  1. Keep finding recently that some animal is using my garden as it's loo. Nice pile of yellow coloured poo in the morning. Anyone know if this is fox or more likely another cat or something. Not too pleasant when you stand in it as its usually in the grass.

    New F&F trailer

    It was going well untill Vin thought it best to drive into and under a rolling fireball of a truck. In my driving test, my instructor always said reverse up out the way if a truck of fire should come rolling at you. still looking forward to seeing the film tho.... Carl
  3. Just to update this thread. after talking to Phones4U in Cheltenham where I purchased my mobile I ended up wasting my breath for about ten minutes speaking to some young girl with no telephone skills. all she could say was, " Our policy is, your phone must be returned at least three times to be fixed before your will be entitled to a new replacement phone." I explained that I was not happy with this as the phone had already been returned twice at my inconvenience and still was not fit for purpose. I was clearly getting know where as she kept going over the same line. I eventually spoke to Phones4U head office where i at least got a more professional women who at least listened. Although she did admit that the three times repair was the general policy she decided on this occasion to give me a like for like brand new exchange phone. given the hassle so far, I accepted this while the going was good. I collected my new phone today so fingers crossed that this one does not have the same fault. Thing that still annoys me, even today at the shop collecting the new mobile, the girl just kept saying how lucky I was to get a new phone. Most customers dont apparently. I was thinking, what has luck got to do with it. Anyone would think tey were doing me a big favour replacing my faulty phone.. On a side note, the head office told me that they were aware of a samsung fault with a batch of this particular model. Despite that informaton, I was greatly honoured by Phones4U's great generosity.

  4. I bought this a while back after visiting Vegas as these foot massagers are all the rage. If you run or play sport that causes aches then this really is th ideal tool for you. Ten minutes of massage an you will feel refreshed. Now I dont play sport and like many items I buy, it was bought on a whim. It has been used ahand full of times and is still like new. I payed about £200 at the time. Looking for £80 plus delivery. Pickup would be even better. Site below fr more info. http://www.1stcomfort.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FOOTMAS
  5. As title, I have an express Card for sale. Its an N series. Only been used a few times. £11 delivered via paypal. carl
  6. I had a V6 CDX version. Absolutely loved the car, beautifull ride quality but it was just so thirsty. My Supra done more MPG I think. I would consider another with LPG tho.
  7. I dont know how accurate it is but i was told you can stick the BMW Mini Supercharger on those engines to which can take the car between 200-250bhp. You can pick the superchargers up on Ebay secondhand for as little as £50.
  8. No, its a Samsung Tocca (480). I have had about 6 Samsung's in a row and never had problems untill this one. It's just awfull, not only does it drop calls, it is difficult to hear people on the earphone which seems to attenuate all by itself. It's a shame as its quite a nice phone but now I have lost confidence in it.
  9. Just wondering if anyone knows my rights on this before I go back to the shop I bought my mobile phone from. Basicaly, I entered into a new contract with a new phone about 3 months ago. Now it had problems with dropping calls regular regardless of where i was or who to. I had the phone software updted at the phone shops recomendation. This made no difference so the phone shop sent it back for repair. It was gone another week and returned only to find it still drops calls. Just to add insult to injury, I have a cheap £20 Nokia that I use in the mean time which is perfect and never loose calls so it is clearly the phone and not the reception/areas etc. So, now I do not want to go through this agian, I want to change my phone for a different model all together as I am not happy with it anymore. Do I have the right to ask for another phone or must I just accept yet another repair or replacement of the same phone? Carl
  10. Do you have adrivers side seatbelt, assumibg the spring is working ok. Mine does not retract back very well anymore. Carl
  11. Likewise, I guy was on the radio earlier saying he had been made redundant. He now has a mortgage & bills to pay as well as a family to support and because he has worked for his current employers for less than two years he is entitled to sweet FA. These are the sort of areas that need adrressing in this country. It's about time the working class who are the backbone of this country were recognised and supported. Carl
  12. Likewise, Im getting more and more concerned that the Supra is going to get the BMW 3 series/ subaru image. That tar sticks.
  13. You know, i dont even know what half the machines are called, ill take a note and come back to you in the week on this. As for diet, 1.Breakfast(Shreddies & all bran) in the morning-7.30am 2.often bar of chochalate/bag of crisp-9.30am 3.Hot meal-works cantine(not fatty foods)-12.30pm 4.Bannana or Crisps before a train-6.30pm 5.Main cooked dinner eveing-8.00pm I dont actually eat a lot of greasy foods, dont really like chips too much, mainly eat chicken/pork/lamb/fish and veg. Some pasta etc. Not all at once of course. Probably my worse dinner for fat will be sausages and mash. Its not a balanced diet as such but I dont think its too un healthy although eating differently might be essential to my omprovement I guess. As far a sthe excersises I do I attend to follow the same course everytime which involves a mix of rowing/running and weights. The heaviest I lift is the bench press at 100kg. These are air machines so dont know how accurate the gauges are. Most of the other excersides which I will note when I find out what they are called I do around the 50kg mark. I generally do 20 reps of everything. On a bad night this can be a struggle at around 15. I do 10 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes running machine. Carl
  14. Hi Axle, You seem to be more clued up and judging by your avatar(if thats you) look like your having the desired effect. I have been exercising a measly twice a week for around 40 minutes. In this time I go through a set of routines, the same every time I go. I have hit a point where I cannot seem to improve, eg, I feel like I have hit my limit at present. Ill be honest, I probably could work harder but working out by myself you dont get the boost to go that bit further from say a mate. I am not a big build anyway, I weighed about 10.5 stone last year and exercising even my small amount has bulked me up to 11.5 stone. I am much happier with my shape but really want to improve in areas like my chest and arms. Do you have any suggestions on routine and should I be eating or taking some supllements now as I feel I run out of strength some nights. Others I can fly through my routine, is this odd? Any help appreciated as I want to push forward this year.
  15. Thats not right, The body kit I might have accepted for a typical Chav driver but that bonnet scoop just tips the scales. [OOPS][/OOPS]

  17. "I will take Bangkok dangerous and Jumper mate, how does £20 sound? let me know and I will send payment by paypal immediately" call it £22 and its a deal Vaughany, providing you come back in time as I have someone else interested in Bangkok Dangerous.
  18. That sounds fine. If you could send payment to my paypal which is [email protected] I'll get them posted Monday. Cheers Carl

  21. as has been said, in the format war Blu-ray won so effectively HD-DVD become obsolete. That means that no new films will be released on the HD-DVD format but there are still hundreds of cheap bargains out there now. I personaly have both HD-DVD & Bluray and still buy up some HD-DVD bargains when i see some. If you want to be able to buy all the latest films in HD then you need to by a Blu-ray player or Playstation3.
  22. I thought maybe I missed the Single Turbo bit somewhere.
  23. Does this sound right, 401BHP on a twin turbo at 0.7 bar? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-TWIN-TURBO-401BHP_W0QQitemZ200290756194QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item200290756194&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
  24. my wires go up the wall and over the ceiling although I had mine fitted when the house was being built but Im sure its not impossible to do if you are prepared to take up carpets & floorboards upstairs.
