Here down south we had 2C when i checked at 8.45am. Nothing exciting really.

You know that next day smell that your clothes have when you go to a pub where people smoke? Here in England people could smoke in pubs up untill the smoking ban in July. I use to wake up the next day and I couldn't wear my clothes due to the smoky smell. Imagine this guy lol waking up the next day trying to wear his clothes....

ewwww

I lol'ed reading this. Poor bloke. Nothing worse than being stuck in filthy toilets with your own crap. Still i don't understand why some attempt at escaping the toilet weren't made? I mean usually the doors are very flimsy and can be kicked in.

Guess that's one experience he will never forget.

Ok I have just ordered a g15 keyboard. This morning i managed to spill my cup of tea with honey into my old logitech keyboard. After spending 2 hours taking it apart, cleaning it all out and putting it back together it didnt work. I have no idea why as it has happened a few times before and i have always successfully cleaned it and got it working again. When I put it together the 3 lights that normally show you caps/num lock/scroll lock were on continuously. Trying to reboot windows caused the boot up process to hang due to the faulty keyboard.

So i decided as a xmas pressie for me a g15 I was looking for a keyboard that i could use at night and which had good illumination of the keys and this was the best one I found. It will satisfy me in gaming/working and night working. Paid £50.14 for it from Dell. cheapest i could find apart from ebay.

My income (TV Rights + Sponsors) is £7,320,000 is that any good?

And i never realy bothered about the Pit Strategy thingy, is that realy important?

7.3m profit? Yeah that is not too shabby, you are currently getting more money than me and I have been playing GP Manager Pro for 20 seasons now.

Pit strategy is very important, each track has different fuel drop which means you need to alter your strategy accordingly.

There is a pitstop calculator posted in this thread which is quite handy at working out what is the best strategy for the next race. >>HERE<<

I was looking for an image of that RAC teeth skin. Recon it would be quite suitable here in this thread

Android beat me to it :P

Does that mean if a team develops an underpowered engine compared to their rival engines and has to submit it they will have to use that engine for the next 10 years?

/sarcasm on
If that is the case it will REALLY make racing interesting wont it..
/sarcasm off

I use to play Operation Flashpoint quite a bit and still am a proud owner of that game. I thought that Arma would be the next step up but I couldn't enjoy that game due to the bugs and poor frame rates on my current pc I hope that ArmA2 will be less buggy and more system friendly. I do like the concept thought, open maps, vehicles and team play if you can get a good team together.

I was just browsing the BIS website and stumbled across this blog
an interview with Kegetys about his modding and life.

I would be ok with the 24th. It is on that day we Czechs celebrate Xmas and only on that day. We have a dinner in the evening and then open presents after dinner, so if the patch was to be released on the 24th would be ideal!

mad

lol wtf! Why?!

Getting better and better, cant wait for another version..

awesome stuff

Nice video although it is a bit lengthy. I am not sure Scawen will have 19mins free to watch it being it pre Y patch and all that.

Nevertheless i am sure quite a bit of work went into that.

Want to wish MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ScaViErGer and everyone on this forum.

mad

Thanks for the info, i skip read through the first 3 pages only. Cheers for that

Yeah, great job. Now all it needs is a high res skin template but the one that comes with the viewer will do for now.

Live for Speed rocks!

I still find this to be one of the funniest videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ

hehe. tis an awesome song though!

You tube is full of stupid videos..

This one still make me chuckle when I see it. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RtCRWBRiU6w

It is not a stupid video, just a funny one. Poor guy lol.

Honda had to redesign Jenson Button's helmet to accommodate for this increase growth of facial hair.

Quote from xaotik :

Due to that capitalisation and because of all the hype I thought you were referring to World Of Warcraft currency and I almost panicked thinking that "this is it - the end has come - they've let that ****ing game get too big".

ROFL, i thought the same thing. People should know by now that the word "wow" used to express wonder, amazement, or great pleasure is totally different to "WoW" which everyone now knows it as World of Warcraft.

Interesting article there xaotik.

Quote from Bob Smith :

I thought Budweiser was originally Czech? Madman keeps going on about how Czech bud is actually nice. Ultimately I have got nearly 30 cans of Guinness in the fridge and I'm going to enjoy them whatever the news, at my own leisure.

There are two Budweiser's on the market. There is the original Czech Budweiser or as we call it Budějovický Budvar and then you have the American Budwesier. There has been an on going disagreement between the Czech and American companies arguing over the name rights. You can find a few articles on the net. Czech Budweiser in the United states is called Czechvar but in Europe it is still Budweiser. You can find it on Tesco. I would agree that the American Budwesier is a can off piss if you compare it to the Czech version.. but i would say that wouldn't I hehe

On www.beeradvocate.com

American bud: score 67 not recommended
Czech bud: score 87 good call

Quote from Blackout :

I know this will sound cheesy, but good food and time with the family is all I need for Xmas.

And S2Y!

I second that! Although because nearly all my family is abroad it will be just me and my mum, like it has been for the last 15 years. Always kinda feels lonely. I don't expect any presents this xmas so it will be just like any other ymas... *sigh*

mad

Wow, I don't check the forum whole day and look what i missed. Great stuff from ScaViEr. wow wow wow.. As I am getting no pressies this year, this is my pressie

Quote from danowat :

I went to the hospital, thinking they would just chuck a stitch or two in it, but they didn't stitch it, they bloody superglue'd it together!!!!.

Now, I had heard urban myths that the americans used superglue in WW2 for battlefield medicine, but I have never heard of it being used in civilian medicine, must be a new thing?

Hehe, maybe it is down to the NHS cost cutting and targets. The more people they superglue the more money they save

On a more serious note, I have heard of superglue being used too as a medical emergency but surely only as an emergency when you don't have anything else or you need a quick fix? I haven't really heard of it being used for deep cuts, i would have thought that stiches are better. Nothing surprises me though anymore.

They even recommend it for your emergency kit

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

NPCs urinating off of bridges

Haha, like how you squeezed that into your short description of the game.

Just watched a few videos, and my first impression is WOW HOLSY SHITE. That appeals to me much much more.....will keep an eye out for that one. Might find its way into my b-day pressies in march


cool stuff

Yeah haha! Nice vid.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

That approach to WoW only works if you know you enjoy real RP, i.e., creating a bg story, character traits etc. Personally I'd say if it's RP you want WoW is not for you. Go LOTRO instead or stick to older stuff.

Well I admit when looking at my game collection there are hardly any RP games there. I do own Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind which is a game i have spent ages playing. I even had X2 The Threat which i spend hour and hours playing. So I am open minded and play any genre but there are preferences.

When I was trying WoW i played it with an open mind, I created my character according to who I want to represent. The forest wizard was the best choice for me. The only problem I had was that it takes so long to get it going. The amount of walking and talking to people started to irritate me. I totally respect what the game is about and what it has achieved. Having 9m people play it is quite something but in my eyes it just didn't do anything to make me want to carry on playing. I was mainly put off by the cartoony look of it which disagreed with me from the start. I know an hour is not probably enough to get into WoW but I didn't want to waste any more time on it.

LOTR however looks a lot better with more realism , I have yet to try it though.
