Faster processor...probably dont need but not a bad price with sales.

[nicnicnic]

What do you need it for first of all? If it's just word processing/youtube etc you dont need to spend all that.
One of these perchance

The Sterling exchange rate is very bad atm.

Are any of the dual tablet/laptops any use? Or is it a case of jack of all trades master of none?

I'm between getting my laptop screen fixed, maybe just buying a new laptop, while half being interested in a tablet. Only need something for light research/interwebz.

Big tablet + keyboard dock seems most versatile.
Laptop seems too bulky when it's not needed for any particular purpose.

[MrsFlushdraw]

You set one target forever is it? So you try and lose fat but gain muscle? Exciting.


I wasn't sure what that was hotspur but I am disappointed that it is not what I thought it would be.

You can change your target once as far as I can remember. I did it before my wedding as I dropped 13lbs in the two weeks prior to the wedding and went way below my target.

Going to weigh in once a month encourages you to try and keep the weight off. I did great till I did pastry cheffing and put some back on! But I am back and trying to get back to where I was. I am not heavy or anything, just want to get back to a size that makes me happy.

[Tar.Aldarion]

I need to have a wedding.

[oleras]

Im in the same boat RE: a new laptop, is a SSD the way to go ? Current laptop is 17", 15.6 isnt much difference really i guess, just bring it closer to me

Is anything with an i3 in it going to be sufficient to browse and stream? 4GB ram minimum ? is more always better ?

[Iago]

As part of my continued clearout of the house I have an iPad 2 32GB Wifi & 3G (unlocked) for sale. Perfect condition, and comes with a Logic3 leather case (which is a little frayed to be fair) and a bluetooth keyboard (Logictech) charge cable and plug. Looking for €250 for the lot for a friendly hassle free sale

I also have
a couple of old laptops
a DELL netbook
an XBOX 360 with a few games & a wireless adapter and two wireless controllers
a Nexus 7
a black glass and chrome living room table set (2 of) and a matching drinks/hallway cabinet
two double beds
a chest of drawers
two bedside drawer lockers
a budweiser mini-fridge
a black rug, a cream rug, a brown rug and a silver rug
a selection of lamps and mirrors
a digital camera
a Raymond Weil classic watch with white face, roman numerals and black leather strap (complete with all paperwork and original boxes)
and a partridge in a pear tree if anybody is interested. Pictures and viewings can be arranged on request

[DeadParrot]

netbook have hdmi out?
size of chest or drawers and lockers?
I am aware I'd be falling into the trap of picking up shite you want gone

[CHDad]

No HDMI out, it's the Inspiron 10V so it has VGA,3 USB ports & Ethernet but no HDMI.

Of course that also means that both the wireless and the memory can be upgraded (albeit you need to know your way around a laptop) unlike the Inspiron 10 which has HDMI but no wireless or memory upgrade possible.

Chest of drawers is
39'' Length
36'' Width
17'' Depth

Bedside Lockers are
22'' Length
16'' Width
17'' Depth

It's not a trap when you're getting such good value

[davepoke/her]

I need to have a wedding.

For 10e I can guarantee that I'll have you 7lbs lighter by Friday morning as long as you follow my diet plan.

I can't guarantee that you won't have put all the weight back on by Monday though.

[Iago]

Picture of digital camera taken by said digital camera requested.

Tongue in cheek or not, here you go

It's an oldie but a goodie, it's essentially brand new albeit it's an old camera. I'll practically give this away mainly because it has sat in a drawer for years without use.



and yes, my phone camera has higher megapixels than this one

I've also got a Kindle, a couple of external 1TB hard drives by Segate and a NAS from Zxyel (which again is practically unused)

[AndyFatBastard]

How much for the NAS?

[DeadParrot]

Ditto and TB drives (what is the read/write cycle, how much use?)

[Iago]

How much for the NAS?

Ditto and TB drives (what is the read/write cycle, how much use?)

I'm doing myself a disservice, here's what I've got

1 seagate go flex home (with 1 TB storage) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-STAM...oflex+home+2tb which is effectively brand new as I've never used it.

1 seagate flex cinema media player (3TB) http://www.memoryc.com/storage/multi...nema1080p.html which while not brand new hasn't been used much at all as I pretty much exclusively live stream stuff

1 Zyxel NSA 220 (one drive in case I think it's 1TB) http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Zyxel-NSA-220...p2054897.l4275 which again is pretty much unused

I don't have boxes or manuals for any of them but all plugs, cables etc are present and correct.

I'm open to offers on all 3 with an added discount for bulk purchase, drop me a note if interested.

TV licence man rang the door, wife went to the door, he put his licence to the door showing who he was, and then wife came back to the room and we decided to just sit there and ignore the guy until he went away.

Hmm was that smart?

We have a tv but no tv channels, just didn't know how we'd prove that to him when he's there looking at the big tv sitting on the table. Or whether just having a tv is enough to have to have a licence.

Ya just having a tv that can recieve signal is enough to require a licence. Cant pay wont pay. Je suis Hitch.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

...

[eamonhonda]

Yeah? Glad I didn't open the door then. Thats a stupid regulation though.

Yeah I got caught a few months back. Told him its not even plugged in to recieve channels and is basically an external monitor for my laptop which is true, he said I still have to have one so I just gave in. Load of bollocks really.

Sites like matchdrama and footytube might have it.

Hola unblocker and the BBC iPlayer is the handiest way.

[eamonhonda]

Paul Galvin is back with Kerry?

[eamonhonda]

Anywhere I can catch MOTD online?

Regularly download it on a monday from torrents, good quality copies with plenty of seeders up weekly

[SatNav]

Is there books on the kindle Iago?

[dobby]

Paul Galvin is back with Kerry?

Yes, training. I imagine he is there as someone to mentor the young lads. I doubt he will get much championship time if any at all. Would only be a shadow of his former self now at 35 or 36 years old.

[Iago]

Is there books on the kindle Iago?

There are, they are very much my taste though. Game of Thrones, Malazan Book of the Fallen and other sets of fantasy/sci-fi and spy type thrillers. I'd need to look and see exactly what's on it.

However, if someone here buys it I'll add access to my Dropbox folder of books which currently has 2k+ ebooks in it. Everything from Lord of the Rings to Andrea Pirlos autobiography via John Grisham & Tim Ferris self help books...eclectic to say the least!

Wish GOT and The Leftovers would hurry on back. Better Call Saul is not good. Latest one is one of the slowest eps of tv I've watched. I see there is a S02 of Fargo planned, nice.

Anyone point me to some decent new tv drama?

[MrsFlushdraw]

The young fella is asking about a modded controller for his X Box 36. I looked at a couple of sites but they are in the US. Anyone know about them and can offer me advice?

Thanks in advance

Gave up on HOC at start of 2nd season. Too much talking to the camera

Ah yes. Must get back to this, was 6 or 7 eps in but never got round to watching further.

I opened the door to a tv licence guy about 3 months ago. Gave him a fake name and said I will buy a tv licence. Got a few letters since with the fake name. If i do come across another one at the door I will say can you wait a minute im in the middle of something and log onto the internet and purchase a tv licence and then I will return and with out giving much detail I will tell him I have recently purchased a TV licence for this address good day to you sir.

Guy at lunch today was saying that the reason women have two breasts is that twins were far more common historically due to high death rate of kids in very early years, so there had to be two breasts to support two suckling kids.

Increased likelihood of survival of the individual child has reduced prevalence of twins, but both breasts remain nevertheless.

That's a bit of a win and an interesting factoid.

It might be interesting, but I'd hazard a guess that its complete bollox also.
Twins occur because of something that happens at a single cellular level very early on. I can't see how infant mortality rate affects it. Regardless, we certainly don't have statistics for pre-human twin rates.

And all mammals have nipples in pairs. Apes, dogs, cats. And they all have more nipples than they need.

Lol, well you learn something new every day.
I was gonna say “almost all mammals” in case there is some perverted mole with one nipple. But 13 nipples! Never seen that coming
