>.<
 
That is bullshit. There are no fishes in the Thames.

Thats just not true, I have caught several from the Thames.... in fact last June I was in Henley and bumped into Eva Longoria who was on a photo shoot there..... now thats one fishy woman!!! :rockout:

LIES! She is not fishy. Don't shatter (my) dreams.
 
ahh the good old days when i use to go out fishing - I mainly fish on the river lea, the grand union canal and the tottenham reservoir (loads of big carp in there!!) but Ive got membership to a few private lakes in Essex so i go there instead. Ive been out to brighton, Dover, Paington, and southend for fishing trips too.

I go on a fishing holiday every year with a friend, Devon this year for a week in May!

I did see a fish in the Thames once, a couple of years ago after the big floods up-river.

It was floating on the surface and seemed quite swollen. Smelt like a scouse stripper's sweaty snatch.

a couple of years ago that would have been the case - the thames is a lot cleaner now - at least clean enough for a baby killer whale or dolphin to swim up it.

secondly how would you know that it smelt like unless you had your nose buried right in it? Rotten fish smells - rotten fish in stale/dead water smells but the thames is running water and even a rotten fish in the river would hardly throw up a stink as the water is constantly moving - So you were either taking a trip in the back of a trash tipper or you were up to your nose in rotting fish guts.
 
well - I got my 5850 in - but it looks like the PCS+ version of the Powercolour 5850 even if it is a standard 5850 - its a red PCB so im not too sure about voltage control


also - Random guy called and offerd me £55 for my Xonar D2x because he wanted to buy something else & he didnt have enough money to cover everything he wanted to buy..... ¬_¬
 
Managed to squeeze my 6950 in. Really looking forward to reinstalling Windows and getting it all sorted for some sweet sweet vids this weekend. Pissed I have to wait until the mother-in-law has fucked off before I can actually do anything of worth, but it's only polite to not be a dick and lock myself away.

Looking forward to finally completing Fallout 3, starting New Vegas and Metro 2033 and getting some scores submitted to the e-peen 11 thread.

sevensisters/bruce grove - I used to work in acton and go to college in hounslow - then i moved to work in Vauxhaul
 
And yes...there is indeed no voltage control on this 5850, its about 25% shorter then my own 5850 and im struggling to clock it over 900mhz on the core :(
 
So even quoting the sale of goods act didnt work??? Consult the trading standards!!!

Naa they insist if it's fully working they won't offer refund only exchange. I can't be asked to deal with that crap since have too many other stuff to do. A work colleague is selling it for me on gumtree so meh, as long as I see some money back I don't mind.


In other news.... this year is going to be hell. National insurance increase, transport prices up yet again (for the usual shitty service), VAT up too... and forget saving money, 2.85% interest on Cash ISA is just crap.

UK buggered much?
 
Damn VAT rise forced me to buy a new telly. Now I have to watch telly on a bigger screen! (or play video games)

Bloody taxes :)
 
Should have *accidently* knocked over a cup of coffee on it and handed it back for a refund while it was still sticky! im still dicking around with the new 5850. so far its 900|1160 stable :( i guess it shouldnt really matter since im going cross fire but ive still got to down clock my sapphire to sync it :(

Terrible isn't it. As if we don't have enough to worry about already and they go and pull this off.
The worst part is, "United Kingdom" is a company that is trading on the stock market. We are all employees of the "United Kingdom Corporation" and they're screwing us over proper. The "Law Society" has even invented a new language, called "Legalese". When you're "summoned" to court for not paying these hiked up bills and taxes, you are spoken to in Legalese, not English (their way of saying what they want and making you agree to enter into a contract with them).
You can get out of paying Council Tax and TV licence; the group in my sig, TPUC, are working on other things aswell.

Look for a 5-part series of videos on Youtube called John Harris - It's an illusion. Here's part 1.

And visit the link in my sig for more eye-opening information.

How can they force you to buy a new telly numpty? they said VAT rise and you answerd the call. but smaller items dont matter much. but imagine paying £800 for a new tv before they add VAT thats gonna hurt public spending unless everyone gets a pay rise and not just a rise of 1% which big boss mans are so happy to give us. we need something like 3-5% and if they are complaining then maybe their bonus should be cut by 90% so everyone can benefit from it instead. they will still recieve a bonus but not stupidly big ones

I'll take a look. Legalese or not, whether it's HMV or my father's employers, there seems to be a tendancy to screw people over too much nowadays with "legalities". Political correctness has been one annoying thing, but now it's like UK is becoming USA with insane legal dribble. All this makes me wish Jeremy Clarkson was PM lol

Yea, the phrase I've been hearing a lot lately is "Americanised". Everythings coming down to legal loopholes and suing eachother. Getting out of paying Counil Tax and TVL is frowned upon by a lot of people. But if the PM, MP's and other Politicains are allowed to have their whole lives written up as expenses, then there's no way I'm going to make my family starve while others live the high-life for doing next to F.A. They don't call me Scam for no reason :laugh:
These techniques for avoiding taxes have apparently been tried and tested, and they seem to be hinting on it not being a loophole that they can close, as it's a direct infringement on something-something.

Jeremy Clarkson for PM ftw, goodbye speed cameras, the governments favourite revenue collector at the mo!
 
Does 21173 seem like a low P-Score in vantage for my system?

we would be more fucked than the californians with arnie :laugh:
 
Well somebody voted in this piss poor bunch of bluffers so we can blame them. Now I do understand to be fair that both Cameron and Clegg said before the election......

1. "We will not support a rise in University fees".
2. "There will be no VAT increase whilst my party is in power"!

blah blah, and I do appreciate we are in shit state, in fact I am all for sorting it out, but call me old fashioned, I think the wealthy should take a bigger proportion of the pain and not tax the poor, I beleive the USA has much greater debt than us (pro rata) and they are not taxing the poor to near starvation, the opposite in fact.....the poverty gap between the poorest and the richest just increases further, I am not a political animal, in fact I do vary my vote dependant on what I see, hear and feel and to be honest, I am quite well off and lucky, although my upbringing was VERY working class, most people would call me middle class now but I cannot sadly see fairness in the direction the Government is moving.
 
Being a politician is hard, while you are looking from afar (ie. not running the government), you can make random promises to win the hearts of voters. However, once you are in power, the crippling debt faced by the country means that its either the politicians continue through their election promises and force Britain into a bankruptcy, or try to save it by going back on your promises. Of course one might argue that the politicians should not be making stupid promises first, but in this age where media holds so much power, they have little if any choice other than to lie a little to win more voters.

Also, increasing the tax for the rich will not work out as well as planned, because, well, being rich gives you more options to avoid them. The higher the taxes, the more incentive for the rich to avoid taxes. Hence, increasing the taxes for the rich will bring about less revenue, which is counterproductive. So, the only way to get more money out of taxes is through taxing the already overtaxed middle class since that taxing the working class will be seen as cruel.

I believe that the poor will get poorer, the rich will get richer because of the multiplying effect of wealth. If you have some money stored somewhere (house, etc.) then you can make the money work for you, coupled with the fact that you are earning, you will be making much more money than the "poor". The poor will have to dig their way out, while the rich will just cruise on their wealth.

The world is a shitty place as of now, and it will only get shittier.
