Happy Birthday! Hope you have a really good day! Seems like all the cool forum members are born in June

Haha Letty that is awesome!$ Happy Birthday rokhed you legend!

When you first encounter a chainsaw zombie thing, firstly, the ripping chainsaw sound was kind of horrifying, but the best/worst/most memorable moment about it was that I was like 'oh crap, gotta kill these zombies before they kill me'. Of course, I wasn't too worried as I had full health, so it'd be a while before that happened...or would it?! Brilliant(tho not at the time) moment where the chainsaw guy just lopped my head right off my shoulders! Totally unexpected it!

I saw this video on youtube, but I've missed most of the actual programme due to being out/at work/busy. It DOES easily shit on xfactor and all that jazz though.

Pretty bad thieves if it is, they left the license number in all their photos, I might see what my parents think about checking it out, could get my dad to keep it until I pass. I think the mileage thing is probably a typo missing a digit.

That's exactly what I was thinking along the lines of, a nice cheap car that's cheap to run, and cheap to maintain and replace. I think there's a pattern there! Hmm, having a look on autotrader actually, and an L reg 1.1 fiesta came up 19 miles away, £250, 5 door and apparently only 8000miles! Seems a bit too good to be true!

EDIT: Turns out vista was just being a pain that day, it works now, but I have no idea why.

Firstly, it's gotta exist somewhere surely, I'm after something that could scan my drive and identify redundant copies of files, ie more than one of the exact same copy. Maybe also two files with the same name, or files that are similar enough that one may be redundant. Secondly, a free video capture program, that can capture off a camera on my computer. That sounds vague, and it is because I'm not exactly sure how it's connected, as it's kind of actually built into the laptop, but let's pretend it's through USB for now. I guess this could actually be turned into a general thread for people looking for something to do something a bit obscure, but they just can't find it.

Woah, three grand?! I was looking more in the range of less than £1000, something around £500 or so if possible! Like an old letter reg or something!

Wow, didn't even notice! Happy Birthday flameboy, born in the month of kings!

I thought as much, on both counts. I was hoping to find private eye somewhere that wouldn't involve me buying it off tinternets. How good is it? Seems this topic has gone off internet respect to real world respect, though maybe the two are intertwined? I'll admit I think in the real world, the younger generations are on average alot ruder and disrespectful than older ones, but isn't that the case for the older and even older ones at the moment? I dunno, but sometimes I feel sad when I see how things are changing, apparently for the worse.

So, there's been talk of cars and insurance on the forum lately, so I thought I'd make this thread. It also made me think someone should make a cars thread, but not me, as I know jackall about cars, and that's the problem. Seriously, I have no idea, and people I've asked weren't too helpful so I gave up and am now turning to internets! Basically, I'm learning to drive at the moment, and hopefully should have a license in a few months. When I do get my license, I want to get a car asap, so I'm starting to kind of look now, but...I don't really know what to look for! So, what are some good, older/cheap, cars? Ideally I'd like a car with a small engine, so it's cheaper to run, if possible both a small engine and a 4/5 door car, because 3 door cars really annoy me! So yeah, anyone got any suggestions of old small engine cars? Also, what should I look for when buying a car? Obviously it's gonna be second hand, so there's probably things I should be wary of. What about insurance, what's the deal with all of that? Where should I start looking, is it gonna be cheaper if I put my parents on the same car/policy? If it is, does it mean I won't get a no claims bonus(someone was saying they didn't get one when they started driving as they were on their parent's insurance)?

Then why do you get a different friend code if you use the game in another DS? Or use a different game in the same DS? I'm sure I've read that the console and game are treated as one unit, so it has to be related to them somehow. I remember reading the wifi site ages ago and it said something along those lines, and every DS has a wifi connection ID which is what must factor into things.

I sort of agree too, fish does bang on about it quite alot. In fact, I wasn't quite sure how he even managed to work it into this topic as well! I also think at times that fish is as narrowminded as those he criticises, like demuwan described. Not related to it, but unimpressed with the unoriginal invisible bat analogy btw, probably just cos I heard it somewhere else first. hobbzinio, there's nothing wrong with a nice polite debate, nobody is saying that there is, but you constantly bring insults and bad language aimed at whoever is disagreeing with you. I didn't really care for the argument in the BB thread, and thought you and Kurtle were just as bad as each other, and actually a bit annoyed that you would think everyone else on the forum wants to sift through all that rubbish. Admittedly, you tried to take it private, but for some reason I'm unaware of but I think is likely to be stupid, Kurtle didn't want to. Anyway, this is not another thread for the argument to spill over into. I think it could be reduced a bit with some more enforcement from admins/mods, kudos to Platty for actually telling them to keep it out of that thread. I do agree with most that these forums are relatively nice compared to other forums, but does that mean it's all right for people to carry on being like it here? I'd like to think not. EDIT: I think the whole thing with ReZ and Hobb was a good example of what this thread is about. It's quite funny, I think ReZ thought Hobb was calling chairdriver a tool, not Kurt, and then the issue escalated, but it's all just as bad. P.S Fish, where do you get your private eye from?

What makes you so sure? It's gotta somehow be tied into either the game disc, or the console, or both, in order to make sure you don't end up with the same FC as someone else. I say it's based off the console, as I'm pretty sure that's what happens with DS stuff(the codes are made from a specific cart in a specific DS, isn't that why it says to play with that DS/Cart?). Something people have mentioned that I totally agree with, is a music/mp3 channel, rather than just the silly photo channel for playing music. Some additional video codecs wouldn't go a miss either, so we could play video files we have...

I thought reception is 4 going on 5? In theory, I'm year 15 now, 19 on 20 which makes reception...4/5. As for myself, like some people here, I think I always liked girls as opposed to the usual stereotype of them being icky and having cooties. I remember this one girl in like year 1 or year 2 who I liked who'd been in my class since...I dunno, beginning of school? Then in year 3 they mixed up the classes and she was in the other one and that was that. I've actually bumped into here a few times when I've been out in the last few years though!

Heh, I thought of that, classic choonage. *listens to summertime*

Other than confused, is there a good place that will compare various insurance quotes? I'm hopefully gonna be driving in a few months, and plan on getting my own car, only I don't know much about buying cars or insurance

It's about waving your ePenis around so everyone can see how huge it is. That and I think generally the world is an angrier place these days, maybe the internet really is slowly destroying our souls?

Surely it'd be easier to transfer that, because I think friend codes are made using the wii's number anyway, so if you got a new wii you'd have new friend codes and everything anyway. Console codes or Mii codes would be much better imo. It is for small things.

To be honest, the bottom of Shorty's guide DOES say that the channel has its own rules and faq, with a link to them. I see nowhere that actually states that the channel is a part of or an extension of these forums, besides it having a name that these forums used to share. In fact, I couldn't see anything in those 3 links you post that said that it did. I think it might be because, the channel actually ISN'T an extension of these forums. There's two options, bear the brunt of the channel ops, or make a new one explicitly for these forums, which I think should have been done anyway.

I don't watch it religiously or sometimes even bother making the effort due to it being friday night, but I gotta say, when I do see it, I really love it. I think I forget how good it is until I see it again, but it's pretty damn fantastic. Who was on it on friday?

Getting hot up in here too, noticed it over the last few nights at work, and it's so hot in my room right now! By hot, I mean warm, I know it's gonna get worse and I kind of look forward to it! I've had a nice cold beer out of the fridge, and it was fantastic, I feel like summer is truly arriving!

Not that this is the thread for it, but where did you learn to play bass? I'm thinking I wanna learn bass, and my mate might give me his old one, but I wouldn't know where to start at all

Hmm, most annoying then. I'm dragging stuff I used to drag in XP, stuff like highlighted text between windows(too lazy to actually cut and paste? why yes i am!) and like links from the address bar into msn, and media links into a media player, all stuff I could do fine with XP, which is why I was so confused that it wasn't working properly on here. Allright, I have a question for you guys, can you do it with stuff from IE? Like drag something out of IE into another program? I think it might be the stupid norton thing that came with the laptop stopping it, cos I did it earlier using alt tab and a pop up said about some rubbish to do with stuff from IE into other things. *waits to find out no one here uses IE*
