Ron&Hermione Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Tidying up my DVD collection and can't decide whether to put A Single Man under A or S, thoughts? (Other than I'm a sad twat)Surely you just have to find a DVD which starts with "The" and then whichever letter your heart tells you to put that under will reveal your feelings on the matter. On the Euromillions millionaire raffle the other day, I had the code SLR194421 and the winning code was SLR194985, how close in terms of minutes do you think I was away from winning £1million? Surely I can't have been that far off? It's going to annoy me if it's only a couple minutes because I rushed into the store and got in the queue like 20 seconds ahead of 3 other people.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 8, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2015 Tidying up my DVD collection and can't decide whether to put A Single Man under A or S, thoughts? (Other than I'm a sad twat) Â A. Â I'd put 'A View To A Kill' under A because it's not 'view to a kill', it's A view to a kill. Same goes for A Single Man. If Tom Ford had wanted you to put it under S, he'd have called the film 'Single Man'! Â EDIT: However, saying that, I'd hesitate to put most 'The' films under 'T'. I'm inconsistent.

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm going to put it under A, along with A Room For Romeo Brass, as with you I don't put films beginning with 'The' under T so I'll probably walk past my shelves for the next few days shaking my head at the inconsistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Why is Desperate Dan so called? What is he desperate for? Why not just Cowboy Dan? Seems like that would make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Murtz Posted February 9, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Anyone know much about sound systems? I'm looking for something for my tv. Ideally a soundbar and/or sub combo but would consider others. I have a Samsung HW E550 at the moment so want to get something much better. Budget is 400 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 9, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think it's a good thing. To a lot of people colourful dropdowns like those will look daunting. If they're going to get parents and kids interested in computer coding then it's how they'll have to market it for now. There was fuck all for me in terms of learning computing at school apart from those IT "lessons" where you'd learn the absolute basics. Â All we did in our Computing lessons in Secondary School was a shitload of PASCAL. Used to love coding in that, even more so than BASIC. Loved it. I imagine it's pretty much a dead language now. I've sure Visual Delphi was basically PASCAL but with a GUI. I think that came out around 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradyisgod22 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Anybody here a money/currency expert? I'm off to Italy in the summer and was just wondering if I should change up some euros now because apparently the pound is strong and il get a good rate or if I should leave it until the summer and get a better rate? Same questions for dollars too as I plan on hitting USA at some point this year! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted February 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2015 I can't remember which thread I first shared my friend's little girl Delilah's cancer story, but a few of you donated to a little pot for a day out for her last year.  I'm afraid they have been given even more bad news and right now they are relying on hope alone.  I'm not begging you all to donate again, but a new Go Fund Me page has been set up and it has the updated story on it if you wanted to know how she was doing. I guess my question is asking you guys if you could check it out and maybe share it. My heart is breaking for them and I wish there was something, anything I could do to help them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm certain there's no way around this, but a friend has had a big bill come out and is scheduled on a flight with us on Friday. In his current situation, he won't be able to come. However, we might be able to get someone in his place. On the KLM website, I noticed you can change the passenger's name if there was mis-spelling. I also have the option of editing date of birth and passport info. Could I get away with changing the passenger's name to our other friend's? I called up and they wouldn't do anything.

children of bodom Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm not sure anyone can help but I'll ask. How long does grieffing over a family member take. Â My uncle committed suicide about 13 days ago. Its weird at 1st I didn't take it in but since Friday i can't stop thinking about him, no matter what I do to keep busy his name just keeps popping into my head. I only saw him once a year at Xmas if that. Â His funeral is tomorrow. I just want to be able to watch TV and go about every day life. My parents keep telling me that with having aspergers it may take a while and because I tried to commit suicide its hitting me harder. Â If someone asked me a month ago to describe him, his middle name,who he supported football wise and what car he drove I would have no clue. Now I can't stop thinking about him and its doing my head in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2015 Â How long does grieffing over a family member take. Â How long is a piece of string? It's one of those things that differs for everyone. It's not like there's hard and fast rules to grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Does anyone know anything about electricity meters and tariffs? Â I moved recently and when I set up my account with Npower, they told me that the house has an old style duel feed meter left over from the property had electric heating. Even though the heating feed is now obsolete, apparently I'm now locked onto the highest tariff, can't set up a direct debit, can't have it changed, and can't change to another provider. Â Surely not, otherwise everyone else would still have these meters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
