  1. We managed to programme ours so that it would come land on your hand of you raised your hand a certain way. My grandad also taught one of them to swear lol.

    One time, my grandads friend came into the room and it went "there's a cunt" :up:

  2. I'm pretty sure the writers made Jack say that, to throw doubt amongst the fans until it returns. It'll probably turn out that Jack was just wasted and talking bollocks.

  3. Im pretty sure 7p is in-store. But we do special offers all the time so it's totally worth signing up to. I used it at xmas time to make a calender gift and it was great. i did get staff discount like, but still. good quality.

    Dave is correct though, it's a good service. You should see the canvas prints we do now, MUCH better quality than when we introduced them 4 years ago.

  4. nice one. any news on new models from nikon?

    Not heard anything. The D40X was a bit of a surprise though. It's only a matter of time before they start introducing cameras with dust removal and or anti-shake in the sensors though.

  5. Ive had mine about a year now and love it. Used a D70 before and rarely use it now. Have bought a couple of SB-600s and have started messing around with the wireless flash.

    I've stuck my D70S on ebay today because I doubt I'll use it again. I have an SB600 flash but have yet to use it yet for anything. Hopefully I'll get some weddings on the go later this year though so I can use it for that.

  6. Nope, have no fucking clue what it is.

    TPBM wasnt thinking about having a chug at work, but then all of a sudden read this thread, and has an urge to go have a chug.

    True, it's going to be massive.

    TPBM knows what that massive wooden constuction at the Castlegate actually is!

  7. Someone told me that it's a 'royal duty' to serve in the army to some degree. Is this true or complete bollocks?

    I personally think he should be treated like every other troop. I mean, what did he expect to happen? "Hey, better not attack those chaps over there, I hear Prince Harry is amongst them"

  8. The last episode was amazing.

    Had a tear in my eye for everyone one of his moments.

    Wise up, you pussy! ;):p

    For anyone interested, here's an apparent spoiler for the season finale. I for one, hope it's not true:

    Episode 322 FINALE "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS"

    The finale is full of action, a few deaths -- and that huge twist I mentioned earlier.

    First, the deaths. A bunch of Others get killed when they try to raid the camp. This includes Friendly, who Sawyer shoots in cold blood -- and also the other new tough guy Other (I think his name is Price) who gets run over by Hurley in the van.

    And Charlie FINALLY dies. Thank god. I've always thought he was one of the weaker characters and his death has been threated in so many episodes its about time it finally happened. He unblocks the jamming signal in the underwater station but drowns when Mikhail uses a grenade to blow it up, killing them both. It's a cool death for Charlie. Maybe cooler than he deserves.

    Another big moment is when an old favorite of the show returns. Locke is just about to kill himself in the Dharma grave pit that he fell into after Ben shot him when he hears a voice telling him not to. He looks up to see...WALT!! Walt helps him out of the pit and then disappears. No sign of Michael, and there's no explanation about where Walt has been or what happened to him or Michael.

    Locke then makes it to the Radio Tower -- and gets there in time to kill Naomi just before she makes the rescue call. He throws a knife straight into her back. Jack can't understand what Locke is doing and tells him that he'll have to shoot him to stop him from making the call himself. Locke threatens to kill Jack, but then backs down.

    Jack makes the rescue call -- and someone on the other end answers. The story on the island ends with help on the way. Or maybe not. Ben has told Jack that Naomi and her people aren't who they say they are -- and just before he dies, Charlie sees a transmission in the underwater hatch from Desmond's Penny -- who, contrary to what Naomi has said, denies that she knows Naomi at all!!

    But the HUGE TWIST of the episode -- in fact, probably the huge twist of the entire series -- happens in the flashback. They start by showing that Jack is totally Smurfed up. He's popping pills and suicidal. The first flashback shows him about to kill himself by jumping off a bridge -- only a car accident nearby causes him to stop, and instead of killing himself he fins himself helping the accident victims.

    But he keeps spiraling. He sees his ex-wife at the hospital -- she's pregnant with another man's child. He goes to a funeral of a person that we never discover, but whoever it is, his (or her) death rocks Jack hard. He steals drugs from the hospital and is caught by the new doctor in charge.

    And all the time, he's constantly on the phone desperately trying to contact somebody. And the last scene shows us who...he goes to meet the mystery person, and it's the last person on earth we would think...it's KATE!

    And it's now that we realize that for the first time in Lost history, we haven't been watching a flashback. We've been watching a FLASH-FORWARD!

    Yep, that's right. THEY ACTUALLY SHOW THAT JACK AND KATE MAKE IT OFF THE ISLAND. For some reason, this has been the cause of Jack's spiral. He tells Kate they have to go back to the island. She refuses and drives away. The show finishes with Jack screaming "We have to go back!!"

    It's a bold move by the writer's no doubt, but I'm not sure if it will pay off entirely. It raises many other questions -- how did they get off the island, did anyone else get off the island, who stayed behind -- but on a show that has been all about our heroes trying to get back home, its kind of disappointing to know that Jack and Kate actually return to the mainland and that they could stay there if they want.
