    Stolen MS Points

    Does it show where they came from ? i.e store card or a serial number of the card used ? Anything to relate the box/card I have to the redemption basically. Cheers

    Stolen MS Points

    Need slightly more concrete than that before I go round asking him to log in :p Slightly more mature than that also, he's a kid, and I am 28, if he has done wrong I will talk to him, but the last thing I want to do is "accuse" him without proper evidence.

    Stolen MS Points

    Ok, slightly dramatic thread title. What's happened, is I bought some points ages ago with a game, possibly MW3, never used them. Came to use them today and the card has been used and the box is open , so I am guessing my brat of a little brother has redeemed them on his console...

    Best core2quad Board to buy ?

    Seems they demand a massive second hand premium between £200 and £300. I know i said no budget but that strikes me as a bit steep for "old" technology ? Is it worth going for that , or a brand new £50 job. I.e will i really notice the difference in performance.

    Not wishing to state the obvious here, but you do realise that you will owe 540k on an interest only mortgage. That means with payments of £900 per month over your 2 year fixed term you will pay 22k out in "rent" and at the end of those two year you will STILL owe 540k. Why dont you just rent...

    Clutch down, engine on?

    No, the clutch only temporarily disengages the gearbox. As long as the clutch isnt pressed the input shaft will still spin.
