  1. Looking for some cool things to do and some good places for photography
  2. These are all really low res.... probably best to let me send you a couple to an email address as a big file... quality is amazing....
  3. according to auto express the new RS focus will have an electric engine feeding the back wheels and a 2.5 petrol up front
  4. tv wise... my box needs a reset about once a month. I also pull the plug out of the one in the room because sometimes the hard drive spins up in the middle of the night which wakes me up. I can't comment on your case as i don't know the ins and outs... but that sounds really bad, you have ever right to be annoyed... What have they said they are going to do to rectify this? I have my line rental with BT, I can't be arsed to change it over to Sky... I know its slightly cheaper but the saving isn't worth any hassle which comes with it. My internet is through sky and its been fault less... I also have Sky Talk but to be honest, i never ring anyone from the house phone i use my free minutes and i have no idea if thats any good... the internet must be popular in my block of flats as there are 8 other wifii sky accounts I can see.... i don't know if its free to call or not.. I have called customer services quite a few times and never had a problem with the person on the end... I had a fault on my telephone line, which once it was fixed I got a massive sky bill for box office stuff... Apparently my box couldn't connect properly to the line. All my box office stuff was free for almost a year before i got a large bill.... once my box finally manage to talk to big brother and tell them the amount of films i had watched... i thought i was getting away with it.. lol I think the package above is around £38.50 a month for the full package... but there are different packages you can be on so the price can change... my friend just got it installed. from phone call to install was less than a week.. however it does depend on how busy your area is. mine took a couple of weeks but that was a few years ago.
  5. im in brockenhurst but dont have a v dub... lol
  6. oh, one more thing... i wouldn't get a small body ever again.... cramped especially once you start getting proper glass on the front of it.. it just feels awkward... 50D or 7D is where I would stick my money if i was you.... I have a lot of canon kit but can't comment on nikon as never really used it but i have heard very very good things about it.
  7. Canon 40D is a great camera however i really felt the lcd screen on the back let it down.... When you get into photography properly and you are looking for sharp crips pictures you need a good screen on the back to check this.... I had so far 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 40D, 50D. The biggest jump in picture quaity was to the 40D... the image was better than any of my previous cameras... There isn't much if any difference between the 40D picture quality or the 50D however I have achieved better results with my 50D as the screen on the back is so much better.. I don't use live view but I check my pictures for sharpness on the LCD and the 40D images all look soft on the lower res screen... Motorsport lens.. 100-400..... canon l series is what i would go for... I have the 70-200mm with a x2 extender.. the 70-200 2.8L is an amazing lens however the x2 ruins it a bit.. softer and loss of sharpness.. I can post some pictures this week of my motorsport stuff if you like....
  8. AOL.... Personally I give everyone a chance to fix it. Things don't always go to plan first time. If you feel like they are not doing enough to fix things or it doesn't get fixed then I would call the cancelations department. It's your money they are taking at the end of the day. From my experience with broadband problems is more than likely a problem with your line quality or a problem at the exchange. So cancelling and going with someone else might not resolve this.
  9. I like it too. Ignore the colour. Like with any car people like different colours. Shape wise it looks great from the front not so sure on the lights at the back but as cars go. Thumbs up from me. Shame to ditch the 5 cylinder turbo. Adams car sounded great. Mpg ****e though.
  10. Hello Mate, Yes I work for sky however I have nothing to do with installs.... Im a technical bod in broadcast.... so i don't know more than you im afraid... Personally if you are not happy... like with anything... best thing to do is give them a call...? I know this might sound stupid but I can think of quite a few reasons why a sky engineer wouldn't be allowed in a loft for health and safety reasons... but hey what do i know... Personally i would give them a call or get a sparky to do it... My install was rather simple compared to yours... just a hole in the wall to the tv... My friend who is a sparky moved my parents cables it took no time at all....
  11. Saving up to £516. The offer includes: Free Sky+HD box Half price Sky TV for a year (save up to £306) Free Sky HD Pack for a year (save £120) Free standard set-up (save £30) Half price Sky Multiroom for a year (save £60) PLUS they could save even more if they take our Sky Broadband, Talk and Line Rental services.
  12. I have a few Sky offers left, if anyone is interested. Like I have always said there is no finacial gain for me I jus give my spare ones away to friends. This is for new customers only.
  13. Ok, Im working on an update today... been putting this off for ages, i have been very busy... will add all new people and remove broken gamer tags.
  14. ah its all good... I am healing up, it is a shame, however like most bikers you can only prepare for the worst. U kind of expect it will happen to be honest... 3 bikes written off now.... Putting the money in the bank.... for the time being. I have been offered £300 less than purchase price which isn't bad considering i have owned the bike 1.5 years and put some miles on her... Its all been great fun and a joy to own. But your luck runs out fairly quickly on bikes! have tinkered with the idea of upgrading the car to something BMW with an M in the badge. was looking at Z4M & M6.. Then thought better of it...

  17. 1 and a half years on the Duke covering 5000 glorious miles, and hours of tinkering and modding the bike. It was all ended by a little old lady. The bike has been written off. I ended up with a broken collar bone. I had just finished the two seater conversion a couple of days before so I could ride two up to Goodwood festival of speed all these parts were destroyed along with my new Carbon Lid. two seater conversion... back end transplant from a 999 Biposta. The dent to the top of the door is from my right shoulder at 30 miles an hour.

    He said that.. To be fair I was 100% in the wrong and needed to slow down a bit anyway. probably done me a favour! They were both bikers and both very interested in the bike. Didn't say anything about Black visor and tiny number plate.
