RE: Low Priced ex rental dvds

Bye bye bad guy....

RE: derren brown is a c***

Just wondering if anyone watched last nights episode? I thought that it was actally very good - much better than the last 2.....or had you all already given up on him?

RE: People with 50mb broadband?

A few guys at work have the Virgin 50mb and they seem to be getting no slower than 45 at any given time and they are mostly touching the 50mb.

Me, I`ll second Stu regarding the o2 thing - I`ve just gone with them for £9.70 a month for `up to 20mb` and I`m getting an average of 18 - well chuffed :-D

RE: Double Celebration

Congrats to you and your wife - what a milestone!

My wife & I have just passed our 3 week anniversary - going well so far but still a long way to go to match you.....especially as we`re both 34 years old!!

Here`s hoping you get another 37 years in :-D


Also, have yourself a great Birthday....

RE: Recommend me some top US TV Shows....

I must say that I`ve been really enjoying Harpers Island - and, even if the story doesn`t grab you, it`s more than worth it for the bride to be, Mr David Cassidys daughter nonetheless, as she`s just gorgeous ;-)

RE: Transferring mobile number, same provider.

Bowf, I did exactly this with Orange in one of their shops about 5 months ago. I was pay as you go with them. I walked out with a new contract SIM and had the same number as soon as I got home.

I`m not sure about doing it over t`internet or phone but they made a call from the shop whilst I was there and it was all sorted.

Hope this helps.

RE: Broadband, how long should a line take to settle?

Well, I`m hoping you end up with a good speed - I`m about to switch to o2 and, as I live no more than 15 metres from a BT exchange building, I was hoping to take them up on their 20Mb package. However....I`ve gone online and checked the available speeds to me and it states `up to 6 Mb`. So, I call BT to be told that the maximum I can get from any provider will be 8Mb......how gutted am I?!! I`m guessing that, with contention, I`ll be lucky to get 4.....how close do I have to be???


*edit* - just whacked my postcode into the o2 website and it tells me I`ll get 1 or 2 Mb.

Truly gutted.

RE: Let the Right One In - Blu-ray question...

Honestly 1mills, I cannot recommend `The Dark Tower` enough - due to `lacking in time to read as much as I`d like` issues, it`s taken up a year of my life so far and I`m only just on the verge of finishing book 5.

I`ve always loved King but this is another level - think Lord of The Rings as opposed to his horror writings....

RE: Happy Birthday Juls!

Happy Birthday for yesterday Juls :-)

RE: Let the Right One In - Blu-ray question...

Well, I`ve been checking stuff out on t`net and it wold appear that the story in the film is nowhere near as dark as the book, Robert. However, by the sound of it, they`d never get away with a release of what`s in the book! I hope you like it as much as I did - I thought it was beautfully shot - you may well have to forget how you`ve imagined Oskar to look though.

I`m dying to read the book now but am 5 books in on the 7 book `The Dark Tower` series by Stephen King and cannot drag myself away from it :-) As soon as I`ve finished those it`s the first book on my list.....

RE: Let the Right One In - Blu-ray question...

I thought I`d jump in here ans say that we watched this film yesterday - what a film! Absolutely loved it from start to finish :-)

I didn`t catch it at the flicks so can`t comment on the subs but it`s definitely a purchase I`ll be making soon - I`m almost dreading the `remake` though, I feel it`s one of those films that should be left the hell alone!

Sky Sports News......

I know that the title suggests that this is sports related and, as such, could seem like it`s in the wrong forum but it`s not really.....

I was just wondering whether anyone had noticed the change of music on the Sky Sports channel? If so, I`m hoping you like it as it was my mate who wrote and produced it (with another guy, I believe - I`m waiting to find out more detail).

He deserves this due to the fact that the last couple of albums he`s produced have seen him being done out of cash (due to contract wrangles) and he is truly an amazing producer - this venture is not what he normally does but he thought he`d have a crack at it and it`s paid off :-)

If you`ve heard it I`d be interested to hear what you think.....

RE: My Mum

Happy Birthday wishes from me & the Mrs :D

RE: Steven Gerrard found not guilty.

I have to agree with Paull here - as soon as I heard about it I thought he`d get off. After all, he`s a footballer and they do seem to be untouchable by the law in a lot of cases.

I`ll second the `my ass` statement made above.

RE: Let`s get it off our chests......

What a C*** he is - Superc*** :-D

RE: Samsung Tocco

Yeah, it is a little annoying and the browsing isn`t great but I only really use it for checking my mails from time to time so it doesn`t bother me all that much.

Still, it takes good photos and is a pleasure to text with so it does have some pro`s :-)

RE: Let`s get it off our chests......

OK, as this has veered off from having a pop at each other to having a pop at people on telly, I`d like to say that I would most like to gouge the eyes of the long, curly haired tw*t in the confused.com adverts......you know the one: "you know what the most confusing thing about confused.com is? absolutely nothing!" - I`d like to confuse you mate.....with a punch straight in the face >:(

RE: Bonjour!

Hey hey, leave my arse out of it - although it is a nice one.......Basbat, have you ventured into my other thread yet? I was kinda hoping you`d appear on there :-)

RE: Samsung Tocco

I have the old one - not the Ultra - I must say that I do like it and I use the supplied battery cover that incorporates a flap/cover for the screen.

I was offered the upgrade and then started to read reviews from people saying that it would drop calls, turn itself off etc etc and so was worried that I`d have the same issues but I`ve had none of them.

how come you get rid of yours roar?

RE: Bonjour!

No! I`m Robertic......oh, not me......I`ll get me coat.

RE: Samsung Tocco

Thanks Pat - I`ll give that a try.

I`ll let you know if it works.....

RE: Happy birthday Roberticus

Nice one chaps! How nice..... :D

Let`s get it off our chests......

Right, had an idea whilst replying to a post in the Mobiles forum....

I know that you`re not allowed to be too nasty to each other on here but I reckon that we all need to vent at times and so I thought I`d open myself up to some abuse :-)

So, please feel free to hurl your insults at me and then, once a few people have replied, feel free to have a pop at them too - nothing too nasty, just a bit of fun.

Only rules:

1) Nothing too personal
2) No-one takes it to heart


What say ye fellow members?

You bunch of........ ;-)

RE: Bonjour!

I don`t think that 34`s over the hill but I must admit that it`s starting to feel that way - I`m waking up really early these days and have no ability to have a `lie in` on a Sunday - hangovers are harder and harder to deal with - each year seems to be screaming past at an alarming rate etc etc......this year in particular is ticking by very quickly although this could be due to the fact that I`m getting married in 6 weeks time 8)

RE: Samsung Tocco

How odd, I replied to this a little while ago but the post`s not showing.....

Anyway, I took it tongue in cheek BM, don`t worry - I`m fairly hard to offend :-D


Either way, it would appear that I`m the only person who owns one of these phones - I would have an iphone if I could stomach the monthly contract charge - no shortage of games for that out there!

We could always play the `let`s try to offend him` game if that suits...maybe a new thread in the General Forum....

RE: Bonjour!

Well Snaps, I`d have to say that I`m still heading up the hill - 34th birthday tomorrow so please correct me if you think that`s already over it!!

Giles Peterson Worldwide Music Festival

Just wondering if anyone on here was at the festival in France a couple of weekends ago?

Samsung Tocco

Hi all, quick question.......does anyone know if there are any free game downloads out there for this phone?

I`ve had it for a couple of months now and really like it - I just can`t bring myself to pay a fiver per new game :-(

RE: Who wants to be a zombie

I`m definitely IN.

Seriously, me & the Mrs love anything zombie - just imagine looking around and being in a scene from Dawn of the Dead for real!

Also, I personally think that a tenner is nothing for the chance to, potentially, eat some brains !


Come on Basbat - I`ll even save you a nice bit of bumcheek for you to chew on :D

RE: Bonjour!

Oh, and thanks to you all for your warm welcome......!
