  1. oh and what exactly are top up fees? ive heard a few things about them like wales students not having to pay them this year but what are they, how much £?

    I think at both Brunel and Lbrough you'd pay £12,000 extra in top ups over the 4 years :) No way around them, starting next year unfortunately.

  2. Totally agree. I read loads of reviews saying that videora often converts files without working sound (mine didnt even work when I first got it, but then suddenly magically started working a dream), and itunes is slower but more reliable, however I have found it to be the other way round. Now my ipod is packed with all the best trials vids lol

    :huh:

    ... Totally disagree?!

  3. Lots of people dialed 911 haha Im so stupid

    911, the total IQ of the white house staff?

    the length of the plane was 293432411503456745678mm.

    There are supposedly 1.2 hundred terrorists in the world. 1.2 = 11 divided by 9 :o

    Wait a sec.. what do I see here, that has... 11 letters! OMFG :o

    most people aged 10 are between 9 and 11

    the plane took off 829921 meters from where it crashed, 829921 divided by 911 = 911, which is the emergency number and is also 911x911 = 829921 and if you devide it by 18.653 is the same number as the people who dialed 911 :blink: freaky or what?

    haha, those are class :lol: We should do a rippoff of that chain mail, see if it catches on :P

  4. Still leaving you with some money, because it takes the banks near enough a century to sort out getting you your money back and in some cases dont even bother.

    If it was a debit card.. you'd have been left with nowt.

    Takes a long f**king time but they always will cover you, provided it's there in the small print. I set the same limit on both my debit and credit (£1500) simply incase either was stolen.

    Credit cards are fine if you have self control. Never had any problems with them. :)

    In regards to someone stealing and using your debit untill the account was empty before you noticed, banks have got pretty complex software in place to stop that, Once I withdrew my limit for 2 days running from 2 different cashpoints and my card was auto-frozen and the bank rang my house to ask to check if it was me using the card. Because it went against my normal 'spending trend'.

  5. Forearms on leg day is correct, forearms are a small and fast recovering muscle. They can happily be worked 3+ times a week, same as calfs.

    Doing upper body work will more than work your forarms, hardly any pro's will do any specific exercise for forarms, every exercise involving gripping and moving indirectly hits them.

    On leg day they remain unworked, so logically to reach the best potential you add forearms to your leg day.

  6. Happy new year all (Y)

    First new year I've not really done anything, but I'm a bit jet lagged and my phone broke a couple of days ago so i had no ones number to call and find out where people where <_< hehe, thats life :P I get to start 2006 by replacing my already perfectly fine phone :rolleyes:

    Simon, I can kinda see why your mum would be anoyed, it's just kinda rude to not at least reply, it's not like it costs you anything to be cheerful to other people once in a while... If I wished someone happy xmas, or birthday or something and they just replied yeah and turned their back on me I'd think they were being kinda an asshole lol. I'm not really having a go just... well... yeah....

  7. I find talking in detail about your porn collection is a good starting point (Y)

    (or more realistically, just avoid talking about the weather, go with the flow, and if there are any arquard scilences just keep asking more and more questions about her... girls like that :P )

  8. Considering that bike (the Dodge Tomahawk) has a top speed of 360 mph or something utterly insane, and a faster 0-60 than the bugatti.. oh and a bigger engine than the veyron (8.3 letre), i'd say it'd leave the veyron standing lol

  9. Points taken,

    but the point i was trying to make more than comparison was that i wouldn't exactly group it with concorde, and the spaceship like clarkson did... they ARE unique and feats of engineering, the veyron, at the end of the day is just a nice car.

  10. Why is everyone even comapring it to an f1 car.

    Since when where they road legal :huh:

    You can never own, nor drive an F1 car

    You can never own, nor drive a Veyron

    Therefor, I think it's a fair comparison. F1 cars aren't actually that far off being road legal btw, all you'd need to change would be the exhaust system, and the tyres and it'd be able to be road legal ;)

  11. i think the bugatti has abit more power than the F1 boys,

    gaz...

    not really, F1 cars push around the same horsepower as the veyron, the 2005 honda bar F1 pushes 940bhp (19,000 RPM) yet is only 3 letres, and weighs just 1300lb, compared to the veyron at 1000 horsepower (6,000 RPM), 8 letre, and 3520lb...

    It's true that an F1 car couldn't beat the veyron on a straight drag, but it would own it on a track, with far less than half the engine size...

    I think clarkson really over-hyped the veyron, after all F1 cars push almost the same power out much more advanced engines - true they only have to last a race, not years... but i don't belive the veyron is the 'height' of what cars will produce. I've seen guys who have build their own W16 engines in novas and gotten stupid 2.9 second 0-60 times and stuff, in their own garage at home.

    Plus Ferrari spent something like £24 million on producing their two F1 track cars in 2005, in reality it's all penuts to these companies, it's not even real money it's all just ballanced off acounts and shares and stocks and the bank.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a damn special car... but not what top gear made it out to be. I've read reviews that slate it on track performance, simply because it can't use it's power effectively, it just is too heavy and powerfull to truely be able to take corners...

    Looks the sex though :lol:
