    Oh I hate Segrada. My bad luck with dice in any game is, however, legendary.

    Two player travel friendly game

    Patchwork and Jaipur are good 2 player games and quite small. Jaipur exists as an app, but is better physical.

    Maplin to be sold (surprise surprise) - What would you change to make it survive?

    Well, I missed "immediate gratification" from my list, which is the only reason I can explain Argos at all.

    Maplin to be sold (surprise surprise) - What would you change to make it survive?

    I would try to reinvent some stores as a hacker space with all sorts of things available to use and try out and see if hacker space attached to retail could become a "thing". They're just plain not playing to any advantages of being a physical store. I wrote to Maplin, suggesting that their...

    Popping in right hearphone... disconnecting/reconnecting hardware noises... socks

    Well, after a few hours of troubleshooting my Vive for disconnecting and reconnecting windows effects and constant popping in the right headphone, I tracked it down... It was my socks. Alpaca woollen socks. I was a VR De Graf static generator... well, that's about as bizarre a series of...

    How to be less reactive and impulsive

    It may also be good to tell your colleagues that you know you have this issue and are trying to improve, especially with language. I have found myself using the phrase "I don't care about that" when I *do* care about it, but what I am trying to say is that I trust other people to figure out the...

    Hard Drive Pricing going up at an alarming rate!!!!

    I've been making do on a 320GB drive for far too long, this little crisis made me move faster. I wasn't in before they started moving north, but the £340 I paid on Tuesday (for 1x3TB and 3x1TB) would now cost £510! At least I wont be needing more drives for a while.

    modem/router advice wanted.

    I'm looking to replace my bebox (thompson) with something a little more robust as it likes to reboot, and will take out the local network when it does so (pretty annoying during an epic LAN shogun battle) What I'm after could be a standalone modem, although integrated with router would be far...

    I've just missed out on a very good deal!

    even if the electrics were fine, the water will have gotten in everywhere, and the chassis would be rotting from the inside out.

    Salvaged cars advice!!

    more that it's not their business. a large breakers yard is exactly that. If they wanted to be a 2nd hand car salesroom, they would open another business.

    Salvaged cars advice!!

    repairing the rear quarter of that 206 would be pretty costly and need cutting out and welding. my current runabout (P reg xantia 1.9TD) I got for £150. It had suffered from Xantia handbrakeitis (caliper handbrake on the front discs, if the handbrake is only lightly applied after a hard...

    Clamped for no tax disk on display

    well, technically "You must display this disc on the left-hand side of the vehicle's windscreen. If the vehicle does not have a windscreen fitted, you will need to display the disc on the passenger side." but anyway, you were not on the road so there's no need for one, surely?

    Think i sucked water into the engine of a car, damage?

    depends if you sucked water in, or stalled from the exhaust being below the water and you letting revs drop when changing gear. don't let revs drop when trying to drive through a lake :)

    Honda Integra Question

    although I haven't played Forza 2, I have driven a DC2 teg. and it was absolutely brilliant. I am a RWD snob, but I would so love a teg, it really doesn't feel much like a FWD car.

    yeah, I think the previous owner of my xantia has done that :mad: still, winters nearly over, so freezing hand syndrome is nearly over.

    Radiator leaking what to do?

    aluminium ones are less efficient than copper, but wont rot like copper ones do. if they're the same price, Id get an ali one, they look 'newer' than a black painted copper one, so might get you more cash ;)
