I went from a Samsung 55" to a Samsung 65" a few years ago. Bigger is definitely better.

Who else is going to Silverstone this weekend then? I am! Me and a couple of lads from work are going. One of whom is a former Silverstone employee so is local, so we're staying at his house for the weekend. Im taking my PS4, PSVR and Racing Rig for a few laughs and beers at his house in the evenings.

The only other solution I have is i'm fairly certain it's the same Herpes driver that deliveres to my area every time. I could send something to myself via them and then confront the driver. Won't get my money back but i'll feel better.

Pi, Case, Controller, 32GB card, PSU. I've since bought another from an online shop and the same gear came in at £66. Agree, dick move by the seller. Both ebay and paypal have refused to refund me as the item was marked as delivered. I've literally just had confirmation from My Herpes that they've closed the case and that the item was delivered successfully.

Just after ideas guys... im not bothered about the money, but it's the principle that's pi$$ing me off... I bought a Raspberry Pi for £55 + £5 P&P recently. The auction stated P&P by 'Economy Courier'. I didnt receive the item and so contacted the seller, who checked with the courier. The order tracking states that the item was delivered successfully. Having contacted the courier to ask for more details (My Hermes), the delivery note states 'Delivered to secure location - Storage Cupboard'. I dispute this as a) I didnt receive a note through the letterbox to say delivery was attempted and the description could not be my house - there is nothing that could be considered to be a storage cupboard at my address. So far, the courier has refused to speak to me but says they will conduct a driver interview. This has now been 2 weeks with no response. I've asked the seller to chase, but he's got no motivation to do so. eBay say I am not elligible for Buyer Protection because it is stated as delivered successfully by the courier. The seller has also told me they didn't pay for insurance, so even if it was lost in the post we wouldn't be able to claim for it. Am i in the wrong to assume an item of this value should have been insured by default by a responsible seller? Would this give me any recourse to claim a refund from a poor seller? I can't believe I have no protection, or recourse in this case. This is either an honest mistake from a courier delivering to the wrong address, or I have literally just been stolen from, and I have no form of recourse or protection.

Also just realised I can't see when a thread was started either, without going into it. Im really struggling with this new main thread view.

You can see who started a thread, but the OP's name is in the centre of a line of varying-length text meaning you've got to read the whole line before you see it. I want to be able to see it at a glance without having to read it. Im reading in the Condensed view as opposed to Expanded too, whether that makes any difference.

Yes. Or OP's name... so I can easily see who's thread it is. On the old forum it showed thread starter on a left hand column, and last comment in a right hand column. I'm fairly sure i asked for this and it got implemented last time the forum was changed (or the time before )

Is there any way to change the thread view from the current one? E.g. PART EXCHANGE PRICE Coldel replied to JEMAN's topic in 350Z General It shows the most recent replier's avatar alongside the thread, so it just looks like a thread started to Coldel in this example.;

...and with regards to the contact - all the drivers know these cars can go wheel-to-wheel without risk of severe damage... he knew what he was doing.

Am i the only one here who thinks this was great TV? Yes it was wrong etc etc but it's reignited this thread as well as a lot of people's interest in the sport, albeit that may be short-lived. I say dont punish him - 10SG was adequate.

Why would you consider getting HTB when you've got enough for a 20% mortgage? I would absolutely be putting the biggest deposit i could into the purchase, and getting it over the shortest number of years possible... i.e. if you can get your mortgage over 20 years rather than 25 then you'll be saving 10's of thousands in the long run.

Nah the car sounds are terrible from the GoPro as it's in the waterproof case. Needed to cover the awful quality. No fuel cut problems... and the DSC could be turned off fully by holding the button for 10 seconds.

Looks like youtube have blocked it because i put a song in it... ffs. Edit - now hosted on Vimeo.

Had my first drift day at Oulton since about 2011 last week. Little vid below. The Rx8 handled far better than my previous Rx7 and E36 i'd used there before. Had trouble with it overheating though... it blew the fan fuse 3 times (twice on track, once on the way home). Common problem apparently, the airbox mounts drop and impede the fan. Should be an easy fix. I've also booked Anglesea in August for a full track day. Edit - i'm the tall one.

Sounds non-standard to me. Take a picture and post here to see if we can identify it.

Check your tyre pressures.

Where do you trade?

Have you come across this site? http://www.arcadepun...downloads-page/ I've not delved into it yet, but it appears to have a 128gb download which is a full retropie setup. Im assuming it's got all of the sample videos for all the games etc.

Gutted for you, after you've had your heart set on this for so long.

Yes, but the house doesn't always win. I abhor gambling to be honest and am traditionally very risk averse. Going forward i'll be investing in much less volatile things... this is just a one off so that I dont miss the boat. A couple of my work colleagues have been returning around 20% per year for the last 3 years.

A colleague got the tip on Friday from his business partner in Thailand who's doing pretty well for himself. I'd been on the verge of getting into Bitcoins anyway for some time but this pushed me into Etherium. Haven't read too much into it so far but didn't want to miss the boat so jumped right in rather than reading and deliberating for too long. Good job too - it's gone up 25% since i purchased!

Okay Mattross, you've sold me on this. Im a massive retro games fan. I built my own arcade machine years ago (all emulated), and i've got essentially all mainstream retro consoles in my games room, and 300+ games. I've been considering selling it all for a couple of months and turning the room into a cinema, with projector and recliners etc, but that's for a different thread. At last count my collection was worth around £3k excl the arcade machine which i wouldn't sell. I very rarely play anything, its just nice to have. Anyway... I wasn't overly sold on the idea of a Pi until you mentioned the splash screen idea which got my attention. I've been watching vids all day and have just bought a Pi 3 with Retropie and a load of games pre installed, a basic case, 32gb card and a USB SNES controller. Not bad for £60 delivered. The best part is i can keep this in the lounge and play it a whole lot more than i do with everything now. Regarding modding like yours... i'll see how it goes but i'm thinking i might build it into an original Game Boy case. A couple of pics of my games room if you're interested.

My hay fever is always worse on rainy days... as the rain brings the pollen down. Loretadine - I take 2-3 of these a day (dosage is 1 but im a big guy and 1 does nothing). Only buy the generic versions. i pay about 90p for 14 from my local Home Bargains store. Buy about 10 boxes at a time. Hayfever injections - I dont think this exists anymore does it?? My cousin took it in '94 and died from it. It was banned that year, as is my understanding. It contained steroids which reduced his immune system, and he died from a common cold.

Thanks GM, it was driving me mad. Is there any way that us plebs can search for archived posts, as I do this quite a lot! I can't believe it's over 4 years since that thread was posted on. It feels like a couple of months.
