  1. Thanks for the help so far.

    I'm going to go to house of frasier and currys etc again to watch some SD contenton them to check they're okay. I'm not sure if 40" might be too big as 1080p on a 40" will look worse than 1080p on a 36/37" TV

    Also what do you all reckon to getting the 'set' of speakers that most manufacturers sell with them for £100 ish. I do have some good mission floopstandibg speakers and amp so could get the phono line out from the tv in to those? Opinions?

  2. They REALLY won't be strict, trust me. All my mates up in Sheff who live all around the place have Amps, road signs, fridges, speaker set-ups, Decks etc in their rooms and they've never once had a problem.

    You won't go over your electricity allowance, I've got a fridge here, big spekers and two monitors and Ive never heard any complaints.

  3. guess everything moves a bit more slowly up there then! i've only ever seen the places i'm moving into at most 2 weeks before i move in....and things change alot between tenants...

    More like we viewed the place for the next academic year this year early on and put a deposit down to secure a good location and apartment / floor number.

  4. The thing is, they're difficult to gauge if they're any good unless you see them in the flesh and showing video. Plus Thompson are a pretty shit brand.

    We're all putting £100 together to get the TV and are going to sell it after the year and then split the price we sell it for 7 ways again. The place we are moving in to doesn't have a TV, don't you think we'd know if they gave us a free TV when we move in 6 week's time?

    We've already explored renting and buying second hand and we're much happier buying from brand new, having warranty and then selling it with warranty to maintain value. Plus we know it won't f**k up as we're there for a full year, and all over the summers on our own.

    We're gonna start the Sky contract as soon as we move in, then have the possibility of paying to buy out a month early but no doubt one or two of us will be staying there until late in the contract anyway, working at our jobs in Sheffield.

  5. I was just wondering if anyone would like to give any kind of input as to what they would suggest that me and 6 of my friends do for a TV and such next year, in our apartment for our second year of Uni.

    We obviously need a TV, Broadband and Sky so we're looking for a good deal that suits our needs, which are:

    We're looking at either the Sony Bravia KDL40D3500 or at a real stretch Sony KDL 40V3000.

    We're using it for XBOX, Apple TV and PS3 so 1080p is a requirement really, as are 2 or 3 HDMI inputs. I've seen these in the flesh today and the picture quality is really good plus they're in put budget of £650-700 max.

    Broadband we're thinking of going with Sky, and getting a 3 mix variety pack. What are peoples experiences with Sky broadband? I have a Netgear router so will probably use that for wireless. It's £10 extra a month to Sky subscription which is £16 a month, which is unlimited downloads and up to 16mb download speeds.

    Any input or ideas would be helpful!

  6. Are there any other msn messengers for mac, besides adium and messenger:mac ?

    Google it but since you are lazy..

    Adium

    aMSN

    and Mercury

    are a good start.

    Use adium for normal use, aMSN for webcamming ho's

  7. I've had some toast and i'm feeling a bit better. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. I might be able to make work tomorrow 'cos I feel really bad if I let them down and I've been sick twice before, one cos of flu and the other 'cos of a sprained ankle.

    Grrr :(

  8. I'm pretty f**ked off, this girl I'm seeing I haven't seen in about a week, she just called me an was like 'yeah I can't see you till next weekend because I've got a load of exams in the week'. So I thought, that's fine, exams are important. But then she was saying she's going out with her mate Saturday night to her mates boyfriends house for a BBQ an I'm not aloud to come. To me, that's screaming out: You can't come to the BBQ because there'll be guys there that fancy me an I don't want you to ruin my chances if we stop seeing each other. Either that, or nobody knows we're seeing each other an she's playing a load of other guys.

    I really want to f**k her over, but the only thing I can think of is getting her pregnant.

    Maybe it's more of a private BBQ and she doesn't want to invite you as she doesn't know her mate's boyfriend well, and there'd just be you knowing her.

    It's shit about exams. My ex gf was like that and it f**ked me off lots. Assume positive intent, and if you find out she's f**king you about then stab her in the head :P

  9. I'm Ill.

    I think I've got a virus. Had a fever for 2 days being really warm but feeling freezing so sweating a lot in bed. I love in Uni halls so looking after myself is a bit shit, meaning because I've felt ill and rubbish I've hardly eaten anything.

    I think because of that, I'm feeling sick, whilst having a huge headache. I've got my window open so it's cold, but I don't know what food to eat, apparently milk is bad?

    I left work early on Thursday after an hour because I felt shit still, and have called in sick for tomorrow because in this state I've no chance of working.

    Should I go to my Uni doctor tomorrow and see what he says? Hopefully they're there, if not it's the drop-in one at the hospital :(

    Please help. I feel like I'm gonna die :(

  10. Too many girls too little time.... lifes hard for a player :P

    Hahaha. Truth :P

    Anyway, I dunno. I'm gonna be traveling around Europe this summer meaning that girls there are unlikely and if they are, a new gf won't know about them. Then the rest I'm at leeds for a couple of days which is fine, and I'm working so wouldn't mind a nice girl to snuggle up with in Sheffield!

  11. I hope this girl I went on a date with today actually likes me and wasn't joking about drinks next week.

    We got on pretty well. I didn't realise she was minted, has her own brand new 08 reg smart car and has parents that pay for everything. Bonus.

    She's gorgeous but I hope it works out. It'll be shit otherwise. Summer without a gf is pooooo

  12. could have a job in footwear at jd with my mates at the drop of a hat, im in a bit of debt so i think ill give it a try.

    anyone work in a similar sports shop etc?

    Sorry but JD sports should hardly be a full time job ambition!
