  1. Shit the bed even Eddie Jordan managed to come across as a witty and intelligent human being in that show when compared to Chris Evans. I wonder how balls deep the bbc have committed themselves?

    EU Referendum

    I'm gonna spoil again. As has been said previously - there is no plan, and no facts on either side of the argument to make me think this vote is anything other than a pure guess. I don't think the public should have been given the choice! We elect a bunch of idiots to deal with this sort of thing don't we? To make the best decisions on incredibly complex issues that "the common man" doesn't understand/give a f**k about? At work many people are voting out "because of the immigrants" as they think an out result would mean we just close the borders and shut up shop (As do Claire's parents! Lol), and that that's a good thing. The country is wasting millions of £££ on this referendum. All the shit being slapped about by both sides is just embarrassing. I cannot wait for it to be over.
  3. The extra gear show was the biggest let down. They had a chance for something genuinely interesting and fun about cars, but just failed miserably. The main show was a complete pile long ago, and having Chris Evans reading the voice overs like a kids tv presenter just made it excruciating.
  4. I'm listening on headphones, through my iPhone, from my icecast stream, whilst doing the dinner. It's awesome.

    I'm happy that rosbergs lead has been cut down quite a bit, but a bit gutted for ricciardo. Im not really a Hamilton fan (just so blessed) but I absolutely would hate for rosberg to take the wdc
  6. So yeah I'm happy. got fed up with my mums old classical vinyl just sitting around doing nothing, so bought a turntable off the bay, an old technics thing which seems decent enough quality (records aren't in the best shape now anyway). plugged it into a usb dac thingy and plugged that into the Mac and joy - Beethoven on loud. But hey the turntable can't stay next to the Mac (no space) or even next to the amp (even less space). So had a quick google - found that I could use the trusty old rpi to grab the audio, encode to MP3 at a decent bitrate and broadcast the stream. After a sd card failure and some head scratching, followed by a new power supply and a little more fiddling, the stream is working! added the stream to iTunes and boom! Beethoven can be streamed via AirPlay to all rooms in the house. A totally over the top and inappropriate way to play vinyl but it keeps the house neat and tidy. I am really enjoying playing them although they all need cleaning, so if anyone has any advice on a cheap and easy clean method that would be great.
  7. just saw John Cleese totally selling out one of the greatest comedy moments in uk TV history to specsavers. life is just so dumbed down and commercial.

    Didn't see the podium, but vettel got totally rammed at the start (twice) and taken out. Most sweary radio call ever... Didnt help that it was kvyatt again - so Seb went and had a moan to Horner about it.

    Is it just me or does it look like they cheated on the ballistic test? There seems to be additional supports on the front that take a fair amount of the load?
  10. I made water come out of the bathroom ceiling. (Intentionally) All the plumbing for water is done in the new bathroom - I'm at least a week behind schedule and I'm absolutely shattered, but feeling slightly more confident about it actually coming together in the next two weeks.

    Everytime you did the 90 gap I was disappointed you didn't roll along the rail first was pretty cool though as a video.

    Whatever happened to 20odd guys driving fast as f**k in carbon fibre go karts with v12 engines? I might just switch to MotoGP.
  13. Stud wall built around 1900 stud wall built around 1990.... f**king ass-clowns.
  14. Managed to get new bath into the house. Had to take off the front door, but still.... it also looks like it might even fit up the stairs and into the bathroom.

    Films!?

    Yeah I enjoyed it too - classic rocky film, although I still preferred the last rocky as far as modern rocky goes.
  17. Everything Ben did was doing it for me...

    I thought it was pretty good, but wished they hadn't gone for comedy so much. So many lines that were just for a cheap laugh. The originals had better control of that.
  19. Wait, so he used to think the world was round, but religion has convinced him against pretty much every law of physics that it's flat?
  20. There were a couple of lines that I thought "ah, that was cool" but apart from that I thought it was a terrible video.
