Gives me the heebie-jeebies when I find, for instance, a public figure such as a doctor, who I obviously cannot dismiss as being uneducated, with a deep belief in religion. It all stems from the parents, with everything. My girlfriend does not like seafood, 'did your parents not cook you seafood when you were growing up'? 'no, they never'. But I bet you if her parents fed her peanut butter when she was young, innocent and maleable she would eat peanut butter to this day. What I'm trying to say is when a child is developing its easy for somebody to instill a belief or like or dislike in that person. Then that person grows up and does the same to their child, or children. Then they do it and it grows. Which ultimately is why we get large followings of people believing in something. If my dad told me the world was going to end when OP said, and kept telling me when I was younger, I would most likely be arguing with you now saying it was going to end.

During the forum downtime it made me realise how much I browse this forum and lurk around. A piece of me was missing...

Well, I'd better start asking for forgiveness. 'I didn't mean to destroy the ozone layer with my 350z, melt the polar icecaps caps and harm the penguins'. Just with the Mayan prediction, it was released to be tosh. The stars are interesting don't get me wrong. But if you stare at anything long enough, drops of water on a pain of glass, your mind forms shapes and constellations. We will find out, at least the date is achievable and not too far away, meaning we will both find out fairly shortly.

I also use my S7 Edge for work, I too am impressed with the camera and I take 30+ images on a daily basis for marketing purposes online. So in essence it has replaced my camera too, the lighting (most important bit) is easy to adjust using the slider and multi focus is brilliant. It performs better than most mid range cameras. The pictures it takes (highest res setting) is actually overkill and they are too big for their purpose so I need to resize to 800x600 to avoid any buffering online. No doubt the S8 will be better, but in a years time there will most likely be an S9 which outdoes that. Technology is advancing quick, cramming lots of tech and processing power into a tiny package.

My friend however had a Nintendo 64 and I remember going round to his to play a game which involved a man flying a dragon within a two dimensional game. Does anyone know what this game was?

I wasn't allowed a Nintendo 64 or Sega Mega Drive. Too much money. I remember back in like 1996 I asked my mum for a remote control car which I saw on a TV advert, it could jump over things with the press of a button. £39.99 it was... I wasnt allowed that either I did however have a ps1 and a wealth of demo games my friends gave me which they got with gaming magazines. They were quite fun as you got about 6 different games per disc. I remember playing crash bandicoot and grand theft auto (the bird's-eye view original one) and Duke Nukem. Thinking back... I don't know how I got those games because my mother wouldn't have let me get them haha

I've never heard of these oneplus phones. How would you say they compare to the likes of Samsung in terms of ease of use, build quality and performance?

I've got an s7 edge and find it perfectly capable of what I want it to do. Smart phone history -iPhone 3gs -Samsung galaxy s3 -Samsung galaxy s5 (only had for a month) -Samsung galaxy s7 edge So you can see I don't upgrade all too often, I found my S3 to be struggling to keep up performance wise and getting long in the tooth. Bought a refurbed s5 for £200 in eBay and was quite happy with it. Certainly an improvement. Then my boss offered me a brand new in box s7 edge as he bought it and decided he didn't like android and is an apple person at heart. So I bought that for about £250 or so, I couldn't say no. Sold my s5 to my brother for £100 and he is quite satisfied with it. So as you can see, I don't change unless there's a noticeable gap from what I have to what I'm upgrading to. I'd stick with the S7

You mean the cat heatshields? Mine are pretty much half a heat shield each as they've rusted away. I haven't got round to removing them altogether or replacing them. Some members have removed them completely I believe.

I got driven round three sisters in Wigan in an atom at full pelt, I quite enjoyed that. You could feel traction to the rear wondering whether to step out but obviously the driver didn't let it, keeping it on the limit. My girlfriend has driven my car, a few times. I get nervous. Lol

I would use something to try and break up the carbon deposits like paint thinner or tar and glue remover. I'd start small with a scouring pad rather than go straight for the wire brush attachment. You don't wanna scratch the insides to bits but you may have to in the end...

If it sat lower and the front end wasnt so pointy it would look pretty good I think. Bit as it stands, some things cannot be unseen. Kinda like Ricey in his hot pants.

Maybe an item like a beanbag soaked with some firm of cat repellant and just lay it on the roof when you park. Maybe in a piece of bin liner if it's well saturated as not to stain the roof. Iv never had that problem before but I have a coupe! Neighbors cat likes to lay in my flowerbeds.

Die Hard's Bruce Willis 'yippee kay yay' moment sprung to mind. As Alex said, as long as exhaust doesn't ignite it you should be find to the garage. Strange how it's happened after being dry stored.

I wonder if he's the same diameter as that tailpipe

Il have to look into etherium, I know there are litecoin and other crypto currencies but btc is the gold standard so to speak. My main interest is which platforms or forth coming platforms will take etherium as payment.

It could've gone the other way, they could've plumeted to 400 because the Chinese government declared them non legal tender (already happened). But the bet wouldn't be off so to speak. They will rise again. Who is to say they won't be worth 50k a unit in four years time. I strongly feel it's possible and likely. I'm tempted. If I didn't cash out years ago I would be loaded now.

If you invested in btc two months ago when they were 700 a unit you could've cashed out this week at 2,100 a unit that's 100% return in two months. Fluctuates rapidly.

Il need to get some, next month in gonna refurb my alloys. I have them bronze at the moment and I'm not too keen on the colour

On the topic of sleeping - apparently iv been talking a lot during my sleep, sitting up, shouting, panicking. In the middle of the night. Thing is, I can't remember any of it. Kinda like night terrors. I can't remember what I dreamt about either. Probably Ekona's 'nukes are coming' thread.

I just had a car cleaned on Wednesday and by Thursday it was similar to yours. It was a white Astra. They mustn't like white cars. I don't know how they've managed to get that coverage.

Doc will prescribe Zopiclone if you are suffering with sleep. Just be wary, you may think you've been asleep when in fact you've been sat up playing Angry Birds all night in a zombified state and don't remember a thing. Still, you'll feel as if you've had a great sleep.

Wow somebody went through all that trouble to steal your interior trim? I know of organised gangs who target brand new BMW dashboards so they can clock older cars and who steal Audi RS alloys as they are worth a fortune... But who steals a zed dash! Anyway I hope you manage to get it sorted swiftly and I hope bad fortune comes upon those who nicked it.

The Movie Ex Machina is a good robot sci-fi. If you haven't watched it I suggest you do. Alicia Vikander...

Guys, once we get robot doctors you might actually be able to have an appointment within a week!
