Not if you have taken it apart and looked at it yourself,i do repair these but i have to say the sucess rate is not great on PS3 they usually fail again at some point if the factory repair has not been carried out.

That about sums it up.

The only one of these type of films i enjoyed was I.D. well acted and gave a slightly different take on things from the police perspective.

Although i wouldn't want to see Renault get kicked out of F1 they do seem to of got off lightly in this case.Now i know some will disagree but Mclaren get hit with a massive fine for stealing a few secrets which i'm sure most teams do to some degree,but Renault get caught after cheating in such a way that it could of caused death or injury to an inocent bystander and they get what amounts to a slap on the wrist and told not to be naughty again. This has to be one of the many reasons why F1 really can't be taken serious anymore it's punishment has no parity from one case to another.

The new face lifted Focus is out in November and the RS version looks a lot better than the current one.

New York is 5 hours behind us.

As far as books go i would suggest reading Report from Ground Zero it is written by Dennis Smith a lifelong fire fighter with the FDNY and gives a very interesting and personal take on things from the attack on 9/11 and the rescue work after it.

Getting back to how this thread started. I remember seeing the attacks on TV whilst at work and spending most of the rest of the day watching the live news broadcasts,strange thing that i remember is that after the first tower collapsed the phone virtually did not ring for the rest of the day.It just seemed like everyone was watching what was unfolding in front of them. I got a chance a couple of years ago to go to New York and i stayed a couple of blocks away from the Trade Center site,it was then that after you have seen the site all dug out it gives a very real and moving feel for what happened there. Also visited the memorial museum next to the fire house which was across the road from the WTC site.After visiting there you can start to understand how so few bodies were recovered when you see a hand gun that was recovered fused together with concrete from the building because the heat was so intense.But the main image i remember from there was a firemans bunker coat which was completely intact on the front yet sliced clean up the back where the force of the collapse had ripped it off him. One thing is certain the world we lived in before that day is very different from the world we live in now.

Now i'm looking to buy something online from the States and was wondering if anyone on here has experience of what sort of import tax you might have to pay. I know that if the product is over £18 you have to pay VAT but what limit is it before you have to pay import tax,also i have seen that the post office can charge a handling fee on top of any postage paid. Just trying to workout if it's worth while bothering.

I remember reading an article on Carl Lewis about how he failed the drugs test leading upto the Olympics but got it over turned,which over the years made all his preaching about drugs cheats getting banned for life etc a bit two faced. Also another article i found interesting was how Ben Johnson openly admitted to taking steroids building upto the Olympics to aid is training,but still claims that his coach and him had timed it perfect that he was completely clean at the event and his sample was tampered with.Although when you watch the footage of the race i suspect he was still on something,just look at his eyes.

I wonder if he recorded his own crash on his helmet cam,if he had tried to lecture me he would of got told to **** off and get a life. But have noticed more people with Bikes and Cars making them look more like emergency vehicles nowdays.

I used Zenith for the double glazing on my house,it's a good product but you do have to beat them right down on price or they will rip you off.Also expect to get sale calls forever and a day off them.

Make sure you do the usual and check Cash converters as they always seem to have loads of bikes for sale.

The thing is was administration in the latter end of last season ever avoidable?By the looks of it no,so it seems in the end regardless of who was in charge admin was always on the cards for this failing business. We can only hope things get better because it would appear there has never been a knight in shining armour waiting to take us over.

Always liked Assen as a track but just feel it's not as good since all the changes were made to it.But still wet or dry it's normally a good race,think this one will be between Rossi and Lorenzo.
-
With the Pinnacle bid looking to be a bit of a farce now the Swiss group has to be the right one,if they are claiming the funds are no problem.Surely it has to be better in the long run to have one company own the club instead of lots of little money men just chipping a bit in for it. I really get the feeling MLT has been duped to some degree and if thats the case he needs to walk away from this group now,because i think he is the only reason alot of people on here gave there bid more creedence than maybe it deserved.

When Pietersen got out last night why is it that England players continue to play the sweep shot so badly.Time and time again we get out playing that shot it's one thing that any England batsman should be banned from using.
