  2. Had to claim copyright against a guy, who is simply re-uploading and monetising all of my videos (without permission, obviously)!

     

    Does that mean I've "made it" on youtube?? :P

     

    Still, what are arse!

      Good luck getting anything out of YouTube, they aren't interested unless you're 1M+ subs.

  3. Didn't get the Ambulance Service job. It's a crying shame! Thought it was a strong interview, so I've asked for feedback.

      Bummer :(

      Was it your first time through with them?

      Yup, first time.

      Dont take it too hard and reapply ;)

      My wife is a para and very few people she works with got through first time.

      Good that you've asked for feedback too

  4. Anyone else bagged themselves a Nintendo Switch and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, on day one? It's a super slick machine.

    1. m4inbrain

      m4inbrain

      With 75% of its launch titles being indie games. 

       

      I'll get one once the new Mario, and more importantly, Xenoblades 2 is out. Until then, not much reason to get one. Zelda is a fun game, but meh, not worth by itself.

       

      Also, by the time XB2 comes out, there might be some aftermarket mobile pad thingies, whatever they're called. The original ones are just awful.

      I did look into it, but found it just looked far too gimmicky for me.

  5. Got an interview with the Scottish Ambulance Service tomorrow, for an Ambulance Technician role... wish me luck!

      Prae will heal, tis that classic 190e I'm more concerned about....:P

    4. PraetoR

      PraetoR

      Hello all. Yeah, I'm fine, just hurting like a mother...!

       

      It honestly felt like they weren't taking it serious, and eventually only got seen to by a nurse, not a doctor. I'll recover, just can't turn my head or lift much. Also, chest took a whack from the seatbelt.

       

      Thankfully (and, Noj... I share your concern), I wasn't in the ol' 190e... I was in the work van, a crappy little Corsa!

  8. Funniest video I've seen in ages!

  9. Ron Glass dies at 71, so sorry to hear this.

     

    Shepherd Book, from the amazing Firefly series. Played it perfectly and stood out, even in a show full of flawless characters.

  11. FINALLY completed Super Mario 64!!! Only took me exactly 20 years of trying!!

     

    Seems appropriate, though... given that is also the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo 64.

      Playing Goldeneye multiplayer with your best friend(s) is never a wasted moment! Happy memories are life's most valuable assets!

      Actually what about a electric shock weapon that fries all the other bots elecs.  Would that work? 

    4. PraetoR

      PraetoR

      Nah, it would fry it's own circuits, probably. And the floor is steel, so it would also fry everything else! lights, flame-controls, pit-controls, flipper-controls... etc

  15. A palm-sized NES with 30 classic games built-in, retro-replica controllers and HDMI output... for £50!! Getting one of these, fo'sho!

      I think it's brilliant! Going to get a second controller, also.

  16. Anone know of any seriously large-capacity 2s lipos that aren't silly money? I'm getting about 5 minutes use, with the 3250mah in my Pro-Line...

      My lad uses a 7600 2s traxxas copy in his firestrom, lasts 2 uses at school for him usually! Cheap too from Hobbyking.

      Run 6000mah hardcase 2s packs in mine Prae, give a good half hour of madness....

    4. PraetoR

      PraetoR

      Ordered the 8000mah Floureons. I have the a 3s Floureon, Tug... and agree they are terrific value!

      Dazp1976, my charger goes to 10a, so I'm fine there!

      Noj, it must just be the Castle motor is power-hungry. She's geared slightly under!

  17. Can anyone advise me as to how I can get my Mini 8ight T to jump level? It nose-dives, HORRIBLY, over every single jump. Is there is a suspension/balnce adjustment that can be made? Don't really have any room/option to move weight rearward.

      Hi folks, thanks for the replies. Deafty, I read that harder rear springs were the answer, not softs? :huh: Something about the rear end bottoming-out when the nose hits the ramp. From a driving perspective, the rear needs to be a touch harder, anyway, because she squats too much when accelerating. I will definitely need to alter my jumping technique, of course!

       

      Hi, Jim... no, mine is the ridiculous Exotek spec version tha AJ built a year, or so, ago. There is literally nothing original left!

       

      Mydoddy, ESC is already on the top plate!

       

      Since two of you have suggested a bigger wing, I will look into that also. ^_^

       

      Thanks!

       

      Any others??

    3. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      Stiffen up the rear, nose diving can happen when the rear compresses and hits the lip of the jump pushing the nose down 

    4. Bigjimknickers

      Bigjimknickers

      I suggest, put it all back to stock...

       

       

      & sell me the rest!! :D

  18. Why are women so obsessed with chatting on phones!?!? I wanted to go out filming, girlfriend phoned, talked my ears off, seems incapable of hanging up. By the time I'm off, it's too dark to film!

  19. NO WAY!!! Last lap after 24 hours! That's brutal!

  20. Anyone know of any free streams online, to watch Le Mans?

    1. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      It's on Quest ch37 on freeview

    2. PraetoR

      PraetoR

      Thanks! I'll see if I can find that channel online, as my freeview doesn't work.

      refueling would be good if it took longer.

    3. Nitroholic

      Nitroholic

      It's the refuelling, compulsory pit stopping bit that ruins it for me. Along with artificially restrictive rules, which the big teams can afford to circumvent ( cheating....if you get caught ). That and the fact that the season always seems to have one dominant car package, with the others getting the scraps.

       

      They have made it a tactical sport, with what happens on the track counting for a lot less.

       

      Still...there is a LOT more motorsport on telly now than there ever used to, so I can watch the rally stuff, the one make stuff and the bike racing and give the F1 a miss. For that...I am thankful!

    4. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Must admit, since F1 turned into a battle of money, not driving ability or skill, I've been watching more BTCC and Rallycross.

      Far far better IMO, than Bernies Billionaire Circus.

  22. OK, so... technically, I don't need the 1987 Whitesnake LP...

      It was amazing. So nice to have an MT I can trust, not thinking in the back of my mind "it's gonna break, it's gonna break,it's gonna break".

       

      IMMEDIATELY somersaulted it on to it's roof, though... soooo, scratched the shell up straight away! Many spills, many rolls, one massive backflip off of a tree trunk. Everything A-OK. ^_^

      What's David Cameron  got to do with a plane going missing? His made some bad discussions but would anyone from the last election have made any better ones? 

      It could be mechanical failure or terrorists. Until we find out let's just hope that all the people on the plane are safe.

    4. Oh How Original

      You'd be best off reading my entire post before replying Alex.

      I did say I'm not talking about THIS specific plane because it might be something and nothing.
