As well as being bad losers (see Thank you for the Olympics thread) Their road system is crap too! Just had 3 days trying to workaround theirs and Belgiums signage system.We seem to manage by calling our roads ONE number/letter, not the French a...
Just awesome.....well done Mo Farah!
I live in a flatshare in London. Two of my flatmates are from elsewhere in the EU. They only watch American television programmes, e.g. sitcoms. One of them usually uses greetings such as 'hey buddy'. Now surely it would seem odd if Spanish...
Sid Waddell, "the Voice of Darts", has gone to that great Lakeside Centre, Frimley Green in the sky aged just 72: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19231497 An erudite chap and a great commentator, he was responsible (in 1984, IIRC) for the...
Because it feels good to skewer the twin evils of corporate thuggery and repulsive nationalism (borderline racism and bigotry) that pretty much is the olympics, I offer this thread... To kick off (get it?), here is a photo of the crowd at one of...
Winkyincanada managed to put a few peoples noses out of joint with his Olympics thread,so i thought i would try and do the same !!! MY VIEW is overall they are an expensive waste of space and if i had my way i would get rid of PDQ. Even my other half does not agree with my views,but do i care !! This is my breakdown(an these are MY views) Queenie......about the only one in my opinion that has done a good job for 60 years.Move her into a small apartment and open up the whole of Buck Pal to...
Everytime I visit/sign in, I'm automatically transferred to a Vimeo page with a view of the ISS at night. Anyone else had an alien visit?
Just wondering what everyone thinks of the Olympics coverage. I think the BBC is doing a fantastic job - showing every single event! Amazing! And Auntie also seems to have really embraced digital, with all those streams, allowing punters to watch what...
After an unbelievable journey and landing, Curiosity is safely on the surface of Mars. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ One of the first images.... And if you haven't seen the NASA video describing the descent, watch it here... (ad at the...
I've been a Naim owner for nearly 25 years. Until very recently I would never have imagined being without my Naim based system, having started with a 62/90 many years ago and moved slowly up the Naim ladder. However, two heart attacks can change...
I think I have a decent lower-mid range set-up (CD5XS/DAC/200/202/NAPSC/PL into HC (DR's to come) and started thinking about 282 due to a recent thread. But then, last week I went in to my local bike shop by chance and picked up a stunning...
Sorry if this has been posted already but I found it beautiful and quite amazing.
I have been a member for just over a year. There's been some fantastic advice from moderators(you know who you are!) and members alike. I have made, I hope, some new friends and met some fantastic characters along the way....
All was going well, waiting outside with the groom etc. then I thought it'd be a good idea to get my fill-in flash set up correctly before the bride's arrival. First shot, great, nicely balanced with the orange filter over the flash doing its job...
Ok, a bit of an exaggeration, but... Am up in the north woods of Wisconsin, far from town, and very close to the south shore of Lake Superior. It is truly one of the most remote and beautiful places I know...woods, water, fresh air...and...
I have just bought a two grand racing bike and wonder if anyone can recommend a good speciality cycle insurer ? Thanks.
Could just be something very odd my end but the avatars have all gone screwy. I am currently winston churchill, and lots of flashing crap going on.Anyone else seeing this?
Would love to hear from as many people as pos on this one,including supporters of Non League sides. Lets have any interesting stories from over the years,the ups and downs,the good bad and the ugly.I will start the ball rolling and get ready for...
+ 1 Pearcey should have picked him, would have scored them penalties...
If so i feel for you. Just had a look on their website. When you click on 1st Team profiles its almost like looking at a blank...
Polite request. Perhaps a little more notice would be useful to customers.

Great move of Snoops to become Rastafari. Means he has a legit excuse to smoke weed.
How to get that little bit Closer (geddit?) Unknown Pleasures, indeed. I wonder what the boys think? I wonder what Ian and Rob would think? I rather suspect that Tony, bless his brilliant, beautiful heart, would have rather liked it.
Yesterday, I had a yellow watermelon.A very uncanny experience.Eyes closed: couldn't tell it apart from a red watermelon.Eyes opened: It didn't feel like I was eating a watermelon. What does that tell me about level matched blind hearing tests?...
