  1. Basically heading up a legal/contracts department at a small company with aggressive growth plans in a very niche area of the oil industry, establishing real process and procedures that will really affect the way the company does business.

     

    Moving into a purpose-built and employee-friendly facility in March (including a 'chill out' area and mountain bikes for staff use. Very "Google".) Seems the perfect company to get in with now (headcount is only sixty at the moment) in the hope that as the company grows so will my level of seniority within it.

     

    Quite exciting, really!

     

    Geez a job....

  2. I wasn't going to buy GTA5, mostly due to the reasons others have mentioned in this thread (maps too large etc) but, given the reviews, i get the impression it's revolutionary. I will thus be buying it and no doubt throwing the next 6 months of my life away. Ho hum.

     

    Where's the best place, price-wise, folks have got a copy from?

  3. forgot to post this

     

     

    went to lincoln with my pal so he could pick up this

     

    Mr2 turbo approx 420bhp , stage 2 turbo, stage 2 intercooler, toyo r888 semi slicks

    I've recently decided that an MR2 turbo will be my next purchase once i manage to finish and shift my MG Midget. I used to have the mk2 2.0 GT (non-turbo) and, whilst it was hardly the fastest car on the road, the driving position and styling of it gave me an automotive chubby. 

     

    HateEvent - i'll be sure you pick your brains on Jap car performance mods as im a bit of a novice in this field. If i get a stock car then the first thing i'll do is enhance the breathing (induction kit and better exhaust system) and then maybe look to get the head gas ported. My brother had a turbo a while ago and the big-end bearing went. It looks as though this is a common problem so i might fortify this area as well. Maybe a bigger intercooler and some electronic gadgets would be in order?

  4. If he's already paying for Sky then it's an added bonus isn't it?

     

    If I wanted Netflix i'd have to pay for that on top of Sky, Anytime+ is available to me at no extra cost on top of what i'm already paying.

    Exactly this. Sky anytime+ is an added bonus over what i was receiving with my non-HD box. To me it feels free.

     

     

    Im pretty happy with the price and package i get for BT vision, get access to most channels id want, and sports, the on demand part can be ok some months and poor the next depending on what they release, but the box office part is decent, has basically all new releases when they come out. 

     

    How is the image quality with BT Vision? I had it about 5 years ago and though the online archives were great; the only problem was that i could never get a decent enough picture (maybe it was my poor broadband speed) and then the box packed in after a year.

  5. I've just managed to get Sky anytime+ on the go last night and it would appear to be pretty average. The box set collection is weak compared with Netflix but on the other hand it's free so im minded to have both of them for a couple of months and then maybe axe Netflix as per Teabags' advice. Who know choosing my home entertainment package would cause such stress??

  6. Pretty much this, i've watched most things i would want to watch on Netflix and havent found anything new in a long time now, prob gonna cancel it soon. 

     

    That's my only concern i guess. There seems to be a heap of stuff on Netflix but if they're not updating content frequently then it might become redundant. There are only so many Louis Theroux Weird Weekends you can watch after all...

  7. I've gone for Netflix in the end and spent my entire weekend watching Californication - a wonderful series with plenty of boobies to look at. Next step is to get myself a proxy for the US shows, it'll help when im travelling as well, if i have to spend one more evening in an Italian hotel room with no english speaking tv i'll breakdown.

  8. what about a "you're a dick, no min you're a dick, min" forum?

    srysly.

    I used to love starting a fight on here, nae so much now- can't be arsed. I think it's an age thing. like most of the regular posters on here this site have become old. nuff said. 

    I only come here to update the sidca thread and look at gear for sale. that's about it. the chat is whack. If I wanted whack chat I'd turn off CSI and ask my wife about whether the Foo Fighters were betterer than the Jesus Lizard. 

     

    how come that Gordon Duffy thread ran and ran- it was a bit shit-and likewise shutterspeed- thought that shoulda been closed early.

     

    but aye,

    carry on.

     

    I do hope you're not suggesting there was anything wrong with the GD thread? Can't a man heap praise on his dream artist on a public forum anymore??

  9. Well im going on two weeks with no accidents in the house for Izzy, pretty proud of my pup for it, she has picked up house training really easily, not even 5 months old yet! She has picked up an annoying habbit of barking at dogs if she see's them, she is not aggressive in anyway, she stands there yelping at them until she realises there is nothing to worry about, then she tries to play with them. Seem to hate black dogs for some reason, big dogs the same colour are no problem, big black dogs just seem to be a no go for her. 

     

    Racist!!
