Im selling a car on ebay currently as a Classified Ad, seems to work well as had a few offers, but none at home much I want (although getting closer). Funnily enough Im after a 1 litre 206 for the Mrs for when she passes her test as I don't fancy insuring her on the new car I have coming at the end of the month.

Yup 2nd that motion, I am at work today on 1.5 hours sleep as our little man is not well and cries half the night.

It amazes me how people can be against these work schemes and I'm disappointed the Gvmt has backed down a bit as in the end these people who were threatened are currently getting money for FREE and usually claim they cant get work because of no experience and then when offered experience complain or quit. The only reason these companies are pulling out is because they are frightened of a group of degenrates standing outside and moaning about having to work. Its the ultimate in procrastination, complain about working for longer than they have to actually work.

Had a mate who used to work in the warehouse. I also failed a phone interview for a tech role there a few years back mainly because Im not good at buzz words. Despite the hit to my ego, they actually did me a favour as 2 years later I ended up in the role Im in now earning double what they were offering.

Yep was pleasently surprised. Nearly 100k sold here compared 250K ish in the states. Still plenty of people around with cash to spend it seems. Anyway, I love it, forgot how much fun Everybody's Golf is.

Some good displays last night. Boetsch has some serious KO power, I think he should be next for Bisping.

Mine is currently charging on my desk at work for some lunch time gaming

It will be the first one, play PS3 games on the Vita, but nothing is supported from day 1.

Doh!! I did see it was on the PS Store the other day (in original guise I guess) after getting all nostalgeic when you guys were talking about it. Oh well, maybe if they get it running on the vita I would be interested as would never have the time to play through it again at home. I still have UFC3: Undisputed to get cracking at.

What is bizarre for me reading this and the FF thread is I completed VII but I don't remember most of what is being discussed (Junon etc), it seems my memory is shot to pieces. Maybe if/when they do a HD makeover I will play through again. I see X is getting a remake and I never played it so will possibly pick that up....

Currently playing Uncharted 2 (after recently completing 3 - going backwards in the series) and hopefully from tomorrow will be playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss too.

Too hard to call I think. I mean time-wise I probably spent more time playing Street Fighter II and various iterations since then any other game, but best game ever? Probably not. I also love Super Mario World and Mario 64, not so much on Sunshine just felt it was missing something and Ocarina of Time is of course awesome. I have a few personal favourites such as Escape From The Planet of The Robot Monsters on arcade, Meglomania on Megadrive, Chrono Trigger on the SNES and Final Fantasy VII. Whilst dated now, Halo is truly genre defining imho. Not many games I have sat for hours throwing granades under a truck to see what will happen - loads of fun!!

Well I decided about a week ago I fancied one, mainly due to the fact family stops me playing regularly at home. I have about an hour each way into work so the chance to play near console quality games on the move is appealing. The best example is I traded Rayman Origins at the weekend as I have managed to play it for about an hour in the 2 months Ive owned it and on Vita I will get the time to actually play it. Other than probably Rayman and a couple of PSN games, others look okay rather than great, but when has that ever been different for a launch of a console. There is definately potential for top games and that is enough for me. Im interested to see reviews of Ninja Gaiden and Unit 13.....

Big Trouble in Little China??

The Missing

I think Bisping was done by U.S. judges last night. Deserved the win for killing Sonnens pressure wrestling for 13 of 15 mins.

A reply would totally off topic but that is some kind of insanity you're thinking with there. Depends on your viewpoint I guess...

It beggers belief that some people on here think that 26k after tax is not enough, its madness.

I couldn't agree more with this. I think I would end up voting for Democrats in America as I find the Republicans far too extreme, or at least at the moment. They have heavily veered far off to the right and I couldn't align myself with these homophobic, racist nut jobs.

Not sure either way to be honest, Heathrow is certainly creaking. I still though dont see why they dont use Northolt as the third runway for Heathrow?!?

Tis excellent, I used it once before and it worked then 8 months later I was back. I have though been smoke free for over a year now and essentially I used the mantra from the book to control my willpower. All the patches, spray etc do is keep nicotine in your body. The book just teaches you how weak-willed and pathetic you are :-)

I think it will be difficult for Bisping but I think he is very underrated (and hated). He has only really been stopped by Hendo and I personally think he was unlucky on decisions with Silva and Evans. As boring as it is he will just do he score points and run away thing he does so effectively.

And as if by magic.... Ed's paymasters are not so happy now

If you're after a sensible discussion about the future of manufacturing in this country or most other 'western' economies then you might do best to leave the 'crush the unions' prejudice to one side. Fair enough, what do you think can be done? It depends what this increasing provision would bring with it and how it may imperil (perhaps further) the UK economy. What I took from the gist of the Morgan Stanley graph in the other thread (showing G10 debt distribution over sectors) is the imbalance within our economy (as opposed to the conclusions drawn about London's position within the global financial environment); the worry would be that allowing (or even encouraging) that sector to play a larger part within the UK economy than the 7/8/10 % that it already does may (and possibly has to) bring with it many more problems than the benefits that could be seen in headline figures of GDP and the like. Japan's reliance on manufacturing isnt exactly helping them right now....
