Say goodbye to Staines

Chef_uk — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:02:06 GMT

And hello to Staines-Upon-Thames and all thanks to Ali G giving the town a reputation.

I can now quite easily see a sequel to Ali G ripping the new name to pieces thus rendering the name change even more pointless.

Just in case some people haven't seen it, series 10 starts on BBC3 tonight. Better than the last couple of series.

there has been talk about bringing back group B rallying, this will probably put the kibosh on that idea whether relevant or not.

a shame for those there and obviously group b

If anyone wants a guest pass, please request it in here. Also, if someone gets a pass, please post to let us know that you don't need one anymore.

General tips and tricks.

Lungboy — Sat, 19 May 2012 19:52:09 GMT

Evening all! I thought i'd make a thread where anyone can post and tips and tricks they find that apply to all classes in the game.

I'll start off with: don't level your blacksmith or jewelcrafter. Top level gems are cheaper on te auction house than they are to make yourself. Similarly, equipment is very cheap on the AH if you filter for low buyouts.

Don't disenchant blues. Sell them to a vendor. You get more gold selling blues than it costs to buy the materials from the AH. Yellows might sell on the AH if they have primary stats for a class.

Thought it would be easier if we were all in one thread.

Hi all

I'm selling two of my lenses due to an upgrade and I need the funds.
Otherwise I'd keep them both! They won't be mint/perfect but I can't see any large dust issues and haven't noticed anything when taking the pictures.
No serious wear and I consider both of them to be good examples

Canon 70-300 IS USM - 250 inc RMSD
good condition, boxed, end caps, never let me down. very well reputed lens for a non-L. from a smoke-free and pet free home. Found it really handy on my 40D. Also comes with a filter which lives on the lens.

Sigma 50-150 f2.8 - �300 ono inc RMSD
Love this lens. Use it mainly at f2.8 and get some great results.
�600 ish brand new. I've owned it from new and can't see anything wrong with it. For indoor spots it's cracking on a cropped sensor and is equivalent to a 70-200 ish. I had it re-calibrated at SigmaUK too and I think it did have a minor near focus issue. Now solved as far as I can see. Nice and handy.
Comes with a filter too which lives on the lens.

In the market for a new keyboard, looking at a gaming orientated one. Favouring the cyborg V7 at the moment anyone got any input?

iPod 2nd generation

milou — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:20:31 GMT

I have an immaculate iPod second generation (Windows 10gb) - not the Touch version but the original: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Vi...ond_generation plus all the software, headphones, charger (which I only recently found), firewire connection and the well designed box. I've had it from new. Any ideas what it might be worth (hence the post here)? Are these things collected?

Edit: this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-COLLE...item231cbf1fa8 suggests a comedy price but has apparently sold a new Mac version: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150771666164.

Cheers.

F-22 Raptor: "Causing Hypoxia in Pilots"

Eja Cool8 — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:01:31 GMT

Extreme performance behind the problem they reckon..

Audio of a Pilot in difficulty.

Pretty nasty, and the sort of "early teething troubles" you would have thought they'd pick up before service entry...

It's taken them quite a while to get this far, but it is first in class, so we'll let them off :P
