    The M5 crash

    I read an interview with one driver who was lucky enough to get through the carnage, apparently you just suddenly hit a dense wall of fog/smoke and you couldn't even see the front of the car, plus there was lot's of standing water with car/lorries skidding all over the place. Very scary and yes there 'may' be incidences of people driving too fast, but I certainly wouldn't be jumping to that conclusion at the moment.
  2. Got to be Priscilla Queen of the Desert, that'll go nicely with a Movemeber mustache.
  3. Rewire the front USB to that special mains circuit which has a faulty trip switch.....
  4. You're meant to be growing a mustache, not a full beard! Mine has come through blonde, so anything over a metre away I still look clean shaven:doh:
  5. He was the son of a farmer, but the rest isn't true. He got a scholarship for his early education and then inherited some money to fund his medical training.
  6. Leave for Morocco on Boxing Day for a week . It's our Christmas present to each other, plus a load of Tesco Club Card points lol. All inclusive in a very nice hotel in Marakesh.
  7. Another 3lbs lost this week, really chuffed :-) Amazed when I took some measurements, 4" off waist, 5" off chest and most importantly as I suffer from Sleep Apnoea I've lost 2.5" off my neck:cool:
  8. Build Sep 14 XWKI4 XXKI1 XEUKH2 Looks like you've got one that's been sat in the warehouse for ages, maybe give your provider a ring and demand a replacement?
  9. Weird, just put my SG2 on full volume and compared it to my Sansa clip mp3 at full whack, no difference. Just walked outside with my HTC Desire & my SG2, the SG2 locked onto GPS virtually the same time, about 45 secs for both.
  10. It's perfectly clear in their FAQ what they do: Operation Christmas Child | FAQs about Operation Christmas Child
  11. Loud enough for me, but not what others would call 'loud', probably to do with the stupid EU elf n safety regs on personal stereo volume.
  12. Good luck with it all, when I did this I moved from Kent to West Yorkshire which was certainly an experience and culture change. Still up here 24 years later :-)
  13. If the staff one doesn't take off, I'll join the Edugeek one.
  14. Yeah: Before (--------) Now (-----) Goal () 2st 2lbs lost in 2 months through low carb and walking more, 6st 4lb to go!

    Dear BBC

    Same here, absolutely amazing series. Some brilliant, very understated acting which is holding the tension and suspense.
  16. Samsung Galaxy S II is pretty stunning, got one last week and very impressed. The other advantage is you can get it free on contracts from £23 upwards if you shop around a bit.
  17. Next week there is a debate and vote in the house of commons on having a referendum on the EU. This debate was brought about by enough members of the public petitioning to have this debate. However, the party leaders (all of them, not just the torys) are threatening to enforce the party whip to make mp's vote against holding a referendum. I find this absolutely disgusting, it's not in the coalition agreement and therefore should be a free vote. I would urge as many of you as possible to write to your mp, easiest way WriteToThem - Email or fax your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, London Assembly Member for free, and vent your displeasure at the party leaders attempts to hijack this vote.
  18. They're still in negotiations with that papyrus scroll cartel, be a long time before they get onto the rotary phone lot.
  19. So, an organisation that can't even get it's own accounts signed off by the auditors for 17 years due to corruption has reached settlement with a cartel, hmmm......
  20. Should be fine, works no problem in the kitchen next door, which is well over 5m away. Our house between floors is somehow built like a Faraday cage, so we get poor wifi between floors, but that happens on a meaty dual aerial wifi access point as well.
  21. The wireless N on the plug can be disabled. I use it as I don't get a good signal in my lounge from the router upstairs, so I run my PS3, Humax pvr off the plug and have the wireless N for aptops etc in the lounge. They do a 3 port without wireless, but it's not cheaper as it's in their 500Mbps range. dLAN® Mains supply network via powerline ... devolo AG
  22. +1 for the Devolo, best ones I've tried and having the 3 ports in 1 plug is very useful. The wireless works well if nearby, don't expect it to cover the whole house as the aerials are in the plug, so not that powerful.
  23. It's just started through Orange in the UK atm, see List of NFC phones, others are beginning to move across once old stocks have run out.
  24. The S2 has a front facing camera and the latest versions of it have NFC, although you need to check when buying if it will have NFC.
  25. Go for the S2, it's a brilliant phone, you won't be disappointed:D I just got one a few days ago. I didn't wait for the Nexus for a few reasons. First, it's a effectively a beta product, if you want to pay to be a beta tester, then go ahead, me I'll wait until they've sorted out any niggles with Android 4. Also, you can pick up an S2 free on a contract at £23.50 a month (Phones 4U), the Nexus will be £35 plus to get it free. Samsung have already said that any phone model up to 18 months old that is capable of running Android 4 will get the upgrade, so the S2 will get it at some point.
