Apparently, intelligent Internet usage also not a UK export.

E...

I used the internet quite well actually having managed to post on a forum (as well as creating an account). I even quoted your post. I think what you mean is that my post wasn't intelligent but then your export is clearly stupidity. You do realise that you don't have to sign every post you make? This is the internet not a letter.

Anyway the main point is don't have an uncalled for dig at another country!

This is the hotties thread not the racism thread

You do realize UK is not a "race" right?

I never said it was.

Actually, that might be the only useful UK export.

Anyone else get annoyed when they see ebay auctions from the seller "corndogcollectibles?" I know anyone can charge whatever they want and more power to them, but to have to scroll past 100 listings of $400 Jar Jar Binks' and $200 K-3POs is getting old. Funny that when a Kubrick comes out that actually fetches $400, aka AT-ST driver, he charges $800.

If you do an advanced search you can select which ebay sellers you don't want to include. I haven't been subjected to corndogcollectables greed and stupidity for quite a while now. I also include key words relating to Stanley Kubrick films for it to ignore and then save the search. I do an unfiltered search once a week or so but the search setting I have don't seem to miss out anything important.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Do you still pay for cable/satellite TV or home phone?

« on: May 30, 2011, 04:25 PM »

I have a land line but only due to ADSL being the only option where I live. I could get satellite for TV but there isn't anything worth watching that justifies the money. Everything filters down to the free to air channels eventually or I download/stream them at my leisure. As for a mobile I bought a cheap pay as you go for £5 and only use it for text messaging. I'm 32 so I'm not sure where I fit in with this trend but it looks like I'm down with the kids on this one.

Also everything is made in China so other than a bit of admin I doubt the earthquake has interrupted Medicom much. So I suspect that their normal release schedule which can be a month either side of the announced date will remain the same.

He really doesnt need to be mentioned in here with people that were loved and respected

Agreed.

I assume the original post was moved into the Sarlac Pit (which I don't seem to have access to even though I used to do) so any chance the rest of these relevant posts could be moved too?

Thanks for the picture

I like your use of accessories!

I included the AT-AT driver in my display but I may have to add vader and some more snowtroopers.

Assuming you got the cardboard display and you're using it, how have you got your kubs displayed on it? Also do you display any hoth related none dx kubs on it? Pictures would be nice

I had no problem with the dx1 set as it's smaller and jabba takes up a lot of space and I have lots of none dx kubs for it but the hoth one seems a bit sparse and they seem to be just standing there more so than the dx1 kubs seem to be lol
