Columbo. Jessica Fletcher. Dr Mark Sloane. Holmes. Bergerac. etc.

Fins drive cars fast and party hard.
Detective work is not a strong facet of your national stereotype dude.
But I have been watching this series:

Oh moment, that might classify as dark side again, wouldn't it? :lol:

Edit: Ahem, we do have Vares http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372594/ :oops:

I doubt that, but why no sound, it's broken? Someone nicked your high5?

I will get my package from Sweden tomorrow. No, it is no swedish penis enlargement device, but high5 parts for my new speakers, hopefully I get them tested tomorrow too, perhaps I can even hear speech from speakers then, current ones just mumble.

Blimey, that might cause fire, in US you could sue manufacturer and be a millionaire, what a luck to live in UK (or Finland, same policies), eh?

What I found out, when checking out computer speakers, was that them all are crap, when you look price and what you get, it really has no connection. 20-30 from soap boxes that sound like granny with pillow on her face, with that kind of money, resourceful guy can build something better, but it is not always very simple task.

Try headphones, Koss Porta Pro is very good value for money, those did open my ears.

I think I got mine free with a Kinder Egg or similar.
Or they were given to me from a friend.
Or i stole them.

Its not worth Sueing anyone anyway.

I enjoy doing the parts when people are speaking inside my head anyway.

its far more fun. 8)

Rofl, well it is okay as long as you know they are only voices inside your head, but when you actually start seeing people around you that really aren't there, then you should worry.

I think that I have caught some horrifying disease today, my arm looks like surface of moon and is full of red dots, I haven't just figured out if that is dark side of moon or not, well it also itches a lot, can't bloody sleep because of this now, what next, limb fells off? :lol:
Maybe need to visit a doctor, again :shock:

Sounds like contact dermititus.
Try barrier cream.
If it's no better after 24 hrs, then hit the doc.
If it eases up, you're allergic to something.

I bet my money to allergy, there are only few things and as allergic reaction happens typically almost instantly, then I would say that there are only 3 possibilities, but if it would take little time to kick in then only 1 possibility. Must do some testing, human tests, does that count as dark side? Dr. Moreau, you have a competitor! :lol:

Please don't turn yourself into human/bear hybrid to cure your dermititus!
It's not worth it.
