The 'Things That Are Great' Thread

Oh no they do, I'm just a fat bloke trapped in a skinny blokes body.

I can eat shitloads and not seem to put it on, so I generally just follow what my cravings tell me =p

I'm currently having a BBQ at the minute, and I'm already thinking about going getting some McNuggets later when I'm bored.
 
Once my metabolism goes from Veyron > Beetle I'll be fucked I know that much, my dad used to be as skinny as me and now he's huge, but ah well I'll live life while I can.
 
Going to a student's house for yakiniku and beer and being given a big bag of gifts from her husband. He's a sales rep for a drug company and they have loads of novelty items to bribe the doctors to promote their drugs. I got some laser pens, 2GB USB sticks and hubs, LED torches, infra red mouse, pens, phone chargers and card readers and shit loads of other stuff.

TechNet Plus is a Microsoft service which offers full, legitimate versions of software to IT professionals (or whoever wants to pay for it). The subscription usually saps your wallet for $349 US, if you only want downloads, or $599 if you'd like disc versions too. However, as you can see, this is pretty pricey... the good news is, if you live in the US, the UK or Canada, our friendly Redmond-based software company has you covered.

If you live in the US, you can go here to get it sorted, or here for Canadians, and if you're in the UK, this will have you up and running. According to our pals at Ars Technica, you will need the following information: First name, last lame, street address, city/town, state, postal code, email, and contact phone number. You'll obviously need a valid address if you wish to get CD/DVD media, but otherwise you can use any for the direct software downloads.

Once that's all well and done, you'll need to do a few more things before you have a wealth of freebies within your grasps:

1. Sign In: Visit the TechNet Subscriptions Benefits Portal (you may be prompted to re-sign in using your Windows Live ID).
2. Register: You will be required to enter your first name, last name, e-mail address (exactly as they appear in your "Ship to" information) and Benefit Access Number: XXXXXXXXXX and accept the license terms.
3. Access Benefits: Once you have completed the registration, you will be able to access your online benefits, including Subscriber Downloads from the TechNet Subscriptions Management page. Each time you visit you will sign in using your Windows Live ID.

For those in other countries, it seems you're out of luck, but no doubt there are ways around these limitations. Let us know how it goes!

[Update]: Ars Technica is reporting that this offer may not be for one year as first thought, but only three months. Never-the-less, it's best to get in early and make the most of this while you can.

Nights out for someones birthday when you can afford to get them absolutely hammered...and then they thank you for it.

Even makes a horrible place like St. Helens enjoyable when you're out for someones birthday.
 
Making a profit of £600 from a night out at the casino! Life is good.... I walked out with £700 but started the night with £100! 3 card brag!, Blackjack and Roulette all helped! Even by hitting the straight flush and 3 of a kind at 3 card brag! I'm gonna have a look at that Blackberry now as an iPhone is out of the question..
 
My Grandad.

78 years of age, and he goes and gets himself a brand new car. Trades the car he's had for 15 years, the car I thought he'd be buried in or something, and he doesn't even bother test driving it.

Went round to see it today, and he's absolutely chuffed to bits with it, Focus C-Max and it's lovely. Comfortable and fully loaded with all sorts of stuff that he'll never use :D

Also, I'd forgotten how small and well designed the PS2 Slimline was. Just got mine back off my mate after a year away at Uni and after seeing the PS3 and 360 next to it, it's a great piece of kit.
