ParticipantJesus this same question seems to come up every month or so.
like I said before… I was very pleased with the price and build quality (along with the warranty) that PC specialist gave me for my rig. I have always built my PC’s before… but honestly couldnt have built my own for less than what they were asking.

Participantyou should be able to replace the ram easy enough turks – even with your ham fisted computer skills 😀
TBH though… if it was working ok when he bought it… but its slow now… you just need to reinstall windows! I mean a complete start from scratch again job. Get an external HD – plug it in, save any files he needs and do the reinstall, its a pain in the arse but if you save all the necessary drivers beforehand as well then it should only take an hour or 2 of your time.
Any computer after a while needs a good clearing out – its stunning how many people (i.e. my parents) are prepared to buy a whole new machine when the old one starts slowing down…. they only use it for browsing the web and using word FFS!

Participantcongratulations guys thats awesome news!
I think you are nuts to invite XDC to the wedding – but heck, I might try and come if everyone else is 🙂
Could bring a surfboard with me – is there any surf near this place?

Participantits maybe not so stupid… once you look at the site you see what it is really being sold for…. spraying over your number plates so you can avoid speed camera fines.

I am afraid I will have to go with SOIA here. With a face like yours, you will have to get her legless before she will entertain being pork-sworded by you.
You will need more than £50 squid though, as it will not just be enough to make her pissed, you will have to do other things that will make her forget your mug and think what a nice fellow you are.
This is the plan.
Find out what her favourite food is and find a suitable restaurant that has a reputation for doing it well. Ensure it has a cosy, romantic atmosphere, see if they will do candles. It’s a bonus if they have a violin player or such who will pass by your table and play something haunting.
Book such table.
Pick her up on the evening in question, at least an hour and a half before the table is booked. Bring her a bunch of tasteful flowers or a small box of chocolates from a proper Maison de Chocolat, not your Quality Street shit. Compliment her, say she looks gorgeous, try to mean it as well.
Take her to a trendy, classy bar and have an aperitif. This is the start of getting her goofed enough to contemplate being humped by you, it must be done discreetly or she will cotton onto you sharpish and your chances will be the same as me scoring with Imogen Poots, zero and fuck-all.
Enquire about her day and listen attentively, making relevant empathetic sounds where appropriate. Maintain eye contact, do not start leering at her norks or such, it is not the right time. Compliment her again.
Head for the restaurant with enough time to be able to have another drink at the bar (getting her sloshed on the QT remember). Again listen to her prattle attentively (Gawd wimmin can talk).
Once seated at the table, ask her if she would like another aperitif before you order the wine. Speaking of wine, whether she would prefer red or white, go for the higher ABV% wines like a Zinfandel, or anything Californian, particularly from the Napa valley.
Compliment her again, something like “the candles really accentuate your well structured cheekbones (do not choke or vomit when you say this). Keep the easy chit-chat going, let her do the talking. Keep your voice low and murmur your responses. Keep looking at her eyes, the time is not ripe for trying to see how much nipple is showing. Patience.
When ordering the food, try to help her in a non-patronising way. Your job here is to appear interested in her choices while at the same time trying to prevent her from choosing certain things. If she wants fish, ensure she goes for white fish, no prawns or such. Trust me, if she eats prawns, you will not like to eat her muffin later on. Also try make sure she does not eat anything too heavy, the reason is twofold. Heavy food negates the effect of the alcohol and will also make her sleepy, thus she will be more inclined for sleep than a shag later on.
When time comes for the pudding, try slipping in a sticky such as a Chatuax d Yquem. Then get in an Irish or Tai Maria coffee, bribe the waiter to make hers a double. By this time, the combination of flattery, attention and booze should have her beginning to contemplate a gallop with you, but the work is a long way from finished. For advice on the coup de main, I shall however require remuneration, so cough up of you will not be told how to get her kit off, give her 5 orgasms and visit all her orifices.
ROFL! and now back to reality……
Pharts REAl night out.
Picks up the cheap tart from accounts an hour late as he has been playing 2142 and lost track of time.
Stares at her norks and grunts.
Takes her to the local restaurant… unfortunately lets slip that this is where he takes all his birds…. violinist refuses to come near his table as he knows from experience that he wont get any tips from the tight fisted South African.
Starts drinking the bottle of wine with gusto….. realises he has almost finished it before she has had her second glass.
Stares at her norks.
Continues to drink heavily as he whittles on about his huge pay check… his upcoming bonus and the size of his rifle 🙄
Stares at her norks.
Manages to persuade her to come back to his place with his tales of indescribable wealth and possible offers of a free TV (well thats how he seduced cowboy anyway.)
Collapses in a heap and orgasms once… by himself.
Girl takes free TV and leaves.
The End.

Participantsounds good turks – how does that work then? Is this related to your popcorn job?

ParticipantUpdate time!
This game has grown on me… the cut seens/ whole storyline are considerably better quality than I am used to in games like this. Now that i have got used to the different units involved i am much more impressed with tactical play – theres some interesting decisions to be made as to the make up of your forces/where to drop them in… with a minimum of micromanagement once you get into the battles.
The single player game seems very geared up to making you a competent online player… different missions focusing on the 4 different online roles that you can play as.
I am desperate to play online now…. goddamn broadband woes ar egetting me down.
8.5/10 I’d say – well worth the cash.
I am on the last mission now…. so hopefully have a review of giants citixen kabuto soon 🙂

ParticipantLol Neon top idea! 😀
As for giving a girl a hula hoop whilst pretending you have got her a nice gift…. 4 aces is either single and doomed to be so for ever more or has a VERY understanding woman.
I reckon giving someone an experience of some sort always beats some crappy trinket which they will bin in due course. Take her to a show. give her a flying lesson, take her kite buggying… whatever it is she will remember it forever… and gives you a chance to spend quality time with her.

ParticipantIt is a genuine bit of berlin wall… its got graffiti on it and everything! 😀
Just holding it takes me back in time to when David Hasselhof single handedly reunited Germany after his iconic performance on it in 1989…. now of only this game allowed you to drop a nuke on the hoff mid concert… that would be pure gold!
Maybe in a mod 🙂
I am now halfway through the game and it is growing on me. Not a COH beater, but Ive not yet tired of dropping heavy ordnance on the ruskies. Would love to play it online with Spunker to see how it compares… are you getting it m8? I MIGHT have broadband within a month 😯

ParticipantSuperb spunksmeister – you got talent!

ParticipantApparently the multiplayer is very good… though my lack of a connection makes that a bit useless just now. The game comes with a disc of the the game to install as multiplayer only with a CD key that is valid for 10 days – im not sure if you can get the same thing off the net, but if not Id be happy to post it to someone so they can try before they buy.
God the explosions are soooo good. Artillery finally looks realistic.

Participantfuck oblivion guys = after getting seriously pissed off with a game stopping bug in morrowind for a week or so (to do with the bonebiter bow if you are interested) i have now got back into it.
theres more effort gone into a few square miles of space in morrowind than they put into the whole of oblivion. im just scared that i will be an old man by the time i complete the bloody thing. 🙂

ParticipantHmmm – cant wait for this now – read a preview in pc gamer which has wetted my appettite. The sea battles sound quite complex… you can use gusts of wind to get speed boosts, and all the old naval tacticts used by nelson et al are available for use.
Just hope the land battles have all the bugs ironed out that dogged the older games.
