  1. True enough. Only today my boss told me about a bloke who bought 4000 mobile phone batteries from HK for 68p each and flogging them on eBay for £4.
  2. Aren't you supposed to wash it out with white blood cells or plasma?
  3. He was warming up, I think at the Orient game, and the Itchen called for him to "give us a wave" and he applauded instead. I wonder if refs realise they're wasting their time when they give him a talking to.
  4. About 20 years too late.
  5. I was giving my girlfriend a hug a couple of years ago when I told her that an old friend I had a thing for was coming back to the country. I could feel her tense up as all she could say was "Oh?"
  6. This is not a phrase I'd ever have expected Daren to utter.
  7. :confused: I thought you paid that for a litre not a gallon :confused: That's what happens when to try and run imperial and metric systems concurrently.
  8. Getty
  9. The officials seemed pretty anonymous which, to me, is the sign of them having a good game. Well done Mr. errrrr... whatever your name is.
  10. I've changed the picture already as I've added the arch.
  11. Only just started working my way through them, but I took about thirty photos all around the ground and stitched them together but I missed a few sections of the roof. Link to bigger version.
  12. Have a checked of the input requirements on the laptop which are the voltage(V) and current(A)? Multiply the two together and that gives you the power consumption (watts) of the laptop itself. Bear in mind that this will be a maximum figure for running the computer and charging the battery at the same time. If you're significantly over 65w, then it may be a good idea to run the computer without the battery and only charge it when the PC's off.

    Cats

    Cats hate the smell of citrus fruit. When I peel an orange and offer it to them, they pull a face and back up.
  14. Swindon came down here with a game plan of defending in numbers in the first half and rode their luck a little and it held out for them. I don't know if they had a scout at the Leeds game but they nullified the left boot of Puncheon by simply doubling up on him to to remove his option of cutting back inside. Lambert looked a good yard or two off the pace of the game. In the second half, they stopped sitting back and instead harassed us, chasing down the ball at every opportunity and when they did win the ball, they were able to use it far more effectively than us. Just before their goal, they strung together a sequence of twenty passes covering the entire pitch and it's at that point that I thought "Oh b*ll*cks! They're in the play-off positions for a reason and we're about to find out why."
  15. Same here. I wasn't actually nervous until the crowd started whistling for full-time to be called. It just shows how solid we were at the back.
  16. It may not be a dig, but it is p*ss poor mathematics.
  17. Just a friendly word of warning. Companies like Getty can be right b*st*rds when it comes to copyright and even a pencil drawn reproduction (or hotlinking the image as has already occurred in this thread) could be considered in breach. It might be worth approaching the Echo to see if they have anything in their archive they're prepared to release to help a local hero.
  18. Well spotted.
  19. Blu-ray version now less than £18 delivered. http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/band-of-brothers/9991543.html?affil=BUYAT
  20. Excellent subtitle, " Applying toothpaste to your brush will never be the same."
  21. I don't feel so good after watching this.... Probably best if you don't watch this right after eating or generally a wuss. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=91f_1202416205
  22. Bloody hell! It got Norman Stanley Fletcher.
  23. It has to be said, squeezing a spot like that would complete my life.
  24. C*ck. Nosher. I'll only have the one suitable lens anyway since I bought a second one for the sole purpose of using it at last year's event and sold it a fortnight later. Having a billionaire owner now, I hope the club won't be so tight with the 'leccy and put the floodlights on.
