    Real Madrid vs. F.C. Barcelona

    Anything that stops them trying to lure Steven Gerrard away is fine by me, with the bonus of getting Viera out of the premiership. I am getting worried about Chelsea now though, with the money at thier disposal and Mourinho at the helm they may end up with a squad to rival Real Madrid's with...

    Taking out the trash

    Thats why I love living on my own! The only downside is that the only person to blame for all the mess is me.

    Real Madrid vs. F.C. Barcelona

    It didn't look as if Ronaldo and Raul were even on the pitch. Zidane hardly did anything and Figo although good in spurts always seemed to try and do everthing himself. I also think Figo and Zidane are pretty much past it for playing weeke in week out especially at such a high tempo game such as...

    Question about McDonald Burgers..

    Are you mad??? the things that taste good about McD's burger is the salad/bun/sauce they have. Try taking the 'burger' out and trying it on it's own, it resembles cardboard, but without the flavour.

    I'm tired of companies playing "stupid"

    Here's another vote for that. I watch one channel from the basic package, 2 occasionally from the extended package, 1 'speciality' channel that I pay for separately and a couple in the HD package. I must go and cancel my movie channel subscription now I use a DVD rental place...

    *** Official SAW Discussion Thread

    I liked this film and found it a bit of fresh air after a lot of this years films. I thought it brought with it some new idea's rather than a by the number rehash. Unfortunately it was let down by some pretty poor acting. The only parts of the story I really didn't like was how Detective Tapp...

    Science Question about air in a air tight container

    I'm assuming your original size was measured in feet, so the room has a volume of 800 cubic feet. then according to this site we multiply that by 28.32 to get litres, so the room contains 22656 litres of air. If we take the assumption (which is incorrect) that we breathe each litre of air in...

    Science Question about air in a air tight container

    I don't think that your diving calculations will work in this situation as you have presented. I assume these calculations are used for diving where you breathe in the air, then that volume is taken away (since in diving when you breathe out that air does not go back into your tank). In this...

    Just saw Team America

    I saw this last night and loved it, was laughing most of the way through it. Although I liked it I can see Rob A's point of view, I don't really watch south park, but I watch it occasionally and like it (I don't watch any tv show regularly, if I did South PArk would probably be one of them). I...

    Opening a shop..

    I would also take cafeful consideration of what brands you carry. Some brands (usually higher end ones) protect thier dealers. For instance if you look to buy an infocus projector you can only (or I've only seen) buy the 4805 HT projector online, all others if you can buy online can only be...

    Can't wait for the Razzies!!!!

    I know what you mean. I sort of enjoyed Riddick in a perverse sort of way and I watched houses of the dead on tv the other night for the same sort of laugh. I'm thinking of going to see AvP despite me thinking it's going to be bad.

    *** Official THE BOURNE SUPREMACY Discussion Thread

    I saw the film a few days ago and liked it a lot. I seem to be among the minority, but I also liked the 'shaky-cam'. Most of the story is seen through Bourne's eye's and unlike the feelings expressed by some on here he does not have super human powers he sees things (and not everything) in real...

    Turtle story?

    In Discworld The world (Discworld that is) is sat upon the back of 4 great elephants which in turn stand on the back of a turtle (called Great A'Tuin I think). I thought this was all from Pratchett's mind, I wasn't aware that it was based on any myth? do you have any other reference for this...

    The Village (2004)

    Well I saw this a couple of nights ago and my veridct is distinctly average. As some have mentioned before I found the 'twist' more of a natural evolution than a surprising twist. Quite early on I thought someone in the village was controling the 'things of which we do not speak' for thier own...

    Infocus Screenplay 5700 vs. 7205

    I'll probably be doing the same thing, but with a 4805 and 5700 in a few weeks (in toronto). I was originally looking more at 5700 and 7205, which I probably could stretch to, but it would mean cut backs in other areas. Even a fwe weeks ago I was looking at more the 5700 range, but other...

    *** Official KING ARTHUR Discussion Thread

    I saw this the other night and thought it was ok. After seeing the trailers and the reviews I wasn't hoping for much so went in with low expectations. As always when watching a film like this (or Gladiator, Braveheart, Monty Python and the Holy Grail) I don't expect it to be historically...

    Sony Wega 36 inch repair advice

    I'd look at non authorized repair shops. If you can find anyone in your area with a recommendation of a repair shop I would trust that more than an authorized dealer alone. For the ones you mentioned I'd be tempted to go with the first. The second one charges equivalent of almost 3 hours work...

    Toshiba 36HF73???

    I have the Toshiba 30HF83C I think it is. It's a 30" widescreen HD TV. I'm very happy with it, the HD pic quality is great. I didn't do much back to back comparisons, but when I bought it (about 8 months ago I think) there wasn't much competition. The equivalent prices sony set wasn't HD, the...

    new projector around $5000CAD (approx $3500-$4000US)

    CRT is not really an option, I'm living in a rented apartment at the moment and the crt's are too bug, plus I don't want to go making any holes in the ceiling to mount it. The other thing is that none of the stores I've looked in have crt's for demo and I'm a bit unwilling to buy blind or on...

    new projector around $5000CAD (approx $3500-$4000US)

    Cheers for the suggestions so far. Frank - I didn't think the infocus 5700 would be in budget, but it looks as if it may just sneak in so I'll definitely check that one out since there is a dealer not too far away. Max - the $5k is really a limit, well I could go a few hundred over, but...

    new projector around $5000CAD (approx $3500-$4000US)

    Hi all. I've been kicking around this forum for a couple of years now, just not in this particular section really. Anyways the time has come to finally buy a projector and as the thread title suggests I'm looking to spend about $5000 Canadian (at current exchange rates that comes in at around...

    Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    Totally agree with that. Too many sequels have gone down following this route (Matrix, Blade recently spring to mind). What a sequen needs to do is see why the first film was so good and continue doing this. In Spidermans case it was the character development, the story (good script/dialogue)...

    Spider-Man 2 (2004)

    An Excellent film and at least the equal of the first one. I thought the ending was a bit weak (doc ock drowning with the fusion ball) after what came before in the film.

    Now this is how you run from the cops

    As I said before no one is arguing that fir under 20k the fastest thing you can buy new has 2 wheels. But once up to 50 or 60k (which is what 35k sterling is approx) then you will have cars that can beat it. The Caterham according to this article has the world record for 0 to 100mph to 0...

    Now this is how you run from the cops

    no one is argueing that a honda civic is going to beat an R1, but if you are going to compare a sports bike then at least compare it to a sports car. I mentioned this in an earlier post that for the money bikes are faster. To answer your post a bit. Some cars (that are cheaper than you may...

    Best King Arthur film?

    I suspected this thread had been started to see if there was anything to compare the soon to be released King Arthur against. I saw a trailer for it in the cinema and it all looked to be going ok until Mr Deep Voiceover said something like - "Before Guinivere was a queen she was a warrior" -...

    Now this is how you run from the cops

    In the past I have ridden bikes and cars and as much as I want to believe that it ain't true. In a straight line bikes have really bad aerodynamics compared to cars so the cars will have higher top speeds, but die to better power to weight ratio bikes are generally quicker from a standing...

    Euro 2004

    Even in UK I thikn it may have been disallowed. The keepers all over the world are over protected (in my opinion). IMHO when 2 players are going for a 50-50 ball neither should get special protection regardless of if they are the keeper, but that is not the way it is played. As soon as the...
