  1. I get confused with mine and I don't have any desktop icons at all, but I am a very simple person :p
  2. Yep, that's the plan. I'm fed up of waiting 5 minutes for my computer to be fully responsive, even with an i5. So it'll be for Windows 7, anti-virus and Microsoft Office, maybe something else important if I ever think of it, I know there's something else :p
  3. Whack Windows 7 and a few core programs on there and jobs a good'un: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0589.jpg Leaving my 250GB HDD for less important programs, music and photos. Then I'll put games on my 1TB HDD which I bought months ago and still haven't used :p
  4. I looked at the Toyo T1Rs, but I kept reading about the sidewalls being quite soft so the outer edges of the tyre had a tendancy to wear away quite quickly, maybe those people were just driving really hard, I don't know :p We'll see. Can't be worse than the tyre I've got on the front passenger side now, it howls once you go past 40MPH like I've got off-road tyres on there or something :p w00t, SSD has just arrived :D
  5. They get good reviews from people with other little French cars. Didn't have much choice on my budget, 195/55/15 is a really bad tyre size, so it turns out. If I had 195/50/15 I'd be well away with some Continentals PC2s or something similar.
  6. I thought he was in the U.A.E., but I could be mistaken.
  7. ^ Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. As for me, I bought two new tyres. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110s. Performance(ish) tyres on a budget, they must be better than the ditch-finders that are on the car now anyway: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0588.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0586.jpg Also expecting my new SSD drive to arrive today but I think the couriers have swapped their days, because the tyres were meant to come tomorrow and the SSD was meant to come today but the tyres are the only things to have shown up so far.
  8. Just got Men of War: Assault Squad after crafting 7 pieces of coal. Not really sure what I was hoping for from crafting the coal but Men of War isn't really my sort of game by the looks of it, so if anyone feels like trading something for it let me know.
  9. Was so glad I'd finally bought Wings of Prey until I got to the Hunter's Nest mission, can't do it to save my life :/ I get to the last couple of transport planes in the last wave and then they reach their destination. Maybe I shouldn't have given away my joystick..
  10. I'd probably go for the Samsung SyncMaster S22A100N or one of the Full HD Acers. But I am biased with the Samsung :p O/T; is it you who I now see posting on OcUK in General Discussion?
  11. I followed one almost indentical to mine on Friday, only difference was the other one was a five-door. I quite like the five-door, it's a bit rarer as well :p I wonder if they do a "My Peugeot Goes Dagdagdagdagdag" version of the stickers Mb linked to :hmmm:
  12. A Rear Wiper Blade An RC Helicopter A The Clash T-Shirt A pair of gloves which I can wear and use my phone at the same time 3 new shirts (Which I picked out months ago) 2 pairs of jeans (Which I picked out months ago) A Phillips Electric Shaver A Braun/Oral-B Vitality Electric toothbrush £140 to go towards some new tyres for the car Two jumpers (Which I picked out months ago) The Official Annual 2012 Top Gear book Richard Hammond's "Or is it Just Me?" Grow-A-Girlfriend (loooooooool) Quite a lot of chocolate Quite a lot of shower-gel/aftershave/deodorant stuff More than I was expecting and I feel quite guilty because my mum got me loads and I didn't seem to get her much :( My sister was happy with the hair styling kit I got her among other things, and my dad was happy with the wiper-blades I got him among other things.
  13. Wings of Prey for me today, maybe H.A.W.X. 2 after I've watched some videos of it. Always love going to PC World or Comet and playing the Wings of Prey Demo on their best PC instead of actually buying anything :p
  14. Yep, I like that.
  15. I had that on the Xbox 360, quite enjoyed it considering it isn't the sort of game I'd normally play.
  16. As long as it isn't overly loud, but during/after 1992 the emissions were set lower in the M.O.T. test so the chances of passing the emissions test during an M.O.T. are a lot slimmer without a Catalytic Converter, and if the M.O.T. tester physically looks at the exhaust and sees the part missing then you can get failed for that as well. If you are going to decat here, it's probably handy to know how to quickly change an exhaust over so you've got one with a Catalytic Converter ready for M.O.T. time which you can then swap back to the decat'd unit after the test, or something of similar effect. There are a lot of dodgy garages around though who won't bat an eyelid to it, but it's up to you whether you want to risk having a note on the VOSA system for the car failing an M.O.T.
  17. Would have liked F1 2011, but it's still not what I'd consider a sale price at £15. Nothing else interesting, guess a bonus from not buying anything is that I get to keep my money for a change :p
  18. Modern Warfare 2 is over-priced as always, it isn't worth half of that. Duke Nukem is average at best. Tropico 4 is too expensive, as is Red Orchestra 2. Next days deals please.
  19. Nothing for me in the first day of Daily Deals, but I did get a 25% off voucher to use on Valve games and a piece of coal for doing one of the Great Gift Pile achievements :p
  20. I prefer the blue to be honest. I'm fed up of seeing black cars everywhere.
  21. I bought it today as well. FPS is slightly iffy but can't expect too much on a mobile device, still impressed they managed to get such a game onto mobile devices, I remember when I had to upgrade my computer to get this game to run on it back when it was released on PC, lol. I agree with the controls, especially when driving, I seem to be able to turn left fine but I always somehow miss the button to turn right. I tried steering using the accelerometer but that seemed a bit 'floaty'. Definitely going to be playing it a lot though. It'll keep me off Pool and a drag racing game I've been playing after working my way up to having a 1080HP Zonda R :p
  22. Obligatory shots of the car with this Winters first snow on it (taken on my phone so lolQuality): http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0087.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/IMG_0088.jpg Crap journey home. Didn't mind driving in the snow, but I got stuck behind someone doing 30MPH in a 60MPH limit while I had needed the toilet since I left my works Christmas dinner, took an hour to get home with the sound of water all the way back. Not good. Did actually over-take the slow car and went as fast as I could the rest of the journey, the car proved it's limited rallying credentials anyway.
  23. I wouldn't worry, even I blame certain aspects of the car for being French so I don't mind if other people slate it for being French. I like the car too much to want to get rid of it now despite it's problems, all of which are just consumables which every car owner has to deal with really. At the end of the day though, it's cheaper to fix the few problems that I have now than buy a different car out-right. I'll be keeping it until I can afford a decent VW Bora, or maybe an Audi A4. Anyway, I have the money to fix everything that is wrong with it 10x over, but I really dislike spending money :p
  24. I know, I wouldn't be so bothered if it didn't throw absolutely everything at me all at the same time. It's taking the pee.
  25. Lol. The indicator which tells you how many miles you have left in my mums MK6 Golf sometimes goes up instead of down. She once started a journey with 30 miles remaining and ended the journey with 45 miles remaining. Pretty sure the Germans are unaware that the cars they make don't actually need fuel.
