Nope. Nobody.

Is that it? I thought you were meant to be the OT forum troll?, and that’s all you can come up with? It’s not even worthy of a decent retort.

Haseo at least came up with his own inferred and deliberate misinterpretation of what I was saying (whilst ignoring the other main points - as he has so far demonstrated he can’t seemingly think before hitting the keyboard and shifting from ‘I hope she’s dead’ onto ‘bending laws of reality’ - and would like to steer the conversation further away from his original post) - but your reply, just meh…

You said I was backtracked… now provide the sentence prior to you saying that (or even after for shits and giggles) of me somehow pivoting on any of my points. If you can’t substantiate your claims then we have nothing else to discuss.

And I ignored the sentimental stuff for a reason.

Your posts are there for all to see - and you continue your backtracking and excuses/‘reasoning’ since.

If you can’t see it then that’s on you - try thinking more (or re-reading your previous posts - and edits) before posting.

Though your efforts to continue to deflect are wasted on me - as I won’t be wasting any more time on your posts. But you carry on - deflecting and backtracking away…

Theresa May visited the site of the burned out Grenfell Towers–where 17 fatalities have been confirmed and scores more are feared dead–for a photo-op with firefighters.

She declined to meet any of the victims or survivors.

Scum of the earth. Sorry to our British friends who have to live with her.

Lord Haseo - ‘I hope she’s dead’

later followed by ‘No one like that adds anything to society nor the relationships they have cultivated. I don’t think it’s harsh at all when you think about it in that way.’

Seems you don’t think much at all, certainly not before posting that hate-filled line of yours, and not during your backtracking and excuses/‘reasoning’ since.

Hello everyone. I am not new to this site, but I am to this thread. I like all of the work I see posted here. I am always looking for great Saga series posters. I have all of the SW films streaming on PLEX and I looking to have a similar style for all 8 films. Does anyone know if someone has made a series of posters for all of the Star Wars films? The only ones I can find involve covers that focus on shadows or locations.

This thread may be of interest to you mate:-

and also the ‘HD Box size covers’ thread, here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Blu-Ray-and-other-HD-box-size-STAR-WARS-covers/id/11843

and there maybe some art of interest in the ‘Awesome SW Art’ thread, here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Awesome-Star-Wars-art-pic-heavy/id/47273
 

Good luck - hope you find what you are looking for…

and if you do find some other quality plex/media centre style covers please post up a link to them - thanks 😃

Sad to have to say this again, but I hope all our UK members are safe and sound.

Hard to believe such a thing could happen in a building in a modern city.

Horrific, mate.

Fair play to all those offering spare rooms, clothes, food and toiletries in and around the nearby area to the Grenfell Block residents.

And to the emergency services too.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/grenfell-tower-fire

According to fleeing residents there was no building-wide alarm heard, no sprinklers, and a ‘stay put’ fire advice strategy in place.

Seems to be a lot of people missing/unaccounted for - unfortunately as the fire started just after 1am, many may have been asleep - I really hope not, though. Hopefully many escaped and are ‘just’ in shock or with friends/family etc.

Well, I have to keep the lid open. It is kinda difficult to operate the keyboard with the lid shut.

On some laptops you can remove the screen from the rest of the laptop (you’ll have to take care removing the hinges and wiring from the screen) - in essence just having a ‘chunky keyboard’ with hdmi or vga cable from it going to the external monitor.

Looks a little weird - but certainly nothing wrong with it 😃

from what you describe Warmbler mate, one69chev is correct - you’ll need a new screen (or continue to use the laptop hooked up to an external monitor).

I’ve no idea on US prices - but if you were here in the UK a new laptop screen (standard 15.4") would cost around £35-50 on ebay, and if you don’t want to fit it yourself^, expect to pay about £30-45 for labour to fit it by a computer engineer/repairman.

^ = it can be very fiddly to do - and you don’t want break the screen bezel (they are VERY flimsy) or snag any cables etc - and some laptops require the keyboard to be removed to get at the wiring to the laptop screen too.

There are usually 2 differing types of screen - both have different connections - so anyone needing to order a new screen will likely want to have a look at the laptop first to make sure they order the correct type.

It may be worth typing in your model of laptop into youtube to see how others have replaced their screens etc too.

Good luck with it mate

RIP Adam West.

Windows Phone is incredible. Best phone I’ve ever owned. I help my dad with his Android phone every now and then and it’s such a frustrating locked down piece of garbage OS.

They’re pushing some new updates for Windows (10 and 10 Mobile) lately that have all been pretty great in my opinion.

Yeah, just don’t install that recently released build 16212 update from MS…

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/02/microsoft_dev_build_snafu_bricks_your_phone/

(as ever with The Reg articles - the comments section is always worth a read 😃)

and that’s not to say that Windows phones aren’t decent - the more choices we as consumers have, the better 😃

A question for you Ukers:

What would have happened if the Conservatives had won a majority of the seats of Parliament, but Theresa May lost her own seat?

The Tories would then hold a leadership election - their MP’s vote for the leader of their party (IIRC). Usually the PM is in one of the safest seats in the country - can’t recall a PM ever losing their own seat - but could happen…

I don’t understand, why would the Tories hold a leadership election? I said in my question that the Conservatives won a majority number of seats. So, wouldn’t be the Conservatives holding a leadership election?

Sorry Warbler mate - I should have made it clear that Conservatives and Tories are one and the same thing (as ywhx correctly pointed out).

I will pass on your earlier apology to Lord Buckethead - though I think he’ll likely say he’ll forgive you if you go watch his oscar-worthy Gremloids/Hyperspace film from 1984 😉
