Lemon Juice Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Any Bat fans out there? The Blu-ray set of the original TV series is available from Amazon in the UK. As good as it is to see this finally get a release the price is pretty steep. Â Great collectors item though with the mini Batmobile. I wonder if Jerry Lawler has it pre ordered?

WyattSheepMask Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 For something that is 120 episodes on BluRay (13 discs) with 3 hours of extras and collectables thrown in too, I'd say that price is fair for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Has anybody else's house been overrun by craneflies? There's been loads of them here for the past few days, massive fuckers they are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've seen a couple at work, but none around the house. My school used to get overrun with them every summer, so they don't really bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Me and the wife are staying in London for a few days next month (13-16). I haven't been for years and was wondering about Underground fares and the such. With us only being there a few days is it better just pay cash or can you get an Oyster card? If so, how do you go about getting one, can you just but them at stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 That's good to know. So are fares reduced for Oyster cards compared to just paying cash? Do we reckon £20 each would see us through for the time we are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 She's booked the hotel so I'm not sure where that is exactly but I know we're doing the zoo at Regent Park (so that's either Chalk Farm or Baker Street and walk through) and doing stuff in Covent Garden (so either go to Piccadilly Circus and walk or take the tube all the way to Holbon. Looking the website it seems to be saying £2.80 for a single, but like I say I'm not sure exactly where the hotel is. If I can top it up with more if I spend £20, then we should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 21, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2014 I paid for a U.S proxy. Too much of a faff to change it every week. Blockless was the site I used. I know about Netflix. Anything else I could use a good U.S. proxy for? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 WWE. Hulu. The various networks have catch-up on their sites, Parks & Recreation has longer versions of episodes (I don't know if they were produced for the BBC versions) that go up on the NBC site a day or two after the TV airing of the 20-minute version.

Flangedango Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm on the look out for a leather office chair. Max spend is about £200. Anyone got any suggestions for a good comfy one?  http://www.wayfair.co.uk/Hispanohogar-Office-Armchair-HISP1077.html  Looks pretty comfy to me.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2014 Can anyone explain to me why, when you try to rent through an agency, they want to do credit checks? I'm not asking them to borrow me money. In fact, I'm giving them £2000 up front as a deposit and advance, plus £100 to do all the contract shit and actually perform a credit check. I don't get it at all. My credit is horrible, my girlfriends is fine. But they want to credit check us both, even though we meet the income requirements and all that.

Paid Members unfitfinlay Posted September 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'd imagine it's in case you've got a history of running up a lot of arrears and then fucking off? Â I don't think they see the same stuff as, say, a credit card company would. I had a look at my file last month (free trial on checkmyfile.com) and it had a different rating that's available to landlords. That was actually really good despite my overall rating being rather crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I work for a Lettings agent and it's not a credit check per se, but more a previous landlord check/employment check. We'll check that you weren't in arrears with your previous property and/or paid rent on time. Also it's a check on your current employment, and whether that is likely to change during the tenancy - thus affecting your ability to pay rent.  The deposit you put down is to cover any damages there may be at the end of the tenancy, it doesn't secure anything at this stage.  They are a rip off though, our firm charges £100 per person, then outsources the actually check to another company who charge £21 a pop, netting a £79 profit per customer per tenancy. It's bollocks really, and just another money making scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 22, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks for that dude. I did a check on that website. I got a one star rating for normal credit but three stars for the one seen by landlords...so, should be alright! Thanks for the info as well, Max Power.
