  1. I'm with Natwest, they're trying to make me use that f**king keypad to log in but I keep clicking no. I have to: Put in my customer number (DOB followed by 4 digits, win). Enter 3 digits of my online PIN Enter 3 letters of my online password Click no I really don't want extra security.
  2. Well it is from Leicester. And Boumsong is from near Leicester. Remember his BMScirocco? That's just how it's done down there. 650bhp+ through a clutch that looks tiny in the hands of a hamster is a silly clutch.
  3. Drive up, stop off at mine, ride Sheff for a day, on you go, sorted.
  4. Blatently the Lambo was the best by a long way.
  5. Lol, f**king homo. I just made another batch. They're biguns! Made 10 burgers out of 1.5kg of mince, 6 eggs, 1 large onion and I added 1tbsp cumin, 1tbsp of mild curry powder and 1tbsp of soy sauce. Hopefully this batch will be a little less bland... Next time I'm considering experimenting with a sweet chilli version. Oh yeh, worked out some sums. Each burger has 40g protein, 20g fat, 8g saturates. That'll do me lol.

    Milk

    All very nice and everything, but the easiest way to make money is through exploitation. Having grown up in a farming community though, I have to call you out on a few points which sounds like shit to me. They do not always have the calves taken away for veal all the time (bulls you have to though, otherwise you'd have too many bulls). Dairy cows don't make for nice beef, they make tough, cheap, nasty beef. When they get old, they're sold off for slaughter and often end up in McDonalds burgers, but as veal is relatively expensive anyway, you very very rarely find dairy cow veal (ignoring dairy bull veal), it's usually beef cow veal, bred for the purpose. In the US, only 19% of all beef used for food is from dairy cows. Cows don't deserve to survive very long anyway IMO, they're incredibly stupid animals. If a 1000kg cow can be controlled and manipulated by a 75kg human, then they can't look after themselves anyway, so they have to pay for their existance. They can't even milk themselves, so humans have to do that for them as well. The amount of antibiotics they're given is controlled very carefully, it's been ratified by all the scientific bodies and has been proven to be the optimum level to make the milk safer. Poor conditions? You are aware they live in fields most of the time right? You do have to bring them in to the barn in winter to keep them warm but not 24/7, only when it gets properly cold, (i.e. well below freezing). The conditions they live in are carefully controlled to make life easier for them. The "natural" way is for you to be naked and sleep in a bush, but isn't it just nicer living in a house? As long as you clean the barn out daily, it's fine. It is exploitation, it's not very nice at times but it's not as bad as you've made out IMO. Although I do agree with you that milk isn't needed anyway. I've never liked drinking milk. I have it in tea and coffee, but haven't eaten cerial in at least 10 years. You can get your calcium from other sources easily enough, (which I believe you do need), but you can get enough from the veg in your diet. EDIT: BTW, if you're wondering if any of this is meant to be tongue in cheek, it is.
  7. Don't be a faggot. I'm counting the days until I'm due an upgrade and can get an S2. (Or wait for the S3). Then sell the S.
  8. Well this came as a bit of a shock to me. Today the UK signed ACTA. As has already started in the UK, ISPs will now be required to monitor activity for copyright naughtiness. SICK.
  9. That screen he's selling has one, I reckon anyway. But then he has 10 available, so I dunno.
  10. I'd presume he means a dead pixel.
  11. I'd say don't go on a "max bulk" kinda of thing, go for more of a clean bulk/conditioning thing. Basically eat the cleanest diet you can, getting plenty of protein in. (For a clean bulk I aim for 0.75g of protein per lb of lean mass). So if you weigh 182lbs with 15% BF like me, then your lean weight is roughly 155lbs, so you should be getting around 116g of protein. I'm currently trying to do a similar sort of thing, I've only done max bulk style training in the past, whereas now I'm eating a lean, high protein diet whilst just climbing as much as I can, and it seems to be having the biggest effect of anything I've done so far. I posted my current diet a page or so back, since then we've been discussing my lean burger recipe lol.
  12. Since the validation system was scrapped (best thing about this forum IMO), I've noticed a massive rise in the number of scummy wankers conning people or just being generally shit about posting stuff off. My top tips, either deal with someone you already know, or someone you have a mutual friend with. I've only been scammed once, and that was by Pete Wright. Got my money back though because I threatened to order a few tonnes of sand to his house. (Or something to that effect).
  13. Even training for comps, you're working very hard for under 2 minutes, it's not aerobic exercise at all IMO, it's still anaerobic.
  14. I see. Experiment I shall. I forgot to mention, I also have a load of eggs in mine for added protein goodness and to stick it all together. I'm doing mine tomorrow night, I shall have a play I shall...
  15. I've never heard a man talk so much shit. Some of the facts in there are scary, but the stuff he reads into them is rather ammusing. For a start, no-one has the resources to bring any of these people to court. No-one can afford to pay those kinds of charges, and they can't really track you anyway! From an IP address? Really? "Oh I'm sorry, I have to have my wireless unsecured because otherwise my xbox lags, want to play COD with me?". Fair enough if someone actually signed up to a Megaupload account and paid for it, and handed over their details, then they could in theory get bollocked for it.
  16. I don't do spices or seasonings. Never understood them. Tell me what to use and I'll try it lol. I was thinking some soy or some shit maybe like that? Play with it man, let's improve this shit together, like a communal TF recipe crew yo.
  17. 1kg lean mince, 1 large onion, chopped fine or grated, whichever floats your boat, 2 slices of bread made into crumbs, then mush into burger shapes (or use a burger machine). Make them big, they lose a lot of size in the oven. Preferably use an oven tray with a grill thingy so they're not sitting in the fat, amazes me how much fat comes out of them. Going to make a big batch this week but do them a bit thinner, will work out the stats and that at the same time. I warns you though, they're bland. Seriously bland. But with cheese, they tastes alright to me. More grams of protein than fat after your cooked and drained them I reckon, winnarrrrrrr.
  18. Yayyyy safe. You got a freezer yeh? These burgers are best frozen as soon as they're made, then cooked from frozen I find. Mushing all the meat up mixes fresh air into them and makes them go off a lot quicker. After 24 hours they're gone IMO. In case I forget, stick them in the oven, pre-heated to about 190-200C, half an hour or so, bangin. Take them out after 2 mins or so though to remove the grease proof paper disc things.
  19. Not strictly true, as you store a local copy of your files as well. All it means is you have to sync that computer as soon as you return to an internets to avoid conflicts, which is handles anyway.
  20. Well publically, they're supporting it and upping the fuss about it. Whatever their reasons, that's how they're behaving. I don't think that the internet will ever be actively policed, because no-one has the resources to do that, but I think that the laws will change and become harsher, and we'll get to a stage where websites simply dissapear overnight because some American in a suit desires it. I don't truely believe anything to be honest, because I'm not a moron. The future isn't here yet, but I do believe at some point, in some form there will be a higher level of censorship on the internet.
  21. No, these two were never going to fly, they're too heavy handed and way too time-consuming to police, and would bankrupt too many companies if they became resposible for their users uploads. That said, it shows the trend of things to come. SOPA is just a rehash of a bill that failed last year, that was a rehash of a bill that failed the year before. It'll keep returning until it gets passed! Wikipedia and Google doing it for publicity? Really? They're probably the two biggest known names to have come from the internet. Facebook is well against it anyway? Looksie.
  22. I'm not disputing the point you made about backing up stuff if you're using Megaupload to share it. (Quite frankly you deserve to lose it if you don't). I wouldn't so I was being sensationalist? If you read the SOPA bill, it says in plain black and white what they wanted to do, they were proposing to remove the option of being able to freely do things on the internet. If that bill had been passed, then Facebook would have had to shut down. it sounds sensationalist, but if it was me just blowing steam about it because I can't get free music any more, would Wikipedia have taken their site down for a day? Even Google are publically against this thing, not just by signing a bill but by actively spreading information about it. That should tell you enough really! They already have the power to do all the things you said there and I totally agree with them needing that kind of power, but SOPA was coming at it from entirely the other direction, not allowing you to do things, rather than giving you the power to make the choice. I'd liken it to stopping you speeding by simply taking your car away from you, then only allowing you to use it when the government deems it acceptable.
  23. It does need reading with a pinch of salt, but doesn't change the facts. The American government can already take down any site they like, they have the power they need to fight piracy, what they're proposing is giving them even more power over more people, by censoring what we do, before we actually do it. It's going against innoncent until proven guilty IMO. I've been wondering about that. The internet gave a lot of people the power and the voice to be heard by millions, which is a scarey thing if you're trying to govern a country. Much easier to keep everyoen confined in their own little worlds. Whether the American Govermnent wants to gain control of all information, or simply control the sharing of nasty/illegal information remains to be seen.
  24. Good point, but it's moved on from how pirating music has effected the internet and how we use it to whether the artists deserve paying in the first place? Did anyone read this that I posted earlier? Certainly scared me somewhat... http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/01/the-real-meaning-of-the-take-down-of-megaupload.html
  25. You're linking to a river from what I said? Taken out of context much? No I'm not donating my wages to a river in another country, because I have things in my own life to sort out first. Sorry if I think spending £5 on a CD from a band I really admire is more important than a river many thousands of miles away. (And yes, I do donate to some good causes, not that it's anything to do with you or anyone else). You said this: I stick to my original statement of: Your original post was a blanket statement about all musicians and was, in my opinion, horse shit. Very few artist are "overpaid wankers" and the majority are underpaid and underecognised. Anyway, can we stop talking about music and the environment and start talking about the internet?
