Blu-ray ***! IMO halo 3 is just overhyped anyway its just halo 1 and 2 but with better graphics, i dont see what all the fuss is about PS3 for FFXIII and MGS4! You have to pay!? I didnt realise that...funny how thats not talked about much, no wonder the online experience is much better then on xbox if there making money on it to be able to make it better, its all free on the PS3 and for what you get its good enough for me, so is the xbox really the better option?...and yeh you could say but £40 in a year is nothing at all, yet its still an extra £40, and you can also download HD trailers and game demos etc on PS3. sooo debatable, i think the 360 controllers suck and are more annoying to use , whereas the ps3 ones have a much better ease of use

Well, went to the phones4u shop in town, told them what happened, they rung up there own customer service line they then sorted it out and told me that they will give me the £103 lol to cancel my contract, just shows how desperate they are to keep there customers i guess.

Yeh, some bits are quite funny, some bits are just quite poor really and i dont really get it , i suppose it shows how comedy has changed over the years

Hey, Basically i got out an 18month contract in August 2006 from Phones4u it was a samsung E900 phone, £35 a month contract bla bla bla, for the last week and a bit whilst at college ive been getting constant phone calls off them but ive been ignoring them as i can hardly answer them in my lesson + i couldnt be asking talking with them. Then on the tuesday just gone they rung my home phone and my mum answered and it was them basically saying my contract was now expiring and would i like to get another contract (at the time we couldnt remember when we got the contract out whilst on the phone with them so just assumed they had the correct information as you would do). So figuring my contract was running out and i need my phone, i said yeh ok ill get another one, so i answered all his questions about what contract i want, phone, tariff etc then asked him if i get this phone would i still be paying 2 contracts at once, as my current phone wont run out yet, he then said that i would get sent information (which i havent) with the new phone on how to cancel my current contract so i wouldnt be paying for that one aswell. So i thought, ok sounds fine, ill get that then, so i got the phone yesterday, I then ring up Orange who i had my contract with to cancel it to find out it doesnt finish till February 2008!? and that if i wanted to cancel it id have to pay the fee of £103!!?, so now i have a new phone contract and my old phone contract where im paying £35 a month or pay £103 to to cancel it. And to add extra insult they had me down as a 'Mrs Bond' on all the documentation i received. So anyway, im going into my phones4u shop tomorrow as ive tried ringing up the helpline which is having 'too many calls at the moment' and to try again in 48 hours. I'm assuming i can just give this new phone back as its them that have messed everything up and giving me false information about my previous contract. Just wondered if any of you have had trouble with Phones4u or have had anything like this happen? ta.

Another question,have you played the file? does it actually work as ive converted to mp4 before and it comes up with an error saying the file isnt a recognised file and doesnt work in QT, which is why it wont load in itunes, thats the only thing i can think of why it wont work and you will need to re-convert the file. Got to go to work now so cant really help that much, good luck!

Does an error come up, if so whats the error, or does it just not do anything when you try to import it? If youve got both the .VOB and .MP4 file under the same name, make sure it is the .mp4 file you are trying to import, silly mistake but can be done

Theres a difference between someone having 'stole something in there life no matter how trivial' to having a "reputation" of doing it. IMO the thread itself is sounding more like a cover where people use the "oh yeh i know a friend that did so and so" yet they really mean themselves. Otherwise why would he be going to these great lengths of 'buying another wii' or shitting himself about the police when he's done bugger all wrong If he's going to be a pikey then thats up to him, he knows what he and his mates do is wrong, so if he gets in trouble then thats usually what happens when you do that kinda thing and get caught

Get a job you bum, what a pikey As for the situation if you didnt do it, whats the fuss? You dont have to say who stole it either, as for saying youre on bail, do you mean that someone came and paid for you to get out or youve just been released without charge for now.

Nice ipod, cant believe how tiny they are its crazy! I bought the new ipod touch 16gb a couple of weeks ago and im really happy with it, love the big screen for videos and the internet capability is really nice as you get to walk along using up peoples internet connections. The ipod just runs really smoothly and ive had no problems with it so far. The only downside is the price and back of the ipod, it scratches like a bitch, whilst the front wont scratch at all, unless you purposely rub it hard down a razor blade, i havent used a case for it at all and have just had it in my pocket and its fine apart from the back. Sorry about the rubbish quality of the pictures, i just picked up a really old camera weve got. Back scracthes (looks worse than it is in that light) Cover flow As for converting videos, as said already handbrake for macs and Videora or IMToo dvd converter for PC

I wouldnt say "achieve" as my parents have done alright for themselves in that respect, but i suppose i am the first to do so academically anyway, im the first member to go to college, and thinking about uni, therefore not only do i have my own standards to try and mean by doing well in college, ive also got what my parents want me to achieve which is kind of annoying as you dont really want to let people down. To be honest just keep trying new things out, i left school and went and did a national diploma in something, but it wasnt the right course for me, so i left there and went to do my AS levels last year instead and nnow i think ive found the right thing for me as im enjoying it much more than the other college. So if youre finding this isnt the right choice for you,then go and see what other opportunities there are out there for you and see which ones look appealing to yourself.

I was just using the skinny thing as an example, its just a thing where if people looked at a big kinda guy that was carrying a bit of fat, he wouldnt be classed as 'toned', yet the skinny guy would be as his muscle has more definition. I think that increasing the size of the muscle does help show muscle definition easier, but the definition (firmness,shape) of the muscle doesnt matter how big it is, if theres not alot of fat around it, its likely to be pretty firm due to lack of water retained and fat around the muscles and its shape will be more detailed also.

But toning is the definition/shape of a muscle, you can only increase a muscle in size or decrease its size, you cant change the firmness or shape of it. Definition (tone) of a muscle is just how it looks depending on the amount of fat around it, which is why people say skinny people are toned buts thats only because they have very little fat, which is why there muscles show up.

As has already been said, do you want to increase your cardiovascular fitness or lose weight or gain muscle? Another good type of exercise that i dont think has been mentioned which is nice to do is plyometrics which is basically the lengthening of muscles before contraction, which are good for training explosive power and really tiring aswell. Alot of the exercises can also be done with your own body weight. So google that if you want! As for the whole abdominal thing, the main misconception of people is that they think they dont have a six-pack yet of course we all do, its just the fact a majority of us will have that annoying layer of fat covering it up. Oh and another thing that people also dont realise is that on the internet or on adverts etc you may see "muscle toning exercises etc", there is no such thing as muscle toning exercising, the only way to 'tone' or 'define' a muscle is by losing the fat from around it. The main reason for protein is the repair and growth of muscles, you would only need that much protein if your body needed it due to you doing enough exercise to cause enough tears in the muscle fibres from using weights that need repairing. If you decide to do free weights, then the best option would be to simply buy a barbell with some weights, and do the 3 main compound exercises that work most you muscles together which would be the deadlift (back), squat (legs) , and bench press (upper body/chest), find a weight you can only do around 10 reps with and do 3-4 sets with them. When you feel the weight getting easier always whack it up a bit more to keep the muscles working so they dont just stop needing to grow as theyve adapted to the weight. Then you can also do lots of abdominal exercises aswell to strengthen your abs if you dont like sit-ups then they arent the only good ab exercise, theres loads of them out there and do push-ups, tricep dips etc aswell. If you buy some dumbbells then the list of exercises are endless, best ones ive found are DB flyes (pecs), chest press (pecs), shoulder press (delts), lateral raises (delts), loads of bicep exercises, overhead tricep extension, bent over tricep extension, bent over row (lats), shoulder shrug (trapezius) just a few examples for upper body and part of the back. You want to be doing some cardiovascular workouts for atleast 30mins, yet at a low intensity as your body should be accessing your fat stores by then, you want to be working at around 60% of your maximum heart rate (estimated max HR is 220 minus your age). Do that for around 3 times a week and you should see improvements. Yet all this would simply be in vain of course without a good diet which is a big problem with excercise as i'd say a good diet constitutes to a large percentage of how well your gains will be, theres no point doing the cardio workout if you are still consuming more calories than your losing as you will still be gaining weight. Should be eating 4-6 decent small meals a day, if you want to lose fat then obviously you want to cut down on the carbs aswell. Hope that kinda helps!?

good good, just checking Fair enough then..not much else to say , atleast you can clear your name at being a scammer anyway!

Can you not spell? As for people saying "hit him" didnt only one person say it and it was a joke anyway? No need for the 'hard man' attitude Atleast you replied though, ashame it took a crazy amount of time. Atleast he will get his money back.

Just do it to ruin there delivery service then, it should go through on your credit/debit cards as 10p each as it says you are charged full instore price upon 'delivery' not on the website itself, therefore if they charge you on the door, which they shouldnt anyway as im sure they dont handle money, just say you want a refund as thats not the price they showed which is false advertising, and say you didnt realise it was a mistake as im sure theres no law for common sense (thinking into this thing a bit too much now lol, amusing though)

+111 bah! although i dont drink lager anyway, but for 10p i wouldnt complain, awesome find! i hope they have to sell them!

Try downloading via torrents (of course thats illegal though) a .flv converter (or try search for a free one on google), im sure theres plenty out there, trouble with using one off google searches is they are likely to be free trial versions and therefore either have a watermark on the video or will only convert a certain amount of a file. Other than converting it to a recognised format i cant think of much else.

I dont really think it has much at all to do with Tartybikes, as its Damon himself that is down to what is happening, Tartybikes just happens to be associated with him, although its good to see that they've actually responded and shown interest in the thread and whats going on unlike the Damon himself... As for him having sent the stuff twice, like someone said you wouldve thought that, if it got 'lost' the first time, then he would send it recorded the second time to prevent it happening again, like it just allegedly happened to do so

Sorry but thats a big load of bollocks youre talking. How the hell can you say the rugby team suck lmfao!? They got to the 'final' of this world cup, and won the last world cup. The players dont choose to become celebrities, the media makes them celebrities and if it wasnt for the celebrities then rugby would still be an even more underrated and less well known sport. Also the only real english rugby player that made the biggest effect is Wilkinson because he scored a very important point in the last world cup. As for saying they arent there to win thats just stupid.

Got an idea but it will prob take a few mins to get and do, basically download something called 'orbitdownloader' (google it), follow the instructions on how to download the .FLV file (which is the video itself and file it downloads it as) from the website that has the video, then get a .FLV player to play the file, or find a converter to convert the .FLV to .whatever file.

Think it was Nakajima who hit the guy, was pretty harsh lol Oh and did anyone see the news on bbc just then http://uk.reuters.com/article/UK_MOTORSPOR...B41269720071021 I doubt they would get disqualified over whatever theyve done, but still interesting if its true

No We got the penalty as we already had an advantage being played i think, therefore he went back to the penalty.

Well all i can say is we did better than the footballers will ever do in their world cups That was blatently a try as well by Cueto but oh well, we played alright first half and second half let us down more
