General discussion / PS5

Anyone else having a nightmare trying to get one of these? I was unsuccessful securing a pre-order a couple of months ago.

On today again trying to get one as currys etc said they would have more online on release day. Sites crashed and basically most people had no chance.

Thankfully this isn't something the kids have asked for this Christmas but I am sure plenty of parents are pulling their hair out.

Big scare in the news this morning around a new virus in China.  City on lockdown.  People fecking around with animals again... "This new virus originated in a seafood market in Wuhan that "conducted illegal transactions of wild animals", authorities have said."

No doubt it wont be long until cases of this arrive in Europe.

General discussion / The Official EFL Championship

I was looking for a thread on this but one must not exist! Amazing.  Surely there is at least some interest if only to abuse the teams that knock your accumulator!?

Do super Leeds have it won already since they're are now playing the best football in England under Bielsa? Will Villa finally buy their way out of the league? Will Lampard be sacked before Steve McClaren?

General discussion / Tablets

No not drugs but the electronic ones. Was in carphone warehouse earlier and was looking at a few of the tablets. With so many different ones available it's hard to know what to go for. Samsung, iPad, motorolla, hp, etc what's the major differences and what is the best quality for money.

I'm really only gonna use it at home mostly and I have wifi. In saying that I could see me using it a lot. Is there a need for 3G and do they have to be bought on some sort of tariff?

I apologise if there is already a thread on this and I will delete.

General discussion / Best Phone Network??

« on: September 29, 2009, 03:34:37 PM »

quick question.  The wife is considering buying a blackberry on the orange network but she has been with O2 PAYG for about ten years or so.  The only thing holding her back is changing the network... is there much difference?

the same phone contract on O2 is £10 per month more expensive than orange!

looks like Hatton vs Mayweather is on!! i've been looking forward to the possibility of this fight for a while now. Interesting to see that Hatton has agreed to move up a weight for the fight even though he was lucky to come away with a victory the last time he went to that weight.

Whats people's views on this one? i still reckon Mayweather's quick hands will be too much for him.

i see young Hewitt may not be going to Iraq after all because of an "increase in violence".

i'd say he'd be top of a hit/kidknap list over there alright.
