  1. Being Tottenham I obviously despise the ARSEnal but funnily enough I hope they get 4th and not Everton. That's how low my season has sunk too
  2. McDonalds? In one of the world's most gastronomic locations. You should be shot. And then fed to McDonald's customers to complete the chain. Mind you. I've been to McD's in Paris. Just wanted to know if the scene from Pulp Fiction was right. Not because I think Paris is over-rated and expensive, no not at all.
  3. Looks like a nice apartment complex, funnily enough my missus grew up just around the corner, literally. It's a good base, though a 30 minute ride on the train either side of the city and you'll find much better beaches. Be aware there are a lot of nudist beaches By the time you get there I'm sure you'll weighed down with suggestions and tips, I suppose it depends on what else you like doing...personally the visits to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia don't really float my boat but let me know what you're looking for. Bringing kids? For a trip to Europe you guys made a good choice in Barcelona.
  4. Being of Irish heritage I'd better stick me oar in. Poitín = An Irish win. You can stick an olive in it if you really have to.
  5. BTW July is a great month to go. It will be damn hot but it will be zero% chance of rain (maybe the occasional electrical storm).
  6. I can probably be of help here. My partner/girlfriend/missus of 8 years is from Barcelona. She's been living with me in London for 6 years, I've been many times and I'll probably end up living there at some point. Great weather, October will still be nice and you can expect 70-80 degrees. Rain is unlikely but the climate in general's up the spout lately so who knows.. Great food, seriously, these guys know how to cook, eat where the locals eat, you won't be disappointed. All cities have their shitty tourist traps but I've never had a bad meal there. I can probably speak with Marina and ask for her advice on where to stay but the good thing is that its not a massive city, has a beach, a port, a little mountain with a castle/fort and you can get round really easily by metro, tram or foot. Young people are pretty cool and they have a very family-orientated social culture, and are very proud of their culture and language, separate from spain. Give me a shout if you need any info Bona nit.
  7. Just for info: I play football with some Hackney miscreants from 5pm to 7pm in Hackney Downs park. Every Wednesday until October. We used to play in London Fields but started to get surrounded by dickhead hipsters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I Anyone who can make it, Rich, is very welcome
  8. So long as it's at least 5% then it's stella and you're a lucky lucky boy The day I reach the new country I wil be all englished-up, red sun burnt skin, pasty white legs and a football. Come at me dear cousins
  9. 4.2% and brewed in Scotland. How can that be? I'm assuming the decimal place should come after the 2 and not after the 4... Great name for a beer
  10. We should organise a UK invasion of USA, Forever Gaming style, teach those boys about the joys of Stella Artois. I've never been across the pond. It'd be a multicoloured benetton UK invasion of course, with Jocks, Dutch, Plastic Paddies, Mockneys and the whole menagerie...
  11. Man, they're so small, if one was to just go missing I'm sure no-one would notice
  12. I'm bitter and twisted, it's the going rage these days
  13. "Come at me bro" literally cracked me up
  14. Seriously despise Real Madrid, hoping they have a Munich type plane accident at some point. a - Franco's team b - BIggest neo-nazi supported team in Spain, which is saying something when they share a league with Sevilla. c - The Spanish state has bailed them out time after time after time, in some of the most dodgy deals in world football d - Luka Modrich robbed from the mighty spurs e - Gareth Bale robbed (sort of) from the mighty (sort of) Spurs f - My missus is from Barcelona (most important reason of all). g - Ronaldo's wink I do have a soft spot though for Althletic Bilbao, fucking love the Basques.
  15. Yep, from I can see you don't need to do much with the Sammy, it's a little beauty isn't it? You know you can get 1000GB SSDs now. Samsung's is about £360 - £380 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Storage/SSDs/300GB+-+1TB+SSD/1TB+Samsung+840+EVO+Series+2.5%22+SATA+6GB%2Fs+%28SATA-III%29+Solid+State+Drive+SSD+?productId=56768 Awesome.
  16. lol I thought it was a character in Deus Ex that I hadn't remembered
  17. I've played about 30 minutes so far, I'm liking it
  18. I'm in need of some advice. Seems to be conflicting on the interwebz. Now, I know that defragging is a no no when it comes to SSDs. That's about the sum total of my knowledge for tidying/housekeeping my hard-drive. Does anyone have any advice for clearing away the clutter? I'm a novice with these things.
  19. Sad bastard that I am I went and purchased it....as if I already don't have about 50 games not yet played Cheers!
  20. Rich - you the man (especially after saying nice things about the pc...) x edit: lol just realised I quoted myself, daft bastard
  21. I played Deus Ex on my xbox360 when it came out. I thought it was a quality well-made game apart from the crappy boss fights. I haven't played it since I completed it but that video makes me want to get on it again. Top bananas.
  22. The main thing for me is to be able edit PC game footage and then to be able to put on youtube in 1080p. I want to be a bit imaginative and have the ability to overlay music or voice tracks ontop of the recording. I also want to be able to add text e.g I bring up a map in-game. On the video I want to be able to draw on that map a path or write some information. I want to use decent software that isn't overly laborious that isn't too expensive and does what I want simply and without fuss. I'll try and catch up with you over the weekend Rich. I bought a decent PC end of August and making vids was one of the reasons my better half allowed me it in the first place so it's about time I got my arse in gear.
  23. Note to self. Do not read Diddums posts when at work surrounded by people with no sense of humour.
  24. Or that it's April 1st
