James Broonbreed Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I think I already know the answer to this, but is it at all possible to get the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-Ray but completely not Lucas'd? Or DVD for that matter. Edited October 24, 2015 by James Broonbreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Cheers. Fuck it, I got a good download of the original cuts. Technically it's not theft if that Lucas cunt won't let you buy it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 "It's not theft if the thing you steal isn't for sale." - James Broonbreed. I like that philosophy. I think I might make a meme and attribute the quote to John Oliver or Gandhi. xx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Comments on footballers' Instagram posts are the best. Totally. I love it when Instagrammers give professional footballers advice on how to be a better footballer. Here's a copy and paste from a comment left on Matteo Darmian's IG: "Rembr to work hard off ball. You defend good but can attack better. Watch Rafa video to see how wing back play. Mata will be mad at you if you don't help. Improve your passing and skills" I wish footballers would leave trolling responses. "Thanks kiddo. Staying behind after training to work on my passes today. I'll work on the skills tomorrow. Love from Matty D xo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 What are registration fees of disposition, regarding property purchases? I thought it was just solicitor fees and stamp duty/LBTT that you had to pay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) What are registration fees of disposition, regarding property purchases? I thought it was just solicitor fees and stamp duty/LBTT that you had to pay.... It's the fee associated with registering your ownership of the property with the Land Registry of Scotland. There's a calculator here for you to check the cost - it's linked to the value of the property: https://www.ros.gov.uk/services/fees/registration-fees-calculator Edited November 5, 2015 by Adam Easy Wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't recall paying for that before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Does anyone know of anyway to get inside the abandoned Pizza Hut on Union Street? (except letting or buying it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Does anyone use a Kindle/tablet/ereader to read comics? My collection of books and comics is getting out of hand, and I am considering downsizing and going electronic. It seems any tablet is capable of displaying books, but I want to make sure I get one that is suitable for comics too. I've never used anything of the sort, so I don't know where to start. Does the type of tablet/ereader dictate where I can buy books/comics from, or is the format universal? Like, can you buy kindle books on Amazon and use them on another device? If you get a Nook, can you only read things from the Nook store? Is there any sort of P2P filesharing for such files? If so, that is disgusting, and I'd appreciate all the information you have on such heinous acts so I can report it to the authorities. Lastly, is this any good?http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nook-9-inch-Processor-internal-storage/dp/B00AKC2NLM/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1451321747&sr=8-18&keywords=e-reader If not, what is good? Budget would be about £80-£100. Not bothered about games, camera, or sound/video playback. It would just be for reading. This was far from a quick question. It is loads of questions.

James Broonbreed Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I've only ever used an iPad Air as an ereader, as I won it in a raffle. I'd imagine it's at to top end of the spectrum price wise but it does the job rather splendidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Ipad to read comics is amazing. Can't recommend it enough.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Probably very far out of my price range. Not really interested in what a tablet can do other than for books and comics, so an iPad is probably a bit excessive for my needs. Stroop, what platform are you using to read comics? I was looking at Comixology and possibly the Marvel Unlimited subscription. Have you used either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the standard for comics is CBR or CBZ, most players will be able to read it I reckon. And yeah it is transferable. I use Comic Flow on iPad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Any tablet should work really. I bought a cheap Chinese one and it did the job fine. I use Perfect Viewer for downloaded stuff, never tried the likes of comixology but a few friends swear by it! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah I'm using Perfect Viewer for cbz/cbr files now. Does the job, though the menus are a bit clunky. I tried using Astonishing Comic Reader, which looked great, but is super buggy and just seems to pick and choose which pages it will load, if any. Shame, as it had a much better function for collecting Comics together and looks super slick. It syncs with dropbox, google drive, one drive etc. Annoying.

James Broonbreed Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you buy a property and something which is not specifically covered in the home report is not right e.g. My boiler is losing pressure regularly, what's the score?

IIRC, you have about a week post-purchase to bring any issues with a boiler up with the seller, after which you're basically screwed.

Lemonade Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Has anyone ever bought electronics from banggood.com? Are they terrible? I've actually heard decent reports but I bought a cheap as chips tablet from Hong Kong off eBay a few years ago and it was unusable so I'm wary.

Perhaps as long as a month. There will be a lawyer type person that can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
