No idea what's going on, or if it's some kind of reference to an in joke such a newbie as myself would not understand, but made me laugh anyway. Listed as a perfect working order Supernait2 from 2013 @ £2,2k, one image is presented, the Sh!t Dalek.

...for one last time. The Greatest TV Drama Ever (TM) , Mad Men , is nearing its end, and if tonight's episode was anything to go by, it's going to go out with a bang. That was fabulous television, both hallucinatory and desperately sad. Clever writing and plotting, some great acting, particular from Hamm, Moss and Hendricks. The scenes with Don at the shiva and in the diner; and with Joan and Peggy with the appalling McCann frat boys and in the lift were fantastic, and fantastically moving.

TV holds little interest for me outside of live sports and the occasional movie. My last dedicated show watching was 'Breaking Bad'. Not sure where 'Fargo' has gone? I hope this "prequel series" grabs me the way the original did. Great...

Love this programme. Usually very funny and finely made. Tonight's was a departure in part. Emotional.

Dear All, today my Italian dealer is informing me on the latest official price for 272, in UK is quoted 3300£, here we have to pay 5850€. Considering today 1£=1.365€ the extra is 1345€! VAT in Italy is 22%, in UK 20%. I'm questioning if I can buy it in UK, what are yours comments? How many year of warranty in UK? Any comment is welcome.

Dear Forum. As age is creeping on and times are getting harder, I am contemplating replacing my 500 system with a clock radio. I am not expecting any great difference in performance, but would like to hear from other people having done this sensible...

At the end of last year, I started a topic about my old bike that I have had for about 12 years and used as a general run around.  The frame has been badly painted with black paint and is in poor shape, with scratches and exposed grey primer...

Martin Freeman is the first to tell me how to vote. The Hobbit and Wallace are joining forces. Another reason not to vote Labour!

This is my new DIY 8mm toughened glass platform, as suggested by several forum members. However, I can't help feeling that the M10 Dome nuts look a bit big. So as Arabella Weir would say, "Do my nuts look big on here"?

Let's hope it's finally over for the racist prat. Will Cameron's dodgy mate survive? What was the 'fracas'?

Been listening to the live commentary of the New Zealand v South Africa semi (in between listening to music) and what a wonderful game of cricket it was.   Grant Elliot hits second last ball of the game from Steyn for 6 to win the game.  ...

If Richard Dane is No. 5, who is No. 1?   P.S. I ask because I'm related to Clough Williams-Ellis, who built Portmeirion; the setting for "The Prisoner".
