I was speaking to somebody today who was telling me he was "always going to vote Labour no matter what". Therein lies the problem I think. I asked the obvious "why" question and they told me they were a believer in not changing principles and that Labour would have done alright if it wasn't for the "Global Recession" I'll not go into the "global" recession because I have a feeling 3G will have something to say on that. If we are stupid enough to loudly exclaim a staunch allegiance to one particular party "no matter what" then what incentive do the politicians have to act in this area. They are naturally going to pay more attention to areas in which a few votes will cost them their seat.

Just me there at about 9:30

We have been entered into the Northumberland in Bloom event as was raised at a previous town council meeting. As far as I know the flowers are to be provided by NCC.

Sorry still don't understand what you are trying to say. One is lit with fluorescent lighting one with LEDs. Both are backlit but LED backlighting is more even. What's in dispute about that? My point is you said LED TVs weren't backlit but they are.

I'm not saying that. I bought a cheap noname fluorescent backlit one a few years ago and the newer LED backlit ones ARE far superior like you say. But it's still backlighting like the older ones, just with a different light source that's all.

No matter what lighting technology is used it's still backlighting whichever way you spin it. Again just another case of the marketing department wanting to print more stickers. LED does result in more even backlighting though in my experience.

We'll give you the credit for the new record number of users online at once today.

Bricks gave it away but only because I made a thumbnail of the library sign for the library/community centre news article. here's one...

Nobody remember the huge swathes of British builders landing in Germany then? I don't I'm too young but my point stands

Keep fighting the fight Debra.

it's actually 600Hz but that's really pushing it yeah that's the idea but I'm not convinced. 100 fps maybe but 600... Not so sure. I think it's megapixel syndrome kicking in.

Your TV may be 50Hz but that is interlaced and displays alternating lines then rescans and fills in the blanks. 24/25 Hz or fps in progressive scan (display the fullframe at once) is what the movie studios aim at for a filmic look. That's a seperate issue though and what you suggested (yes I'm being pedantic) was to buy a 600 'milli' Hertz TV i.e. 0.6 frames per second. I'm not convinced of the need for 600Hz as the human eye can't interpret that many frames in a second. Another sticker for the TV that's all it is for all but the very fastest scenes.

I would definately opt for LED backlighting. I have a regular back lit LCD set and it is very noticeable in dark scenes. Blacks are greys and the backlighting is uneven. I wouldn't bother with a 600mhz TV as Monsta suggests. You'll quickly get bored of watching movies at that framerate. 24Hz at least I'd say

hmmmm, now are you sure this time?

Watching the third debate... since when did cuts = taking money out of the economy? Brown seems to think the Government IS the economy. Money back into the private sector, there's your efficiency savings.

Ah! Now that could make more sense.

There was a carrington in Midlothian, Scotland until 1975 if that's any help.

Maybe we could install loudspeakers playing classical music in all known hostile states as a pre-emptive measure... well it worked for the Metro.

Some brilliant marketing from IKEA http://www.thekitchen.ikea.co.uk/domestic-policy/election.html

I think Monsta is referring to Camerons interview with Paxman where he did a very poor job of answering a question on which areas were more dependant on the public sector.

Or am I about to be hit over the head with a frozen husky?

You looking for self sacrifice?
