Bear in mind it's taller than you, though. You may want to bring in back-up.

They're all taller than me though. Is this a roundabout way of you announcing you are going to turn up at my house demanding former-chilli to eat?

Bik order netbook from internet. Bik get netbook. Netbook dead like Michael.

Retailer say Bik pay for return postage. UK law say Nuh-uh.

Do Bik pay now, cause a kerfuffle after lively netbook arrive, or strop immediately?

Well played. But I'd wager Blumenthal has made more money from food than you ever will, hmmm?

I bet he lost a fair whack when he sent everyone home with food poisoning a couple of months back, though.

What price do you think it will go for?
Does it take bullet cams (don't know the proper name)?

It has a standard Sony AV breakout, so with a 50p gender changer, yes it will. In fact that is the exact reason why I almost elected not to sell it, because it's ideal for that kind of work.

But alas in 4 years of being in business despite being close I've never had chance to go and use a bullet cam, so it's pointless. In addition my Z1 (over twice the size) also has exactly the same AV breakout so I'd probably just use that.

Oddly the super duper EX1 (which should be with me tomorrow) can't for some bizarre reason.

One guy has a "buy it now" for 800 quid. I'm hoping for anywhere onwards of £400 + VAT as I'm more realistic.

I have purchased "Season" 1 on The Wire. Hurrah.
However, the back of the box tells me it is Region 4. Boo.
The website tells me it's Region 2+4.

If it's 2/4, it'll be fine. If it's actually just 4, you're stuffed.

Anyone know if 2/4 is normally written as just 4 on the box?

I'd expect it to be written Regions: 2,4 if it were both.

And that number would be '4', right? Does the globe look like it might be a 2 in disguise?

If it has a 2 on it, you can only use it on Earth's twin in another dimension.

2 means it will only work on Venus, and 4 means Mars. You want a 3.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 15:38

Grim..., has it become clear that none of us really know for sure one way or the other?

No, you were misinformed. 2 is for Flatlanders and 4 is for Dr Who. You're right that he needs a 3 though.

Why does deodorant burn when you spray it on your ballsack? It never burns when I deoderise my eyeballs.

As I said on fagbook:
