    As he's not up against a championship level defence who couldn't give a shíte and wanted to be on a beach when he plays in the premier league.

    On the topic of Bombidol... found this

    http://www.thebombshelter.2ya.com/

    think it was his prior to him getting the PW forum going. Jaysus seing him go makes me feel old though to think I was on boards a year before the lad

    and yeah said something about him elsewhere and in the BWE but Walt is a loss and not only for his great WECWF write ups in the draft, top poster and a shame he closed his account.

    Woah, blast from the past! I'll check that out on Netscape Navigator :) Very cool. By the way - Oh my God it's "Bomb-idol" not "Bombi-dol" as I've been pronouncing in my head since being on boards :o His username always reminded me of Killer Instinct's Eyedol

    I'll hand in my moderator sash and badge

    tbh I always thought of it a bombi-dol as well and cos of him I always thought of the character from LOTR (the books don't think he was in the movies) as Bombidol and not Bombadil, but if you look back at his original posts he used to sign off with the word bomb so def Bomb-idol

    probably depends on who you speak to atm considering how he left boards (wont go into it... mentioned it a bit on the podcast...) but he was responsible iirc for setting up the PW forum so we like the chap here, hence he was a mod here for the past few years even though he had stopped posting here. As of yesterday or the day before though his name is gone from the bottom of the forum and we are left with the 3 mods many probably thought were the only mods anyway.

    Sorry for hijacking about my laptop needs. But any PW techies think this would be a decent laptop for college work/downloading music etc

    Well it is an Off Topic thread, so not sure why you're worried about hijacking :pac:

    It's decent enough for college work/downloading - even though i personally have no clue about laptops

    For college work & downloading it'll do the trick alright. It has a lot of positive reviews as well.

    So here it is: Acer Aspire E1-572 (€614)
    15.6" 768p, 1.8GHz i7 processor, 8GB memory, 1000GB HDD, DVD Drive, Integrated Graphics (?), Win 8 operating.
    Had a look around other laptops for comparison.

    Had a look around on HWVS for comparison. Shipping from Germany is 30 quid flat rate. It's where I got my PC from.

    HWVS has a Acer Aspire E1-772G-54208G50Mnsk (€550)
    17.3" 900p, 3.1GHz i5 processor, 8GB memory, 500GB HDD, DVD Drive, GeForce GT820M 2GB Graphics card. LINUX operating.
    If you have a copy of windows I'd recommend getting this and installing Win when you get it. Only downfall is the 500GB HDD. With a laptop I'd recommend a 2TB external (depending on what your needs are!)
    http://www.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?adp=0&aid=142186&agid=729&apop=0

    MSI CR70-i545W7 (€600)
    17.3" 900p, 3.2GHz i5 processor, 4GB memory, 500GB HDD, DVD Drive, Intel Graphics 4600 Graphics Card. Win7 operating.
    http://www.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?adp=0&aid=167332&agid=729&apop=0

    In any case the one you chose will do fine for what you described. If you wanted more advice on best value I'd throw up a thread on the laptop forum

    there is nothing that makes me cringe more than people on this site referring to "AH" as if it is some sort of lawless, anything goes, last frontier of the internet. In reality, its just people attempting to reduce any imaginable topic to a humorless quip about the banks or the government.

    Earlier, West London Coroner's Court said a post-mortem examination into Mayall's death had been inconclusive and more tests were being carried out in an attempt to determine how the star died.

    I don't think United were interested in Fabregas? Were they? have faith man, Van Gaal knows what he's doing (But if Woodward screws up this summer, then he has to follow Moyes out the door)

    Apparently so but I still find it hard to believe we looked at him and didn't go for him, especially when looking our options at the moment.

    But hey, at least its the start of the World Cup :D

    True..... So much for De Gea trying to persuade Fabregas to sign for United :pac: (Similar to the Thiago fiasco was it last summer), aye a month of cracking football ahead.

    I'd say this is what happened, but the PR department (sensing it was coming) got out in front of it and spread the "We aren't interested" stories, making it look like we turned him down. Like the guy knowing he's about to get dumped so dumps her first :P
