I dropped out of sixth, was the best thing I ever did. I had 6 months of doing nothing really, then went to college, did really well and then went on to uni. When it comes to college/sixth form, it really isn't the end of the world to drop out and "find yourself". Your parents might find it a lot easier to accept if you make a new plan before dropping out. Could you work part time for your uncle whilst attending college to do some kind of relevant car mechanic type qualification? The first level will be full of chavs and scum, but you could then use that to move on to a higher level qualification. Might even end up working in F1 one day.

It's also in the Two Towers, a guy falls off the wall during the battle for Helms Deep. It's also in one of the Rambo films, but I can't remember which.

I've also used one before, well worth buying.

I think you might be gay. EDIT: You changed the picture, but I stand by my theory. -

Yep, pics, naked pics. Definitely. -
Bit more like Chuck Norris I'd have thought.

Sounds like you're not ready to settle down, or that there are other problems in your relationship. Personally, I just ignore those kind of urges. Every bloke gets them, especially when we're young, but I'm certain I'd rather be in my relationship because I think it's going somewhere. -

But if they used bluetooth they'd never work at all?

Certainly sounds that way dude. If you can get the disc to run then there should be a repair option though. Does it already have W7 ultimate on it? The site I linked to is only the ISOs, you still need a licence. I'd try getting whatever it has on it already (Unless it came with ultimate? Which isn't very common) and running the repair option. If it's not booting to the DVD, try entering the BIOS and reordering the boot priority.

For such a small band, that's a brave move if they're paying for it... It's good to have a properly produced album to send out to people, but with ~750 likes on facebook they don't strike me as the most popular band in the world. I can see it not paying off to be honest.

Start a proper sport like climbing then, instead of this trials shite! I think the important thing is just to do something. If you do something, and make new friends through it, then those friends are likely to go to a pub, and their single friends may also be at that pub. I introduced one of my climbing partners to a girl my girlfriend works with at my girlfriend's 21st, they're still together nearly 10 months later. Obviously that's just one scenario, but I'm just saying that if you do some kind of hobby where you meet new people a lot, you're more likely to find a ladyfriend. If she has similar interests then that's just a bonus. I had the same kinda bipolar switching over my last breakup. Admittedly most of the time I hated her guts because she turned out to be a cheating, stealing, manipulative so-and-so, but it was a good 6 months I reckon before I never felt anything more. It's natural really, you'll keep pining over her until you find something better. It's human nature really. It's likely that it's the same reason I still miss all my trials bikes from time to time, even though I never rode them then and couldn't ride them now. They all had something a bit different or special that you can never replicate again. -

Bollocks, only the shit girls do that, and you only ever see the shit ones because the good ones get snapped up by decent lads and they live happily ever after. I'd say about half the girls I know have some undesirable traits to their personality. The other half are decent human beings. One of the key things to look for IMO is that the lady in question has a hobby. All (without exception) the serious climber girls I know are level headed and wouldn't hurt a fly, yet most of the girls I know without a hobby, who spend all their free time and money on going out on the lash, are skets with no goals for the future or morals or any idea of what to do with themselves. I dunno whether that's because having a hobby takes conviction (you have to lay out a load of money and organise things), or whether it's because they have something to do, but it's just something I observed. -
CCleaner has a registry cleaner, gives the best results I've found. I also used Eusing Registry Cleaning for a long time but it's too brutal IMO.

Do it for a year, then it won't.

5 miles? Cycle you fatty!

That's silly cheap for that car! But still, £700 is double £350, for something that is slower, safer in a crash and harder to steal.

Fails on the first criteria, it isn't as fast as a big bike. How much is your insurance if you don't mind me asking? Any car you present must do 170mph and 0.60 in under 3 seconds. Tis completely crazy, it would cost me double to insure a 0.8l Suzuki Wagon R than a Yamaha FZR1000.

Quotes are all spazzed. You can't edit the tags any more and you can't copy and past them, it just shows as plain text with an indentation? They're also missing the original post's info (when posted, who posted by etc).

Dave: Commuting on bikes is nasty dude, don't do it! I doubt it'd be that much cheaper to be honest. Most bikes only do about 50mpg, and your commute isn't that long is it? Would take a good while to pay off, plus bikes are horrible for commuting on in winter. In the middle of a winters day is OK normally, but at commuting times it's always dark.

It must be bullshit when you think about it, it's a business and they're out to get money out of you. Fact is that everyone I know and can think of is paying silly amounts in insurance (my Mums is well over £500 now), but everyone needs their cars, so they just pay it, which makes the insurance companies happy. (If they can charge you £500, why would they want to charge you £250?) Best example I can think of is that since the late 90s, the number of people passing their bike tests have been falling massively because the government/DVLA have made the test harder. Insurance companies need the business, so insurance is DIRT cheap on bikes now. For example, at 21 I could insure a 150bhp, 170mph superbike for £350. If you can find a car that a 21 year old can insure for less than 10 times that, that does 170mph, I'll be surprised. When you consider that was fully comp on a bike worth £3k, with breakdown cover, overseas cover etc, and it was a pretty high risk bike, in a high risk area, parked on the street overnight, you start to realise that things are not that simple. Last bike I insured was my MZ ETZ 125, and it cost £85 TPFT, and that was on a provisional licence. I think that was purely because business from bikers is dropping. The answer is simple really, you all need to scrap your cars so I can afford one.

Yeh, that. If the laws weren't in place and the rozzers didn't care and the courts were corrupt (like in Russia, for example), then I'd be fecked. What happens if the landlord decides my rent is now £5k a month? I can't afford to pay that, or to bribe him on the side, or to hire a hitman. What if the gas people run out of gas? I don't actually care, it's their problem to keep my supply coming. And so on, and so on. Pretty much everything we have is only available because of the government keeping an eye on it for us.

GTA IV is a RAM eater and doesn't seem to scale well on multi GPU setups. I find anyway.

Nah I was being deadly serious. I'm incredibly stupid in a lot of areas, there's no way I could survive without the government keeping an eye on the people who give me electricity, gas, water, broadband, food, clothes, even our flat. I couldn't care less if there is some worldwide plot whereby the banks control governments and the import/export of things, or that they're making a fortune off us, all I care about is that I can earn a living and that I can live my life stress free, and the fact is that all those people are doing a very good job. Even on minimum wage I can afford a place to live and shit loads of toys with which to entertain myself.
