  1. The things that iOS does well, it does very very well. It is simple, (My 4 year old has had the iPad sussed out from about 18 months old) and does what you want it to do at the push of a button. For those who want a beautiful looking premium handset, that does what it is told when it is told to do it, it is great. I don't like the menu layout - lack of customisation, lack of widgets and folders, the fact that NFC is only just available and is locked down so stringently.... the fact that the opportunities to customise the handset is limited to what case I put on it and that fundamentally, everyone's iPhone looks and behaves identically. But what I also know is that if someone offered me an Anroid smartphone in an iPhone 6 or 6 plus body, I would snap their hands off for it.

  3. Mrs E has been with them for 4 years...no coverage issues or problems. As opposed to O2 who regularly have service outages in my neck of the woods, accompanied by 2 mid contract price rises I'm open to a new provider.
  4. Yep. Agree with Darren. I would far rather have a knowledgeable, qualified, intelligent, independent legal professional preside over my guilt or innocence than 12 tabloid reading idiots dragged from the local council estate.
  5. Its through Utility Warehouse and they piggy back EE. It wasn't a great tariff for inclusive minutes but I barely talk on the phone anyway......
  6. I can't see that tbh. Any major gossip would have been leaked to absolute **** by now. It would be all over the press given his profile as leader of the Mel Gibson "Freedom!!!!!" Memorial Performance. perhaps his friends get the police to put the squeeze on people to stay quiet, you know, like they do for George Osbourne Fair comment. Zahn_Zuang is there a member of the Scottish constabulary holding your testicles as you type?

  8. If that nationalisation happened any major company that did business in scotland would be falling overthemselves to get out as fast as they could. The newly formed Scottish stock market would crash and burn and they newly formed national of scotland would implode into chaos. I can't believe that is anything but pre-referendum rhetoric and rabble rousing. None of it is deliverable.
  9. Just seen the verdicts. Not surprised she's acquitted on the firarms and ammo possession charges, they are not really relevent given the culpable homicide conviction. I haven't seen the full trial or heard all of the evidence but my perception is that the judge (who has been excellent IMO) has arrived at the only verdict available to her. Only Oscar knows, and will ever know what really happened that night but if his story is true, I can see how a man on his stumps, fire arm in hand, when confronted with an "intruder" in his home shoots first and asks questions later. Its massively easy to moralise about what he should have done or what he shouldn't have done when we are (I assume) healthy able bodied individuals who (predominantly) live in a country where violent burglary is extremely rare. Any "reasonable" person knows that if you fire 4 bullets into what is essentially a toilet cubicle, you are going at best seriously injure the person behind the door - OP knew that when he opened fire, especially given the ammo he was using. He IS responsible for Reeva's death and it absolutely could have been avoided so the verdict IMO is correct. As for a sentence, I can well imagine a massive fine and a significant suspended prison sentence. I'm not an SA legal expert in anyway shape or form but I'm a little surprised he has been bailed pending sentence, so I can see a prison sentence is far from guaranteed - and actually, for a certain point of view the better outcome is to relieve him of several million and make use of it to benefit society.
  10. Yeah he's not getting done for murder of any description. Now thinking that culpable homicide verdict is looking like a nice compramise. I thought we were told that knocking down the charge to something less in SA wasn't possible? General consensus (The BBC anyway) appears to be that it is very much an option..... I presume the charges on offer have to be made at the start of proceedings although I really don't know.
  11. He is in that he killed her. I don't accept what he says for a moment. First thing you do when you think there is an intruder in the house is check your nearest and dearest are ok. Especially if she is supposed to be asleep next to you but given the circumstances, noone will ever know what actually happened so culpable homicide seems about right to me.
  12. I disagree. He can't be guilty of murder but they will convict him of culpable homicide. The judge was clear that firing through the door was unlawful but there is no evidence he intended to kill when he fired.
  13. This has to be the most pointless debate on VT I have ever read. Who **** cares. As long as he remains a Villa player he can do what the **** he wants for any shithouse internation outfit he feels inclined to turn out for.
  14. The SNP would be holding street parties if Better Together deploy the most English man ever to convince the SCots to stay.
  15. She's just bitter she no longer has the pleasure of getting smashed to pieces on a regular basis by Big John.
  16. Not a chance in hell - the judge has already as good as said so.

  18. Sonos systems are ace. I'm not sure beyond an office space why or where you'd need wall mounted USB ports - ditto that for ethernet cables given that we have this thing called "wi-fi" now. If your fridge freezer has an ice maker thingy on it, get one that is plumbed in rather than one you have to re-fil because thats a massive ballache.
  19. I personally hope he never gets anywhere near the England team because the track record of Villa players playing for England is that they **** off at the earliest possible opportunity. Keep pulling up trees for Ireland Jack, and for Gods sake sign the new Villa contract.
  20. The day of reckoning is here for Oscar P then. My money is still on a not guilty to culpable homicide.
  21. G3 will cost me £26 a month for all I need and make my gas and electricity bills 10% cheaper so.....
  22. 18+ Exceptions being professional sports people and goalkeepers playing sport in sunny conditions.
  23. The law was adapted to accomadate Murali - the bowler should bowl with a straight arm otherwise it becomes a baseball pitch. I agree there needs to be a degree of flex but if you google the images of Ajmal's and the Sri Lankan Mankad merchant their actions take the piss.
