  1. God that video's a blast from the past
  2. £80 surely isn't going to get you anything much better than cheapest auto factor kit? I've had Green stuff pads on 2 of my cars, the first set I really liked (although they are wildly dusty) the second set literally fell apart, the friction material fell off the backings, wouldn't buy again. Anyone who actually has a clue about pads (which I don't) says they're utter cack too...
  3. The Hilux/camper is going too, actually gutted, strictly speaking my first own home
  4. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/making-a-murderer-cold-case-investigator-believes-notorious-serial-killer-was-guilty-and-not-steven-a6824891.html An interesting bit of reading.
  5. I don't think £50 is that bad for the ones you posted if you're looking at 30+ish anyway? Plastic ones though, no chance
  6. Not even if the same police had done exactly that to the same defendant before?
  7. That's exactly the point, reasonable doubt, I don't believe anyone could say they were 100% certain that Steven did it, even less twelve people be 100% on the matter!
  8. Surely the logical thing to do if that were the case would be to not reach a verdict at all as it had to be unanimous...?
  9. The bulk of the older footage would have been from his previous case and public coverage. It shows you at the end that Steven is in possession of copies of ALL of the case files, which would have included a lot of what was shown. I was foreman on a jury on a case of two young lads on trial for burglary a few years ago, there was almost nothing to pin it to them, but the prosecution put forward a good case. When we went to deliberation by show of hands we were 8-4 not guilty, when I asked the 4 why they thought the lads were guilty all one or two of them had was previous form and they basically looked the type, the other two or three had no opinion to offer as to why they were saying guilty. That's in the UK system where ANY reason for you to be anything but impartial rules you out of that jury, and any outside contact is strictly forbidden and still people are so close minded, prejudiced and stubborn. This case elected a jury from a town where it was the hottest news story around and plastered the details of the case all over the news every day, how is that fair?
  10. I very nearly bought an Audi RS2 today, that had been rear ended and written off, that was in New Zealand, that I would probably never have seen until I got back to the UK where I would have been shipping it to. I'm going to kick myself forever for not buying that, there will never be a cheaper one in any kind of fixable state anywhere in the world ever again http://www.trademe.co.nz/browse/listing.aspx?id=1020871108&/listing?rfm=1 Make Richi Cry. How's that for a first world problem
  11. Booked flights to New Zealand via Fiji today, and our ex-housemates from Brisbane are in town for a couple of days
  12. The nephew's case was pretty clear to me that he was a slow kid, pushed into a false confession. You don't cut someones throat in a bedroom, drag the body outside to a garage and leave no trace of blood anywhere. His first lawyer was a complete joke and screwed him. Absolutely gobsmacked they convicted him and refuse all requests for a retrial. Steven's case was not so clear and the show is obviously biased towards his innocence, but regardless of what wasn't included there was enough there to create a reasonable doubt in anyone's mind, unfortunately broadcasting the entire case on national TV makes an impression on all who view it including the jury. In the UK you're not even allowed to discuss anything relating to a case with your closest family, never mind have it sensationalised by the media. Despite the obvious bias in the series, I have very little doubt that they are both innocent. Imagine being sent down TWICE for crimes you didn't commit though, they've literally taken half that guys life and everything he loved away from him, the thought of something like that happening to me scares the shit out of me!
  13. Anyone watched this? What do you make of it? It's a 10 part documentary of what would be my worst nightmare
  14. That would be me, I got bored of JD being a patronising piece of shit in the angry thread so frequently
  15. I'm curious what I'm missing out on in the sock world now, my pound shop sports socks generally last me 2-3 years, I can't see there being too much improvement on that?
  16. Same. Africa or gtfo.
  17. Hey high five, I've recently started telling you to get f**ked too, because you need to be told!
  18. I just bought tickets to go and see Wu-Tang A couple of days ago I booked to paddle and play with platypussesses, wombats and echidnas
  19. That looks like my idea of hell, I f**king hate wiring, I just can't do it!
  20. I don't hold it against her, but my mum tried to (and still does to some degree) do this, thankfully aged 10 I was aware enough to basically tell her to stfu. Tbf my dad was in the wrong in this instance but still not on by any stretch.
  21. You can choose whether you're friends with or follow them, yeah...
  22. Haven't quite got my head around cyclocross, is it literally just mountain biking with drop bars? I'm going to have to start selling bikes for this in a couple of weeks when they arrive and all I can really see is greater potential for broken wrists
  23. Then my hoping it was the gash sunstrip was correct and my "(presumably)" was worth adding Change the hub though, that still stands.
  24. The gash sunstrip I hope and not the wheel? Why in the f**k are you driving round on a shot hub with (presumably) cheapo spacers on still?!
