Thanks Ringo. Some crackers there. I've seen one or two with hard tops for another couple of hundred quid. Any thoughts?

Worth it for the winter, and doubly so if you have a garage or somewhere that you can store it in the summer. Driving with the hard top on cuts out a lot of wind noise and eliminates a bit of scuttle shake so the car feels a bit more 'together' with it on. Obviously the disadvantage is that you can't simply take the roof down, but I was never that fussed about that anyway. It's particularly good for the winter.

Tell me about it. You think I want a piano? I can't even play the piano. But then I found out you were getting a piano, so I didn't really have much choice.

You think I wanted a baby? We came to your house and you were having a baby and Richie was having a baby and it was like OH FFS, if everyone is doing it then I've got to as well, and now I don't get any real time to play Xbox Posts: 4934

Wait until she starts walking. That's when the fun really ends.

Yeah, it's not what we need right now. He ran out of the door when I was letting a friend of mine out, nd my friend instinctively ran after him, effectively chasing him away. We searched for hours but never found him, and haven't seen any sign of him for a couple of weeks now. Don't know if we're likely to see him again.
The other one is really missing him. Keeps going round the house meowing at doors and stuff.

Yeah we did all that, and informed all the local animal shelters, RSPCA, that kind of thing. He's chipped, but doesn't have a collar (always loses them).
I think the chances are he's trying to find his way to the old flat, but he's not got a very high chance of finding it. I think our only hope for him being returned to us is if he's taken to a vet or the rspca and his chip is scanned. He's unlikely to still be in the general vicinity.
I just can't spend too much time thinking about it at the moment, it doesn't do any good. Probably people who don't own cats wouldn't understand how attached you become to them. I wouldn't say it was anything like losing a child, but certainly you feel like your cats are much-loved members of the family, and their absence leaves a very painful void. I'm just consoling myself with the fact that he's good around roads and won't have any trouble catching food, so I don't think he's likely to suffer for being outside. He's probably having a great adventure.

It breaks my heart what this forum did to him. Just needling away at him, chipping at his confidence, picking him up on every little thing he said and twisiting it into some bizarre tool with which to attack him. It makes me sick. You lot didn't deserve him. Just treated him like shit and now he's gone. Posts: 13758

No, it's a bit of an unusual sitation since reema is effectively buying the property off of herself and pete. So pete's coming off the deeds and I'm going on, but it's already Reema's property so we've had access all along, though we had agreed not to enter the property while Pete was still there. He moved out at the start of the month so we've been able to get in there for weeks, but didn't want to do anything until paperwork had been signed. We took a bit of a risk starting before the completion date (even though the transfer forms had been signed by all parties) but it was either that or contemplate another fortnight with my parents which just wouldn't have been acceptable.

I'm due an upgrade now so looking around. I'm not interested in the locked down iphone so am looking at other stuff.
The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S looks really nice. Anyone have one/know if it's any good? Or have any recommendations for a different phone?

I don't have the I9000 Galaxy S, but I do have a Samsung C3050 which I guess is pretty much the same:
It's got a high quality 176x220 pixel colour screen and even a camera, which can take digital photos at up to 640x480 resolution! You can download Java games including a great one called Poppin Panda which I've just completed:

The HTC Desire HD is coming out soon - Mid October I think they're saying. I'm due for an upgrade as well and think I'll have to go for one of those as my first full-on smart phone. I like my Nokia E71, but I want to play about with some development for the state-of-the-art phones.
I like a keyboard though, and they're doing a keyboard version as well, which looks interesting. I'm not sure if it's going to be a bit flimsy though.

He's actually a really, really funny guy. We play on Xbox live every now and then. He's a solid bloke. Me, him and a bunch of others are going ski-ing in January.

I think they just do the manly thing and add more letters. The Desire GTX, for example. G, T and X are very arousing letters for males. I mean, just X on it's own = sex, right? GT is gran torino, which is actual Italian, which means that ladies will just do it with you, even on a train or something.
Obsession might be the girl's version, as it implies a sort romantic psychopathy, like a nice way to say "stalker", like that lady in the papers this week who kept following Radio Two DJs and Tory MPs around. Probably the most disgusting fetish this country has ever witnessed. But "Obsession" makes being a complete fucking nutter sound kind of tragic and poetic and, frankly, that sells phones. To ladies. Anything with a lower-case i and a combination of Z, X, G or D sells them to men.

Does anyone have any experience of running electricity out to a shed and also insulating said shed? I'm not going to be drawing huge amounts of power: nothing more intensive than - say - some cutting tools, a light and a video camera. The insulation doesn't have to be full on - I'm not going to just be sitting still in there; it's going to be quite physical, but I would like to keep some heat in and maybe some soundproofing so as not to wake the neighbours.

I have a massive shed that is insulated and has power. I have no experience of setting it up though. There are cables sort of going down the side of the fence via the pump room. You can look at my wires if you want.
