Re: IKTS 2011/2012

We need to get JD back again next season, he's opted out two years now. Perhaps with Southampton in, he'll give it a go. :D Pete :cheers:

Re: Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season 2011-12

One thing I learned this season is to use your transfers often, every 1-2 weeks is about right. A transfer for a Wigan defender got me ahead of RZR finally in the second to last week. I had already picked this last week before I saw Dempsey was injured or I would have transferred him for the last ma...

Re: Police crackdown on use of phones, TV by drivers

It is a mindset thing. The Pajero Sport we have has a rear seat DVD player but the DVD goes into the front dashboard Alpine unit and then plays on both, you can't avoid it playing in the front if the kids want to watch it in the back. Doesn't bother me at all and not even tempted to glance at it. It...

Re: 2012 F1 Pool

Definitely not our normal bowl of minestrone soup this week. No one picked Maldonado to win, and in fact no one picked him to be in the top 10. Richard had the best week this week, I think for the first time this season and last. :bow: Our top four are Terry, Pitsch, RZR, and Parahandy who bumps JJ ...

Re: Typically British...

Do the yanks or other countries have such broad regional accents? Within an hours drive of me there's Manc, Scouse, Brummy, Yorkshire and Stoke (which is the worst accent in Britain, bar none) Some, but not all that many. There's the South of course with it's own drawling accent. Then Texas which i...

Re: Caption Competition

In my opinion Sam a bit more fiber is called for, and stay away from the curry for a fortnight.

Re: HILTON up in smoke??

Could be where their backup generators are located. The old diesel powered units let off a belch of black smoke for a minute or two when started up. Has there been power outages recently? Pete :cheers:

Re: Dirty municipal water

By large particle I meant substances that make your water brown...sand, mud, dissolved dirt etc., that get into the water system. It's good for just about anything like that, but not down to the bacteria or chemical level. The filter inside looks like a large roll of fax paper with fins and baffles....

I was going to put this in the "Birds of Thailand" thread as it was big enough to be a bird. :shock: Chomping off small bits of crab and taking back to its nest. It came back again and again for 15 minutes taking a small piece each time. Pete :cheers: EDIT: Taken with an IPhone camera. Ima...

Re: thermometers

Test whatever you get. Apparently they're not made with mercury any longer. Whatever the substance is in there it sometimes does not work. I got a supposedly reputable brand from True Value and it won't go above 30C even in the sun. It won't go below 20C even in the frig. :shock: Bloody junk. Perhap...
