	Superglue. It'll sting like a motherf**ker so just get it on as quick as possible and grit your teeth. It'll dry hard, won't peel off and will stick the skin back down if it's loose. After ten minutes it won't hurt at all and you'll be riding fine.

	Phone primary use fail.

	Then you'll need a power supply. House electric runs on AC current and the sub runs on DC current so you need an in-between. A lot of people use a pc power supply as they're cheap and readily available. What you need to do is bridge two connectors on the power supply to trick it into thinking the motherboard it's supposedly attached to is giving it the "power on" command. You'll also need to get a power supply of a decent wattage and with a high amount of amps on the 12v rail. 28-30amps should be enough. EDIT: Even this little'un managed it.

	It depends entirely on the part and you have to look at each case individually. If the part is generally reliable i won't have an issue with it. Carbon RB lever, onza carbon bars. Bought those second hand without thinking. It helps to look at the member, check out their videos see what level they're at. If they're competent but don't go big the part should be fine. If they're new it might have been dropped about a bit so get detailed pictures before handing over any cash as carbon is significantly weaker when the fibres are damaged. Deep scratches or chips are a no, no. If the person is a great rider and goes huge then there's obviously a higher chance that they won't last as long before failing. Just use some common sense. Every second hand part is more likely to fail early, but if you're careful it should last a decent while before it does.

	It was genuinely an accident, had gloves on and thought the nozzle was pointing forwards, in fact it went right and straight at his disc.

	No, it's not.

	You'd have to be an idiot to buy one of those when just over a fiver more will get you one of these. If you're wanting uncompromising stopping power though, this will beat any avid, hayes, hope (so long as it's not a mono trial) on power.

	At high school the door was left open for the storage cabinet for the school canteen. The dinner que went past the entrance way to the door so i got a couple of mates to stand in front of the doorway to block the view and filled up my schoolbag with an unopened multibox of yorkie bars and snickers (like 25 bars of each) and whatever else i could fit in there in a minute. We ended up selling the chocolate bars and making like £30 between us. Never told anyone where we got them from. I also accidentally sprayed copper grease on my old friends disc brake literally the day after he bought new rotor and pads. Thought i'd cleaned it all off but he went out on it the next day and compplained it kept slipping and he nearly got hurt because of it. Lesson learnt there.

	Haha, yeh. the pet shop scene and the coffee shop scene pretty much made the movie for me. "This drink, i like it... *Throws coffee cup on the floor* ANOTHER!" Genius.

	And why you say that?
 - 
	I'm 6'5" so it's not toooo bad. But they are annoying, especially when i have to shell out for new controllers Haha, spongehand squareboats.

	Clearly not that big My hand span is 27 cm

	But you don't need a reference to the other stick as they work independently of each other. Surely if what you said were true nobody on an xbox would be able to aim while strafing. It just clearly isn't true. There is no accurate and up to date information on uk sales floating about. We aren't a big player in the gaming world. PS controllers are designed for smaller japanese hands, xbox ones for larger western hands. That's just the way it is.

	I'm sorry but that's just a load of rubbish. You do better because that's what you're used to, it's not to do with stick placement allowing "better co-ordination". If the 360 was the first console that "went big", then howcome ps1 sales are higher and ps2 sales are still three times as many? The ps2 that uses the same dual shock controller as the ps3, and that used the same dual shock controller as was released on the original playstation in 1997? The Dual shock controller has been around for almost 14 years. The original xbox has only been out for 10 years. So 4 years longer and over twice as many sales.

	I could understand that if it actually worked like that. I can't think of a single game where the sticks have to be moved in the same way at the same time. There's only really shooters that use both sticks simultaniously and they perform different actions, so stick placement isn't really an issue after a little time to adjust to it. Besides, i never complained about the layout, only the size. Anyways, looks like i'm not the only one with this problem and there seems to be plenty of aftermarket ones that i may have a bash with. Amazon seem to have plenty. May end up just trying these first. Other people said it made it feel a lot chunkier so could be just what i'm after. How about this then? My link

	I bought my ps3 pretty much solely for the blu ray player. I've only used it for blurays a handful of times but it's really had it's worth from MGS4, uncharted 1&2 and resistance games. I got infamous with the welcome back package so i'll be looking to finish that sometime soon. Mines really quiet, until i switch it off. Then it cracks and snaps as the case cools down again. Nah, the handle bits aren't long enough. My thumbs are constantly at a steep angle to stay on the sticks and i end up with thumbache after a few weeks of use. I need a grip extender or something. The dual shock fitted me fine as a kid, but it hasn't really changed since then and unfortunately my hands have

	My sub starts making a noise at around 23 seconds in. Although i have no idea how good his camera is at recording low level sounds.

	That amplifier looks like it'll do the job nicely and those speakers are a little old but if in good condition will still sound pretty good. Only issues i can see are that your sub has no dedicated subwoofer pre-out channel. This means you will need an active (active subs have their own amplifier built in) subwoofer that can take a feed from the speaker cables. I'm also unsure if you can set a crossover point or a low level filter to your main speakers with that amp which means the speakers may distort a little if pushed really loud. If it has a filter you should set it to 100hz or maybe even 120hz so you can get the best out of the B&W's. I really do recommend the BK electronics subs as they are the best subs for the money. The amp plates on the subwoofers will hook up to your system easily as well. All you do is use the spupplied neutrik speakon cable to plug the sub into the left and right speaker terminals on your denon amp. The gemini is a cracking little sub and outperforms subs from other manufacturers that cost significantly more. Though if you were willing to pay the extra the XLS200 gives you the advantages of being more powerful and using a peerless xls10 driver. That said, both BK subs would blow equivalent priced units completely out of the water. You'd need to start looking at this page before you matched them and page 5 before you could out perform them. Considering the gemeini is just over £200 that's quite a difference.

	To be fair, it does run off a battery and needs charging. If anything it's slightly worse as if the xbox recharegable pack goes flat you can stick some AA's in and keep going without a cable. I do prefer my xbox controller for size though as i have quite large hands so it sits a little nicer. Though i'm sure there's a thrid party ps3 controller somewhere that is aimed at bigger hands. In fact, i may actually look into that today.

	I fell asleep watching it, which was no reflection on the film. I was just mega tired. Gonna retry it this morning and then this afternoon i'll be onto either hanna, trollhunters, xmen first class or the new bluray releases of starwars IV-VI. Damn choices

	Ah, a fellow combatant. Add me to live and we can have a battle at some point. Krisboats2

	Most likely. To be honest it's not really an issue nowadays as image abuse rarely happens and internet bandwidth has increased a lot over the years. It's somewhat of an archaic mentality from the days of dial up.
