Could be a case of the old 'if it sounds too good to be true'

 

Yeah people don't sell gpus for those prices on ebay, there's no reason for them to do that.
So either hacked account, general scam etc.

 

Laughing at people at work all going on about the football labelling the England Team as heroes and doing every English football fan proud, and the responses to my comment about them, football players should never be classed as heroes all they do is kick a ball around a pitch and dive on the floor from a small breeze of wind, real heroes are the likes of Police, Paramedics, Nurses, Army etc etc not some over paid pre-madonnas.

Will paste it below, but they all think I am mad and need to move to another country or support another team instead because "I am clearly not English" so funny and I don't know anything about football LOL.

"Love all the comments of "they did us proud" over the news and social media really?

They lacked any form of attack they preferred to go all the way back to the goal keeper at every chance they got.

They scored a goal and then sat back and tried to defend inviting them in and they did it in every game.

I'm sorry but they are a joke none of them apart from Pickford deserve to wear the shirt.

They got lucky to get to where they did, but they didn't face any real threats until Belgium and Croatia and they lost both games because they are just not good enough.

Far as I am concerned the England team should be made up of players not from the Premier League but the lower leagues, at least they will put in effort and will be proud to where the shirt and not just be looking for the next move to a new club for more money.

Maybe one day the England team will be good enough to actually perform at the World Cup and Euro's but this team like most before them are just not good enough and won't be good enough."

 

Thanks to the awesomeness of forum members, my PC is alive again after I released the magic smoke! (TL;DR: Fried something on my board when connecting an mSATA device; replacements are stupidly expensive; bought replacement from a forum member who paid the same price I originally did and never got around to putting it to use.)

 

TEH CUTE!! IT IS TOO MUCH!!!

 

Generosity of forum members

Oh and another England match this afternoon.

 

I just powered up my AMIGA 1200 for the first time since '95? Had to buy a new powerbrick but absolutely worth it to hear that sound again.

 

It's a sunny Saturday, I have nothing to do except drink beer and sand stuff.

And make horrific smells with fibreglass resin.

 

I keep meaning to dig mine out and see if it still lives (and if any of the floppies still read ok).

Where did you get your replacement power brick from, as a may of interest?

 

Quick eBay search threw up a handful ranging from £15 to around £29.99, figured it would be worth picking up now considering I have a small rooms worth of the floppies in the old key lock drawers (sorted with dividers too!) and I know someone has the original box!

 

I got my Atari STe back online early last year. It's been gathering dust for a little while because I really need a CRT TV to run it on, an LCD just isn't the same and compatible monitors cost a fortune these days. All my floppy disks got lost somewhere amongst our many house moves (though I'm hopeful that I may yet find a hidden stash in my mother's loft somewhere) so I ended up replacing the floppy drive with a hardware emulator that lets me use USB sticks.

Got my eye on a 28" B&O BeoVision MX6000 CRT TV that's been listed on ebay a while; the listing ends tonight, there hasn't been an opening bid after at least 2 weeks, and there's no reserve - I'm hopeful that people are put off by the fact that it's collection only...

 

And now you've told us all about it, D'oh!

 

You wanna drive near to Cardiff to pick it up?
