First Group are not competent to do it, look what happened to the East Coast Main Line when they bid way over the odds.

Degraded over the years
Back in 1993 BBC1 looked fantastic on DTTV, really really good. (I know don't be pedantic)
This was with a Wega tube IDTV. DVDish bitrates.
Since then they have been squeezing the bit rate down and down.
Now BBC 1 is actually quite ropey.
Using DSTV BBC1HD is not that different in picture to how BBC1 SD used to look when it first started.
The last change to DSO really made BBC1 look bad. (Oh and above IDTV was not compatible - good job I sold it to someone with a sat box)
I do as much as I can,
Strip a quad cam V6 to change valve seals - check
FIt LPG to a car - check
Build a PC - check
I used to run an old car and I knew it inside out, replaced lots of bits, bigger engine, forest suspension ect.
Now I would not trust a mechanic to do the cam belt - one said to me do not need the locking kit - so why is it adjustable to fractions of degree?
LPG - seen professional systems mess up, my DIY install didn't
Yes, it is cheaper and less restrictive than buying a ready made.
I wanted multiple terabytes of HDD. Not bothered with absolute speed so got Samsung drives
I wanted a hot processor in my case a quad
I wanted XP Pro - still have to run some older packages
I wanted a BD Burner - video editing
Then bought suitable components.
lens sensors amd megapixels
Yes I have taken lots of lowish megapixel pictures of quite decent quality.
Lens good - well it is for a domestic video camera.
sensor - pretty good again, but low megapixels.
My last video camera was about 1.2MP and the quality was OK even at A4.
Newest does 6MP as it is HD and I have some nice pictures off it.
Actually I find the version still on my home XP PC might be 7, may be 8, is very sluggish, seems to take a while to do anything, FF is quite quick in comparison. (I needed to compare 2 Ebay accounts).
Q8200 so no slouch.
My daughter recently got a new Win 7 laptop, she installed Firefox rather rapidly
Well in the UK we do not add hormones and antibiotics are only used when necessary.
Sheep as mentioned before are only paperwork away from organic, pasture cows - no problem, pigs should have room to run about.
Chickens - as long as free range.
So get decently raised meat and a decent butcher - you get decent meat.
Supermarket cheap stuff has not hung at all.
Was classed as constructive dismissal.
Was given shit jobs to try to get me to leave. But I wanted more experience. Did 2 years more than I wanted there.
Got me finally on trumped up charges of insufficient testing (machine which didn't work had different graphics type to the developer computers and I didn't link in ONE lib). Oh and the site was used as our test site.
For at least 10 seconds I thought who can look after the program, HR gave me leave now or go to meeting where sacking will happen.
First stop was job centre, straight on to benefits, took a month to come through due to constructive dismissal.
Happy ending.
1) Been in current job a LONG time.
2) That employer shut shop locally.
For Naughty Dog....
They are welcome to the money!
Oh and on Disc it doesn't fill your drive.
As to selling a game of theirs - philistine!
And just because you don't play does not mean your slot is reused, use multiplayer and a slot is taken, and not reused.
BTW I only MP ND and Guerilla Games, and have 100s of hours on them.
Premium brands - I'm happy with Westons and Healeys, however would like to see Strongbow banned and a complete ban on importing cider into the main cider producing country on Earth.
BTH most of the premium brand cider is over priced crap and the best stuff is smaller producer
Stuff Mario - annoying little plumber - never been a fan, prefered blue hedgehogs but mainly early FPS.
I'd say Nathan Drake is more of a pull for adults than the above annoying plumber.
Finances are the restrictor at the moment, otherwith UC:GA would be mine.
When we get a Vita Killzone Mercenary will be ours too.
Boys Christmas presents then they go and announce a Killzone game - sorry I now have to get one for me.
Games we will be getting
Uncharted Golden Abbyss
Resistance Burning Skies
Wipeout
LBP
Gravity Rush
Escape Plan
Little Deviants
Tearaway
Killzone Mercenary
Already decided PS4 purchasing depends on Naughty Dog and Guerilla not the hardware division
