My son suffers terribly with it especially when the grass pollen starts which according to Countryfile was last week.

He is reluctant to go outside on dry days even when he takes a tablet. Sunglasses usually help as they seem to stop some of the pollen getting into his eyes.

i recently recieved an X5650 that i bought off ebay for a reasonable price.

I installed it on an ASUS ii extreme and nothing happened.......literally nothing so i put it in an ASUS P6T and again no joy......odd i thought, so i tried an E5620 in both boards and they both fired up fine. i contacted the vendor explained the situation and my experience building 1366 and other pcs

Soooooooo.........the cpu doesnt work, fine i will return it.



check out the lovely message i had from the vendor.

Strangely the return address was to a chap with a very different non British name. I have had my full refund and have already bought a cheaper one.

Up yours Tom Vaughan or Mr Malik whatever your real name is.

Typical eBay users really,i had a huge fiasco when i made an attempt to sell the Elder Scrolls online imperial edition on PS4,it had everything excluding the DLC code which i stated in my description the code has been used already by me. I made mistake in not informing her about the postage and she had right hissy fit because it was meant to be a present for someone. She then emailed me saying its not imperial edition even though its stated the code to access the optional stuff has been used and you're practically buying for standard copy and all the collectible statue and artbook etc. Then threatens me for refund which i happily accepted and even paid postage again. She then chilled out eventually though.

Got a letter through the post this morning. Pension company asking me to decide on people/organisations to receive my death grant and pension in the event I die. Pleasant subject for a Tuesday morning.

I had a similar experience to this two years back. an friend wanted his older system restored with zero fuss so had to search for identical parts for it. Came across a motherboard I needed, purchased it, board arrived with bent cpu socket pins and thermal paste all over some of the pins.
All of, of course wasnt in the auction description at the time. when i contacted the seller he started telling me it was impossible as the board was freshly pulled out of a working system and tested before being sent to me. Pretty much accused me of fowl play.
Told me it was easy to bend the pins back and clean up the thermal paste and i should do it myself but i refused as no where in the auction description did it say the pins were bent & there was thermal goop all over them.
Seller wasnt being very co-operative so i filed a dispute with ebay which froze the money for that transaction in his PP account and boy was he fucked off about it lol. he was so mad!

I did send the board back & provided proof of postage to ebay as well as pictures of the CPU socket with the bent pins and thermal goop all over it and had everything refunded. But the real gem here is when he left me negative feedback calling me a scammer.

Got to love these hidden gems that think they can get away with false photos or no photos at all or using free ones from google.

Just a heads up - Amazon are doing Talisker whiskies for around 41% off

If you like that stuff its the best time to stock up or get you or your dad drunk before father's day.

::EDIT::

Glenfiddich Royal Oak 14 is also on lightning deal - Im on prime so i already have my order in but they are going fast

I can heartily recommend Storm for those into their light peaty types.

EDIT: Headed down to my sister's house for my brother's 30th birthday this weekend. Stocked up on Havana cigars, might take my small selection of whiskies with me.

EDIT EDIT: By the gods, Glenlivet Nadurra has gone up to £65

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I missed a Dalmore and Ardbeg this morning I think they went on lightning deal around 8am which is stupid as i didnt even get into bed till 4am after coming home at midnight.

If youre going to spend £65 - you might as well go £80 and get the £80 Jura 21 apparently Jura stopped making them a while back but they seemed to have started again so are fairly rare.

Shit. Hope you are ok Dude.

I actually made it home around 6pm - Dont worry, No need to build a rig dedicated to me just yet. (Krej...)

Im in one peice - no broken bones, fractures or nerve damage, Just soft tissue damage which is extreme bruising. My right thigh too a right old smack though. Im limping pretty hardcore and climbing stairs hurts like fuck but im still in one peice. right hand is also wrecked to a certain point pain where my knuckles are and where my wrist is.

watching my gopro footage back (thank god) it seems that it was all just and unfortunate accident. He was turning left while i was in the bus lane. I thought he would have moved out of the bus lane but the guy stopped and decided to let a mother pushing a pram across the road. and by the time he stopped to let her pass it was already too late for me to do anything about it. I pulled on the brakes hard but i still ended up smashing into the side of of the car. It was raining fairly heavy at the time so my brakes didnt have as much grip. He got out to make sure i was ok then drove off when i requested that he pull over and give me his insurance details and thats pretty much a criminal offense right there. Had he waited with me for the police to arrive then i dont think anything would have happened to him. As it is now. He'll get a fine, some points on his license or even lose his license if the judge see's fit to revoke it.
