I'm on my phone so can't post pics or links, but for £20 you can get an Aeropress or a Moka pot and you will have some awesome coffee. The Aeropress is a bit more of a faff but both make great espresso.

It was really very good.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I'm a fucker for use by and best before dates. I don't throw food away though because my good lady is actually fairly normal (in this situation). It's mainly bread that I'm fussy about, and all because when I was a bid I made myself a sandwich and a few bites into it I spotted the mould and very nearly threw up. Oh and milk... won't touch it if it's a day past the date, and once again that's down to a previous nasty experience.

Just had my renewal from Direct Line. Went up from £360 to £540 so I gocompared and got a quote for £312. During the quote I noticed that I'd put 12k annual mileage and it's more like 20k so I stuck that in and it came to £360 and that included protected no claims and breakdown cover. Cool. I called Direct Line and told them that I got a much cheaper quote, they said they'd see what they can do. I mentioned the added mileage and the protected no claims and their renewal price went to... ....wait for it... ....£770.

For some odd reason I like watching the shopping channels. I don't buy any of the stuff (ok, I bought a Nicer Dicer plus for my wife) but I actually find myself staring at the box watching the 90th demonstration on how this particular paint pad isn't like all the other shit ones; this one REALLY WORKS! There's a great JML one at the moment... the Dual Saw... it's got the 2 shoutiest douchebags on the planet presenting (Billy Mayse is one of them), each desperately trying to out-shout the other. "Look at this fucking thing... it just chopped a fucking car in half!! Why haven't you got one?!!??!" TV gold. [YOUTUBE]65uKsgGS44M[/YOUTUBE]

Congratulations Mr. Sex.

I don't even want to know what this involves.

Yeah 1gb of data is plenty. Have a look in Settings / General / Cellular and turn off the option to use cellular data for iTunes and Facetime and you shouldn't get caught out.

Maybe try this: EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies

Been let down by a few Netgear routers now... used to think they were excellent. I've gone onto TP-Link now and they seem to be very reliable thus far. Certainly outlasted the last 2 Netgear ones.

I've got some serious shoulder and neck pain that's been going on for years. It's just from sitting at a desk all day I think. Certainly haven't injured it. Finally went and had it looked at last week. Myofascial Trigger Points are the cause. Basically knots in the muscle, and at least one of them is the size of a small Yorkshire village. MRI scan today, and if there are only one or two I can look forward to a steroid injection right into the lumps. Otherwise it's a lot of massage and physio to fix it. Weirdly hoping for the jabs because its fucking agony and I want it fixed!

Never seen it before but I'm dying to find out what the effing fuck has happened to your machine! I'd guess that a nasty virus is ucking with your shh. I assume you've done adequate virus scans? And have you checked, as described above, that these services have actually stopped? Boot into safe mode to see if it happens then. If not the do a malwarebytes/combo fix/Kapersky Rootkit/tdss killer routine. If no virus turns up, and if Uncle Meat doesn't respond with the right answer very soon, I'd back your docs and shit up and reinstall.

Is half the world dead yet? I suppose, being Mayans, we're basing things on their time zone. I'll check back in 8 hours. Is it 8? Clocks going back always messes me up.

At the very least Lewis stopped a French guy getting laid. He deserves credit for that surely?!

The iPad mini is smaller than a normal iPad, but bigger than an iPhone. HTH.

Unfortunately mate you've already installed it and its dreadful. Mcafee?! Like a virus do you?

Well if everyone's getting them I might as well join in. Ta!

I want to rep you again because that XBMC hub link looks like it could be the absolute hounds mounds.

Just did mine last night... had a few snags on the way but it looks pretty impressive. I used Seas0npass and have so far only installed Icefilms which unfortunately has a bug that asks to install metadata but if you try that the links to films don't work. So you have to disable metadata by holding down the menu button and navigating through the settings. Anyway, not really for the faint-hearted in my opinion. But well worth it once you've got the hang of it. Thanks for the links by the way. I'll have a look at that lot later.

Yeah as above really... just to add though, Apple TV doesn't have Sky Go 'built in', and also the app itself doesn't allow you to use Airplay or even mirroring. It's a bit of a fucker but you can understand why Sky would restrict it. You can mirror from a MacBook. All in all though, if it's a truly shite broadband connection then it's not going to serve its purpose anyway.
