  3. is off to see the new Star Wars film - Woohoo!

  4. is off to see Jimmy Carr at the ICC in Birmingham - Not really my cup of tea, but...well...I've been told I'll enjoy it

  5. was a bit bored today so took the rig to pieces and cleaned everything in nice, soapy water (ok, maybe not quite), installed it all back in a new case with new fans, cables & LEDs so I can see where to plug things in, re-worked my standard build iso to include a few exra programs and reinstalled the lot - takes about 30 minutes now. I'll get the controllers sorted in due course - but it's been a nice day.

      I just put mine in the dish washer and now I'm trying for the guinness record for hugest paperweight ;)

      Brando - did you forget to pull the BIOS battery first?

  6. So I was in the attic earlier looking for my rucksack. Didn't find it before finding a large colony of bees who've set up home in my roof. Needless to say I exited the attic with alacrity and no rucksack.

      Sure they're bees? Wasps are more likely to swarm in attics - and you need to get them removed if they are wasps.

      Definitely bees

      It's funny that I just saw this. A local guy just got killed by a swarm of bees while doing an attic cleanout and his partner got put in the hospital. Retreat was most assuredly the best option, discretion being the better part of valor and all......

  7. Has a new computer chair £125 reduced to £50 - happy days!

  8. watched 'American Hustle' last night at the pictures. Good film, recommended.

  9. is waiting for the BOS d/l link....Aargh

      ok, so they had me fooled.

  18. will be offline for a short while practising my PC rebuild technique. No problems, just time for a declag of the innards and a fresh win 7 install. Gives me a chance to sanity check the build disk I've put together for Painless too..

  19. is masking up the Seafire for final uppersurface paintwork.

  20. Ouch - Stuck a screwdriver in the end of my left index finger today - That only leaves me one to type with...
