"angelina jolie imo isnt as nice as everyone says she is"
No she isn't, she's nicer i.e. underrated
and talented and intelligent and gets her kit off when the role demands it, what more you could you ask for in a babe?
 
Kate Moss is stunning. Dunno what she's doing with that ******* length Pete Doherty.

Her and Jolie are both at the top of my list.

Football is definitely over rated.

Got to agree there...
He's a joy to watch.
If only he'd drop the falling over and theatricals, people would take to him better.

I was at a footbal match last weekend, and at half time I was queueing up for my Pukka Pie and everyone's like "Bovril please", my mate says "you gotta have a hot Bovril with that pie, it's the only way."

So I did, the fool that I am. :puke:

Because Sony are stopping making them next year and concentrating on LCD.

Chances are everyone else will follow suit.

Unfortunately all the people who splashed out a grand plus on plasmas have wasted their money.

Just like me who spent 1300 on a CRT a few years ago realizing it is now worth about 250 quid!:faint:

Because the picture quality isn't as good as a decent CRT...
Or LCD...

And they have become the symbol of the chav done good family.

I've got a Samsung LCD but to me it's just a big telly. Never realised there was a difference between it and a plaz. Plus i thought it looked nice.....

Mind you, i'm not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to gadgetry!:(

The only plasma I've seen that I could actually live with, was a Poineer 42" (I think that was the size) that had been calibrated and set up by a traditional hi-fi / AV specialist near me...and it was stunning.
But it was £6k or something equally silly.

The new Sony LCDs are stunning...

Well you are ok then. Samsung are regarded as one of the best LCD manufacturers, so much so lots of other companies use their screens. Not only that but around 80% of home electricals will have a Samsung chip in.
 
Went to a shop just outside vegas last december and they had some that i think were 72" or something stoopid and they were only about $4000!
 
A Mate of mine bought a Philips one a few years back it was about £1600 and a 42 incher. I remember one day he said 'come round and watch the footy' I was sat so the right of it and the picture was crap, also because it was live the picture was 'stuttering' because the refresh rate was so poor. One second you would have a corner then it would jump to a goal kick. Me of course being kind said 'this is great this isn't it'. What a lie that was.

The best thing after taking said pictures is to make amusing powerpoint slide shows then email them to everyone.

Quality.
 
smitch said:

But this is what I was referring to Smitch :rock:

unfortunatly I'm far too busy at work to be faffin about with emails and internet etc :rolleyes: :whistle2:
 
Hmmmm, me too.

Unsurprisingly the caravan industry isn't exactly booming this time of year so this sort of nonsense is the only thing that keeps me sane. :keule:
 
"unfortunatly I'm far too busy at work to be faffin about with emails and internet etc "
Obviously.
