    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    I'm afraid i can't take credit for the pics, they're taken from Yobokies (seikoboy) website…still a great looking watch though    I've been looking for a genuine Seiko Spork which is sort of like my watch above but with a better movement, slightly different styling and a step up in quality but...

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    Last year i decided that pulling my phone out of my pocket to tell the time was annoying so i decided to buy myself a nice watch, unfortunately the Rolex Submariner i desired was way out of my price range so i settled on a yobokies modded seiko exactly as below, I'm pleased with it as it only...

    Bicycle-Fi!

    Cheers Bluenote1553, once your muscles get used to it an SS is alright for the hills as long as they are short n' sweet and you can power up them before your lungs try and climb out of your chest - but i admit now that i've crept out of my 30's (gulp!) a few gears on a bike makes sense.   I...

    Is accessoryjack.com a legit site?

    I ordered the Audio-Tecnica ATH-IM70 from accessoryjack a few hours ago, then i noticed this thread and baulked at opening it for a second as i thought to myself 'crap….what if they are a scam site?" but thankfully that's not the case.

    Congratulations.........but put aside any notion of how hard you worked at school, the final years of your degree will have you banging your head against an imaginary brick wall that you carry in front of you at all times. Or you may be one of the gifted few who sail through every exam...

    How many car engine parts can you name?

    My digital camera is a boon when it comes to dismantling modern multivalve engines/mechanical components, a quick pic with added voice over or a video using the additional head cam makes sure i'm not left with "widget #h34hl-1" sitting on the workbench as i try to figure out if it's really...

    The Ultimate Beer

    There is only one beer, i give you Tullibardine whisky Ale.... Drink three of these and try to stand up, then shout for help as you lie sprawled and incapacitated on the floor. A very nice smooth drink with more than enough whisky in the mix to make you pull a whisky face (dennis leary...

    Computer error message from aftermarket power cord? Coincidence?

    I recommend a "Lithium" or "Nitrazapam" prescription for your own internal PC patrick, it sounds like your logic board has shorted out.

    Mp3 with voice recording

    My iriver H340 40gb player has a built in mic that's pretty sensitive and you can adjust recording levels/bit rate etc, add in the external mic (supplied) and it's great for recording at a very decent sound quality. It also has the ability to slow down/speed up +/- 20 on playback which can be...

    Weird phenomenon: yawning increases music tempo!

    I enjoy a good yawn whilst listening to my ety's, it seems to direct the sound directly onto my eardrums and gives an amazing spatial sound inside my head.

    A while back i found a set of Sennheiser Hd 480 Classics at the back of the cupboard, i thought i had given them to my brother years ago so i decided to try them out.
