  • Interests
    My main interest is my business which consists of me doing something I genuinely enjoy. Apart from this I enjoy many things, including obviously shooting (although I am relatively new to the sport). Other interests include; travelling, walking, scuba diving, gaming, socialising.
  1. I have always used a PC, but a few months back a change means I have to use a mac during the day. Personally I don't know why someone would consciously choose to do it :-) In any case, for email I use Mozilla Thunderbird on the PC and the Mac, which also has an import feature which will allow you to keep all your settings and folders etc. Also if you use mail across your devices, you should consider using IMAP (if you don't already) in which case set up you folders at the service provider end and everything will always be the same and synced no matter what device or email app you use.
  2. I have Netflix if you go for it you can use unblockus to get a better catalogue with a bit of setup, but I find I have to switch it on and off for some programmes which are uk only. The stream quality is great though. The problem with films on the UK versions of both is that sky have most of the rights with the studios in the UK.
  3. From all accounts I have heard people generally prefer one or the other because of how they fit as standard. Pretty sure they have different stock shapes so it is likely you would shoot better with one over the other if it naturally mounted well. Of course I could be totally wrong :-)
  4. I can't remember all the names of the top of my head, but you should look at the ones designed for extreme sports and being attached to motorcycle helmets. The best one is probably the Go-Pro (used a lot for TV as well) although it is also the most expensive. There are cheaper options about. Do you have a budget in mind, maybe I could have a look at the ones I was looking at to see if they fit in your price range.
  5. Thanks for this, I had some breasts given to me from doing my first days beating last week and did this with it but using mature cheddar instead of Stiliton and it was bloody lovely. The first time my wife has had Pheasant and she loved it so much she wants it for xmas now. Thanks again. Stuffed Pheasant breast wrapped in Bacon. by XD2net, on Flickr
  6. I have for sale 2 HP Monitors, they are in great condition and really nice clear screens. I will provide links to the HP product page for each below. They both have built in speakers and come with: Power Cable USB Extension Cable Speaker Cable I can also provide a VGA, HDMI or DVI cable with each monitor just let me know your preferred input (the W2207H doesn't have DVI input). HP W2207H: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c01182749 HP 2229H: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01848460&product=3945542 They really are great monitors and I would personally keep them but according to the wife 5 monitors and only 2 computers is overkill. I would like £90each will consider offers on both. Pick-up (From Tameside, SK15) preferred as they are a weighty item to post (Could possibly deliver locally). If you want to see them working when you pick them up that can be arranged no problem. They are listed on another forum also. Thanks for looking.

    learner on a 125cc

    If you do the CBT you can ride the 125 with L plates on if you don't pass your Restricted Access or Direct Access within 2 years you have to do the CBT again. The Motorcycle Provisional Entitlement is nearly always put on your licence anyway, but do check.

    Breackfast.

    I am actually full just looking at it, when is the next UK Man V Food? He said WITH 3 mates = 4 people
  9. Sorry for the delay I had to ring him to get it, the firm was Sandersons in Colchester, Essex (http://www.sandersons.co.uk/) not sure if that is local enough for most of you. I confirmed what he got, and they gave him a free consultation and told him if the idea was viable or not. They then offered to manage the whole submission for a fee, but also told him exactly how to do it himself for just the IPO costs. So I was slightly wrong above, but still free professional advice is always a bonus. He did just say it was definitely worth his time for the advice he got. Hope it helps.
  10. That video is amazing, I thought about doing time-lapse with my DSLR but after seeing that I won't bother as I will never think it looks good now :-)
  11. My Dad put in a patent for an idea he had late last year and he found a solicitor who specialised in patents, they offered free consultation and submitted the paper work for him as part of that free consultation, he just paid the IPO fee. They do it on the basis they will get paid work at later stages, but it is a great way to get free professional advice.

    Home Insurance!!

    My insurance covers all items under £1500 also without listing them and as my gun isn't worth more than that this is why I didn't mention it, the same as I didn't individually mention all the TV's in my house worth less. I didn't really think of it being a problem to be honest. I haven't noticed anything in the T&C's that state firearms etc. I am also covered for off the property, so I presumed I am allright, but I might re-read the info.

    Home Insurance!!

    I haven't mentioned it to mine, although one question that also brought the premium down was "Do you have a lockable safe in your property?" to which I replied yes
  14. I was there again today also, first time in a while doing a round on my own, really enjoyed the changes on some of the stands. Strange to think how many people from here I must unknowingly walk past when out :-)
  15. Churchill was doing the same to my father-in-law for years until I told him I could get it him cheaper. Then they dropped the price by about 40% for him to keep him on board. At the end of the day all they care about is the money they can get, they couldn't care less what you actually need or can afford.
