Re: 2012 F1 Pool

GP2 champion Romain Grosjean will drive for Renault, who will become Lotus in 2012, alongside returning 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen next season. Grosjean, 25, raced seven times for Renault in 2009 but failed to impress alongside team-mate Fernando Alonso. "There's a big grin on my face a...

Re: "saying No" !! to Thais.....

I would question her authenticity, and get a Thai friend or wife to grill her for a few minutes and see what transpires. There are far too many scams here where people latch on to a cause and milk it to stuff their own pockets. Pete :cheers:

As a side note.....I've found http://www.openoffice.org/ just as good as Microsoft Office in that it does everything I was doing with MO, and it's free. Pete :cheers:

Yeah, you're right. I have my fingers crossed for West Ham though. Pete :cheers:

Re: Championship 2011-12

This is the first time I've looked at the stats this year. It appears that Southampton and West Ham are probable for coming up. Cardiff was in the running last season I think but failed in the playoffs? I also recall that Nottingham Forest was in the running but they now sit in 22 this season. A tra...

Thailand 4G trial run

As someone mentioned on here months ago, indeed it looks as if perhaps 3G will have a short life here, if any life at all.

Re: IKTS 2011/2012

I haven't read all the predictions but the ones I have are all picking Fulham over Liverpool on Monday, or a draw. I don't know what their thinking is. Liverpool has won the last four away matches and I have no idea what strengths they see in the Fulham team. In any event, I scratch my head and awa...

Re: Is CRT TV format really dead?!?!?!

A plasma will break your back indeed. Heaviest set I've ever had except for a furniture type unit mentioned above. We need two brutes or four small guys when moving ours. It's a 40". Pete :cheers:

Re: Is CRT TV format really dead?!?!?!

.......I also remember that it took a couple of minutes to "warm up" before you got any picture at all. Even the new units we're talking about on here do that (about 20-30 seconds) if you have the energy saver setting turned on. Basically it stops the 'instant on' and saves juice. I don't...

Re: Is CRT TV format really dead?!?!?!

TV's used to be a piece of furniture for your living room. Nice cherry or oak cabinet with the entire thing 1 meter+ wide. A place to put family photos, a vase of flowers and a rotary dial phone on top of. You used to get 3 channels as well in those days :laugh: , and your news came from a newspaper...
