for all azure.

My OCD feels suitably content

Just to get enough fibre in me, really. I don't get a whole lot otherwise, and although there's a fair bit of sugar in there it's the only cereal with a lot of fibre that I can stomach long-term. My diet basically consists of: Mon - Fri Cereal Cereal Piece of grilled chicken or steamed salmon, and a load of veg. Maybe a slice of bread if I'm really peckish. Sat - Sun Whatever the hell I want.

Bowl of Frosted Shreddies for me this morning. And one for lunch. Every. Single. Day.

I quit nearly 7 years ago now (1st Feb, to be exact). Piece of cake, best thing I ever did. In that time, assuming £6 a pack and a pack a day, I've saved £15K by not smoking. Seriously guys, just quit. Just stop. It's irritating for the first couple of days, then it's actually not so bad. All this electronic cigarette stuff is a little bit ridiculous if I'm honest: You either want to smoke properly 'cos you enjoy it, or you don't want to smoke at all. Halfway house just seems like a bit of a cop out to me. And yeah, nowt worse than an ex-smoker, I know! Should do a challenge or summat. All quit together, first one to give in gets mocked and tagged, last one left gets a goodie from a trader. Or summat. I dunno. Incentives to not smoke or whatever.

My old one is, scarily.

Stupid gay iPad

I had a whole box of Jaffa Cakes for breakfast on Sunday. It was ace

I just stopped dead, because it am a real man who doesn't need this fakery to quit smoking.

It's not the heat, it's the heat combined with the humidity. I strongly suspect that quote was taken out of context.

I never really got on with .org either, oddly. Very weird place at times. Seloc on the other hand I still read every day, same as PH.

That doesn't explain the MPG of under 14, unless you've an incredibly heavy right foot or all of that is stop/start traffic.

No, but all beta testers are under the NDA, hence the reason there's very little info on it on the interweb Put it this way, as it stands I wouldn't be buying it. It felt like an MMO rather than an Elder Scrolls MMO, if you see what I mean.

Technically I'm under an NDA so can't say very much at all, but make of this what you will: Skyrim (& Oblivion, applies to both) were very tough at the start, and you had to actively avoid enemies until you levelled up enough. Combat was superb though in those. The graphics were impressive, even on the older 360 hardware, and the UI was handled very well. You always felt like you knew what you wanted to do and where you had to go, and the crafting system came naturally. In short, it was a very fun game with incredible depth. TESO is nothing like that.

Find me a forum that isn't cliquey and I'll find you a forum that's devoid of life. All the best forums I've ever used have had a core clique, but that didn't make them bad places. It may take a little longer to get into them, but once you do you get a sense of camaraderie that you don't get from the more staid forums. You wouldn't walk into a pub for the first time and start shouting your face off, so why people expect to waltz onto an internet forum and be welcomed with open arms I don't know. That said, this place is a hell of a lot friendlier than others I've been on. Spyderchat could be very rough on the noobs!

I played TESO Beta at the weekend. It was horrendous.

I found the Nikon menus on my D90 easier to navigate than the Canon equivalent. May not sound like much, but I do believe that when it comes down to it (much like I guess you've found) you're picking over the tiny details as both manufacturers make awesome bodies. My kit lens was an 18-105mm, which I find very good for most things except even at 105mm the zoom isn't great. I had to buy a 70-300 lens as well for the motorsport stuff I enjoy shooting, but really I could do with a good wide angle to complement them. I've been looking at the 10-24 lens Nikon do, but haven't taken the plunge yet.

That's great news mate, well chuffed for you
