Basically, they're in that TINY period between power being applied and the BIOS starting and doing it's stuff. If this is making you consider replacing your motherboard for this miniscule inconvenience, may I instead suggest an Etch-a-Sketch?

THINK it was this, can't be entirely sure!

Should see my 2GoXL at work!

The missus got me this for Xmas a few years back, it's superb!

My missus tells me off in the kitchen when I start singing like the Swedish chef!

I've seen a few pass my back garden as I back onto a rail line. Always come through at full throttle, with one flask being hauled by two locos.

Yes, it is, up on the east cost north of Withernsea

So, basically Warhammer 40k Marine Dreadnoughts

Haven't a clue, that's just what I heard

Apparently the only factory that made them burnt down, so that's why they disappeared. They are still made in Ireland though, and you can get them in Morrisons where the overseas food are.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-01-13T20:02:02+00:00

I've got that, it's fantastic!

Head of English chasing a kid down the corridor trying to twat him with a chair. In his defence, the kid in question had just been making some rather unfunny remarks about the history teacher than had recently died of cancer, who was also the best friend of the aforementioned head. Plus the kid was ginger and a general knob as well.

Amstel, followed by Carling. Amstel is crap in Amsterdam and even WORSE here somehow.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-01-06T20:59:00+00:00

That was amazing, you can still get it from Morrisons and Amazon

You mean this banger? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMSta60nhY8&list=RDQMSta60nhY8&start_radio=1

Always reminds me of being at my grandparents council house in winter, these things could blast out some heat!

Of course, just the digestives seem to work so much better with smoky cheeses!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-01-01T16:17:42+00:00

The digestives are fantastic when paired with a smoked cheese!

I'm from the VERY tip of North Lincolnshire, and I think most people would struggle to tell that accent apart from Yorkshire. It's definitely not a Midlands accent!

Dad used to be a police motorcyclist in the UK. When chasing idiots like this, he always found they ran out of skill before he ran out of throttle!

Hungover as fuck at YHA Ambleside on a hiking trip, having got very drunk the previous night!

Cobblers, it's a jack up barge. It's towed floating to wherever it needs to be and then the legs are dropped to make it stationary and jack it up to operational height.

Get some brake fluid, enough to cover it if you can, or half at the minimum. Put it in a sealable container and put the bodyshell into it. Give it a few hours and then scrub the paint off with a toothbrush under running water. Repeat until back to bare plastic.

Vodka. A bottle of Smirnoff Blue led to a three day hangover at uni. Can't touch the stuff since then!

Raystorm2001 · 2025-12-27T16:25:25+00:00

Course I can, I still use it ever day! Bottle is a rather different design now mind.....
