He spent about 5 minutes trying to harass tabes playing the quiz, Then when I asked him to leave them alone,
and just chill at the bar, he called me a wanker, but then he apologised. He then spent about 10 mins telling me how I was wrong, and that pubs were for speaking to people, and then he called me a wanker again. Then he apologised and promised to leave everyone alone and just finish his pint. Then he started harassing the staff, called one of them a whore, and so I told him to leave. He hugged me, and then got offensive and told me to to fuck off, and he was going to wait outside for the police so he could beat them up (at no point did i threaten to call the police) after about 10 minutes, he came back in, told me i was a wanker, and that he was really sorry, he's just an old alcoholic and wanted someone to talk to. Then we had a nice hug, he smelt like whiskey mac, and he told me he loved me, and that if I wanted he would buy me a beer in the half moon across the road.

From wiki
Limited editions

Throughout the years there have been several limited edition flavours available for a short period of time. A "Baked Bean" flavour was made available in 2003 for Comic Relief. A "Vanilla Ice Cream" flavour was released in 2004, and was received with mostly negative reaction. This type of monster munch was non-savoury, and it contained sugar instead of salt.

There were also variants that could turn the consumer's tongue a different colour. This usually meant the tongue was turned blue, though a variant that could turn the tongue either blue or green was available for a time.

Yes, but usually a "limited edition"
is individually numbered, so as to prove its provenance, for investment purposes/inclusion in a collection, etc.
Nothing is produced forever (except possibly bullshit).
(, Wed 24 Oct 2012, 15:42, Reply)
Crisps are not produced for the purpose of investment or inclusion in a collection.
There would be nothing to gain from producing a run of 100 individually numbered packets.
But if you were to make a big thing about only producing a particular flavour for a limited time period, you increase the desirability of the product and sell more than if you had simply launched it as a new flavour to the range.
If this proves to be successful then you can still reserve the right to add it to the range "due to public demand"

If you want to lend me one, I can completely fill it up with movies/telly.

Trouble with that one is (a) it'll look ugly for a livingroom, and (b) the telly itself might not be able to see both hard drives like a normal computer.

Two of these and doing the hot-swap thing I said down there would be a good sollution... its not like you'd ever use more than one HD at a time anyway.

The sound would be of the disks spinning up, not from the caddy/power itself. So you should be alright with any of them.
If you want some extra 'wow' factor, but would spend few quid more, then go for a "NAS" type, it'll plug into your rooter and everything can access it. Or you can get caddies with HDMI ports that essenchally do the job for you.

How are you plugging it into the telly?
(, Wed 24 Oct 2012, 16:16, Reply)
I don't want anyting like that as I'll have to run cables around my fireplace and it's a non starter
I just want to put my hard disk in a caddy and then plug the caddy into the telly via USB.
(, Wed 24 Oct 2012, 16:18, Reply)
Cool, ok, this is how I'd do it.
I'd get one USB cable, run it behind the telly and let it loose into where you're planning to keep the media equipment. I'd then get two identical caddies (if they're laptop you can skip this bit) so the power sockets are the same, and run the power cable too behind it. Now you can hot-swap one disk for another when you want it. You might want to put some masking tape over the light too.

With the other caddie's powercable and USB cable, you can keep that attached to where-ever your computer is, so you can hot-swap on that end for loading content.

Forget all the extras like RAID, NAS and Media, go for cheap and one that looks right for your setup. Cheaper ones don't have coolants.
