  1. and when you get to Virginia you'll be able to tell the married couples real easy there will be tobacco juice on both doors of the pickup =))=))

     

     

    I think our power supply is 240v but you will have to excuse me I can't stop laughing at the randomness of PM's post above =)) From power supply to hookers in two pages !!! :lol:

     

    @polopony.... =)) when i was last over there i was given some "Dip". I can't see the enjoyment of it as it burned the hell out of my mouth and tongue, although I now see why you spit....... :&

     

    @lfcrule... i know, i'm in so much "Pain Man" from =)) so hard

  2. And when you're through looking at space...try looking down on the Earth.....with this.

     

    yeah, i tried to install this many months ago but window popped up with some kind of error, so i opted for Google Earth instead. Although that was on the last HHD and since then it's been replaced so I think I'll have another go at it :thumbup:

  3. My mother has been into astronomy for about 15 years and uses many different programs on her p.c. which I've messed about with myself while visiting her. Just out of intrest i had a look at it last night and it seems pretty good, some of her programs are very dated in comparisson, the only thing i noticed was the zoom fuction was a touch slow. I'm not complaining as this is a freebee, but i will pass the link on to her, I'm sure she'll let me know if It's any good....:thumbup:

  4. I don't think I have seen such switches on stuff for sale here in England

     

     

    I have to agree with lfc' in that none of my electrical goodies have an alternate power settings on the back and i don't recall ever seeing said switches/buttons on any items sold here....?

     

    The general consensus seems to be " get new goodies ", i may need to work on the missus a bit longer to convince her, if that fails I'll pass her over to my " reputable source ", I hope you are ready for that polopony....... :thumbup:...........=))

  5. Thanks for the info Movie Junkie, that means everything i have here will be no good as we run 240v. I suppose in some ways thats not a bad thing as i now have an excuse to replace everything that is slow and dated :D

  6. Can i ask our American cousins what power supply you run on over there. :unsure: I did ask my girlfriend but she just gave me that blank expression :| "don't ask me I'm a girl, i don't know stuff like that". I know you have a these real funny two pin plugs, but i didn't find out what voltage you run. The reason is I'm soon to be settling in VA and i need to know if all my electrical hardware is going to have to be replaced or can i ship it with me, ie, TV/ DVD/Surround Sound/ Desktop/Laptop and so on. This is something i need to remedy as I've got to either get rid of it all or organize shipping for all my goodies........ :)

  7. most laptop drives are replaceable, BUT usually at a crazy price .

    if your considering changing , it would work cheaper to buy an external writer ( providing you have USB2.0 or Firewire)

     

    Shamus , whats a "Hoon" ? :o

    I did just that after nothing but problems with my Laptop writer and haven't looked back since. My burns have been 37 for 0 (no coasters) with the exception of a couple not verifying. :)

     

    @Shamus....that's a word i haven't heard in a very looooong time, in fact not since i was in Brisbane a more than a few years ago =))

  8. [

     

    It's the slang. Like that Jerry Seinfeld Amex commercial where he goes into a restaurant and orders "bangers and mash." Now mash is potatoes, that's easy enough. But what the hell is/are bangers???

     

    =))I think you call them "links" but to us they are sausages. The only other difference that has really stuck is when i mention "biscuits", as well call them, you call them "cookies" ;)

     

     

    courteous of RecipeTips.com.....

    A British term for the English sausage that became popular during World War II during a time when it was made with pork meat. The typical Banger made today may contain a mixture of beef or pork meat with cereal or rusk added as a filler. The term "Banger" arose during the war era as the sausages were roasted and exploded due to the excess water contained in the sausages. Since the Banger is a mildly seasoned sausage, various counties in the country add their own seasonings such as fresh sage, pimento, and thyme to name a few, to enhance the flavor of their sausages.

  9. I am an Anglophile. Surrounding by English authors, English music, English movies. But sometimes I have no idea what they hell Brits are saying. Especially the dialects outside of London. The English spoken in Ulster doesn't even sound like English. I don't listen to everyword, if my mind wanders a bit, it becomes gibberish to mein ears.

     

     

    =)) this sooooo applies to my girlfreind, and she'll hate me for saying it. Although she is used to my accent I more often than not have to translate what my family/mates have said.

     

    @ lfurule, my first ever football match was Liverpool /Westham back in '77 and we beat the hammers 3-1....so he's hoping today will be no different.

  10. db is the real criminal here :mugshot: He has been murdering optical drives for years now !!! :lol:

     

     

    He does seem to drive them hard.

     

    On the other hand, to be fair to him, it is a bit of an addiction. julli-baby.gif I took it up only in Aug of '03 and I've already had five on this Vaio.

     

    Ouch..... :(

  11. Thanks Jill - yours was a much more diplomatic response, I like our American cousins in the forum but they sure are dumb getting football confused all the time. :)

     

    =)) i have to be careful on this one as my girlfreind is American and she hates it when i correct her everytime she mentions " Soccer "

  12.  

    Thanks LFC, i didn't know that. I've just set ZoneAlarm to allow animations, I'm now mesmerised by your rotating Avatar.... :)

     

    ! ! ! , thats perverted :lol: , i could understand if it was a good looking woman , but not a football club logo :wacko:

     

     

    =)) =)) you know how us Brit's love our Football...

  13. Have you installed ZoneAlarm or similar recently mate ? I know I had this problem when I first installed it it was in the spam settings somewhere I think and there was a tick box that stopped animations on screen. When ticked smilies were no longer animated.....

     

     

    Thanks LFC, i didn't know that. I've just set ZoneAlarm to allow animations, I'm now mesmerised by your rotating Avatar.... :)

  14. I USED to :angry: still have my ancient Playstation from 1997, with the parallel port in the back. Until UniversalVideoGames.com, the guys I sent it in to repair it, since they'd done repair work for me before, went out of business, back INTO business, and back OUT again, absconding with my system! :swear:

     

    I still have my PS1 and games sitting in the bottom of a wardrobe collecting dust, not sure if it still works though :)

  15. To just disappear with $6M in cold, hard cash. Turn it into bearer bonds, wire it to a bank in the Caymans, fly to Brazil, withdraw it, transfer it by hand to another Brazilian bank and spend the rest of your days working on melanoma in sultanic ease in Rio.

     

     

    =)) You sound as if you've had previous experience in this sort of thing.....?

     

    and as LFC says, I'll have to dig the movie out and re-watch it at the weekend :thumbup:

  16. IMO, this movie has has the all-time best bankrobbery scene ever filmed. (The intro armored car robbery ain't bad either.)

     

     

    Am I the only one that wonder's if Amy Brennerman's character drove off with the $6M in cash in the trunk of the car and just disappeared?

     

    I agree, i don't think any other film has come close to matching that scene since, and no, you are not the only one to ponder that question :thumbup:

  17. Here's a question...can you mount an image on an emulated drive and scan that with DIP? Be interesting to find out.

     

    I'm in the process of loading an image on my HDD at the moment so I'll give it a go and see what happens... :thumbup:

  18. I have been Sony for consoles since Sega fucked up the Saturn years ago. I will still be looking at a PS3 over a 360....... :)

     

     

    I lived for Saga Rally on the Saturn :) one of the, if not the best arcade conversions....I can't belive It's been 10 years + since It's release, damn that makes me feel old.
