Blimey that was good!

On a lighter note, the Portsmouth Supporters Trust could do worse than adopt that song as their anthem!

 

Oh dear...

Please could someone tell me how to get a picture in your sig?

Thanks in advance!

Like this you mean..?

Simply copy and paste the image, not the location.

Bit big isn't it..? Make sure you reduce it in size first. I'll remove it in a minute or so

EDIT: Removed it.

 

Thanks for your help TSS.

I've decided to do away with a sig, and just got a new avatar that suits my username.

 

How much would you pay for a shower proof radio ?

never seen a celebrity so obsessed with a bigger celebrity/band before, I don't think.

he's loving it.

 

Obviously a mistake , but seriously, I am never in a shower long enough to warrant a radio.

 

free delivery? bargain.

 

Yeah, ebay, Amazon, etc... are littered with mistakes of that nature. Like you, I'm not in the shower long enough. However, there's always the Smartphone for those 10 minute ultra-necessary moments and a bathroom is a great amplifier.

 

moisture in the air might void your warranty though.

 

I've done it once or twice and have kept a window open to avoid just that possibility. Besides, unless I spend a fair old time under the shower, condensation isn't too much of a problem in my bathroom. You're right though, and I don't make a habit of it.

 

If you have insurance you can just claim accidently damage. Just a warranty, depends how much moisture is inside.

 

never had gadget insurance so no idea what it's like. household insurance or similar surely it would affect your premium and there would be an excess.

warranty, it just matters if moisture indicaters are triggered. unless there's been a change lately.

apple were loading up on those things last time I cared about it.

 

Why does LoTR Online always take so long to patch?

 

Home contents. I'm pretty sure it's covered. I like my Galaxy S2 though. It's the first mobile phone I've ever actually grown attached to because it does practically everything I could ever wish from it, and is a very nice item to use, so I like to look after it.

BTW, remember I was talking about that 40" Samsung Smart TV the other evening [on this thread]..? I bought it yesterday from Richer Sounds [always a pleasure going there] for the relative and took it over to him and set it up. I can only hope the swear filter is on because **** me, what a telly..! It's not a TV anymore but, like a Smartphone is a computer that can make or take phone calls, this is a computer with a big screen attached. I was very impressed indeed.

I'll be going back to his place to attach and set up his tiny Novatech NBoxii-i3 PC to it, when Novatech have built it [manufactured on request], but I'm not 100% sure he actually needs it. Yes, it has 1TB of storage and Windows 8.1, so we'll see. But what a computer screen, eh..?

 

If you are on a phone contract they will sort it for around £30. I have had loads of people phoning me without insurance having messed up their phone. No need to get it done under house insurance really.

 

I worry about those, they improve all the time but the first few generations were old broken crap by the time they hit the market.

Much prefer a quality screen with the horsepower connected separately.

 

Yeah my Samsung can do calls, Skype etc etc. Kinda mad how much stuff is on a tv these days.
