What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

^^^ Can't quite make out the detail on the labels, can you make them a bit bigger? ^^^

My phone only seems to like the 'fucking huge' setting for its camera...

When you upload to a pc hosting site, there should be a 'display settings' whch should ask you how large the picture should be displayed. Most tend to pick 640x480 or something similar.

There usually is but I uploaded to yfrog straight from tweetdeck. I use my phone regularly for proper photographs so not worth fiddling for one thing...

Got a right result at WHSmith today.

 

Bought this:

 

 

For £6.99

 

And a Lee Child paperback novel for £7.99.

 

Luckily the dozy trollop on the till was so busy asking if I wanted to buy half price Galaxy chocolate for £1 and then 1p for a carrier bag that she forgot to charge me for the novel!

 

Nearly 8 quid saved!!

T Shirt for Winna's

[eddyramrod]

I just had a quick browse on there, Moog. You swine! I'm so tempted by the Sweeney shirt! Damn you man, I'm broke for weeks yet!

 

"We're The Sweeney son, and we haven't had any dinner!" Right up there with "Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well do ya?" and streets, hell whole counties ahead of "Fire up the Quattro!" (just plain wrong) or "I'm having Hoops!" (not quite menacing enough, even delivered by Philip Glenister).

Already got one... it tends to get bizarre looks. Mine is pale blue on white and is fuggin ace. Top quality, delivery is pretty swift and the guys over there cannot come highly enough recommended.

Talking of limited editions, this arrived today

 

 

 

 

 

That's my evenings sorted for the next few weeks

[CIH]

I'll probaly get GoW3 eventually. Maybe when it's down to ~£15 or so. I'm too tight/skint to pay proper money for games nowadays.

[MrDuke]

I've never ever paid full price for games (or much else for that matter) - waiting a couple of weeks at most for the first used ones to get on the shelf will save around a tenner, waiting another month or so will save 15-20 quid, depending on the game. Obviously it's different if you want a limited edition like dat wun ^^^^^ , also if you're big on online gaming it's nice to get stuff asap (assuming you have plenty of friends to play against, I wouldn't know... )

[TimothyClaypole]

Another month and BF3 will be here for me.

[Negative Creep]

Virtually every single game I own is second hand, I will normally shop in Gamestation in the "2 for £20" section. This however I had to buy. At, ahem, £59.99. Well it was my birthday so why not treat myself?

[CIH]

fook dude £60 for a game and some associated tat ?

[Negative Creep]

Thinking about it the last new game I bought was Gears 2. Gives me an excuse to stop playing fallout 3 as well (which is just insanely addictive, logged over 100 hours of game time thus far.....)

[Cavcraft]

Actually got off my fat arse and took my daughter to the footie. Forgot how much I missed it tbh, won 3-0 but missed the last goal as were legging it back to the carpark.

[Guest]

 

Won some NOS goodies for my Amazon.

 

And then realised I had won four, not two of them. I've wanted a set of these for AGES. Plan is to sell a pair of them for ££££ and carry on as normal.

Ah, but Fallout 3 is only single player. That's not to mention I've only completed the game with a female "good" character. Still need to play as a male, and an an evil avatar, and............I really need a girlfriend

[M'coli]

So you can play the 2-player game?

[yes oui si]

The CD player at work is sufficiently fucked that the only one that it will play out of the 100+ here is Bob Marley's Exodus...

Government plans to increase the National speed limit to 80mph by the end of 2013,

Apparently not final yet but seems likely to go ahead.

I'm not happy about that at all. 2CV can do 70. 2CV can not do 80. I'll have to wave goodbye to being able to do the motorway limit!

Fallout 3 is the finest game of EVAH.

 

That is all.

I'm all for gradual changes and all that, but why does it have to take them 26 months to change a speed limit which is not even displayed on any signals???

[MrDuke]

[pedant] It is displayed on some dual-carriageways. I know there's definitely some "70" signs on the A55 around Conwy [/pedant]

 

But yeah, nowhere near enough to warrant a 2-year delay. Probably just legal red-tape etc

[Cavcraft]

Mr Duke is correct.

 

Would suggest they don't actually need any '70 mph' signs as the national speed limit (white circal with black diagonal stripe) sign would suffice.

[yes oui si]

Hang on... That makes the 'plus 10%' limit 88mph!
