I have only discovered this in the last few days but it drives me up the bloody wall!
Its the word leisure and the way some people pronounce it! this american woman was talking in very fluent english and then said "Lee sure" i was like wtf and it escaped my memory... a few days later i was watching a documentary and another woman said the same thing!! "Lee sure" :mad:
Well as if my PS3 being busted wasn't bad enough, my old laptop is refusing to start up on me. It just goes to a blue screen as soon as it tries to start up window. Uff! I freakin' hate how technology just arbitrarily decides to stop working.:bomb
EDIT: OK, so I think it's sorted. For some reason it had reset all the BIOS settings and was in SATA mode when needed to be in IDE mode. Weirdness.
i bought a ps2 game only to find out my ps3 wont play them so now im PISSED OFF!
Chainmail... :bomb
I recieved this today and as im on my ps3 i can copy and paste it here!

Yesterday I wanted to load my self painted piranha on my psp. It didn't work and I didn't understand why. I tried it again and again, with no success. Flint tried it also at his PC, with the same result. Finally we had a suspicion and Flint gave me his memory card and tadaa... So there must be something wrong with my own one.
Now I have to buy a new memory card (the same Flint has) and all my records, I had collected on my old one, are for the waste! :(
@Rennfisch
Ah, a broken memory stick... had that happen to me before, and I lost a Wipeout Pure save, right after I did 300 laps and set a new record on Odessa Keys, and had to do it all over again. :bomb :lol
But if you want to keep your Pulse records (you were talking about Pulse, right?), can you not just copy your Pulse profile from your old memory stick to your new one?
To get to the Pulse profile, plug your PSP into a PC with a USB cable, then go into the PSP folder, then the SAVEDATA folder, and your Pulse profile should be in there, named UCES00465P0000. Copy this folder onto the PC, then just copy it back to the same location on your new memory stick (/PSP/SAVEDATA).
There's probably some easier method using a PS3, but I don't have one, so I don't know. ;)
@MrSmadSmartAlex:
happy, happy, joy, joy :clap
My records are all on the new menory card! Merci, danke, thank you!! :D
McAfee internet 'security'!!!
seems more interested in selling your crap than actually doing anything. and unless you install its updates it just stops working without telling you, :blarg
shouldn't complain really as it was thrown in for free but still, trade descriptions act 'n all! :g
also the launch of the new ipad. i dont understand it it cost 500 effing quid?!?!? they say they've created a new market? what the overly large expensive phone market or the overly expensive underpowered laptop market
I don't like how my friends send me messages on that they're saying that they're "giving away free PSN redeem codes". It does NOT work, I've tried it before. That kinda irked me on how they send me any kind of message like this.
delete them off your friend list.sound like douchebags to me..better to have no mates than those type of mates :p
True, except one of the players from my friends list is my cousin (and I can't delete him, even though he made a mistake). D:
ok for your cousin just accidiently spill your coke over his nice white t shirt by accident when you see him..:p
Haha I'll see what I can do. :g
I don't know what is causing it but my computers are doing the total reverse of yours, mine are going to IDE instead of SATA.Quote:

I think I must be suffering some serious problems with power surges during the early morning hours when I'm asleep, loads of those long life light bulbs are crapping out on me and I'm having heaps of PC problems like never before.
I can't take a trick ATM.
Last week I went to build a new PC and bought a new i7-2500k chip, 2 X WD 2TB HD's, a veciloraptor HD for the OS, 8gig of 1333 ram, new case, Win 7 pro 64 and then disaster.
I find out Intel had recalled all 1155 MB's because of a controller chip problem that stuffs up the SATA 3g ports.
So I can't build a new PC till the replacements come back on the market in late March/ April.
I might as well wait until May/June when the Z68 chipped boards come out.
Then I can overclock and have the Intel on board graphics without needing a video card, can't do both ATM with the current H67 or P67 chips, it's one or the other.
It might be a blessing in disguise, I've just got to find a way to fix [keep running] the ones I have till then.:frown:
...When you don't die from chain mail. I was told that I was gonna die if I didn't send it on, why wasn't this promise fulfilled? :bomb
:P
you dont want to die mdhay..well maybe you do..but try not too cos its wrong..you got lots of stuff you gotta do.we all die in the end so we gotta do as much stuff as possible till our unavoidable death arrives..
chainmails are really annoying..especialy the death threat ones..
my cough is annoying me today it just wont go..its noisy and really bugging me now.
Infoxicated closing the football thread...
Football is all about disagreeing, if every football fan agreed then there would be no football. but realistically its all give and take and in the end its just friendly banter.
iv been watching the active members list drop and drop, i wonder why.... if you disagree with somebody here you become an outcast and become ignored.
I feel like its me that causes problems here lol and im sorry if iv ever offended somebody.
I think i will leave the forum now, so if im on your psn friends list feel free to remove me lol.
But good luck to the remaining cup participants. Wipeout is ace :+
Oh my god, if you have a problem with the way things are done, there's no need to put it in here and get all melodramatic. Can't you just do what I did and send a friendly message to the man himself??
It's no wonder things get closed with all this bs.
edit:
I've just had a browse through other threads and there's a lot of bickering going on in WZ once more...... that time of the year is it?
Don't worry about it Geeza, we all contributed to it's downfall. Let it go, it's in the past. It was probably doomed from the start anyway :+.Quote:

Either they enjoy the arguments or they feel their voice has been taken away somehow.
Also, far too often people lose track of the discussion. This isn't just going off topic, but also concerns thread which just become a series of isolated posts without any real value. Obviously there'll always be some of that, otherwise we'd be trying to have a 100-way cross-conversation, but these days it seems like even discussion forums become a bit too much like a series of disparate twitter posts, or facebook status updates.
I think banter is fine but it's always a fine line between what is and what isn't. When it comes to football I've always felt that people seem incapable of having a proper discussion about it. Also, the text people write on the internet comes largely without any hint of the writer's demeanour, so we pretty much make it up ourselves, based on how we feel about the subject. Then that leads to misunderstandings and exaggeration.
All the above contribute to threads being locked. However, from the odd forum I've seen elsewhere, I don't think there is a vastly disproportionate amount of locked threads here. People still seem to give largely positive feedback about this place as a community too, and that's pretty much based on the values it was established with from the start. So it's only logical that whatever those values are, that we should try and maintain them. Yes we could explain things a bit more when we make decisions and stuff - I certainly always thought that - but to be frank, I've seen now that justifying every decision would basically make this a 24 hour job some times. This post itself has taken me about half an hour to write, just trying to get my message across properly and constructively. I used to try and do it more often but found it was just consuming my evenings.
I have to be honest, because of all the above, I didn't expect a football thread to stay as good natured as it did, for as long as it did. But it's not as if there's any shortage of places to discuss football now, is it?:?
Welcome to the USA- we say what we say n get it out. N don't give a f.... being outcast or shunned.Quote:

I'm still laughing that the first football topic got closed. But it does not mean you shouldn't make a second one. And let your talk about Soccer ( football for the east side of the world, Canada, Mexico, central and south America ) live on. Cause I'm going to keep cheering for Manchester United, Team USA MEN'S AND Females. And maybe one other team that one of u non Man U fans likes. Who made the first football topic, Mr. Pub aka phlang's brother. Then do another one. Hell monitor it yourself. But remember I'm still going to bring Man U and Team Usa up. When they win and when crap happens.
Nobody is creator of its doom. You wanted fan response. You gonna get it like a gleaming light to a bursting supernova.
Good bad n ugly n cute.
What I got to say on some more grinding
Is people across this country need to go back n support the small business or business man in each state across the country. I work for a guy who's a small business. And still needing more support from towns people and people. And more important the stingy banks for a loan to help grow this business. Again the rating for giving a loan and way they decide to give it or not. i still believe it as discriminated and getting worse.
My states new governor said she would give business a tax cut on things. The b..... hasn't gotten off her flat ass and proved that statement, I mean lie she gave after coming into office.
Support your local small business company. Keep them alive
T'was sarcasm, Jasmin. :lol :gQuote:

Waking up with random scars on your body. Not exactly scars, but as if someone's given you a really big paper cut across your chest, or back, or...erm...lower back area. Weirdness.:blarg
9:52pm? Thats a rockstar lifestyle and a half there :lolQuote:

I would whether be alone, then let a fun not bad thing. Like fans of soccer die n be said it died cause people really showed themselve. Which they have all right to do.Quote:

Real fan would have done it. Like I would put on an Oakland raider fan outfit that copies the The Road Warriors from WWF (WWE) it would have me looking like then.
I've read that 3 times now.... and I'm still none the wiser to what it means :) Sorry.
im still sick with virus or bacteria. i'll edit for ya later
What's grinding my gears ATM is being laid off from work [I've been expecting it] and a faulty hard drive that is beeping while I am typing this, it's driving me crazy.
I wish it would just STFU :brickwall
It's like having somebody constantly trying to get your attention while you are trying to do something.
Not a good day.
What!
you want to explain what you mean ATM
like we talking about the right ATM here.
ATM=at the moment.
Yeah, I figured that could be it. Interestingly I have been waking up every morning with a slight bloody nose. But I'm fairly sure I just have actual sinus problems.;) Meh, as long as there's a logical explanation then I'm not fussed, aliens or otherwise. Not as if I'm making use of that sleep time anyway.:)Quote:

im feeling a little better today but still a way to go i think..not looking forward to the nasty cough you get as you almost finish the flu with.
yep
i took two different theraflu medicines, dayquil, halls, and something else
back to back with the dayquil and thermaful each day. tried not to go over the doseage danger
unless you dont like the liver.
sucked on a whole package of throat medication. that suppose to maximum numb pain or anything else. well. i took a whole package of 8 cherry flavored pieces in less than the 12 hours n some i worked.
and sucked on 8 halls throat and couch pieces.
like my mom said. me and my brother both have had strep throat. except he got it again this year and i get something close to it. but wasn't it.
i still have the coughing left to kill. might have to do with mucas that is left over. and i still take a gurgle of iodized salt and hot water, chicken broth, and whatever else i make to cook.
