I think i will forget the bonsai idea. im after something that will look great on my desk at work, and bonsai trees fit that bill nicely. I didnt put much thinking into their natural conditions! I dont want a small droopy potted plant but something that looks a bit more elegant (if that makes...

Edit - i gave read they dont like being indoors and specifically in artificial office environments

Hi, Not sure if anyone on here is knowledgable when it comes to Bonsai trees? Im looking at getting one for my desk at work, but usure if the conditions are right. Its a light and airy office and i am about 10ft from floor to ceiling windows on two sides so should get natural light too. I...

Photos are heavily doctored though. Look at the colour saturations of them. Be hard to win when the mountain is bright red! Its not all about the likes, there is judging involved which is on my side. The Striped catfish you see on my entry has never been caught in 5 years except by me. Its the...

ADMIN - i hope this is allowed? - It is fish related, albeit on a bigger scale. Hi all, I am currently entered in a photo competition on Facebook (not a hardcore professional one) with the subject being fishing photos in and around a particular complex in Thailand. You are only allowed to...

Hi all, Slightly off topic I am having alot of trouble transferring files (music) from my phone to my laptop. My phone is a Samsung s7 and the laptop is a fairly new Toshiba with good performance. Usually, i plug my phone into the USB slot, it will auto connect and transfer no issue. I am...

I dont play it alot, but its useful for DVDs and TV shows etc. Probably THE most annoying little problem it could have been :lol:

I now have a working PS3. You absolute legend, thank you so much for your help, and everyone else that chipped in. Who knew aquatic gardeners are also tech wizards?

I will give this a try tonight thanks! Its odd because i know the TV works, i know the HDMI ports work and i know the PS3 works, so it must be the connection between the two. On a side note, i would be loathed to throw the PS3 away anyway because i wouldnt want to buy a 4 when the 5 cant be...

Unfortunately the myth continues. All four boxes were already ticked in the screen settings 576p 720p 1080i 1080p I tried unticking the 1080i and 1080p alternately and starting up again, to no avail. Next suggestion please? :banghead:

Thanks for the suggestion, i will look into this. Any idea how to change it? I assume its in the settings menu? We have had samsung TVs in the house for about 8 years (4 of them) and they have always been spot on. I replaced my original 21 inch with a new 32, and now i have an issue! Its...

No updates were done before the problem, so they shouldnt have caused it. Ive tried holding it down it numerous ways and i never get two beeps together. One beep when you turn it on, and the second after 5 seconds. It brings up a screeb saying 'a new HDMI connection has been found, do you...

Hi all, Im hoping someone on here has experienced this, or might have a solution. Last night my PS3 wouldn't connect via HDMI to my Samsung TV. It was working the day before as normal. I have tried the cable in HDMI slot 1 and 2 and the relevant source setting on the TV. I have tried...

Hi guys A little update. After emailing the CEO and having no reply to that, i submitted all the evidence to paypal asking for a refund and opened a case. Today i have received a full refund but the seller did not add any notes to the case. (Typical, getting a word out of them is nye on...

The problem is that i would still like the goods as they are the only people that seem to sell what i want. I sent an email to their CEO last night stating the issues i have had (a timeline of problems) and what i would like to be clarified. I will give them a couple of working days to reply...

Hi all, Ive been having alot of problems with a well known aquatic retailer, as i have ordered a tank and cabinet only to be promised many different delivery dates and that i will be contacted and nothing has ever materialised. I have retained all messages i have exchanged with the company...

yup, might as well wait a year, bound to be massive issues with both of them. GTA5 on the PS3 is still an epic game, it wont be worth the extra expense of the ps4 to play it that's for sure!

no, im 18 :D i started the job in november, so i think i was put on an emergency tax code or something silly like that, for a little while...

hi guys, have rung the tax office and cant even get a simple answer from them! ive paid tax on my job, but i do not earn over the thresh-hold where i shoud be paying tax... what form do i need to fill in to claim back my money? hoping someone here might know that, all i got from them was an...

hi all, very common problem i know... when im typing it always jumps back to mid-sentance so i keep having to go back and delete stuff... why is it happening (laptop = dell studio 15) im positive im not touching the mouse when im typing, so i dont think it can be that... ideas? fixes? its...

there isnt much to choose between the HD and the incredible S. incredible has a slightly longer battery life and the front facing camera (1.3mp) - which is cr*p and i wont use when you have an 8mp on the back. and how many normal people do video calling on their phone? the HD has a .3 of an...

but compared to my current samsung tocco lite, any smart phone is better! i think i would rather buck the trend and go with HTC :) plus the money side of it, if im saving a fiver a month and a hundred quid initial cost, thats alot more holiday or fish!

iphones are a total waste of money... expensive outlay and monthly cost as already said, plus insurace is more than any other phone (along with blackberrys) because thieves target them... why pay a fortune for a name? people that buy them seem to want to jump on some wagon if you ask me...

its just the cost of the galaxy 2 that puts me off. i only really want a 12 month contract, so it means im going to be paying around £20 a month for what i want in terms of usage, but i would have to stump up £350 for the phone to start with. whereas its 250 for the desire HD... in my opinion...

ive been looking closer at the HTC desire HD. and it does look amazing. camera is fab and excellent sound / camera and video quality, with a decent flash as well. only a couple of negatives really it seems... battery life (as usual with most smart phones, but remember this phone has a huge...

hi all, i know theres some lovely techy people on here so id thought id ask here! im after a new smart phone (not the iphone) but im confused with which ones are best etc... im looking at... blackberry 3G HTC Desire HD HTC Incredible S (is there any differances between this and the above...

ADA have said that the only problems they have had is a little 'spilt water'. - as the ada tanks and cabinets are built to endure situations like earthquakes. - how true that is i dont know, i would rather buy a tank knowing it is built to take me crashing around in it and moving objects than...

someones got the modding bug now :lol: ive tinted the headlights, but only around the bulbs so it stays legal. the outside 'glass' is not tinted. i will get a pic of them so you can see! with the rear lights, i taped the reflectors up, sprayed them with 'smoke' spray. thought that they...

when it gets warmer i will give my car a full detail and wack some pics up! ive been modding away so its all good :D and all done myself. since the last update windows tinted headlights tinted rear lights tinted HID kit installed (you see me comming) daytime running lights (led's) red...

drop a hand grenade in there. that will cure alll your current problems... some may arise shortly after though. not much you can do mate apart from move some shrimp to another space if they are valuable.

Big tme DJ. like the likes of van buuren and tiesto. (notice the better comes first) getting paid sh*t loads to essentially listen to and mix music.. or would love to be a pro race car driver... but im now 18 and have missed out on my chance really.. should have got into karting at a young age.

i see, yes 7 days isnt long enough for it to ripen up. i think they have unknowingly sold you a very young cheese. take it back and be british about it! - have a real good moan.

im only 18, but i know crackers, cheese and a bottle of something red and fruity. (not so much rose) avoid the dry reds, go with something to complement the crackers, as they are already dry. i often like some nice tomatoes (vine ripened, and get out a bit before to get to room temp), some...

its a cheese that should rippen. it will then go softer in the centre, you have just bought it a bit young. if you leave it out the fridge it will obviously rippen quicker than putting it in the fridge. it is hard to tell how long it will take to soften up, it could be a week, it could be two...

how far have you got in the first level of nazi zombies? is there any way to turn the power on? me and a friend kept dying at level 5 as we were spending all our time trying to find out how the level works, the initial guns are rubbish! what doors are best to open first? has anyone found...

best cods so far COD 2 Modern warfare 1 and of course Nazi zombies on cod5. you have to love that! cod2 is still the best IMO.

i thought saw was pretty average when i went ages and ages ago. - must have been a year now! the first bit was good but then after the 'big' drop (which it isnt) i thought the rest was boring. almost as if they had run out of money and just decided to wack a corkscrew in and thats it. was...

its anyones game now. ive evened it up :)

we cheated on the ISA's back in the day, the teachers didnt even care.... friday afternoon and you can get away with murder. im going to do business studies (4 years) with a year in industry (year 3). i hope to go and work for someone good like IBM etc. after my fourth year, grades and...

i got into KENT uni. im so happy. was my first choice and i really wasnt expecting to get the grades with the minimal work i do. but i snuch in 8)

welcome to the green side. :D

this is quality as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gb9v4LI4o hes done loads of various ones.

mumford are quite popular. but to me all modern 'rock' music is fairly dire. cant beat the old days where people could actually play their instruments rather than running everything through a computer. Indie music is an official joke. people say 'wow isnt so and so a good musician'.... erm no...

chris rea - stony road + Road to Hell are fav's :D

if they are mosquite larvae all fish go mental for them. even my huge koi jump about a foot out the water to grab the actual mossies as they come near the water!

your lucky, down here you still get ID'd at about 25. :lol:

happy b'day mate. how wierd, you have your 18th the day after mine :lol: small world eh? it definately does feel different to be 18. have a good one buddy.

oooo where did you get your temp comtroller? im keen to have a look myself. on larger tanks you get less of a swing obviously so my 4x2x2 has got to 25.9 once. normally its around the 25 mark.

arty, are you able to write in correct english? i really struggle to make sense of your posts... (sorry if you are not english or theres a proper reason why you cant)

i think you landed your plane in the wrong place mate.

im still tired from watching the whole of this years 24 hours. what a race!!! best one in years, and an audi 1,2,3 !! incredible stuff. that pic of hamilton is mind boogling. look at homw many little bits of bodywork there is. so much stuff going on! aero has gone crazy.

who's watching? for those without eurosport and with nothing to do all night... http://www.justin.tv/freddy49barsa il be up ALL night, gutted i cant be there this year. :(

yeah, i need to go and get a grommit for the back, and then de connect the motor etc. be sting aerial is an ebay job i feel. black or red, thats the question... cos i dont think the red will be the same red!!

Quinn is the cheapest. and remains so. Adrian flux is slightly more expensive. Most other insurerers wont even insure a 17 year old, and if they do its a ridiculous amount. They smash you for mods.... They assume everyone with alloys drives like a mental case. i like cruising showing them...

i know but if i tell the insurance company it goes up to £3000. thats alot of money for a 17 year old to be paying. i wont be driving it next year as im off to uni, so i will probably put the factory wheels back on it and give it to my mum to drive. yeah my tyres went from like 165' to...

they are happy to insure me but being 17 insurance goes to about £3000 :lol: a joke.

no no, there is a small ford badge on the steering wheel, which i have just swapped for a black and red ford badge. i havent taken the wheel off/apart at all! :D

the wheels would, but thats about it. its anything that affects the performance or the handling of the car. seeing as my insurance company went bust and didnt even send me a letter or email, i dont really care anymore! £1600 for a 17 year old is robbery. no wonder no-one tells them about mods.

(obviously you cant see all these in the photos but..) alloys No side black strips De-tangoed the front inicators Smoke side indicators (done since pic was taken) New black/red for badges all round, instead of blue, including steering wheel (again done since pic was taken) Full audio...

agreed. spoiled it for me as well.

im 17 and driving a 2001 fiesta. 55K on the clock currently. As you can see, its not quite standard.... :lol: cheers

combine that with the sudden shock of ammonia etc and you got yourself a killer. never helps when you see the acclimatising and some kid is banging on the glass!

oh sorry for dial up viewers, you going to be sitting there for ages! better put the kettle on eh? :lol:

SNAP :D spot the waterfall! just a couple to share with you.... view from the top of said waterfall more water falls and landscapes. (note the basalt columns in the pic below) Note my group standing on the rock on the left hand side. shows the pure scale! At the side of...

i went to iceland in april last year and visited most of the waterfalls pictured and also walked on many glaciers that are now under threat including vatnajokull. what an incredible country, if you havent been, you must go. beaches that have soft volcanic black sand are truly wierd! the blue...

hi, i want to buy new alloys for my car, but being that they are online, its hard to imagine what they will look like. if i can supply a full side on shot of my car, and then the pic with the alloys, is it possible to photoshop the alloys onto the car? if so can anyone do that for me, and...

right with you brother. i would be hapy if you advised me against buying a piece of crap. if people dont like to hear negatives vibes, they can happily go live in N.Korea. :D +1 for staying.

i use it as well ,but i dont get the invite things? what do they enable you to do?

still havent been able to play the game at all. it just crashes to destop loading up the singleplayer. i get about some text on the screen about the japanese scientist and during the second set of text it just freezes and then crashes. i cant even alt + F4 or CTRL + ALT + DEL. During...

it is pretty good. but how can i have 200 points, and have 1 win when i havent even managed to log onto a server! i havent fired a single shot. too many problems with the game! also, you cant enter a clan tag into the signature which i have on the game.

what a joke of a game. havent even fired a single shot and it has crashed 5 times on multiplayer and 2 times on single player. Worse game ive ever tried to install and play! im a massive BF fan but cod games are far simpler. i have the latest PB and all that crap as i have been playing BF2 up...

hi, just another slightly non plant related topic, but seeing as dans topic is generating some car and bike fans from the wooodwork i thought i would start a sports car thread. This is for cars like GT, endurance etc. not F1 and other 'open' cars. I have been to Le Mans in France the last 2...

thats quality, and people have actually bid on it :lol:

x-fire all the way! i love computer gaming, i used to be a pro on cod2 (still my favourite cod) and i ran a clan for a time. We used to play other clans during the week, on various maps, and many that have NEVER been played before. (created by friends) Some of these maps were better than the...

im a PC games as i find them much better, you have less winging americans playing online. on BF2, my name is nickparkers (sometimes 119th* nickparkers if im representing the clan) i play mostly infantry only servers as i get annoyed by the constant camping in the tanks and APC's and the...

and steal the name of this site. 'stem soldiers' :lol:

happy b'day mate think you are overstocked though!!! :lol:

join the club! you play online much?

i like the car, for me its cool. :D not a fan of the pool table though. how is he getting such a large salary, hes not a good player tbh. But man city are loaded so theres my answer.

it wuld be cool if you knew what it was called. lancia delta :lol:

its a 2001 Y reg, ford fiesta 'flight' (mk5 fiesta, i belive in most areas they are similar to the mk4's) had another google and still nothing. :evil:

ive just hopped over to talk audio, and the guys over there reckon that i shouldnt bother with 6x9's. they say i should just up the door speakers i currently have and get an amp and a sub box in the boot. (seperately they suggest) http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/10206.html...

so, the juice speakers i have linked to will be fine? i have never taken the head unit out, so i might do that tommorow!

what do you mean? do i need to get a new head unit? or an adapter of some kind. so basically, i can run pretty much any 6x9's off a 4x50w head unit? something like this for example http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/reviews_m-juice-js694_p-23115.htm the reason im going with the edge stuff is...

i dont have factory rear speakers. i only have the standard front 2. thats why i need more sound in the car and some more ooommphhh.

cant beat some good UFO. :) walk on water is an awesome albumn. recommended massivley if you like rock.

hi guys, im trying to sort out a decent ICE system for my car. i already have a parcel ready for some 6x9's, but i want to put an edge box in the boot...

yeah you do, the chance to reply to this and get 4001 posts :lol: well done mate, been a credit to the forum. :D

thanks guys, yeah my b'day is early july but i didnt start til a month later. its expensive though. £35 for an hour and a half lesson, £50 to get a provisional license. £62 to book practical test. (plus the hire of your instructors car if you use it = £65) about £40 for the theory test...

yup have had a car for a couple of months now, a 2001 fiesta flight 1.3. a very nice first car for a 17 year old guy. plenty of space for pimpin' :lol: yeah, i have always wanted to get up to TGM, and we do have family friends in wales so im sure i can blag an extra day on our trip to pop...

hi guys, i just passed my driving test and im dead chuffed. was icy when i took my test this morning but i found it not to bad. got 1 minor which is not too bad. (15 is a pass, 16 a fail) :D hopefully soon, i will able to drive to places like TGM for the meets.

love him, brutal planet (album) is amazing. well worth getting.

am i allowed to speak up now james :lol: i have to confess i did know this was in the pipeline, but it looks pretty neat. quick question guys, are you able to oder some plants that arent in your current list? (feel free to drop me a pm)

wow, thats so nice to hear. makes a change from all the horrific stories you hear in the paper. should have got his number :lol: = :oops:

Re: what car are we driveing? im 17, got my driving test comming up in a couple months. got myself a 2001 Fiesta flight 1.3 quality little car. great for people my age. (has some vrrrrm too but ssshhh :lol: )

wow, they look awesome, really really tasty. one thing that puts me off cakes is the dryness of some of the shop ones, i often have to have a good amount of cream or an alternative to make it less dry.

isnt this a samsung creation to advertise their LED's?

lol, congrats mate. i can feel a nano comming on.... :D
