Having had a bit of a overdose of online quizzes, thought we'd do something different last night and play poker while virtually socializing. We used an app called Pokerface, which I wasn't a huge fan of for a few reasons: a) It seemed to only work on phones, I'd much rather use a laptop. b) It...

Following on from recent threads about coffee shops, I've decided I'm splashing way too much money in said shops so should probably invest in my own machine. It's a bit of a minefield and I've found myself considering machines from £99 to £499+ and have read so many (often conflicting) reviews...

I've recently moved into a house that was built in around 1992. We've had some work done on the fireplace which gave me a chance to see the wall cavity. I've attached a photo below, which shows that a sheet of polystyrene has been used, the sheet fills about 1/3 of the gap. So I have two...

In a nushell: I got a quote to have one of my garden fences replaced with the same style of fencing that I have on the other side, the guy came round to view before quoting. I came back from work today to find the new fence style was quite different to the other fence and both myself and the...

In a little over a week 10 of us will be heading out to Hamburg. Unfortunately the one activity I had planned has fallen through, which was to watch a football game, as St Pauli are playing away and the Hamburg game will be on the Sunday when we're flying home. The flights were booked before the...

OK, I don't need any help taking the measurement, but the issue is that I have determined that my inside leg measurement is 32". The problem is that smart trousers all appear to be made in odd inches, so I can choose 31" which are approaching half-mast territory or 33" which start to approach...

I'm being badgered to provide my Christmas list. Unfortunately, like every year, I'm drawing a blank. So far I have come up with some noise cancelling headphones and a hedge trimmer. I was looking to plagarise someone else's, so, what have you asked for (or perhaps want but haven't asked for)?

Can't believe this hasn't already been posted. Was just reading through the pullout mag (Take5) and on page 6 is a two page spread on Jo. It includes a pic in the stripes. :albion1:

I posted this on the bargains board, but considering the potential saving and the fact it is slightly football related I figured it was worthy of re-posting here. I signed up with an identical offer before Xmas which was supposed to be open to friends and family of Sky employees. Sky are...

A friends PC has been well a truely screwed up with with some sort of spyware. I've installed Ad-Aware, Spybot and Avast. I've also told him to use Firefox going forward, but there is still somethings left on there as when he does use IE (i.e. for a Windows Update) random pop-ups are occuring...

My housemate has just received a dart board for his birthday. Now on one hand I'm looking forward to improving my arrows skills, but on the other I'm horrified at how it'll destroy the house after having one in my student days. Unfortunately we don't really have a spare room/garage it can go...

Chaps I'm making a mix cd for our trip down to Brighton to watch the Premier League darts final. I'm looking to fill it with songs with with either references to Brighton or used in the darts. So far I have: Brighton Fatboy Slim - You're not from Brighton Metallica - So What (I know it's a...

I'm about to start a new job and my daily commute will drop from from 60 miles to under 5. Therefore I was thinking of downgrading my sensible, economical car (Skoda Fabia TDI) to something a bit cheaper but perhaps a little more exciting to drive. Looking to spend a maximum of £3k on a car...

Does it count as a shot if a player makes a attempt to play the ball but totally misses it? I think it does but my mate, who performed such an act today, unsuprisingly doesn't :) Does anyone have a conclusive answer. It was off the tee if that makes any difference.

The Amtrak website and telephone lines are about as useful as piles so I was wondering if anyone knows if they actually deliver on Saturday. I received a card yesterday (Friday) saying an attempt to deliver a parcel had been made and that "a second attempt will be made tomorrow between...

I just received an email from friendsreunited saying that someone had left me a message and to click a link to read it. I don't recognise the name of the person, so my 1st guess is that it was some kind of email/password grabbing scam. However the link is legit, its the proper site. However the...

From Amazon: Customers who bought music by Seagulls Ska also bought music by these artists: * Robb Johnson * Half Man Half Biscuit * The Clash * Zutons * Britney Spears Ok, so who has been buying some Britney? Also, who the :censored: is Robb Johnson? It does seem like we...

Am planning on going to Blackpool this month for the *cough*Swinedump*cough* match (hopefully I wont watch the match myself, but with alcohol consumed who knows...) :dunce: There's going to be 8 lads doing lots of :drink: and are ideally looking for a hotel that'll still have a bar open after...

I'm making trip down the trip down for the Swindon match and meeting up with some mates from Swindon. I'm supposed to be showing them round but am rather out of touch. Can anyone recommend some watering holes and clubs that currently make for a good day/night out? Did the same thing last year...
