The TPU UK Clubhouse

I am a northerner originally from Oldham, though living in the Midlands now and I really don't know how people can work and live in and around London as to me going there and using the tube is my worst nightmare though I have to now and then for work. I know if you grew up there it is just part and parcel of living in London but to outsiders like me it is horrible :laugh: not in a disrespectful way btw I just can't stand being in crowded places and don't even get me started on driving, even outside of the capital ( I visit Harrow on the hill quite regularly) it's horrendous, stopping, starting, people walking/pulling out into the streets. Defo not cut up for London life lol

Hence the reason why my parents moved out London too haha,cheaper to live somewhere else too.
 
Lol should be good,my friend has Z5500 surround for his 360,connected to his TV though i think,sounds amazing.

Time to get my party hat tonight.
 
Ok... finally got time to give a small update on the netbook situation....

Still working on the review, but i got caught up installing W7 x64 then started to transfer all my files over.

the small screen really looks amazing though. Its really sharp. and playing 1080p not only looked great but there was no stuttering or slow downs.

Im still working on a back to back review of my old laptop and the new one, with some pictures and maybe a bench or 2.

The speakers in it are made by Altec Lansing. They are not tinny at all but it lacks bass and mids, however the sound does have a little more body to it so its not as bad as your average netbook or notebook.

Review to follow later.
 
Hmmm....review is nearly done. I think i will create a new thread for it in General.
 
Well my GTX 570 should be with me by Monday I think it will balance my system out to perfection compared to my 470 as well as running cooler and consuming less power for a decent FPS boost to 480 levels, now there is nothing that I can think of doing to my rig it will most likely not be long before I sell it and build a new one as they start to bore me when I can't upgrade anything without doing it for the sake of it ie: getting spending £300 for a small performance stepup from my 2500k etc :ohwell:

Oi oi oi count me in - I'm soldiered up ready to beat jedwood with a brick.

The mrs started watching it the other night - she said it was "just to have laugh" but I think she's actually geting into it. She's first on the list...
 
I think the UK people should stop paying for their TV licences till BBC & other tv channels/studios learn how to broadcast quality programs

none of this reality tv bullshit. and whats so great about big brother??? id rather they be locked up with no food or water for a few weeks then throw a sharp knife with a small peice of blueberry muffin into the room and then take bets to see whose the first one to get shanked evicted first and lets face it.... at this stage. who really gives a flying f**k who is in the BB house??? I dont know! I dont want to know! I can live my whole live and not lose any sleep over it!

If their not trying to kill each other. then its not worth watching. however, If they were all shagging each others brains out, then it might be worth watching.

Those goons.
 
Uh the license fee only goes towards the BBC.
Big Brother finished why the hell did CH5 have to buy it? I hate reality and social programming its all for fucking sycophants. Same for that Xfactor get it to fuck.
 
Off topic to everyone conversation about TV programs.
I got an engine warning light now on my car for 3rd time,i am probably going guess it's the catalytic converter again,because it showed up twice before when the car been to garage for fault code check.
Should i get it replaced now and i also need change the brake disc and pad or wait until my insurance renewal and get a newer car,so i don't have to put up with less problems and cheaper to maintenance the car and better MPG and lower tax.
What do you guys think its best to do??

That's why so many Freemen are getting away with not paying it. Good on them! If only I had the time :o

Personally, I'd rather have the adverts every 20 minutes rather than paying for the TV licence, but that's just me.

If it's a Peugeot - get ready for loads of problems
