Corvo Attano

I put that link up a few posts back :pac:

Good value?

Corvo Attano

Contact him and see if he can get it mailed to you and how much that would cost

decisions

You should be focusing on 2nd hand stuff. Much cheaper in general.

jamo2oo9

Postage for that TV would be around E20 with Anpost.ie

Or offer to meet him half way.

These things can always be worked around.

And Im going to assume she got it in a massive assets sale and the place was either closing down or on the brink.

Nah you put up the LED version for 25 quid more.

It's alright value. You can get cheaper ones but they won't really be wonderful brands so no promises. I mean Currys/PC World have like 2 of their own brands, I think Alba and Bush (:rolleyes:) have something to do with Argos themselves.


If you can get the one on donedeal posted, that's be great.

it was originally 300 but well yeno Harvey Normans and their sales :P it's great it's JMB like not a massive brand but it has the stuff yere on about

decisions

If they want a quick sale, offer the asking and get them to deliver it. You won't find a better deal in Argos or HN.

Outside of a HM bumper sale that is.

Corvo Attano

Here now what exactly does the government cover when it comes to college fees?

jamo2oo9

And what are the Tuition Fees that are displayed on the Grants page? I know Student Contribution is registration fees payable by everyone. That can be covered by the grants right?

Nothing wrong with it. The ad seems trustworthy, plenty of detail and pictures. Chances are he's leaving the country and wants to sell quickly

decisions

Beggers can't be choosers.

Not a bit of thunder or lightning here last night. I love thunder and lightning

It's very cool to watch, but not when I was trying to go to bed at a reasonable hour for once

jamo2oo9

I got six strikes up in North Louth and they all seem to be from the Midlands direction. Pity it wasn't fork lightening

Corvo Attano

Heavy rain puts me right to sleep. I love that sound.

Does Galway get snow?

Yeah, one of the aunts heard on the radio that there was a bit of a storm our way last night but no one in the house seems to have heard or seen anything.

Didn't hear anything either. I heard the lashing of the rain but no thunder anywhere. My dad couldn't hear anything either so it wasn't just me.

Daniel7740

You could really do with some jet packs and parachutes on gta 4

Spent ages trying to install Linux on my current laptop


Damn you Windows 8 with your Secure Boot :mad:

decisions

I'm currently running Vista *shudder* Im going to have another stab at Linux next week. I had it running fine for a bit, and then I picked up a load of viruses from something I downloaded. And the only disk I could find afterwards was vista to get it going again.

Corvo Attano

I got a Raspberry Pi and for the life of me I cant find where I left the power cable

I wouldn't use Vista again even if my life depended on it..

God that thing pissed me off so much. I had a laptop with the worst set up for it too. 'twas a notebook from 2007 running Vista, had 1GB RAM and the early Intel mobile graphics.


Horrible times they were I just ditched it for my XP desktop

I'd love a Raspberry Pi Looks like so much fun. How much did you get it for?

I got an Android Mini PC

ScummyMan

A what?

Corvo Attano

My Godfather got it for me for 25£

And its a tiny computer that runs Linux thats going to be used to teach programming in schools. And to me if i can fainf the Fúcking cable :mad:


And we had Vista before we got 7 on the family computer. 1GB of RAM.

I just... nobody warned... WHY WAS IT SO RESOURCE HEAVY

Preferably San Andreas.

I want it so bad, 4 just isn't the same

Corvo Attano

The one thing I really loved about 4 that they further improved in RDR is the reaction to getting hit by a bullet.

Kneecap a guy in RDR and he cant walk. He'll kneel up and fire til he dies of blood loss. Hit in the shoulder and you can see them get knocked back a bit
