  2. Approx 23 minutes of nostalga. http://londonist.com/2010/07/video_kings_cross_in_the_1950s.php
  3. Sorry about cut and paste but I am to old to retype such long messages. Bit surprised the OP has been treated with respect as I was sure some would have come on and been sarcastic towards him.
  4. Sorry to be the one but someone would have. CLAIM: The worldwide emergency number for cell phones is 112. Not quite. 112 is the Europe-wide emergency phone number. Throughout most of the European Union and some neighboring countries, dialing 112 will connect callers to local emergency services. The system doesn't include North and South America, Asia, or Africa. According to some sources, many, but not all, cell phone models are pre-programmed to redirect calls made to any of the most common emergency numbers (e.g., 911, 999, 000, 112) to the proper local services regardless of the caller's location. And many, but not all, cell phone models and service providers will allow the most common emergency numbers to be dialed even if the caller is outside his or her regular service area, or the phone lacks a SIM card. However, no mobile phones can put through calls, emergency or otherwise, from locations where no cell service exists at all. Within the U.S., dialing 911 remains the most direct and reliable way of contacting emergency services regardless of what kind of phone you use. Don't dial 112, unless you want to play Russian Roulette with your life. CLAIM: Unlock a car door with your cell phone and a spare remote key. False. As discussed previously in these pages, cell phones and remote keyless entry systems work on entirely different radio frequencies. Therefore, cell phones are incapable of re-transmitting the signal from a remote key to unlock a car door. CLAIM: Press *3370# to access 'reserve battery power.' False. On some Nokia phones, users can punch in special codes and toggle between speech codec modes to 1) enhance voice transmission quality at the cost of diminished battery performance, or 2) enhance battery performance by decreasing voice quality. Apparently, some users have misconstrued the latter as "tapping into reserve battery power." On that score the email is doubly erroneous because *3370# is the code for enhancing voice quality — so using it actually decreases battery life! CLAIM: Press *#06# to disable a stolen cell phone. Not exactly. On some cell phone models, but not all, pressing *#06# will cause the phone's 15-digit International Mobile Equipment Identity to be displayed. Some service providers, but not all, can use that information to deactivate the handset. In any case, it isn't necessary to supply an IMEI number to cancel your cellular account in the event of theft; simply call your provider, give them the appropriate account information, and tell them the phone was stolen. Oh yes and reversing the PIN doesn't work either.
  5. ^^^ Already posted several hours ago here:- http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?40919-What-is-going-on-at-our-beloved-club&p=1515472#post1515472 .
  6. http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/10/hurricane-sandy-after-landfall/100396/ Lots of photos of the aftermath, no comment from me is needed you can see the extreme damage yourself.
  7. I think that the transfer window is a hinderance as it allows players to relax a bit knowing that they cannot be replaced "now". I suspect they could/will start improving during December though ready for January. To be fair perhaps it is a sub conscious problem rather than them thinking it outright because Nigel is too pleasant to them when at times he should be a "Brian Clough" type ?
  8. Have a look at this website, it will cheer you up no end. I would have posted it on the main board but I would then be accused of putting it in the wrong section and get yellow carded again. I won't post it in the muppet section as lots of people throughout the World have similar thoughts and believe them 100%. Having said that though I am not 100% convinced but will admit to 60%. http://www.lifebeyonddeath.net/ .
  9. +1 and more important to me personally - getting old and knowing my years of following Saints are a lot less than they used to be.:(
  10. Quote "and twiddle with the knobs of Britain for the next five years." Not perhaps the best choice of words in a thread like this ??? :lol:
  11. HOW DID I LIVE ALL THESE YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING THIS? THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND I'll bet you never knew this!!! In the original native culture of Thailand (Siam), when males reached the age of 18 they had to participate in the following community ceremony:- They lay themselves stark naked in a large circle, feet facing inward. A beautiful young naked girl kneels over the ankles of each the men. She places a blob of honey and various crushed sweet fruits around his navel to attract flies and insects. (This keeps them off his face during the ceremony) A specially chosen nubile and very beautiful, naked girl then does a sexy and sensuous dance in the center of the circle. As soon as all the men become fully aroused and develop erections, the kneeling girls then reach over the knees, pull the fully erect penises downwards as much as they can, and then on a given signal from the centre dancer release them. The men's penises would then spring back up and go "WHAP!" against their belly buttons. This exercise was a measurement of the strength of their masculinity . . .the man who killed the most flies was elected to the court of the King. scroll down................................ And that folks,....... is why the current capital of Thailand came to be named Bangkok. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. A devout Muslim entered a black cab in London He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because as decreed by his religious teaching, he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel. The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door. The Arab asked him, "What are you doing?" The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so get out and wait for a blasted camel!!?
  12. Well we all know how well England have done over these years don't we ? :lol:
  13. This is where the Mosquito will live soon. http://www.fighterfactory.com/
  14. Ordinary MODS might not be able to read PMs but sure as eggs are eggs ADMIN will be able too. All MODS have to do is get hold of an ADMIN and Bobs your uncle.
  15. Good Luck to you, hope you have enough food and more important - water.
  16. It is suspected that a certain ME/European country bombed Sudan the other day. http://rt.com/news/sudan-yarmouk-factory-satellite-airstrike-405/ One day someone will smack them very hard and then watch how they bleat. Can't make up my mind if they are ME or European as their football team is in the European Champions League for a short time.
  17. You will have to disable the ad-block for this page first. http://www.nyharborwebcam.com/ Wonder how long this camera will last when that hurricane arrives ? Queen Mary 2 has left a few hours ago but I expect she may well be in some rough weather soon.
  18. I am sure that they have gone to great lengths to do so as I suspect they will have been tipped off in advance. The so called UK "Establishment" certainly look after each other extremely well.
  19. Don't know IF it is a problem in UK but appears to be elsewhere now. "That's an issue worth considering even more closely in light of a disturbing report out of America, where despite massive regulatory imposts counterfeit parts present a huge headache. The United States' foremost vehicle safety guardian, the National Highway Transportation Safety Authority, has just released a sobering study i nto what happens when a car fitted with a counterfeit airbag is put through a crash test exercise. The agency's video comparing the function of normal and counterfeit airbags is especially of concern. During testing, the agency discovered fake components that could fail in a spectacular manner, either by not deploying during an accident or by launching hot shrapnel into the driver's face and hands. Currently, the government agency says it is unaware of how large the counterfeit airbag problem could be. What's truly frightening is that the replacement parts may look identical to original equipment pieces, right down to the labeling. So, how do you know if your vehicle has a counterfeit airbag? The American experience is that any car or truck that has been in an accident and had its airbag replaced within the past three years by any shop not part of a dealership is at risk. Additionally, repairers that have purchased airbags online may also have inadvertently installed the faulty hardware, the NHTSA says." http://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/autos/blogs/richard-bosselman/b/-/15238560/fake-airbag-safety-shocker/ .
  20. So Kanu's great great grandchildren might get a few pence in about thirty or forty years time then ?
  21. Yes I know that as I actually live in NZ. However this video was only put on you-tube on the 27th October 2012 so I could hardly post it a month ago could I ?????????
  22. http://www.wimp.com/toolate/ Amazing how far away you think that snow is at the start, then Whammo !!!
  23. You had a PM from Turkish then to say that ?
  24. Also seen are a Vampire and two seat Spitfire. :thumbup:
  25. I read somewhere on one of these main board threads that it is Les Reed who decides who comes in or goes out. I am sure someone said a while ago that LR has the ear of NC so it won't matter a jot what Nigel thinks.
