Dixons...

know as much about customer service as I do quantum physics..

Unless they were bought over by John Lewis?

But I may have to see if it's improved.. as they say, curiosity *may* have killed Schrödinger's cat

A quick google later.. I'd be more impressed if they had an iphone 5 testing it in the picture too....

Facepalm

I'm sure some of you will of heard this before...

"They say that video games influence our lives. If that were true, then if we were subjected to Pac-Man as children, we'd be sitting in dark rooms, eating magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music."

Time to the lower the tone...

Aye, posing for the pictures anyway.. if her website is anything to go by.. she's a bit of a looker!

Funnily, the 2 other exchanges that surround my town have access to FTTC, but they seem to skip my exchange everytime.. hell i'm still waiting for ADSL 2!

Chimpofdoom!

Funnily...

I work with a guy that believes the hype of this company..

So far he has bought 4 of their cables (more money than sense)..

To forwards this story onto him or not...

So..

"BT will retain a small research, development and satellite operations presence at Goonhilly"

Great! I guess this means Mars will get faster broadband (albeit with a slightly higher ping rate i'm sure) than I get at the moment....

Chimpofdoom!

Huh...

As compensation.. i demand fibre be installed into my area.. without the race to infinity!

Chimpofdoom!

Fail..

I was originally contemplating one of these back when they said it would be cheaper.. but for £200.. pass.

Chimpofdoom!

Failing all of that...

the budget might allow us to send the second ship out with a bunch of trebuchet's on the deck for defending the other carrier.... the army can throw spears..

Chimpofdoom!
Stop

meh...

Biggest problem with freeview/freeview HD is lack of decent content. It never really bothered me before, as I didn't really watch TV, but as the gf sticks any random rubbish on.. i thought it was worth shelling out for heavily discounted sky HD (know a member of staff and get a 1/2 price code!)

Chimpofdoom!
Unhappy

No thanks..

I would rather have a legal place to get DRM free TV series!

Don't get me wrong.. itunes is ok.. but the fact that I can't watch TV series that I paid for, on my xbox 360 is rather annoying.. stupid DRM

Chimpofdoom!
Unhappy

My Fail!

ok, FAIL post on my behalf!

Maybe.. just maybe..

the small meteorites are a sign of things to come and his house will be the epicentre...

You all remember Armageddon right?!

Now where's Bruce Willis?! We need him on stand by.

Chimpofdoom!

hmmm

indeed, seems they want to keep the city folks happy, instead of us folks in the sticks!

Chimpofdoom!

there's more...

One in Edinburgh too! Check out the 28 days later website for Edinburgh bunker

Chimpofdoom!

Ha!

I was at the "Secret bunker" in Fife on Sunday. Very interesting place, fairly cold (temperature stays at a constant 65 deg F (18.33 deg C), the heating system underground costs about £200 an hour to run.

There's also another bunker in Edinburgh on Costorphine hill, unfort. this one was burnt out when a bunch of yobs backed a truck down the tunnel, loaded tyres into the place and set it alight.. the fire burned for 6 days!

George...

Must be getting skint again... another lawsuit..

Chimpofdoom!
WTF?

If they don't want 'em...

Jobs Halo

Hmmm

Am I the only person who hasn't had a problem?

Chimpofdoom!
Thumb Down

Hmmm

It's a nice shiny tiny box that would be great as an HTPC running Plex.. but too costly, considering I paid the same for my imac last year!

I wonder...

If it could be jail broken?!

The biggest problem...

With BMI is the inability to factor in muscle mass.

Muscle is 18% denser than fat, so if you are one of those, loves the gym everyday guy rippling with muscle and your Ideal (BMI) weight is 12 stone something, yet you weight 14 stone.. your still classed as Obese..

They should scrap BMI.. even as a rough scale.. bring out the calipers!

It would of been great had be been in the sequel to the latest revival of the Star Trek franchise. But I guess we all need to retire at some point!

Bit of an old set....

I Own the 42LH5000... needless to say avoid it, go for the 42LH3000, as it's a superior model (yes I know, older model, better than the newer one). Plus Currys have an exclusivity on the 42LH5000 and their returns/repair/"tech guys" service is terrible... (TV has been away for "repair" for 8 days and counting... 3 weeks to go and I claim a new one).

Seems...

A bit like the videogame fallout...

I'll give him a fiver for a bunker in 2014.. you know used and all that...

Welcome

Seriously...

Forget the over bloated market that is America.. Britain is the new land of opportunity!

Bring your high speed internets here... where do I sign my soul away for some 1Gbps broadband...

I for one welcome our google overlords and their nexus phone..

Launch tubes like they have on BSG...

Frakkin' toasters will follow...

Line dancing..

Now all Microsoft need to do is hire a bunch of former cheerleaders or hooters waitresses, dress them in tight tops and hot pants, get them to dance..

and windows 7/microsoft stores will be a raging sucess..

I made it to 40 seconds...
