« on: 21 June 2011, 10:01:37 »

Woohoo.......love it or hate it, brand new series of Top Gear starting this Sunday. Saw the trailers for it last night and it promises to be as good as ever if they're anything to go by.

General Discussion Area / F1 Bahrain GP reinstated 30th October

« on: 03 June 2011, 15:36:23 »

Not sure they should have done with the current  situation out there. :-/

Quite a few people within F1 were also against it including one or two drivers. Apart from that, it's usually a pretty boring GP anyway!

General Discussion Area / F1 - Barcelona GP

« on: 23 May 2011, 11:47:08 »

Yet another cracking race. New rules, particularly the new tyres, has made a big difference this year. Great to see Lewis pushing Vettel for the last 10 laps and finishing only 0.6 seconds behind. I think a couple of years ago Lewis might have made a rash move to get by and taken them both out but he seems more mature now in taking 2nd rather than no points at all. Some good overtaking all the way through the field (yes Jaime.......OVERTAKING! )
It'll be interesting to see if they allow use of DRS at Monaco.

General Discussion Area / Clever registration No.

« on: 27 April 2011, 10:38:59 »

Following a van from a road resurfacing company on the way to work this morning, I noticed the reg. No. was YE5 1 TAR. Very enterprising.

I know you've been on here for a while now, but I just noticed your location and the signature under your avatar "we shag 'em, you eat 'em" 
Had tears of laughter running down my face.

General Discussion Area / English Football ain't so bad after all...........

« on: 27 April 2011, 21:22:44 »

Just watching Barcelona v Real Madrid Champions League game and it's degenerated into a farce - players sent off, Mourinho sent off, most players acting that would deserve an Oscar award and we moan about English footy!!

General Discussion Area / Anyone believe in miracles?

« on: 13 April 2011, 19:42:19 »

Just about to settle down in front of the Spurs v Real Madrid Champions League game......miracles anyone??

General Discussion Area / Webby...................

« on: 13 April 2011, 15:56:23 »

Just noticed his avatar signature "Choose the 'stink', not the 'pink'"

Now does this express a preference for ladies rear ends or has he started batting for the other side?? :-/

General Discussion Area / Shooting on Brit Nuclear sub!

« on: 08 April 2011, 16:10:27 »

This is rather worrying - a crew member can shoot two of his crew mates!!

Just as well they weren't submerged at sea.

General Discussion Area / Will someone please tell me.......

« on: 06 April 2011, 09:36:15 »

......what the hell is going on!! :-/
I log on this morning for the first time since yetserday afternoon and there's threads about post count culling, admins being banned and generally not being nice to each other and someone by the name of Tupper that seems to have a bit of an identity crisis!!
Explanations please!!

General Discussion Area / Google Chrome

« on: 29 March 2011, 12:35:54 »

Anyone on here use it? I've just started using it and thought it was pretty good and very quick, but there appears to be a few bugs in it. First, it was continually telling me that Shockwave Flash had crashed which I finally sorted out by uninstalling and reinstalling it, now every time I go to Google Mail I'm getting messages telling me Google Gears 0.5.33.0 has crashed. Looking on the Google Help website these seem to quite common along with quite a few other problems. :-?
Think I'm going back to IE8!!

General Discussion Area / Pirate radio

« on: 18 March 2011, 10:47:30 »

Watched the film "The Boat That Rocked" last night (very good incidentally) and it reminded me of just how great and influential the likes of Radio Caroline, Radio London etc. were in the 60's. They gave a lot of artists breaks that they wouldn't have got on the BBC's Light Programme at the time. They also spawned some great DJ personalities such as Kenny Everett, Johnny Walker, DLT etc. Kind of makes you wonder where music would be today without the pirates of those great days and we only had the Beeb. :-/

General Discussion Area / Insurance question

« on: 16 March 2011, 10:10:52 »

My mate's wife pranged their van recently and while the damage isn't that bad, their insurer has told them it's a write-off. They are reluctant to part with this van because it took them a long time to find one that suited all their criteria. Someone they know has told them they could repair it for around £400, so could they turn down the insurer and have the repair done privately?

General Discussion Area / OOF's gone link crazy

« on: 24 February 2011, 09:44:54 »

Seems like every thread I open has a link to another site. So what does that mean, has OOF become too boring on it's own?  :-/

General Discussion Area / Fuel taxation

« on: 12 January 2011, 09:54:30 »

How is it that the government can get away with taxing tax? Well that's exactly what they do with fuel - about 70% of the cost of fuel at the pump is duty and yet the duty is also subject to VAT. In short they are adding tax to tax. It's no different to being mugged!!
