    My dad bought a 42 inch LG Smart TV. Honestly, it's not too smart at all and it's slow at loading things. It has a lot of trouble loading up HD Youtube videos. Plus the remote control reminds me of a Wii remote. It sucks.

    That's what he gets when he buys things on impulse...

    I would seriously not recommend the LG.

    The Sony access to Youtube and some other sites is a little complicated also. It asks you to go to a website and register but as usual the instructions given to register to not resemble the interface presented. TV is still good though.

    You've bought the BMW and the Datsun?

    I'm a little bit envious now...

    Thats the same process that you register the Youtube app on PS3. Works ok on that application...

    I think the problem with the Smart TV and the like is that they don't seem to be equipped with the same processing power to run those app as your phones or tablet does...

    Time to retire the old bike and get back out and try to trim my fat arse down. Fathers day present.

    That's nice! I'm in process of building a new MTB with carbon frame. Starting to ride again and it feels great.

    Although second-hand, I'ts my latest purchase.

    Duell Performance (steel) 2009
    Shimano Dura-Ace 2x9

    6 years ago I had a similar steel frame bike (Duell), which I replaced for a brand new aluminium/carbon frame. It never felt as good and solid as my steel bike.
    It probably had to do with the fact that the new bike wasn't top of the line.

    This one is, although a few years old. It feels like 10 times better.
    hence...this also explains my Nickname.

    Ooh nice stuff! I've always wanted a quality steel frame but that's usually reserved for the touring/trekking market. Judging from the frame you're well north of 1.8m, right? Damn tall Europeans.

    Still waiting for my mountain bike to return from the police impound. Some uncouth individual stole it only for the police in the town over recover it a few days later. Rider is in police custody but they're still hanging onto it for evidence. It's been well over two weeks now so I've been having to call the police every couple of days! Should all be over soon.

    Bought some Honda parts in the meantime. A new dipstick to replace the old broken one - happened before my ownership, I swear - and a new exhaust tip to replace the one I crumpled when I backed it my car into a low brick wall. Thank God it's relatively inexpensive.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Around 1,85 -1,90 I think, the frame is a size 60cm.

    Count yourself lucky that they found it back.

    It's a small bike maker, steel is his trademark.

    lol. I didn't know Scott was until I went to the bike shop to get my old one "serviced" and he showed it to me. I know nothing but this new one is 100x nicer than the old hack. Just need to keep the "old hack" on it and putting in some ks.

    One of these to hopefully deter those criminally inclined from riding off with my mountain bike.

    The key goes in the wrong place and, compared to the Supra, it feels like a turbocharged schoolbus...
