Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 That old coot in the red Nissan Micra this morning faffing at the traffic lights at J6 of the M4. This made me too late at the Slough (Cippenham) Asda meaning that the 6 Dolphin Cruisers knocked down to Quote

imirish11 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Not sure if I should complain or not, but spotted this from a random member on CAG, made me chuckle... [in regards to Lego Marvel for $19.99] "Went to Toys R Us and bought the X1 version. They didn't have the 360. (I wanted one of each to double up on gamerscore) Went accross the street to the Wal-mart with the ad. The person who rung me up was a douchebag and thought that a Iron Patriot minifig was worth $30. I got the manager to come over and she did the price-match. The Minifig is worth like $.25 in plastic. Threw it away." Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker This may sound silly but have you tried taken it apart and blowing all the dust out of it. I managed to melt a desktop processor by not doing this. Dust had been building up (over 6 years) on the cooking fins of the heat sink and had been hidden by the fan covering it. 1 Quote

I've already done that twice in the last year. It's got something to do with the heatsinks for the video card. Thanks for building laptops that could work as kitchen tops as well HP! Quote
wholovesboo Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Spent the morning hacking away at a wall of ice at the end of the driveway. Thanks a lot, snowplow. I did discover that a garden hoe works amazingly well breaking up the ice. I felt like a prospector with a pick axe. Quote

exciter1 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 A CAG should know better! No kidding! I've scored some great deals over on CAG, but my game backlog took over and I had to stop. I had some pretty good luck flipping some games when Best Buy had great sales or clearance deals on bundles, etc. Quote
StarCityBrickCompany Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 For all the Ice/snow complainers - Last month we spun off a suddenly icy highway at around 50 mph into a tree filled ditch (4 hrs from home). So a long commute isn't really all that bad. Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Could be worse, you could live in Somerset (pronounced summer-zzet ) Oh... the South-Western archipelago? Just kidding guys, I know how dreadful this is as I have friends in Wells and Cheddar. I couldn't believe that you can't get a train passed Dawlish now! Enjoy the end of Summer down South. Quote
