  1. The Android Thread

    I wants the Nexus 10 32GB. I've been waiting for this. Do you think it's worth waiting longer though as I'm sure they will announce a 3G version like they have for the Nexus 7? RIGHT?!?! Also the only thing turning me off is no expandable memory. SD card slot anyone? I guess they are thinking you don't need that with all the cloud services out there but I likes expandable memory or even a standard USB slot so I can shove shit into. /pipedream *awaits 13 November* £389 is a sexy price.

  3. Football Season 2012/2013

    What a joke that was. Best bit was the ref coming out 3 times to test the pitch by rolling the ball around. WHY?! the rain has not stopped it's only getting worse you pleb. Only plus point is that Adrian Chiles (or however you spell his name) didn't annoy me half as much as he usually does. The banter was alright. Watching Norn Iron now. 1-0 against Portugal at the mo. Could they?
  4. What Have You Bought?

  5. Football Season 2012/2013

    What a great match, the 2nd half and that last 10 minutes was brilliant. I couldn't believe it when Citeh went 2-1 up, what a comeback by Real. I still love Ronaldo. His goal wasn't the best but he deserved it. 150 goals in 150 games. Incredible.
  6. Wii U Price Check

    Hmmm not happy with those prices at the moment. I may leave buying for a few months. I'm not overly excited (maybe my age ) and I have a busy December so won't really be able to play it. I might pick it up in Jan/Feb time. Was thinking of not buying at all to be honest. It would be the first Nintendo console I haven't bought if I don't get it. What's happening to me?! O_O
  7. Can anyone recommend me a decent webcam?

    Something a bit different.... I have this cos it's just looks awesome clipped to my screen. http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/5345816/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Tie-Fighter-Webcam/Product.html?searchstring=tie+fighter+web+cam&searchsource=0&searchtype=allproducts&urlrefer=search Apart from looking pretty it is actually a good webcam for the price. As you can imagine it's not going to give you crisp HD quality images but it's good enough for me. Never had any issues with it and I use Skype a lot.
  8. Car insurance

    Yeah I've been with Admiral for the past 2 years. Always seem to be one of the cheapest. I'm lazy too and can't be arsed to keep changing anyway for the sake of saving 30 quid or something so I have just stuck with them.... Mine was just under under 400 quid this year for my 1.6 Astra but then I'm 28 and have quite a few years no claims.
  9. Football Season 2012/2013

    Yeah Kenny spent it all.....
  10. UK rail fares up 6+% - Ridiculous or fair?

    SouthEastern trains are amazingly crap and I can't believe how they get away with putting up the prices as much as they do every year. I live in London Zone 4 which means it currently costs me £160 a month in travel for a 5 minute bus ride and 30 minute train journey twice a day. It's not as bad as some who live further out for sure but to me that is still a big chunk out of my wage to get me to work across London. I have no other options on the table. Cycling would take far too long from South East London to Central and quite frankly I don't feel it's safe. Using the car is a no no. Again it would take far too long due to traffic and cost shed loads in congestion charge fees and parking fees. I wouldn't mind the train fare going up if it actually IMPROVED the service of SouthEastern. But they haven't changed since it was connex. Fed up with the overcrowding and last minute cancellations and constant engineering works. I'm surprised they kept it together for the Olympics getting everyone to Greenwich and Woolwich. Bunch of cowboys. /rant
  11. Football Season 2012/2013

    Not sure how I feel about RVP transfer. A lot of money for a guy who I always thought was a bit of a sicknote before last season when he smashed it and had a blinder. Plus he is ex Arsenal. No doubting his quality but it's gonna take me a while to get on board with an ex gooner. Fergie likes having 4 good forwards to rotate. It's always the way but just not sure how RVP will fit in with our current squad. Good problem to have though, I trust in Fergie so only time will tell. I take it this means Berba and Macheda are probably off and that new 18 year old henrique will be sent out on loan, probably back to the club he has just come from. Also where is our defensive midfielder eh?!
  12. I saw it at the weekend. It was very meh for me. I of course enjoyed it but I didn't walk away feeling blown away like I did with the Dark Knight. Maybe that was all due to the Joker. I dunno, felt like the storyline took too long to get going and just wasn't overly great. Nice ending though I thought. Bale's Batman voice still annoys me.

    Bring back Sharp Viewcam.
  14. What Have You Bought?

    Tickets for: 7 a side football and then Athletics. Get to see lots of finals. I've also purchased various Team GB related merchandise.... T shirts, Hoody, Football top and the weird cyclops mascot thing. Proper involved with it all now. Can't stop watching it. O___O
  15. The Walking Dead

    Awesome. Can't wait. But also wish I kinda didn't watch the trailer....
  16. Funny Stuff Thread

    I take it you have seen this?
  17. Prometheus (Ridley Scott)

    Went to see this on Saturday and was very excited but came away a bit meh. I enjoyed it for what it was but I just felt it was missing something but I don't know what. Maybe a bit more suspense and OMG WTF ARGGGHHH moments would have done it. Was still a good watch overall though.
  18. Site Redesign & Forum Issues

    Good work guys. Nice new fresh design, really like it.
  19. Football Season 2011/2012

    There is just no point taking him really. Who is he going to play ahead of? I can't forsee him starting or any situations where we would need him to come off the bench to change the game. He probably won't even make the bench, well he shouldn't make the bench. Might aswell have took another striker. Free holiday for the lad and some good experience being with the team at tournament I guess.
  20. Do You Believe?

    I guess I do. The Universe is too big for there not to be other life out there. Whether it is intelligent life form as we know it is another question. I hope there is, otherwise what is the point of it all?
  21. Football Season 2011/2012

    United's Keane's and Thorpe are in the squad too. Good prospects.
  22. Football Season 2011/2012

    Didn't he only last 5 months as Reading manager too? Interesting appointment.
  23. Football Season 2011/2012

    Is it dumb? He only had 7 defenders called up with 9 midfielders. I can't think of another midfielder good enough to take on the Barry role really and I'm not even sure Barry would have started even if we end up playing one up front for the first 2 games. I think calling in Jagielka makes sense, he or jones can slot in there if needed. Just got to hope Scotty Parker doesn't go out injured now. Carrick has said he is not interested in being a bit part player so has more or less retired. I can see the first 2 games being Carroll up front on his tod with a midfield 5. Walcott and Young on the wings and Parker, Gerrard, Lamps in the middle. Maybe Gerrard playing off Carroll or go with Young playing off him. Not the most exciting but can see it happening until Wazza is back. Will he then switch to 4-4-2? Who knows.
  24. Best MP3 player?

    Chaps, I'm after a new MP3 player. Been looking at a few different ones and at the moment the Creative Zen Style M300 is taking my fancy. http://uk.store.creative.com/entertainment-devices-mp3-players/zen-style-m300/948-20615.aspx Anyone have any recommendations? Are the Sony walkman ones any good? what about Sandisk? Only things I'm after are: No apple Small 8GB or more Video not overly needed Creative one up above seems the best match for me at the mo.... Cheers

    Very interesting. I don't think there will ever be one Ireland football team. The sport is far too sectarian in the North for it even to be considered. Imagine the uproar from the Northern Ireland (mostly Unionist) fans if they tried to merge it. Not going to happen for a few generations I would say. What I find interesting is that Derry/Londonderry FC chose to leave the Irish premiership (Northern Ireland) and joined the League of Ireland Premiership (ROI). Don't really know the history as to why but I assume that could be down to sectarian issues and perhaps too much trouble at games when playing most of the other teams in the Irish premiership. Sad that a sport can't be enjoyed by all no matter what side of the community you are from. At least Northern Ireland have got the Ice Hockey right with the Belfast Giants!!
