    I have had one Dell desktop and three laptops and never any major problems. Different strokes and all, some people prefer a custom made machine as opposed to one off the shelf.

    4 dell laptops in this house, not all mine :), all different makes and prices. Never had one issue with any of them, infact i want a new dell but i like this one so much i dont want to get rid, 3 years old. Inspiron 1720, very good machine all round tbh.

    http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Sony_MDR-XB20EX_Extra_Bass_Headphones.htm

    They look nice man tbf!

    These are the ones I was given: http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Sennheiser_CX_400_Precision_In-Ear_Headphones.htm

    Alot of people don't like in-ear ones but they're the first pair of them I've gotten and I find the're brilliant for blocking out external noise if you're on a bus or busy place where you just want to be able to listen to your music/podcast in peace

    Yeah they've a good selection alright - wouldn't ever buy off ebay anyway - one of my mates bought bose earphones for around €30/€40 and they fell away to shít after about a month - got severely done over on some terrible fakes

    +1 on the Sennheisers.

    I bought a pair off of an Irish fella on eBay last year. He was selling off a block load of them. They were €15 including postage. Still have them and there brilliant.

    I rang up Setanta yesterday to cancel and was offered the next 3 months at €2.99 which will run to €8.97 as opposed to €50.97. There is a reconnection fee now of €14.99 if you want back in come august so I saved money by getting the €2.99 for 3 months. Setanta will have 33 saturday games again next season.

    Anyone know if that is correct ?

    Aye, I was aware of the one month notice but I read on the satellite forum that there was fee. Pretty sure I read it on a Sky leaflet also.

    Yeah, the puk travels so fast you can't see it so that would probably mean any cup wouldn't be good enough.

    I dunno anything about those cups, sure I'm a lady!

    I should also be studying, not getting anywhere! :mad:

    I'm onto the 9th episode now - it's not as good as Band of Brothers but then again that set the bar really. There's a character in it called John Basilone who's like a mixture of Winters and Spears from Band of Brothers.

    Overall it's not epic by any means but it's still good and well worth a watch.

    Maybe you should try watching Breaking Bad - unless you already do - great show
