    iPad.

    Oh it's better than impressive, had mine for a couple of weeks now and it's spectacularly good. Where to get one depends on how you want to feed it data, I looked at 3 and Orange, the basic 16Gb iPad from them is £199 upfront and 25 quid a month (on a 2 year contract) which gets you 5Gb/month...

    Steve goes to the Dragons.

    Meh, funny. Uncle Steve has probably lost more cash down the back of the sofa than they'll ever see.

    Smashed up my MBP.

    Royston, spoke to our guys today and they use a site called ifixit.com for random mac bits, it's based in the states but it's the most reliable place they've found. Hope it helps bud. x

    Smashed up my MBP.

    And theres me thinking the follow up was going to be .....and bought an Alienware ;) Yes I know I'm a front bottom Roy, anyhoo, had a quick nose around and the only place I could find a unibody they were talking £500 and listed as out of stock. I'll talk to the systems monkeys at work...

    I've crossed to the dark side

    Well it turned up today, initial impression is that it's absolutely awesome, set up a game centre & itunes store id, angry birds is currently on the download :) It's like Macdonalds in here - I'm f**king loving it ;)

    I've crossed to the dark side

    If it was £99 all the plebs would have one and then it wouldn't be cool.

    I've crossed to the dark side

    I've already told the wife I want a £25 app voucher for chrimbo ;) I've already played angry birds on a mates iPhone, I'm guessing it's awesome +1 on an iPad. Oh and if I join your gang do I get one of those black polo neck sweaters with an Apple logo on it? Not in this lifetime sweetness...

    I've crossed to the dark side

    The skies will fall and hell has officially frozen over - I've just ordered an iPad, yes I know the new one comes out in February (ish) next year but i'll palm this one off onto the wife and buy a new one ;) And no this doesn't mean i'll be buying a macbook either! I can feel my man part...

    iPad technical question

    Oh hai, quick iPad question folks, being a cheap b*****d I see that I can now get a 64gb iPad for £349 and £25 a month which includes 15gb a month of data transfer. Thing is I r wondering if you can tether another wifi device to an iPad to share it's interweb data like you can with an iPhone...

    Gaming PC help

    So he wants an Alienware but then considers a second hand crate with a misaligned case (whatever the hell that means), sounds to me like he doesn't know what he wants. Actually after looking at the pics again it looks like it's been dropped at some point £586.33 down the bog if you ask me...

    how many washes does your car get in winter?

    ^^ this, and I wont be doing it, I'll let the guy who comes to work and washes the outside and vacs all the fagash from the inside for a tenner do it.
  16. UncleGrumpy

    how many washes does your car get in winter?

    When I first got it - every couple of weeks. Now - 2 or 3 times a year. And by a year I mean 12 months not 2 or 3 times over winter.

    Orange Broadband

    Had Wanadoo that became Orange for ages, not had any unusual problems with them, at the moment they're upgrading stuff so it's a bit flaky but on-going it's been fine. The Plusnet Broadband on our second line is rock solid though - and quicker, and if you need to speak to someone A: You can...

    Off to look at a 182

    Not according to Rentech it isn't Service wise............. 36000 Mile service on 172 / 182 / Trophy with air conditioning 36k with accessory belt only £275 all inclusive 36k with full accessory belt kit £375 all inclusive The following is done on 36k service... oil, air, pollen, Elf...

    Off to look at a 182

    Both belts? the auxiliary belt is part of the 3 year/36k service, if he's not done it then that to me is a bad sign, screams out that it's not really been looked after properly. It's also worth pointing out that those stickers show a remarkable lack of taste - almost sacrilege to daub a Trophy...

    creaking steering 2003 Clio

    I had something similar, I had a cabbaged ball joint at the time, when that was replaced at MOT time the creak went away, as did the clonk noise it made every time I went over a pothole.

    Smoking in car??

    Yes I do, it's a cheap poorly built hot hatch that might drop to bits/explode at any second. The back seats are covered in fag ash, theres sesame seeds from maccies burgers on the floor and theres a man spaff stain on the drivers seat. it's safe to say I don't really care.

    Just how good are the 182s?

    There are 2 Clios worth having, the Trophy and the V6, everything else is shite.

    Trophy 201 Clean and Quick Ride out - ( Pictures content ) -(56k no no )

    Looking at that reminds me how disgustingly filthy mine is, if it's dry at the weekend I might just clean it and give a really good polish before the shite weather sets in. Looking good there matey.

    Canon 7D or 60D

    I'd be interested to see the difference between a 70-200 F4L and a 100-400, I bought a 100-400 5 years ago and it's still like brand new, people have said if you get a good one don't let it go but a bad one can be a nightmare with lockups, never seen a lockup ever so I must have got lucky.

    Test drive, yes or no? Potential buyer

    f**k that mate, letting a 19 year old uninsured driver loose in your 182? I wouldn't even consider it.

    Any ADSL users tried an iPlate?

    It's an old build but a recent new line, sounds like it's worth a shot from peoples experiences, thanks all, appreciate the input :)
