General Discussion Area / Caught On Camera, TB having a Moment!

« on: 20 June 2011, 19:38:11 »

TB and I changed the bushes on his Elite on Saturday morning.

Due to the weather conditions, I decided it was best to use one of the sheds at the heritage centre.

Whilst there, TB spotted something he rather liked so I grabbed a picture of him 'having a moment'.



It turns out he rather likes dumpers

General Discussion Area / Need a new desktop PC

« on: 29 October 2010, 21:49:35 »

Mine is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Needs windows 7 and must be capable of running my TV card and a few games.

I have a 24 inch widescreen Samsung monitor so dont need another screen.

Thinking of the Dell Studio XPS8100 which, with discount codes, I can get for £674 (inlcuding the wireless keyboard and mouse plus delivery).

Any other good offers people have spotted?

So that was nice.
