He still thinks goatees are cool, silly rodent.

Bossman was well looked after by the WWE, it would seem.

I'm betting Live gets better once people's 30 day free trials from Christmas run out and they don't renew em.

Just when you thought being a Newcastle United fan couldn't get any more painful along comes a 6-0 demolition against Man U... that was painful to watch.

I'm going to watch Burn Hollywood, Burn - An Alan Smithee Movie. I'm really tired of this writer's strike messing up the viewing schedule.

I've used Ebuyer for a few years now, but nothing bigger then upgrading a graphics card, or buying some extra ram. I've had my PC for more or less 5/6 years now, in terms of Mobo and Processor, so I think its time I upgraded. I'm mainly looking for a new Mobo/Processor combo, about 2gb of RAM and a huge HD (around 300gb). It won't be used for gaming (I have a 360) so I'm not that bothered about playing the latest amazing games on it. The most gaming that will get done on it will be Football Manager, TEW and perhaps World of Warcraft later down the road. The PC upgrade will basically be there for me to run pro tools of it and record some guitar tracks. I was looking for some help and suggestions as to what would be a good Mobo and Processor to go for, as well as PSU to run it. I was thinking of the following: Processor Gigabyte MOBO PSU Harddrive Which comes to around £200 Thanks for any help, Chris

It's tonight?

Well, I'm going to open myself up to critcism here, but... Here's my messing about with my guitar: http://www.ilike.com/artist/Chris+Kilburn Anyone else on the board play an instrument and want to share some music?

The Dog looks like the only normal one there.

TEW2008 announced as in Development over on Greydog. Hopefully he can balance a few issues regarding 'brands' they seemed rather useless in TEW2007, and often led to problems in real world data.

As an English Gamer, I find that its often the Americans that seem to give alot of abuse over Xboxlive - often as soon as they find out you're British. Even then, there's alot of trash talking Americans v Americans. You guys seriously need to sort out some sort of internet etiquette classes or something. Saying that, there's still really stupid British people on Xboxlive, often, however, they act like Americans with the mannerism and language they choose.

3rd or 4th PPV show, he had a 'boxing' match with Tiny the Timekeeper.

So in other words, the UK turns into the US? Oh god. You'd seriously be surprised how accurate your statement is. Its like the UK Government has looked at the US model and went... THAT'S FOR US!

Sweet, all places I wouldn't mind seeing. Would make the trip from Newcastle, UK worth while, as well as the Rumble obviously.

A few years ago, just as I stopped watching in 2002 I was really worried there wouldn't be much of a WWE to watch if I started again, as I couldn't see any future stars. But they've managed to create some over those 5 years - Batitsa, Cena, Orton, Jeff Hardy's profile really rose as well, so its all good. In a few years time we'll have D H Smith, Colt, Punk, Cody all up there too which will make for an entertaining IC Title scene for a while.

Hopefully, I can save up and get to next year's Rumble - any idea where it is yet?

To think ROH and TNA pretty much started at the same time, and in the 5 years, self hype and shouting till people can't take it anymore not included, it would seem ROH are the most successful out of the two. They make money, they've made a name for themselves across the wrestling world, are probably the most prestiges of the two companies. If ROH had a 'national' TV deal and regular monthly PPVs ala TNA, would ROH be the #2 company in North America? ROH have created their own stars, have forged a name and reputation for themselves, just the company but the titles they hold within the promotion. They've even set up a sister promotion and a wrestling school. TNA are regarded as a second rate washed up WCW/WWF wannabe promotion, they've created very little - if any stars. In truth, do you mark out for AJ and Joe for the work they've done in TNA, or from what you saw and remember them doing in ROH? TNA doesn't seem much more then an over glamorous regional wrestling promotion at times, at the most it looks like 1994 WCW, with it being stuck in the 'iMPACT Zone' every week and almost every PPV. However, this is the only thing that TNA seems to have over ROH at the moment - production values. ROH often annoys me with its unmixed sound, crowds droning over Mics when wrestlers are cutting in ring promos annoy the hell out of me. However, if you were to put ROH on a similar stage as TNA, I'm sure they'd even do that in more professional way. You'd think TNA would feel a little ashamed that ROH have been able to form by themselves, without having to shout and fight with TV companies, without having to leech money from a huge power company to offset the loses. And I'm not even a huge ROH mark - seen about 3 full shows and a handful of matches.

Slightly off topic, but I totally marked out yesterday when Peter Beardsley walked into the store. I couldn't stop grinning, he chatted and shook my hand, was totally awesome. Then moments later David Edgar showed up and no one knew who he was, poor kid.

It'll probably be the same 'blurry' CGI they use on Lost, which I don't mind too much.

Dumb customer of the Day goes to: Picture the scene, its 9am in the morning, we've just opened. Enter a rowdy customer at high pace, carrying a big bag under his arm. "I WANT A REFUND ON MY PS3!" He demands. I look at the guy, he can't be serious. Like we'd have £300 cash in the floats first thing in the morning. Yellow teeth, Nicotine smelling little cock face who wanted to return his PS3. "It doesn't turn on," he claims. "Well, it did once, then it blew up. I want me 300 quid back now, so I can just give it to me kid." "Hmm, odd," I exclaim. "We've never had any PS3's returned for 'blowing up' before, in fact, we've hardly any returned." I continued to explain, unpacking his PS3. "What yee doing, man?" The little infestation of life shouts. "I'm going to test the machine." "Well if it works or not, I'm having a refund, I haven't bought it all the way back here for nothing." "I'll be the judge of that." I say under my breath. "What?" "I can't give you a refund without seeing the fault." "I think you can." "Not really, if I see a fault, I'll replace the PS3 with a new one for you." "No way, I WANT A REFUND!" So I test the PS3 and sure it enough, the power doesn't turn on at all. It would appear the little knobface is telling the truth, however, his smugness is overwhelming - something isn't right. "Well, I'll swap the machine over for a new one for you." "Nah, I want my money back." I start to pack the PS3 back up when I notice... "Hang on, your plug has no fuse in it..." I get a new power cable try it out and his PS3 works fine, customer swears at me, I tell him to leave. End of boring story.

When it says expired, it means your standard one year warranty has expired - which would cover stuff like cables breaking, CD tray not working. The 3 year warranty for the 3red lights isn't shown on the warranty screen unless you submit it for a repair, a bit cheeky, but hey.

Cheers for the rundown Toxie, think I'll check this out after all.

You'd be top of the league if you played us every week - damn.

I'm in for GH3/Madden/Halo3 sometime next week, give me plenty of notice though so I can work out what time I need to be awake or whatever.
