Paint ! Paint ! Paint! Come on you Paint! Paint was robbed.. Get some scarves made up for watching paint dry - probably not far off being an actual football fan.

Well, after starting this thread nearly 2 years ago, now we're seeing the same claims in the papers that the Glazers are to blame for being stuck with the aging team, no money put in for big player spending and in fact $500m taken OUT of the business to pay for it's very take over in the first...

I heard that they had their differences.. One kept changing direction and the other wanted to go straight (is that a really poorly contrived joke about AC and DC?)

My Q5 chip arrived last month.. time to actually start this project perhaps!

That's a lot of incentive to do your best to manipulate the value of Bitcoin! Hence why a personally don't trust it not to be at least a fairly rigged exchange rate. I mean, if the Libor and Forex scandals can happen in a supposedly REGULATED market with potential jail time for fraudsters...

Where on the facebook page is the text that this thread is based on? Do I have to log in to facebook to see it, has it been since removed or is there a link I've not followed?

Only ever seen them on ebay... shielded drivers I think? Not that that is of any concern with flat-screen TVs! I guess means they are safe to put your floppy discs on top....

Do you have any photos of the hybrid amp whilst it's in for repair?

Didn't know they were Myst either... I had the opportunity to buy a couple of pairs of their monitor cabinets from the designer but blew it due to not having any transport at the time and suddenly no cash, last year sometime when my car failed it's MOT and needed a few hundred of welding...

One thing I would say with these rings that differ from Nottingham analogue rings, is that the latter has indentations for the rings cut into the edge of the platter. This means there's more coupling with nearly half the surface area of the ring in contact. Without that, the contact area of...
