    That cab's coming along nicely, but it'd have to have a big crt in it if it was me (especially as i've got several proper arcade monitors in a variety of sizes stored in the loft as spares for some of my other cabs :) ). I just can't hack lcd's in arcade cabinets!

    Woman sold laptop but got Sack of Potatoes

    The easiest way to avoid it is just not to buy of someone who comes out of nowhere and offers you cheap stuff!

    What do you have for breakfast?

    I just tend to have cornflakes with milk and a little sugar and a cup of tea. Only thing I really like. I do occasionally have toast instead or follow it with toast, or sometimes occasionally follow it with egg, bacon, sausage, beans, etc, although not fried - grilled instead (apart from the...

    My Arcade Cabinet

    Sorry about that! I admit I don't frequent the forums these days as much as I used to and had forgotten the rules about buying/selling. I didn't think something taken to private e-mails was not allowed though! :(:(

    Speed Awareness Course

    It cost me £69 + £2.50 for the pleasure of paying by card (which was the only method they offered to pay by!) It must've done something because i'm a little paranoid now when it comes to cameras and I do find myself checking my speed a lot more, making sure I haven't crept over 30 in a 30...

    Speed Awareness Course

    Yeah was a little like that at mine! The burnt out house must've been quite serious as well because of the road closure and that - it was on the local BBC Spotlight news on the TV later that day!

    Speed Awareness Course

    I went on one of these courses earlier this year. I got caught by a camera in a van in a layby (first time ever done for speeding since I passed my test), doing 39 in a 30 (I'd have put the house on the limit being 40 but anyway...good thing I didn't!). It was ok, went from about 9am till 1pm or...

    What OCD annoyances do you have?

    Indeed. There is a point where too much hygiene can have a negative affect on a persons health!

    Any issues with using 10W40 instead of 5W30?

    Ah, that's fair enough. I can't say i've seen inside a late BMW for a few years, I didn't realise they were putting three oil warning light on motors now :eek: ! I'm perhaps a bit out of touch in that respect! :o:D

    Any issues with using 10W40 instead of 5W30?

    That's as maybe, but it's good practice to check your oil regularly, and you really should not let your oil get that low. The red warning light isn't a "have a look at your oil because it's probably a bit low" indicator. 99% of the time it's a "stop the car and put some oil in as soon as...

    Any issues with using 10W40 instead of 5W30?

    I'd be more worried about why you let the oil get low enough that the light came on, rather than what half a litre of 10W40 oil would do (it won't make any difference at all). :eek: You're probably paranoid about the revving, but if there is any difference it's more likely due to the oil being...

    My Arcade Cabinet

    That's looks ok and you're obviously happy with it, but to me it's absolute sacrilige (sp!) to convert what looked to be a very decent condition original (and as you say, complete) Atari Paperboy cab into another Mame box (especially when i've been looking for one for quite a while although I...

    popular auction site tards

    For some reason, there are certain types of item sold on eBay that do seem to attract fools, and mobile phones is one of them. Don't know why really. My niece had exactly the same problem with a mobile she sold a few months ago. I think she had to list it two or three times before she got a...
