  1. My mates are stuck over in sydney trying to get back from New Zeland, They're very possibly stuck there for the next 10 days
  2. The tyre hasnt got much wear left in it so I shall be changing both fronts at the same time. The guys at the local tyre place said that they reckoned it was fine to put back on for a couple of thousand more miles on it. I must say im not happy with the amount of potholes in our local area is terrible. one of the main streets in town had a pothole about 4 inches deep and about 3 feet wide in the middle of the road with cars parked on either side. Its been filled but the filling is now starting to get pulled up again and the hole is re-developing
  3. Well that road has just been resurfaced at the top where some of the potholes were over 6 inches deep and thats not an exaduration (I know bad spelling). lucky that so far it only seems to be a bent wheel no more damage from what we can tell so far but cost £10 for a new wheel and £10 to get the tyres switched around
  4. Sooooo my dad is taking my brothers mate home who lives a bit out in the sticks. Pitch black goes down a small valley type thing and smash hits a pothole, He said he heard and felt something not right so pulls over and look what he finds once hes changed the wheel [img]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f29/boatman111/16042010094.jpg[/img]
  5. That looks like an awesome App. Is it easy to make it work on the Nokia interface? The Ovi store for Nokia is crape not much on there at all. I have an iPod as well but its limited to only being able to access the internet with a Wi-Fi connection so the middle of a field is rather useless. It would also be useful for sailing when im at clubs although often they have Wi-Fi im normally rigging to far away to pick the forecast up. Never the less very cool App :-)

    Best covers

    >> This is one of my mates from school's band doing a cover of When You Were Young by the Killers. As far as i know it was done with little or nil editing sounded fairly similar when i saw them live was very impressed with them i must say. (Apologise for the video is was a competition they got entered into which i think they came third in!!) Stu
  7. Yeh was such a boring exam and they put in shite all about what they acctully taught us :-( we were continueslly bollocked by our teacher about writing strategies and only one small pricing strategy game up >:-(
  8. I must've done my business studies : Marketing at the same time as you.
  9. A' ok i stand corrected im but not entirely convinced about the corning i just dont think they have the mass to do it. At my sailing club we have 2 identical powerboats apart from one works and the other is really temprementle and needs towing frequently and with that kind of weight behind it the powerboat towing just cannot do the tight turns or even stops. I suppose in a sense a Jet-Ski might beable to tow it in a straight line but besides backing off the power around bends to loosen the weight on the tow line im not sure how well it will corner. It may be worth checking what the manufacturer says and maybe even see if they will do a test ride. I suspect the insurance on one of those things will be extorshonate (Spelling i know) as well as putting the petrol in as i also imagine running around pulling a ringo at full tilt isnt going to make it very fuel efficent. Stu
  10. As far as i know we need to take another test to beable to tow as ive wanted to a couple of boats and although my car cant take a tow bar i also cannot on my license. Also regarding the jet ski. 1) I would be surprised if its powerful enough to acctully pull the ringo they arnt really designed for it and if it can pull it in a straight line good luck turning corners youll need the atlantic ocean to spin something like that around. 2) On the insurance front it isnt a slick move not going with insurance. My grandad is in a yachting club and one of his mates had a jet ski plough into the side of them. From what I remember the boat had to have the RNLI out to keep the thing afloat with 2 pumps on full tilt. The guy on the ski had to pay all the damage for the boat to be fixed and trust me yacths/any type of glass fibre boat are not cheap to repair. I've just had my 4 metre dinghy repaired after a small crash where the fibre glass layers came apart and the other guys insurance company got a nice bill of £300 for something that needed very little repair work.
  11. I do A-Level Chemistry and thats all just a pile of crap. Thats almost an insult to Chemistry. Hydrogen can only form 1 bond so by default with 2 hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule the only form it can take is H-O-H. The only possible way that still seems completely impractical is if H-O-H molecule is broken to H(2) and a O molecule and then in the engine these are recombined to produce H-O-H but even that way just seems competly impractical. Its like with the extraction of metal its only an ore if money can be made on extracting the metal. Therefore this should only work if the amount of energy produced is more than the amount of energy required to make this "Amazing" new fuel. I have my doubts -.-
  12. I used to have a big jar of marmite that took me so long to get through by the time i did it was 2 years out of date but still tasted fine :-)
  13. I'm trying to get away from ASDA mobile. Their coverage around my town is diabolical the only place i can get a decent enough signal to acctully understand someone on the other end of a call is right by my bedroom window. No where downstairs has a signal and almost everywhere in town has no signal at all. :-/
  14. Best watch out insurance will rocket i imagine as soon as those points hit the license. You might be offered a 1 day course and the £60 fine my mate at school got pulled doing something like 36 in a 30 and got offered the course so he managed to keep his lisence clean.
  15. Thats Genius ^^ I got a bucket from my parents that has all the stuff in so i can clean my car and apprently theres as well >:-(
