Sniffhost owe me a lot of money, but are deciding to ignore my emails for the past 2 years. I bought several domains and a hosting package from them. They took the money out of my bank, but never set up the domains or sent me details surrounding the host. I ended up buying the exact same domains from 123reg, despite having already paid for them. Would never deal with them again. I just use Streamline now

Rob even said he didn't make this topic as a slagging match. Dan has shown on many occasions that he is near on impossible to get hold of by phone and email, yet will always pop his head in these topics, so its an effective way of getting his attention and resolving the matter. And even if it is "only £5", at the end of the day he is a customer, and should recieve the approppraite service. The service doesnt vary on how much money you spend, so he has as much right to make a complaint as someone spending £5000

little early to be drinking isn't it?

Its really as easy as going out and buying some Ratchet straps and finding two solid objects to attach each end to. They had some slacklining down at the Outdoor show we did last year, and they let us try riding along them. I could actually ride along it further than I could walk. Awesome fun though.

I'm just in a festive mood...

Talk to me on MSN later on dude, I have some good news for you

Its not quite that simple though, as house prices rise and fall at the same rate. As your property goes back up in value, so do all other properties (to an extent, I'm generalising here) so even though you are technically making a certain profit on what you paid originally, to buy anything else will also cost more.

This may sound a bit stupid but have you looked into the terms and conditions of selling the shares?? The reason I ask is the majority of companys have a 12month period where you cannot sell them. It stops people just buying £1m worth of shares and selling them back on hours later to make a quick buck. With the shares I have in Gemalto, I can't sell mine for 18months.

Looks really nice, but can I just ask... You have specced it out with Echo "Super Light" components, and then run a sump guard and a bashring??

Awesome vid there Rowan!! Music was such a good choice and the edit was great. Good to see you rocking the neutral gear too.

Looking good there Ricky!! Can't wait until its finished

I based mine on a personal statement my dad got sent, which he said was well laid out. I'll try and find it and scan it in for you later on. Andy

I've sent a mail to all the local bike shops in the area with a pic and description, saying if anyone sees or hears of this bike to let me know.

Huh Doesn't he live in Leeds or something now?? Last bits I bought from him were here in like 2 days...

I bought some bits and bobs off Adam a few weeks back now, and I'm just kind of checking if anyone here knows him or has a number for him ect? Ive bought off him before and everything was fine and dandy, so Im 99% sure theres a genuine reason, but as hes not been on here or MSN since 29th Oct I thought I'd just check-up. Anyone know if hes on holiday or anything like that..? Thankyas for any help given

No, the CLoud9 is spaced further apart, to allow the use of the 1/8" KMC chains

Well I experienced the 'M' burger today... .. and I was a bit dissapointed really. It was tiny, could almost have done with about 3 of them to fill me up.

Canon XH-G1e ?? no.... ? I love mine. To be honest, the ones you've listed previously look pretty good. Short of browsig flebay for some 2nd hand bargains (if you want to go 2nd hand of course) then I'd go for that Sony. I dont think you will find much better in that price range. All the cameras in the under £200 bracket are all pretty much the same, so choose a brand you trust. The choice doesnt start to get a bit harder until you get into the £400-500 bracket when you start dealing with different sensors and so called "HD cameras". Or you could go really silly, and aim for the professional range at like £1000-5000+ like some of us.

Whoa Matt, that takes me back to a simpler time...

What are you jibbering on about young Kennard??

HDD cameras are useful, as it saves worrying about tapes ect. I've never used one myself so I cannot quote on how reliable or easy to use they are. For me, Ive always prefered to use MiniDV, as it allows me to keep an archive of tapes, until I'm ready to use them again and overwrite them. They are cheap to buy and you can stock up, carry a few spares around with you for when you fill one up ect. I dont know what you would do with an HDD camera when you fill it up. Whether you can delete them clip by clip, or have to clear the whole thing off at once, I wouldn't know.

Out of those, id say either the Panasonic NV GS, or the Sony HC62e, as they both have widescreen LCD panels. The sony has a better image stabiliser, which makes a massive difference to shots, as Nick Manning found out when I showed him. The Panasonic has a bigger Zoom, but if I'm honest, you wont ever be filming with such a zoom. I'd say the Sony HC62e if it was my own money.

Pub burgers are so much better, but if you really need your fast food fix, nothing will beat an XL Bacon Double Cheese burger...

At that sort of price, you have a fairly sizeable choice of cameras, from all the major brands. They are all much of a muchness and do roughly the same things. Its all mainly down to what you like the look of. You won;t be seeing much of a performance difference from any of them at that price. It's not until you go past the £500 mark that you start to see a difference. Don't be lured in by fancy effects and stuff, as I can garantee you wont ever use any of them. If you can find one for that price, which is reasonably likely these days, try to find one that uses 3CCDs. These will have a better quality and clarity compared to a standard DV. A final point would be to stay well clear of these cheap knock off import, so called "HD" cameras for like £200. They are not HD, by even the slightest of margins, and you will end up with a camera of worse video quality and build quality, compared to a similarly priced DV cam. I can give you some more specific links if you like, but I would just have a browse round Amazon (as in some cases now, Amazon is actually cheaper than Ebay) and see what the choice is. Look for things like a decent sized LCD, optical zoom and a decent image stabiliser.
