Not sure if it qualifies as "out of the ordinary", but I like cinnamon toast.

3. apply sugar and cinnamon powder
4. toast it

Banning people from participating in politics is a dangerous route. Opening that door would make it possible to ban anyone for any random reason.
The real question is, why do people keep voting for the same parties over and over again? Lots of people complain about their government, yet every time the same parties get elected. It happens basically in every western country.
The same goes for the EU elections. Lots of people disagree with how the EU is developing (as seen by the rejection of the EU Constitution by several countries), but we still ended up having a communist as the president of the European Commission who managed to remove the elected governments of Greece and Italy. Also he didn't care too much about the rejection of the constitution, so he just renamed it, called it the Lisbon Treaty and forced it through anyway.
As long as people keep voting for the same old parties, things won't change.
I think it has something to do with how the media interacts with politicians. During the campaigns you only see the politicians speak about their ideology, but that's not necessarily what they're about to do when they get elected. It would be nice if the media would dig trough the programs and find the hidden caveats instead of hosting those useless show debates. The hidden caveats are usually far more important.
When you're looking for a new TV you can find everything about it easily including independent reviews, but when it comes to something important as voting for your government there's hardly any in-depth information presented at all. Suddenly you'll have to read the fine print in the 300 page manual to find out that the VGA input of your TV doesn't support HD resolutions.

UKIP isn't really a single issue party anymore, although most of their standpoints are related to poor EU decisions. Take a look at some of their youtube channels: europarl, ukipmedia and ukipmeps.
I do think they rely a bit too much on Nigel Farage. He's great, but the other members don't seem to say much. Or at least it doesn't appear on youtube.

Cheap immitation battery for...
Unfortunately the phone doesn't want to charge it... What's even worse is that I hacked together a battery pack from some random NiMH cells and that works fine, including charging.
5 NiMH cells, 1 resistor and 1 NTC. How hard can it be...
illepalledit:
Turns out the idiots didn't use an NTC but a diode... Also they didn't bother putting a thermal fuse inside. Who needs safety features anyway.

My watch has a wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F91W
The only annoyance is that the strap breaks quite easily. The clock itself seems to last forever.

Bought an Ati HD6970 from my year-end bonus. It doesn't fit, so now i'll have to go to the shop again for a new case.

I would love to see the face of my employer when one of those retards would apply for a job and he looked them up on twitter (yes, he does that). Could be an explanation for the increasing youth unemployment 
The quoted weight is for the frame only, not the whole bicycle.
I don't think many Americans used a bicycle anyway. If I remember correctly the percentage of all travels done by bicycle doesn't even reach 1%.

Bought a Daikin 2kw, it's in a small bedroom.
One of the connectors was leaking though, so now it needs to be refilled :grumpy: Oh well, I didn't even know they came prefilled.
Imagine? Plenty of tv's already have stuff like this built in. My Samsung tv has the same ARM11 processor with 256MB or 512MB ram (don't know the exact specs), running linux. It plays HD video from a USB key or LAN and comes with several internet apps like Youtube and Vimeo.
You don't need the original files anymore, there are free opensource alternatives available 
Exactly. And it isn't just the looks either, most radios also feel extremely cheap. So far the only reasonably good looking aftermarket HU's I could find are Becker HU's. Too bad those are also ungodly expensive.
Proprietary VW connector on one side and proprietary Apple connector on the other, sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. I bet if you can find one it'll cost as much as a new radio.
Let me rewrite this to reflect reality...
The Pulse Scout 49cc road scooter offers even worse build quality and reliability than it's European rivals. With a 4 stroke engine straight from the USSR this is ideal for people who like to gain experience in rebuilding their moped after every ride.
What do you consider an electric car? 4kw is roughly the power of a golf cart
Also be aware that the current a motor draws depends on it's load, not on it's rated power. Without a current limiting motor controller it might easily draw 10x it's rated power, but you can probably guess what will happen then.

I have one of those Praktica MTL5 slr cameras somewhere. "The portable iron curtain".
I'm also still wearing that Casio digital watch, #1 on page 92. Of course mine isn't 25 years old, but they are still in production
They even sell for about the same price

They even sell for about the same price Depending on the quality of the IMU/autopilot it may be a reasonably good deal. A Futaba flybarless system costs roughly the same, and that doesn't even include the airframe. Keep in mind that quadrotors are not stable at all, the only way to keep them properly stable is a good IMU.
Oh well, why am I even trying to defend the price of this thing. Some people spend this kind of money on a friggin' plastic car bumper. At least this thing contains some new technology.
edit: Even worse, http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=71714 , 400gbp for a license plate which does absolutely nothing at all.
