  1. Miami is ace! I went there on holiday once. Admittedly, it was only South Beach, which seems to be quite distinct from Miami proper. It was a little bit... gay, but dead nice. Do it, or move to Brum to be near your beloved.
  2. Seeing that Wiggy has posted in the amusing gifs thread.

    Yeah, but if I'm on the phone it takes me ages to go backwards and forwards between Tweetdeck and VT. If the VT name is in the profile it's just one really quick click and glance.

    Hello everyone. Would be useful if y'all put your VT username in your profile, cos then I'd know who you are and stuff.
  5. What make is it? I have a Worcester Bosch one and I get them to service it - you pay a bit more, but hey guarantee to sort it out, so if it isn't fixed they'll come back and fix it for no extra charge. Friend had a similar experience with Potterton boilers; same service. So, in short, try the manufacturer.
  6. You have my respect. I hope he appreciates the sacrifice you're making!
  7. When an MP got done on Clapham common one evening for soliciting gay sex. "Bandits at six o'clock"

    Halloween

    Not fussed either way myself but my ex's kids loved it. Apparently you only knock on the door of a house with a pumpkin in the window/out the front - you're supposed to leave people alone otherwise. So if you have a front door and you don't want trick or treaters, don't put a pumpkin out. And when they knock on the door anyway, tell them the rules. Nicely...
  9. Bloomsbury bowl is a good shout. Cheap beer too, especially considering how central it is.
  10. I remember ripping that show from iplayer and converting it to mp3 for him. I enjoyed the show and ended up phoning in myself the following night. Also bought a Pure Evoke Flow mostly on his recommendation. Rest in peace old chap.
  11. How about hiding your children with international statesmen?
  12. Listening to the Steps greatest hits album. Cheesy pop wonderfulness.
  13. Ronin. There are a few chases in the film. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITS5GkkqgEQ* Includes low camera angles, scary stunts, high speed driving against the flow of traffic and European cars revving so high you think the engines are going to pop. Also includes Robert Deniro and Jean Reno. *Apologies about the sound being out of sync.
  14. I think Brooker is doing it to prove a point about trolling.
  15. This. Although, looking at your avatar sheldon I'm not surprised. You may love Depeche Mode or you may hate them, but he is an awesome frontman. Was in the audience for that one. England had beaten Denmark 1-0 earlier in the day.
  16. Delete your cookies. May work. Certainly works with budget airlines, although only if you've been quitting before putting your details in...
  17. When I'm next to people playing loud music on their mobile phone I join in and play some loudly on my phone. Usually Bach.
  18. I was going to try a pooh post and I took my phone and everything, but I forgot. NPP
  19. I used to use Adrian Flux. Make up a low quote and they'll beat it.
  20. I think you should celebrate by having a triple espresso. At midnight.
  21. There are two sorts to my mind. The ones (eg in Mass Effect) where things are unlocked/enhanced in game and the ones that make no difference whatsoever (eg Civ V). I prefer the former. All that said, in LOTRO you earn 'titles' for doing stuff and you choose which one you want to display publicly, the idea being you change them regularly. I never change mine. I am a Pie Eating Champion. Hobbit ain't I?
  22. Barry Hearn has been complaining as league rules say you can't move to another team's patch. Unless you pay a lot of money. Levy was only ever after financial compensation and he's got it, at what cost to the public purse though? Of course, he doesn't give a **** about that. Re being miles away from the pitch, apparently there were going to be retractable seats that go over the running track.
  23. Hmmm. After a steep learning curve with Android, I'm really starting to get into my San Fran now. Don't see what's so awful about it in its vanilla (i.e. Orange) form, though. I ignore the apps I don't want, I've installed the ones I do, I've got it looking neat, and it does the job. Why would I want to root it, really? Things have changed since I rooted mine - the San Fran has since been officially upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 which means a) it's quicker and you can install apps on the SD card , which can be up to 16 gb, as opposed to just on the phone which only has 512mb. At the time rooting it was the only way to do it. I'm not on orange, so unlocking it was necessary, and removing the apps I didn't want was desirable. I recall being told that there was a whole load of stuff that would slow the phone down, but you could only get rid of if you wiped the phone and rooted it. I never stuck with the orange stuff to find out if that was actually the case... I rooted and installed the Swedish....Rom from Modaco on my sons San Francisco and was surprised how easy it was. I used to play around with roms on my old Windows Mobile handsets and it always seemed to be a leap of faith half the time. The next step will be going from a Gen1 to a Gen 2 rom I suppose which might prove a little more tricky. Ooh, that was the first one I put on when I got my san fran. Is very nice. I then put on Cyanogenmod just to see: I kept it because the power bar was more configurable. Anyway I installed 7.1 last night and the difference is huge in terms of speed and battery life. May be worth looking at if you get the itch. I did change mine from gen1 to gen 2, but I think the CMmods do it automatically for you now. Possibly...
