Padded Cell

Was it pulled out? Last friday, the winner was supposed to be announced, and this morning the contest page on Facebook is gone...  I would appreciate some explanations. Thanks. Bye.

Can't help feeling that there are some who can't see life outside of Naim.  The member Justin 9960 ends a post of his with this sentence. From here I start mine.Actually, I sometimes have a feeling (or at least it's the impression I get from it)...

Just heard of the passing of the Prof. Someone who made a huge difference to F1, and other formula, without competing. John 

Andy Murray has won a very long U.S Open final; a real battle ( 3 sets of 5 from Djokovic) and his first grand slam. Good for him.

We bought our house in 2009. It came with new wiring from the city's wiring to a brand new electrical panel box, 200 amps. From the main box they ran new wiring to a subpanel, also brand new, and rated at 100 amps. All done by a licensed electrician,...

Any thoughts re his forthcomming deployment to Afghanistan and the widespread announcement. Not so much as to whether the UN should be in Afghanistan, more whether Harry should be deployed and whether it is wise for that deployment to be ...

anybody can explain to me?

Chaps - I recently saw a chat show here in Norway called Skavlan, where the guests were as follows and in order of appearance; 1.BjÖrn Ulvaeus - from Abba (self confessed Atheist). 2. Ulrika Johnson - C list celeb originally from Sweden now residing in London (self confessed Atheist). 3. Brandon Flowers - lead singer from The Killers (Mormon). 4. Richard Dawkins - evolutionary biologist and author etc. (self confessed Atheist). Obviously, The Killers were to perform their new song at the end...

Another massive achievement and can't wait for the final on Monday.

Absolutely loved Asylum of the Daleks. Matt Smith is fast becoming my favourite Doctor and although I was sad to hear Karen Gillan was leaving I'm no longer concerned about the next companion. No more as I don't want to spoil it for those who...

Is being a Naimee mean that the Brooks is the only true saddle ;-) This is for my new Kona, Jake the Snake cyclo-cross bike.  Its intended use is as a tough road bike. The roads in Northern Ontario are bumpy and pot-holed with large...

I see that Lance Armstrong is not challenging the latest doping charges against him.And his 7 tour wins have been stripped.I would have thought with his considerable personal fortune he would have.I know he has never tested positive in the past.But...

Morbid?Nah... we all have our favourite tracks of all time but will they be good enough to see us through the big gates that will lead us  to audio nirvana(atheists have a special pass) karma? I have always loved this  track...

With all the wet weather we've been plagued, like everyone else, with massive slugs wreaking havoc munching the plants in the garden. My wife has been putting slug pellets out and said that they were disappearing at a fast rate in one part of the...

Oh; no it is not. Why are such people given the time of day?

Well, having finally made it down to the Science Museum and popped in to Naim's display in the Make It In Great Britain section - that's it is it?One Ovator speaker, an NDS in a glass cabinet with the top removed and a looped film about Naim. Even my...

Paul, Is  there any chance of a forum members get together/factory tour and BBQ this coming September? IMO Its the right time for one.People can get to hear and see the new bits of kit.See the new REGs in working conditions and hear the end...

For the past few weeks now it’s been time I restocked my empty cellar with nice drinkable red wine, but being a skin-flint I’ve put the usual 3 dozen bottle order to the local wine merchant off while buying just a bottle of wine from Tesco’s each week instead, ...and trying something different every time but I’ve come to realise the Tesco’s stuff is almost never enjoyable. [Own silly fault I never learn]. Last week I purchased a bottle of Argentinean Red [Shiraz] which was particularly nasty...

I recently upgraded to the new Mountian Lion OSX mainly to take advantage of the iCloud capabilities. Since downloading I've found my wireless connection intermittently breaks down. It's easily rectified by just opening Network in System Preferences...

Gents I'm taking a guess that some of you are also camera gurus so can you recommend the best NIKON DSLR at around the £ 500 mark i.e. lower range. I am not interested in other brands, thanks.

I've recently taken delivery of my first ever automatic transmission vehicle. I've taken to driving it F1 style by braking with my left foot. I find this way smoother than using the right foot between both pedals as the right foot...

Munch, See you at jamie's hood. Marc      

Has anybody gone on one of the Walcott Quarry hikes run by Parks Canada or the Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation ? Was  it any good? Cheers Don
