just bought a 55 plate vauxhall astra diesel as i'm moving jobs and need a commuter car. it's the SRi so looks pretty nice and drives really well (and cheaply!) my old car is a 53 plate MG ZR 160. goes like the clappers and makes a very satisfying noise doing so!! it's actually up for sale at the moment, so if anyone in the Swindon/Wiltshire area is after a lovely looking and running car then let me know. only 51k on the clock too y'know!

agreed. I get really bored of using computers by the time I get home every night! barely ever go on the laptop now. I've got a single box in my living room which is media server/player, and then 1 in each bedroom to watch the media on from downstairs. none of it is on permanently though, as i'm also a bit tight fisted with it! used to be though.

I fitted one to a MK3 astra before. ended up buying 2 (very similar) kits. one came with mandarin/engrish instructions and wouldn't work. found a much better (and not much more expensive) kit from someone who did full fitting instructions based on what car you had. very very good, was fitted and working in 10 minutes flat. if i remember right on the vauxhall stuff of that era, under the kick panel in the drivers footwell you should find all the wiring you need to fit this. it just crimps onto the wires already in place, no need to cut into stuff specifically.

seems we're a lot more pessimistic around here, we all have England down as a loss unfortunately! i'd like to think we could win something, sometime, but their recent performance tells me different...

what on EARTH do you use all this computing power to do?!

so i'm assuming she can cook you nice food for you and the drinking buddies and deliver it to the door? (not into the cave itself mind you, thats men only). the one problem i find with the whole downstairs being a man cave is that the girlfriend has to enter it, and she beats me at some of the console games, so then i have to confiscate the controllers and send her to do some washing up or something...

ramesys (now part of crapita though...)

i'll have to post up pictures of the living room at mine sometime. There's 3 guys in our house, so the whole thing is basically one giant man cave. multiple leather recliners, big TV and surround sound with consoles, proper table football, darts and another sofa in the kitchen (so we can relax while i get the missus to cook the dinner of course!) and a dedicated beer fridge to go with. It just makes you think eh..... why get married?!

that sounds like a man/woman cave you have there....

this is Director of ICT post though. it's a teaching post

who wouldn't want that?!

depends what times of day you are getting that amount of traffic, i assume its got peak times and isn't an even spread?

and you're home in the day to use it? 4pm-9pm is 5GB limit. you can hit that in under 15 minutes going at full speed.

that seems a little unnecessary....
