Yeah, i've just been reading about it on the Top Gear website, so you saved me the trouble of posting a link

Wot an insane car 0-60 in under 2.5 secs 0-100 in less than 6 !!

The guys at Ariel are hoping to sort out a drag race with a Veyron (according to TG)

Just a little bump to tell you the bets page has been updated with 3 more questions.

And we've now got 33 teams, though i'm sure we can get a few more before the season starts on the 14th.

Yeah you where right Superslider, go for it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/

@Pine-fin, i realise you created this thread, but don't you think it's gonna be a real pain in the arse to get a screen grab from a DVD you don't own, when there are millions of film pics to be found in Google ?

After all the game is 'guess the movie', not 'who can show the prettiest screen grab'.

Lol

Ok, you'll definitely know this film, so i've tried to find a pic that's not so obvious.

But, if you know it, you'll know it

This thread has gotten off-topic.

I'm pleased you said that, coz, i wanna say, i've seen this thread everyday since it was started, and i can't read the bloody title without getting that chuffin Kylie Minogue song ringing in me head.........and quite frankly it's starting to piss me off :grumpy:

For the sake of my sanity, would it be out of the question to ask for closure.

How To Behave On An Internet Forum

Necessary viewing for some.

Sounds like a very cheap copy of the Zero Punctuation guy.

The link James posted is much better, should be posted in every sticky in every forum in every internetwebwideworldsite thingy on the err internet-web thing, and maybe on cornflake packets and milk cartons too.

Quote from JeffR :

Ok, since Mazz4200 properly picked out "Three days of the condor" from my last post, he should get to pick the next movie.

No No Jeff, you got DW's tough one By rights you deserve to choose the next one. (anyway, i'll only pick something stupidly easy or ridiculously hard)

Quote from JeffR :

Note "Three days of the Condor" is a movie I'd definately recommend for anyone, it's that good.
If you decide to find it a video rental store, it will be most likely listed as "3 days of the Condor"
instead of "three", so look for "3" and not "T'.

And i'll second that too. Probably one of the best films he ever made, classic 70's thriller.

And i'll also add, while you're in the video store pick up a copy of "Day of the Jackel" and the "Fourth Protocol" or better still, go buy the books

Nah, think you've got me on this one, the clues don't help much either, and if it's a cowboy movie i ain't got a chance of getting it.

Final guess, i'll say "Shane", but it's been about 25yrs since i've seen it so that's a complete shot in the dark

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Unless it was the royals' press office that arranged the leak: Harry goes there only for a short time; appears to be doing it away from the spotlight; focus on media leak instead of royals; etc. /tinfoilhat

:rolleyes: Sheesh bloody Finns !

What the hell would you know about OUR Royal Family and this fine nation we once called Great. It's not like you liv....oh ermm..

Hey dude i think you been here too long, seems like you've picked up some bad habits and become a stereotypical cynical old Brit (spelled with a 'g' btw)

Quote from STROBE :

see FlashEarth for the circuit. It's cool that google's satellite image was taken on race day - there's cars going round the track!

Here's a daft little thing to have a look at if you've got MS Virtual Earth.

You have to follow these instructions to the letter otherwise this won't work:-
Pull up Virtual Earth and go find Brands Hatch.
Then when you're over the circuit put it into Hybrid Mode.
If you know the circuit, find the pit straight, and pan north and you should see a big field with marks on it like it's been used for a dirt bike track.
There's one such track that stands out the most (near some buildings) Zoom into that.
Then go into Birds Eye Mode.
Pan down till you see the track. When you see the cars lined up on the starting grid, zoom into them, but don't pan too far down.
Now follow the full GP circuit, but try to keep only one section of the road in view at a time (in places it doubles back on itself, so try to keep to the route of the circuit without seeing other sections)
Be careful at the far end (over by "DIngle Dell") sometimes it trips you back into road mode. (if it does trip out just nudge it north a tad till you can go into birds eye view again)
Then when you return to the pit straight...
Go past the start finish line again....

It's nowt amazing so don't complain, it's just one of the daft little quirky things that amuses me.....

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

he really wants to be left out to fight. Fair do's on him actually going though,

Yeah totally agree with that, he actually seems like quite a decent bloke, for a royal. And the fact he was out their covertly shows he wasn't just doing it for the 'royal publicity campaign'.

Unfortunately now it's been leaked i think they'll have to bring him back, otherwise he'll just endanger those around him even more than before.

Quote from swisscosmo :

Ya but when i get the MacBook Pro i'll be getting Vista so i'll be able to play games for the PC and Mac! and i won't be getting the Mac or Vista for maybe 2 years so Vista will be cheap by then and there will be more games for Vista too.

Ahhh, ok..in that case, if i were you i'd try and pick up a cheap but good graphics card while you're waiting for the Mac.

You'll see a huge difference in frame rates and you'll have more games to chose from too. Even my old Nvidia FX5500 played Ghost Recon and Operation Flashpoint without and problems, and you should be able to buy one for next to nothing these days.

Quote from swisscosmo :

Ok thx but what does GFX mean?

Quote from Mazz4200 :

graphics card.

You'll not be playing many games on a Mac though, they're not designed for gamers (unless you only wanna play Xplane)

If you're after a good gaming rig don't rush into anything. Maybe put a post in the hardware section and ask for advice. There's some real genuine computer geeks erm i mean nerds, no sorry i mean computer experts in these forums.

But in the meantime, go checkout Ghost Recon and Operation Flashpoint, they really are two of the best FPSers ever made

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

It's a bit earlier.

Earlier ! Wow, erm,, I do recognise the scene from somewhere, but the only B&W film i could fit it into was the one mentioned above.

If it's earlier are we talking about Brando, Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper perhaps ?

Yikes !! I'd definitely recommend an upgrade to be honest

Im not familiar with the GFX, so i'm guessing it's an onboard. If so, that's really gonna limit your choices. I think you're gonna have problems running anything from the last 3 or 4yrs

I'd highly recommend Operation Flashpoint and Ghost Recon (the original) if you like open roaming shooters. Or if you prefer linear/follow the carrot type games, have a look at Call of Duty 1 and the early Medal of Honour games. (although COD is heaps better than MoH)

Other than that, there are plenty of other arcade type shooters, but they're not really my thing, so can't really give many recommendations.

But seriously, think about getting a proper graphics card, it'll be just like getting a new PC.

That's a toughy, but a pure guess, "Bad Day at Black Rock" Spencer Tracy ?

:ices_rofl Man'O live, that's one of the funniest things i've seen all week

Just imagine the owners face as they walked through the door....classic.

Would love to see the insurance claim for that one.

That means Admittence DOES NOT EQUAL Apology. It's a bit geeky around here, so bear with us.

So who's going to apologise for letting you in here ?

Totally

It's in my top ten for sure. Especially the black and white version, for some reason the colour version doesn't have the same impact.

Anyway, it's your turn bud

Yeah, i knew it was too easy...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082096/

Ok, this one's so easy you're not getting any clues, and no cheating either :nol2:

@ JeffR, oh i see, i thought the pics were linked, and the Redford pic was some sort of clue...oh well

@Oxo "Kind Hearts and Coronets"

Alec Guinness played all the main characters of the family himself.

Hmmm, i'm sure that pic of Redford is from "Three days of the Condor". But, i've no idea who the little girl is or how she ties in with the film ?

Ermmm...Not sure if that rings true..

Hawaii is 10 hrs behind GMT, so if we look at the times of the various posts of these three guys, then this school seems to be open from 6.30 am till 10pm.

I'm open for correction, but, something here doesn't add up
