Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien

-5C this morning here. My car was covered in frost, so I switched the engine on, put front and rear heated screens on, scraped the driver and passenger door windows, got back in the car, wiped the by now melted frost off the windscreen and off to work I go. The roads were quite icey this morning too.

Indeed, so what's the difference between that, and saving the £10 a week until you need to fill up, then filling up fully with the saved money. = less trips to the station.

I'm the kind of person who really struggles to save money so best to put it in while I have it.

Reading the comments about vpower... I may have to try some of that. I usually use Morrisons unleaded (95RON i think) because it's the cheapest in the area. (101.9p per litre)

There's a Total petrol station within 200yds of my house which has their expensive 'super unleaded' petrol...anybody got any idea what's that like?

oh, and in reply to a few other posts: from empty it costs about £47 to fill my car

Also I always have a chuckle at people who put £5/£10/£20 of petrol in their car - what's the point?! You're only going to have to fill it up sooner than if you filled it up to the brim, so why don't you?

i only fill up with £10 at a time because that's all I can afford. I get paid on a weekly basis and I'm on minimum wage, and £10 of petrol a week does me nicely. Does it not cross your mind that's maybe all people can afford at any 1 time?

Can't drive in the little car park before the last corner on chicane course(circled on attached pic), yet can drive in there on Classic (not tried other configs, but presume they all still work like previous patches).

It's nothing major, it's just a good place to hide when the races finish

This was Consett at 12:30 this afternoon. The fog isn't actually fog, but it's the snow falling... Pic was taken on my phone.




I've been out driving in it, none of the roads have been gritted so they're very very slippery, I did have fun doing some handbrake turns though.

Quote from ajp71 :

Or alternatively if I copy the games from my old PC will Steam be able to recognize them and save the downloading?

Yep that works without problems, just copy the entire SteamApps folder, and all should work fine.

It did for me when I got a new hard drive anyway

I mean, there's alot of people seemingly thinking it's coming out today.

I can see alot of disapointed people tonight.

The Automatic - Lost at Home

Why are people getting excited when there's no release date set?

I'm confused. :\

and there was you saying about a week or 2 ago that you don't want your new computer anymore because you can happily play LFS at 60fps instead of 20000000000fps that you're getting now....



Anyway... I'd like Santa to bring me one of these:
Sony CDX-GT610 CD/MP3 in-car head unit
and all the wires and facia plate to go with it.

Quote from Bladerunner :

Anyway, serves you right for driving a car in BrummieLand with " I LUV THE TOON" on a bumper sticker...

Nah, the only sticker that says it's from this area is in the back window saying "Holloways Ford, Durham"

Brummies don't have anything against people from Oxford, do they Bladey? the first 2 letters on the numberplate are OY, that's an Oxford plate.
