That's the way it usually is. Must be the economy. Customer service is at an all time high trying to keep the business they get.

That's good, but I've just got a delivery of the Squash Racket that I bought. The problem is I bought it one month ago, 10th of october!!! yesterday, 12th November it was delivered by post. i have been fighting with the shop since then LOL (or i should curse instead? )

[rockingmtranch]

Maybe my luck just happened due to a recent order I made elsewhere. On July 8th, I ordered replacement burners for my grill (Brinkmann) from Brinkmann.net for $61 including shipping. A month went by, I wrote and they told me they hadn't received them yet but would ship them to me as soon as they did (middle man?). I waited another month and again, had to write them, not them writing me, to find out where they were. Was told again they hadn't gotten them. This is now Septemeber. I said I wanted my money back and just last week, got it. Damn. Did I pick the wrong BBQ or what? But now I get an overnight shipment to balance the karma LOL.

LOL it's funny, rockingmtranch (but I bet it didn't feel funny to you at that time.) It's sort of Black Comedy, as they say. It seems you and clavell101 hit the "delivery jackpot" on the wrong side.
At least you've got a overnight delivery to reduce the avarage maybe.
Karma, ha? It reminded me: Do you watch My Name's Earl, by any chance?

Do you watch My Name's Earl, by any chance?

That was funny, so she has inspired a song at the end, ha? It's a very funny series, unpretentious and simple yet hilarious, "real" looking characters.

I hear you But you seem to have got worse deal than me. i only bought squash racket. BBQ unit is much more expensive thing (and rinkmann? should be even more expensive)
Now I need to wait for my time for the karma, maybe the next shopping will come the same day lol

[rockingmtranch]

LMAO...no I've never watched Earl but will now have a look after watching that clip

[EggChen]

The part where Joy gets tazered still makes me laugh every time, if I remember rightly that was one from the 1st season.

[EggChen]

For those who dont know, ODB was a member of the wu tang clan who also did solo albums, he died back in 2004 just before one of his major record labels was about to surface, he is a ledgend and didnt care what he said about things or where or when, he said whats on his mind, his music was raw and from the heart with deep meaning, all the above links are interviews and so forth, its one long thing split into 4 parts.

I notice people are like who the hell is ODB, well i want to show some of you because it makes me really sad to see a icon in the rap industry die away and not be 100% remembered.

Everyone who knows me well, knows im the biggest fan of Wu Tang and its members, i have the most deepest respect for ODB, he was one of the most down to earth people. (Many could claim otherwise)

Please take time to look at this guys, he also loved music like beatles etc and it was part of his own influence in music.

Shut yer hole about wu tang already or I'll have to stuff it with nightwish

Shut yer hole about wu tang already or I'll have to stuff it with nightwish

Now your talking, what did you have in mind

[jamie1992]

wtf is nightwish? im guessing thats a sleeping drug then. :P

Also no i wont shut up, this man was a huge influence in rap and im paying my tributes to him and you should to, if i have feelings for people who provide music and so forth to the masses and for everything they contributed then i will regardless if people dont like it, so like i said no i wont shut up be respectful towards how someone feels about someone who was there for so long in there life as one of the only few people who spoke the truth for them to all of a sudden die, him along with Wu Tang are the only real rappers in the world anymore period, anyway who begs to differ knows fuck all about Hip Hop Lifestyle and the Rap Sub culture.

[DARK TEMPLAR]

Under what rock have you been living that you don't know about nightwish, so far the best Finnish metal band

That nemo one ive heard before, didnt know the name though, metal is not my kinda thing at all.

Rap for me still is king, Wu Tang and its members are the most wide varityed group ever imo, let me show some examples.

Love Song with deep meaning:

Very Wide vocab with meanings hidden in words (Listen really hard):

etc etc

Theres a HUGE list of varietys of which Wu Tang and the members can and do specilize in.

[DARK TEMPLAR]

The few songs I've heard were ok but I don't think much of them I prefer The Streets, some songs by Eminem ( that dude's music can be somewhat related to the origanl old school style rap ) and Cunninlynguists ( now I can't be sure but I think they still perform old school style rap, I've only heard about six songs, I posted some songs on the jukebox thread aswell ) and a little from Tupac. Generally speaking the last 20 years have had a devastating effect on rap, hip-hop, rnb, and soul. It might be just me but they have drifted too far from their origin, the early days of that kind a music were full of good stuff unlike now, now it's basicly : i've got alot of bitches, jewelry, money, fancy cars, bling bling. And shit, I have heard only a few songs that were somewhat good. Thats my opinion of the US artists.
And a funny part from a rewiew about wu tang '' The possibility of their new album being successful is as great as putting eight pyromaniacs with matches into a warehouse full of explosives and hope that nothing blows up''

[jamie1992]

Hence why i love Wu Tang, they sing about stuff thats real and not all the bitches and money and how many times they been shot etc, take for example Raekwon, he was almost killed by one of the wu tang members by accident when he was a kid, the gun went off infront of his face and the bullet just missed killing him etc, and he never sings and glamorise's it.

The reason some people think bad of Wu Tang etc is because of all the shitty rap thats coming out today, like soulja boi and lil wayne, those 2 are killing rap, along with 50 cent etc, theres no real rap anymore except for Wu Tang, maybe a few of ice cube's joints, apart from that its the new R&B thats coming out, Rap and Bullshit.

Long live the Wu Tang is all i can say.

Hey DARK TEMPLAR I installed the DOOM 3 and patched it to 1.3 on Vista Ultimate 32 bit. It plays like a charm, no problems.

In fact, while installation (despite it was not a good idea, but because I had been downloading soething at that time) I left my AV and Firewall running. Still, the game installed OK.

One thing though, that I can recommend that you should try. First, got out of internet, then shut down your AV and (if you have one -you must have one if you don't) shut down your Firewall. Secondly, important: turn off your Windows Defender and User Account Control, and then install the game.
When you start play, do not turn on those two: Defender and User Account Control.

(PS: If you do not have a firewall, get one, do not trust the Microsoft one. Zonealarm offers one FREE, very easy to use, no knowledge is required, and despite it's free, it's VERY formidable.)
