  1. I mean, I agree it's still a massive wedge of cash, but I think it all depends on what you actually use your phone for. Calls and texts? Yeah, you'd be absolutely bonkers to buy one of these. Lots of on the go semi-pro app usage, or lots of graphics-heavy gaming? I can can see why you'd want one. Tell you what did make me stop in amazement last night, was when they said that over 90% of ALL contactless payments in the US are done by ApplePay. That's absolutely astounding! Is contactless just not the done thing in the US (I know they don't use chip and pin, and prefer signatures), or is ApplePay bigger over here than I give it credit for, or have they started a revolution over there? The other thing to make me giggle was the announcement that YOY app downloads between July-Aug 15-16 was up by 106%. Sounds amazing, until you remember that Pokemon Go came out this year and might be slightly skewing that figure
  2. The price is the same as it was last year, so in practical terms it's a price drop and you're getting a phone with better features. That's impressive.

    tyres on a budget

    Ditch them all and get the 453s.
  4. Yeah, that sucks. Ditch them and move on, life's too short to be stuck with a club that's that bent.
  5. Ex?????? Yup, I quit supporting them a couple of years back after 20-odd years. A club run like that deserves no support at all, so my pennies and loyalty now go to my local club instead. Braintree Town ftw!
  6. That's an awful webpage, I've got no idea what's going on or what it's trying to say. Any chance you can summarise?
  7. I'm an ex-Leeds fan. We trump anyone at the Crap Owners Top Trumps.
  8. I dunno, if they prioritise correctly I might get much more out of it. FB could be low priority, Safari too, that's prob the most often used apps for me. And Sia was too bad, she overawed the awesome monkeys with her crapness.
  9. For how good they appear, that's very good value. Oh yeah, and the stereo thing on the iPhone is brilliant. Again, IF the volume is there and it can make a small wireless set of speakers redundant, then I may be tempted. Maybe.

    Match the rears, do not mix.
  11. POKEMON GO ON APPLE WATCH!!! I dunno, I still want to want a Watch and this is better but not quite there. The multi core in the 7 is a great idea though, but only if it really does prioritise apps correctly. The camera thing is just getting silly now, the camera in the 4 was more than good enough for pics: No serious snapper will use a phone for pics, and no drunk person grabbing a snap of a cat stuck in a box needs two lenses. So in one way it's still the best phone out there, but I still have no interest in buying UNLESS the reviews prove significantly better battery life over the 6 Plus. Then I might be tempted.

    what options

    I think the GT-R knob fits, doesn't it? I'm sure that Adrian put that on his.
  13. No sympathy. Every man and his dog knows that Switzerland is THE worst place to speed ever, even more so than France, so to be doing twice the limit is epic muppetry. And it's a 550 Barchetta. I think it's the light clusters that give it away from the later 575.
  14. Sorry, I was just being a geek/tw*t. Apologies. Just had a cursive glance over the iPhone family wiki, and I didn't realise that they actually made the battery in the 6+S smaller than in the older 6+. I'm definitely glad I got the latter and never upgraded now, be interesting to see which way they go on the 7s.
  15. They never did an iPhone 3, only 3G or 3GS
  16. One new feature? A battery that lasted a sensible amount of time would be great. I'm talking a week of normal use, but that'll never happen as people are used to charging daily and power usage is forever increasing as features get added. Circular argument, sadly.
  17. Exactly! And 'true tone' for better colours on the screen? Pfft, gimme a break, it's a tiny ass screen that has no need for perfect colours.
  18. Nope. Bored of upgrading phones now, not when they offer nothing practical over the existing models. It's all just gimmicks now, across all manufacturers. I can't see them launching the Watch 2 today, or at least if they do it'll either be a token crappy upgrade else it'll get lost in the witch hunt that is morons complaining about the loss of the headphone socket which has been around since the late 1800s.
  19. Put some cats on, you should be fine. Metal ones won't burn out, if you can get them. Or the OEM ones, and just take them off after the test. You may need a remap if you're particularly on the edge.

    2 radiators?

    Aircon, no? Just a guess, mind.
