Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Or, to take it back to football, a woman's hopes and dreams ruined by the arbitrary decision of some corrupt and greedy dinosaurs.

 

Well yeah, if there was another puncture and someone got hurt then they would get battered (quite rightly). Still, we might be ok.

 

Reading the comments above, I've tried, I've really tried. Honestly, I tried as hard as I could for two minutes, it being the British Grand Prix and all.

 

I tried watching when I saw the comments too. Think I lasted three minutes.

Watching the Diamond League now. Much better.

 

Ah poor Christian , did da ickle wickle Sebastian not finnish da wace then ?

 

Now that Vettel is out, it'll be more interesting.

Come on Kimi! And also, come on Hamilton!

 

I respect the effort it's finished now anyway. I'll watch Farah later, just ran a 10k this morning, don't think I'll be giving him a race yet though.

 

Rosberg won it for Mercedes, from Webber and Alonso. Hamilton 4th.

 

Missed the first 6 laps due to being in bed

 

I must stop all this recycle centre stuff, as it is beginning to clutter up the place. I've already started cherry picking though. As you possibly know, I've occasionally been asked for the use of my van to throw away old stuff and up until now I've been to the tip about half a dozen times. But being a bit of a computer geek means that I can recognise a decent bit of kit from yards away. Which means I can't keep away from their computer cage. Yesterday, I brought away a motherboard/processor/heatsink and fan. Just a few moments ago I took them apart to see what the individual pieces were and look them up on Google. Oh, and I've tested them as far as I can without RAM and all appears OK, as far as it goes. The processor turns out to be an AMD Phenom II QUAD core running at 3.3Ghz and the compatible motherboard takes DDR3 memory. I don't have anything remotely that modern, but I thought I'd waste £6.20 on a 2Gb RAM stick to see if the whole caboodle checks out further. OK, if it's all a dud, then I've paid out £6.20 for some memory I no longer need and I have a good heatsink and fan. If it checks out fine I'm flabbergasted as to who would bother to upgrade from this kit so soon. A PC gamer perhaps, with an acute attack of upgraditis..?

 

Finally playing GT5 after it took about 24 hours to update and install. Motorsport is far more interesting this way.

 

Sweet baby Jesus.

 

But there has never been a motorcycle racing video game to either match watching the sport or riding a motorcycle for real.

 

I tried watching as exploding tyres sounded really exciting, but I fell asleep.

 

Not that I know of.

 

How dare you say GT5 is better than real motorsport GTR2 was always my weapon of choice when it came to racing games.

 

That just makes me angry.

 

Talking of games, anyone ever play Age of Chivalry? It's on sale on Steam this weekend and looks quite interesting

 

Baby on the way?

 

LOL No , I nicked the comment from someone when Mansells tyre blew in OZ all those years ago ................

That is what was alluded to though ;-)
