Wrecked after two days of comic con! I'm in bits!

Im ragin I didnt go, totally forgot about it til I saw the Metro today.

I was basically like Homer when he was going to meet Mr T....

"Ill get a ticket later, Ill get a ticket later..... but when i wanted to get a ticket, the show was gone!!!"

Hashtag_HEEL

The show was amazing! I went both days. One day as Hahstag_Heel, next day as joker.
Didn't get any autographs (not paying €15 for one). Sat in on the Warrick Davis panel. Bought some comics, t-shirts, anime and chopsticks. Took photos with some people in my costume and capped it with watching Mainstage Wrestling put on a great show!

There's another con in August so you'll have that anyway. Also I'm crossing the fingers there'll be an OSW panel at it.

Plus 1 for that.

Sounds like you have a great time. I wouldnt have had time for it this weekend anyway, seeing people picture online is making me jealous though.

You should go for it! They're looking for panels afaik. Saw you talking about it the other night on the page too.

Anyway, I highly reccomend that everyone goes to MCM next year. I'm wrecked but it was well worth it!

So, my iPad just cracked. Just wanted to check had anyone here dealt with cracked screens in terms of repair costs? I got on to iPad chat, and they quoted me a max of 300 quid (which means it'd nearly be as cheap to buy a new one), and I've seen a few places do repairs but don't exactly advertise figures

Anyone any experience dealing with iPad repairs and costs?

jaykhunter

I'd say go into a Chinese phone shop and ask them. I got my iPhone glass replaced for €50 within like 2 hours. I'm certain you can find one that does iPads too. I checked around for 'Irish' places and they were always far more expensive with much longer wait times.

Cant say enough about these lads. Crack my HTC a year ago and a new screen in an hour for 35 quid. Place in talbot street did it for me.

The Chinese : A great bunch of lads!

Have you any Eastern European repair stores? They're done the same for a friend of mine for 30 and have fixed my ipods and laptops on many occasions for dirt cheap.

Eastern Europeans: Get a bad rep!

Rjd2

Laptop has died.:(

So old, and so much money fixing it over the years ah well.:(

So I need a new one, where online would ye get the best deals?

Did have a look at adverts, but not sure if it is a smart idea buying of their n matter how good the feedback is.

Yes folks, I am on a budget:P

So I missed out on a job with the NME in the past few weeks, but got a call from Front Magazine about a potential position. I spent the day taking pictures of topless ladies for a trial today. It went well.

And the pictures weren't bad either!

Picture that makes me sad I know it's likely I never would have, but I'd have loved to have visited that Achievement Hunter office some day I know they'll have new ones, but that will be the first.

Sure Achievement City looks like it's gonna be torn down too!

Its amazing how they make money. Lads recording, editing and freely publishing videos. Its gas craic, but as a business it baffles me with its impressiveness.

It's the old office of Achievement Hunter, I guess they are moving out.

Rooster Teeth, an online entertainment company, are moving offices, upgrading from...



to...



The first picture I posted is the Achievement Hunter office, where they film their Lets Play videos. Was a small office with 8 people working in it, churning out some amazing videos and making boatloads of cash :P They are moving to a bigger place now, but I'm sad they are leaving the old office.

It really is brilliant how they've made it a business which employs nearly 100 people and looking to expand.

Lucky that Microsoft didn't kill it in their first stages by forcing Youtube to take down Red vs Blue.

Any PW techies able to help me out or recommend what to do

Windows 7 RunDLL Error on Startup

When i log into my laptop i get this message

There was a problem starting dhjw.cpp . The specificed module could not be found.

Ive tried the manual reboot but didnt work and am worried it maybe a virus instead of a programme on the actual laptop

I was told to download http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

Do people recommend that/is it safe or not.

Cheers

Googling that file name only seems to being up this thread and the one you asked on Microsoft answers - the guys advice there is solid and malware bytes is known to be trustworthy, safe and usually pretty effective - run it and see how you get on anyway!

Although maybe you should double check the spelling and make sure that's the exact name of the dodgy file!

Is there actually people hired especially to ensure a packet of biscuits must contain broken biscuits? Successful applicants must possess Frank Dux like ability to break only select biscuits without damaging surrounding biscuits.

Finally booked my Theory Test . Have been avoiding it for way to long ha

I think this is my new home for wrestling discussion.

I am actually forum moderator on a different wrestling forum, but recently i have grown tired of that forum so i decided to be more active on this forum instead for the past few weeks.

Far less trolls and a**holes on this forum.

(Sorry if this is wrong place).

What is the other forum as a matter of interest?

Theory test is quite easy, just practice questions on theory test CD and you will be fine.

I used this site:
http://www.quizglobal.com/ViewQuizByID.aspx?QuizID=161

Took note of anything I kept getting wrong and went over them the most. Got 38 out of 40 in the real thing without ever opening the book :pac:

Diabhal Beag

The book is probably the best way to learn IMO. There's questions that mightn't be covered that you'll need to know anyways when you're driving. The book covers cars and motorbikes so you probably only need to read half of it.

If Moyes goes we riot.

Rjd2

would be absurd to trust him for another season after such a wretched season.

Although would be hilarious to see the reaction of United fans if Giggs replaces him.

A Brad Maddox Guy

Giggs til the end of the season is perfectly fine. Giggs getting the job on a permanent basis would be a crazy appointment.

I call shenanigans on Moyes being sacked,

Ah no! Moyes has been a pleasure to deal with all year. Love his post match "I thought we played well" promos we're heartwarming. I wish him well.

What a glorious day if he goes.

Be my best day in quite some time if it's true. And don't think Sky would be reporting on it so heavily if it wasn't about to happen.

Can't see Klopp going to United at all.

It would be a bit silly Jurgen Klopp joining as manager of Manchester United, when he only signed a new contract with Borussia Dortmund only a few months ago.
