  1. Happy Birthday Cube, have a good one.
  2. Future Endeavours??? Sucks, he's a good talent and needs to be used right.
  3. Here's hoping that it gets up-to single figures in the charts, would be a great listen to on Radio 1
  4. Loved the sing-a-long at the end of RAW and on the way out of the arena, good times indeed for the fans. Hopefully the Fandango theme catches on and becomes the new "Yes", "What" and/or "You Suck". I did notice at Mania that the "Yes" chant returned in full force.
  5. Just watched some highlights from RAW, apart from the crowd reaction which is typical of a post-Mania RAW. It was a normal RAW, few moments which should have been on the Mania card. Seriously, US residents this is how a crowd should be.
  6. The crowd is typically like this after a Mania event, look at last year when Lesnar recieved that huge pop on his return. And how great the crowd were with chant, reactions etc. Don't expect the same next week.
  7. Rumors flying around at the moment concerning Dwayne "Rock" Johnson. Apparently, he's left RAW and won't be on the show tonight. Which has sent Creative into a spin. Could be a variety of reasons as to why he's not on RAW tonight, so keep them eyes peeled.
  8. For all the good she did, there was a lot of bad that happened as well. These things happen in governments, and no leader will ever keep the entire nation happy at all. Still, she was a good leader of the country and the first lady to become PM, which is an achievement in it's own right. R.I.P.
  9. Yeah, i'll do it.
  10. Well, just finished watching Mania. My predictions are below to remind what i chose.
  11. I live in a little village called Caldicot. Most notible things about the place is the Castle and that it's twinned with 2 other towns in Europe. No famous people as such live here, but i am approximately 2-3 miles away from 2 fellow N-Europers in @BeerMonkey and @Ganepark. And did live 15 miles or so from Flinky before he moved. Caldicot is about 15 miles from Newport and 4 miles from Chepstow. Both of which are more notable than where i be. Newport's notable people Chepstow is notable for the author J.K Rowling, she lived in Tutshill about 1/2 mile from Chepstow) and has a better castle/more history.
  12. That's what i found online, others were saying it's easier to get a USB headset (which doesn't disable the speakers) and allows the sounds to be split that way.
  13. I don't often post in here, but here goes. I've got a Windows 8 pro machine. A friend of mine gave me his old headset for using whilst playing online. I use Ventrillo for the chat-client (don't have a choice really, it's not my license for it). When i plug in the headset (it's got the pink and green connectors) to the front of the computer, it plays all sounds (game and/or music) from the computer. I've managed to get the sounds to go back to the speakers, but all the sounds also play through the headset as well. To sum it up, is there anyway i can disable everything (except voice) from going to the headset.
  14. I did the test based on the household, and got "Technical Middle Class"
  15. Wouldn't the "no longer selling videogames" part be good for another high-street store *cough, GAME*. Obviously, having only 1 place on the street to go for games isn't the best option, but who knows.
  16. Last bump, i promise. It now seems HMV is saved, along with stores which were next in the firing line for closure News Report Good news for the high-street, for a while longer. And there is talk of re-opening a store in Dublin.
  17. They appear once in a blue moon, maybe.
  18. Nice, i'll start looking for places and get the transport sorted. Leave is sorted now.
  19. Indeed so, i got 6 days off so i'm not in a rush this year. The main part of the Meet is always on the Saturday of the weekend. I'm certainly going to find a place to watch the race on the Sunday, you're more than welcome to join me. Edit: Just to confirm, it is the 27th July for the meet?. Going to put my leave request in today/tomorrow, slots are filling up quick.
  20. Possesstion and Shock Jockey are the two Vigors i keep in stock, both provide excellent combative alternatives to a shotgun/rifle combo.
  21. I'll be finding a pub to watch a replay of the race, then having myself a lovely 6 days off. Sweet, i'll start planning the weekend.
  22. Oh crap, his alter-ego is coming (by that, i mean Dr Wuman)
  23. Jimbob’s Wrestlemana Predictions (or as i call it, a 4 hour RAW) Firstly, the card for this years “Show of the Immortals” is crap. It’s weak, and is only being propped up by 1 or two matches which I believe are the highlight of Mania and the other matches have been added just for beefing the card. I’m confused as to why Cesaro is not on the card at all, the US title has lost all meaning and may as well be retired as far as I care. And Sky want £3 more for this event Anyway, the card and predictions. Wade Barrett Vs The Miz - Intercontinental Championship Pre-show Match Firstly, why is this even a pre-show match? Whose wise idea was this to make the IC Title a pre-show match? It’s got prestige and honour; many greats have worn the strap including Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Ultimate Warrior, Razor Ramon and HBK. Anyway, enough of my complaining (as there is plenty of it). Looking at both competitors, Barrett is hot and so is Miz. Both have had recent movie appearances, so this could go either way. Miz hasn’t held a title in a while so it would make sense for him to win, but I can’t see it Winner: Wade Barrett Tons of Funk vs Rhodes Scholars Pointless match, pitting 2 good, talented superstars against Brodus Clay and Tensai (please drop this gimmick and go back to Albert). Rhodes Scholars, thought they split for good. But I see it’s not the case. It’s a pointless match, should have been the IC title match. And WWE needs to call it’s momma. Winner: Rhodes Scholars Chris Jericho Vs Fandango Fandango, why debut at Mania? He’s had NO TV TIME at all, this is just a filler and something for Jericho to do (hence why he was a bit miffed when he was told to begin with). Fandango was going to debut several times, but no-one got his name right. Jericho takes the mick, he attacks and gets him in a match. Looking at the build, it’s not been good. It’s a waste of a match, again could have been something else. Winner: Chris Jericho Team Hell No Vs Ziggler & Big E - WWE Tag Team Championship Rhodes Scholers or Prime-Time players should have been the challengers for the Tag Titles, I see no reason for Ziggler and Big-E to even challenge. And like Fandango, Big-E has had NO TV match on RAW as far as I see, so I can’t judge that. Ziggler is the MITB holder and hasn’t cashed in?. Why????. Ziggler should have cashed and joined the WHC match, made it more interesting. And this should have been a Triple Threat (but it’s not). Hell No, even though dysfunctional have more hope of winning. AJ will get involved, and probably ejected/cost a team the match. Winners: Team Hell No Ryback Vs Mark Henry Feed Me More: It’s had little build, it’s another filler for the card. I feel sorry for Ryback, he was challenging the WWE title back a few months ago. Henry is injury-prone. I want to know how Ryback plans to Shellshock Henry, and because of this and this alone I pick Winner: Mark Henry Sheamus, Orton, Big Show vs The Shield What I want is Orton to turn heel and revealed as the leader of the Shield. What we’ll get is not this. Shield are a group of future champions, and are very talented. I’ve been impressed with them over the past few months and I see bright futures for them all. A good build up (for a change) to the match, and one I look forward to watching. Winners: The Shield Alberto Del Rio Vs Jack Swagger – World Heavyweight Championship Again, another good build to the match. Swagger got lucky with his DUI, a suspension should have been in place and this match not happening. But it’s another type of “Eddie vs JBL” matches from Judgement Day 2004. Swagger going on about his “America” and Del Rio being the Mexican from across the border as champ. It’s had some good build, and Colter has certainly added depth to the rivalry. It’s going to be close that’s for sure. And I hope it’s not the opener, because I want something to happen if it isn’t. Winner: Del Rio (**Ziggler cashes in and beats Del Rio afterwards**) **If it happens, thank you. Del Rio is beaten bad, Ziggler finally cashes in with no-one stopping him. Triple H w/t HBK vs Brock Lesnar – Career match Build is good, but it’s obvious who’s going to win. It’s a typical “revenge match”, Lesnar broke both HBK and Triple H’s arms. Both want revenge, hence why HBK is in the corner of Triple H. It’s had a good build; don’t get me wrong at all. But it’s close to clear who’s going to win, and we won’t get a 3rd chance at this. Winner: Triple H The Undertaker vs CM Punk – Streak Match THE match that I want to see, it’s had fantastic build. And it’s had a good story based around the late Paul Bearer. Ok, it was pushing a little far yesterday. And that was coming from the family, who approved the story. It’s going to be close, I could have given a clear winner a few weeks ago. But I can’t really, not now. Too close to call, and it will be a fantastic match to watch that is for sure. But Taker has said he only wants one person to end it. Winner: CM Punk The Rock Vs John Cena – WWE Championship Match I’m not going to complain, much. This match has the words “Obvious Winner” printed on it. It was clear who was going to win at the Rumble when Rock beat Punk for the title and “Super Cena” won the Rumble itself. Even when Punk vs Cena happened a few weeks ago on RAW, it was close but Cena won after taking all that attacking and he hit one “AA” out of nowhere and won. Last year was the match that will be most remembered, it was unpredictable, it was epic and it had magic to it. This year, it’s lacking. WWE themselves are prepping for the whole arena to boo Cena in and out of the arena, because we as the fans are sick of him being spoonfed everything. Kurt Angle said it himself a few years back, Cena has entertaining talent not Wrestling skills. I really want Rock to win as he’s sticking around to Extreme Rules, and it would shock the arena for a change. We all predict Cena to win, and Rock wins instead. No-one would see it coming that is for sure, and it would be a Mania moment for sure. But I don’t see that happening myself, which is a shame. Winner: John Cena (and gets booed out of the arena/chairs/litter thrown at him/in the ring as the old days occurred)
  24. Had a shot at pickling some Jalopeno's, didn't turn out too bad. Maybe more vinegar next time.
