Runescape

Runescape is an online game from a company called Jagex. Jagex also own a game called fun0rb. Runescape has got a bit boring now becuase they havn't really updated the game since it 1st started. You make a character then you have to go to the tutorial island to learn about the game and some features of it which is a bit pointless. As soon as you've got onto the proper game you can speek to real people which are some where in the world. You can kill things to get your levels up. You start off with level 3 but you can get it higher very easily. You can go to the duel arena and fight characters for fun or you can fight them in staked mode. You can make money by trading other people or buy selling some of your items in the grand exchange. The grand exchange is where you can sell any of your items for a set amount of money then other players in the game will buy your things. It's a bit like ebay but on the game and it's not highest bidder wins the thing. You can sell most of your things in the grand exchange. Ypu can get hair cuts and clothes for some money. You can go on the game any where in the world but you need to download JAVA. Hope you have a good time playing the game if you have any questions you can allways email me. My email address is some in the previous posts i thionk it is on the hi one.

Flight Simulater x (fsx)

This is a flight simulater game from Microsoft. You can play it no matter how old you are and it is good for pilots as well. You can do missions what include taking people to different places. You can also go in free flight where you just do what you want in any aircraft. And then there is multiplayer this is where you can speak to other players world wide. This just means online mode so you dont need any other people with you. All you need a gamespy username and password if you don't have one there is a button where you can sign up. As soon as you are flying you can speak to other people by pressing enter. Please note that you will need to be connected to the internet. Please note that there are online games in different languages. The flight simulater works with all windows inclding windows Vista. The graphics are excellent and you do feel as though you are in a plane flying it in the real world. The controls are simple press S to change veiws and you can zoom in using = and out using - this maybe the other way around. There are many planes and airports to choose from. You can setup a flight from any airport to another airport as well and you can setup failures. You can get boeings, Airbuses, cessnas, leajets, Helicopters and otherfun aircrafts. But the install process can take up to 30 mins plus.

Rm computers

Rm make computers for schools and for education purposes but they are hopeless. You can press on the screen and it just bounces same witht he plastic underneath it. The internet never works and it takes a long time to load up. And it keeps freezing. It comes with windows Xp and has a intel celeron processer. Just don't buy one for your school.

Cars (game)

The game cars is ok but it could be improved. If you want to enter a cheat it can take some time as you have got to type in the words with the scroll buttons up and down. The graphics are ok for the ps2 as well. You play the game by doing races and hopefully winning them this will allow you to unlock different cars and tracks. You can play the game in 1 or 2 player mode. You can race in the piston cups which you just go round in a big circle. And then you can do a proper race around a set track. Over all i would rate this game 3/5.

The iphone

The iphone is a touch screen mobile phone from Apple. It has the internet and loads of the technology you would expect. It has a built in Ipod and has a 8GB memory space. But you can only buy it on O2 in the uk. The phone costs £300 but then it's £50 from O2 for your contract. The screen is very good and so is the graphics. It has a built in map and on the menu it has a link to youtube and the stock exchange. To go to the Apple website click here. If i was you though i would just stick to a normall phone.

Top gear episode 2 series 11

Episode 2 will be on your screens on sunday the 29th June 2008. I am not going to tell you what happens but if you do want to know go to the top gear website which is www.topgear.com or www.bbc.co.uk/topgear. After the episode i will write a post to tell you what happened.

Top Gear series 11 episode 1

This is what happened on the 1st episode of series 11. Jeremy test drove the Ferrari f430 scuderia and said that it wasn't that good. He also did an experiment to see how long 5 supercars could keep their fuel. The cars was the Lamborghini Murcielago, Audi R8, Aston Martin DBS, Mercedes-mclaren slr and the Ferrari 599. He topred them up with a gallon of fuel and then drove them around the track in a race. The Audi R8 won. Then he test drove a Toyota prius against the BMW M3 to see which was most economicall. It turned out that the Beemer was the most economicall. Then we was introduced to a new presenter he's called the top gear stuntman. He reversed an old car up a ramp to jump over some cars. Unluckely he smashed into the cars underneath him. But he beat the world record for doing this only becuase there wasn't one. Then Hammond, May and clarkson bought some cars for under £1000. They had to turn them into modern day police cars. Hammond bought a Suzuki 4x4 james bought a Lexus and Jeremy bought a Fiat Coupe. They was then given £500 to put things like sirens, paint and blue lights on their cars. They was then given a challenge. The stig took a Vauxhall Astra police car around the track the presenters had to beat his time in their cars. Then they had to clear a car crash where a road was blocked in under 2 minutes then they had to arrest the stig using their cars. James had fitted some paint squiter mashines to the back of his car so he waited for the stig to go round the track then May puled out on him and squited him with paint but the stig just turned on his windscreen wipers. Then Hammond tried it with a stinger what he had fitted on the front of his car but it was to short the stig just avoided it. Then Clarkson had fitted some spikes onto his wheels. So he went next to the stig and scrapped them along his car but instead Jeremy lost his wheel. Overall richard won the challenge.

Free email accounts

If your wanting to get a free email account there alot to choose form some are rubbish where as some are good. I'm going to tell you about some of them. Hotmail is a service from Microsoft. You it works very well. You don't need to download anything all you've got to do to veiw your emails is go to msn.co.uk. Also if you download msn messenger you can have the same domain for messenger as hotmail. And you can check your emails using messenger. Another one is from a company called Easy they own Easyjet. This is a very good service. All you have to do to check your email is go to www.easy.com and click free email then type in your information but there is no ok button so you have to click enter. And to sign up you click on free email. Another good company is GMX. To veiw your email or to sign up you just go to www.gmx.co.uk. And all the details are on there. None of these companies have been known to give your computers viruses but if you do have problems with them you need to tell them not me.

my blog site

Myblogsite is a company what lets you make blogs with them for free. There are a few problems with them though. You can have any domain but when you sign up for it it says www. but when you type it in the address bar you've got to just type in the name.myblogspot.com not the www. part. Also you cannot change your template you can only have a black one and it looks awful. Ive had a few blogs with my blog spot and now i cant go on them for some reason. Also it takes ages to post a blog. You'll click post but it will take about 20 seconds where as on here it only takes about 3. Also the sign up process is stupid you've got to veriefy your email address you've entered then they ask for you to put how much you earn a year. If your wanting a blog just use e blogger.

Maybach

This is a fantastic luxury car. In the back you get recliner seats, stands to put your laptop on and anything else you want. Although the cabin could look abit better it's just full of controls. The maybach costs £263,000 but it is well worth it. But the boot is about the same size as a normal £20,000 car. If your looking for a Rolls Royce you will definentley like this car. 0-60 takes place in 5.0 seconds and the top speed is 170mph. Other drives: Rolls Royce, helicopter or try a boat.

Chrysler Crossfire

This has got to be the worst Coupe you can buy today. The interior is abit dodgey the gearstick looks like its come form a Hatchback. it's all plastic and awfull. Well it is American so what can you expect. 0-60 takes place in 7.8 seconds and the top speed is 144mph. The time it takes it to get from 0-60 is the same as a 2.5 tonne Land Rover Range Rover. It costs £24,995 so at this price you'd expect a good interior and a good perfromance. Other drives: Audi TT and any thing else.

Audi R8

This has got to be the best supercar whats around the £80,000 mark. It's very fast and the handlings good. 0-60 takes plcae in about 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 187mph. It comes with Sat nav, air con and you can get leather seats. It costs about £80,000. But there are a few problems the headlamps are stupid and they don't look that good neither. The interior though is excellent you get the same steering wheel as what you get on a RS6. The R8 is abit like the Porsche 911 because you can use it everyday. Ohter drives: Aston martin Vantage, porsche 911 (try and avoide it though) or the BMW m6. To go to the Audi website click here

Macbook air

This is one of the smallest laptops in the world but is it worth having. Well it's only got 1 usb port so this means that you will have to bluetooth everything to it. And that means that you will have to have another laptop or computer. It comes with macbook operating system. It costs over £1000. But it looks as though if you drop it it will just split in half. Thats all i can tell you about the macbook becuase i've never owned any apple product.

What is Tri band and Quad band

Tri band means that you can make and recieve phone calls in the uk, Europe and Amercica where as Quad band will work all over the world. Phones with Quad band cost around £100 plus where as Tri band phones cost around £50 plus. Most phones now come with Quad band.

Sony Ericsson w580i

This is probaly the best slider walkman phone you can get. It will hold lots of songs and plays them really well. The earphones you get are from the sony mp3 players and they can fit in the computer as well if you pull the top part from the bottom part of them. The phones has got a 2.0 megapixel camera but it's quality isn't that good. The phone has bluetooth, mp3 player, camera, quad band, internet and a built in step counter. The phone is best on t-mobile with text appeal where texts only cost you 3p.

Windows Vista

You may have heard that windows vista isn't that good well it is ive got it on my laptop. You have the windows switcher hwat lets you switch from progarmme to programme when you click on the icon the screen goes dark then all the programmes you have open go in a line then you click on the programme you want then it opens it for you. Show desktop is where if you click it it takes you to your desktop. Locking the computer when you do this it it takes you to the welcome screen then to go back to the programmes you just type in your password. Some older games and programmes wont work with windows vista. This is becuase they would have been made before windows vista came out.

Ferrari 612

The Ferrari 612 is the only Ferrari to have 4 seats. 0-60 takes palce in about 4.0 seconds and the top speed is 199mph the only thing is why cant Ferrari make 200mph. There is only coupe version of the 612. But there is a downside there is a 3 year waiting list for one. it does 13.6mpg. It has 540bhp but the 599 has 620. The 612 costs £182,000 new. The interior is similar to the 599 and the F430. It also has a V12 engine. But i would still have the 599 to the 612. To go to the Ferrari website click here.

The Toshiba Equium a210-171

The a210-171 is one of the best laptops you can buy. It comes with Windows Vista home premium. Its battery lasts for upto 2.5 hours. The keyboard is white and is balck on the otherside of the screen. The touchpad is very good and sensitive. It costs around £499 and if you buy it from PC world you can get tech guys. It has a 1 year warranty one it with Toshiba. If you've heard that windows vista isn't any good it is. I have the Equium a210-171 and it's excellent. Toshibas are way better than acers my uncle has an acer and you can hardley hear the speakers and the keyboard is rubbish. I would rate the a210-171 100 out of 10. If you would like to ask me any questions about the a210-171 email me joem2@gmx.co.uk.

Land Rover discovery 3

This is a very good 4x4 from land Rover. It has 7 seats the cabin is simular to the one you get in the Range rover sport and in the Freelander. You get terrain response for when you go off road and an eletric handbrake. You can get it as a automatic or a manual. There is an option between leather seats or not. 0-60 takes place in about 10.0 seconds and the top speed is about 115mph. It comes with a TDV8 or a V8 engine. Prices are £27,000 to £45,000.

German cars

Its pointless buying a car from Audi, Bmw, Mercedes because they have an agreement that they wont make a car over 155mph or something like that. The only cars what dont follow this rule is the Audi R8,Mclaren mercedes Slr and maybe the Bmw 6 series im not sure.

mercedes E63

The mercedes E63 is basicly the AMG e- class the interior is the same infact everythings the same apart from the speed and cost. 0-60 takes place in about 5 seconds and the top speed is 155mph. The E63 costs around £68,000 to £70,000. But it only comes as a auto. Other drives: Audi RS6, BMW m5 or Lexus IS-f. Click here to go to the Mercedes website.

Bmw 5 series

Dont bother with this car take the idrive system whats the point in that Beemer should have called it the icrash system or the idisract. The interior is horrible the back is horrible. 0-60 takes place in 8 seconds and the top speed is about 130mph. And another thing is the looks. So thats all for this post i cant think off anything to write becuase the car is so boring and horrible. Even whatcar dont like it anymore it used to be their best executive car but its not now thats gone to the Jag XF

How to find account hackers

This is how to avoid getting your runescape account hacked. NEVER give anyone your password. Dont give anyone your 1st password or any previuos passwords. If someone says give me your username and password and i can give you £9,000,000 email your password and user to ......@......... DON'T DO THAT AND REPORT THEM. I hope this works well. If you have had your runescape account hacked go to www.runescape.com then scroll down until there is a page what says recover a lost account do that then follow the instructions.

Asda Online shopping

I used the online shopping this morning and it was hopeless. Youve got to search through loads of Categories its hopeless. Say if you wanted pasta sauce youve got to go into the pasta menu then to the sauce menu then youve got to find the product. My simple advice is just use tesco's. just incase you want to do shopping online with asda heres the link .

Mercedes-Benz Viano

Please, please don’t buy this for a family car. It’s basically the Vito van with seats in it. If you’re a taxi driver it’s no good for you neither. You can have 6-8 seats. The interior is VERY ugly and stupid. And it’s very expensive prices start at £24,000 and end at £35,000 for that amount of money you could get 2 Peugeot 307’s. The security rating is 4/3. 0-60 takes place in 12 seconds and the top speed is 100mph. Other drives: Anything else. Click here to go the mercedes website.

Mini Clubman

My simple advice is don’t buy one. This is because it has three doors 2 in the front and one for the back. But the back one is on the right hand side that’s ok abroad but mini don’t change it over to the left. This means that if you break down on the motorway the rear passengers are exiting on to the motorway (lane 1,2 or 3). And the tailgate is horrible. It’s like on a van there’s 2 doors one of them opens sideways to the left and the other one to the right and it makes the car look ugly. The interior isn’t that good neither. 0-60 takes place in about 9 seconds and the top speed is about 120mph. Prices start at £14,000 and end at £17,000. The boot is very small. Other drives: anything, anything else just don’t buy this one. Click here to go the Mini website

Volvo V50

If you’re going to buy the V50 you may as well right paramedic down the side of it and put blue lights on the roof. Well nearly all ambulance stations have one. This is because they have big boots and are fast. 0-60 takes place in about 10 seconds and the top speed is about 130mph. Prices start at £16,000 and end at £25,000. Every model has alloy wheels and 4 electric windows. The interior is quiet good as well and it’s spacious. I know you’re not that bothered about this but the indicators are on the mirrors like most cars now. Other drives: Volvo V70, Vauxhall vectra, Saab 9-3 and the Jaguar x-type. Click here to go to the Volvo website.

Mercedes Gl-class

The Mercedes gl has got to be one of the biggest 4x4’s you can get apart from the Hummer. It has 7 seats which are comfy enough. A lot of 4x4 things are standard on the Gl like the hill decent and low ratio gears. The interior is a bit like the Ml. 0-60 takes place in 9.0 seconds and the top speed is 130mph. The Gl is capable of towing 3.5 tonnes. Prices start at £52,472 and end £66,522. So for this price i would rather have the Range Rover. Click here to go to the Mercedes website.

Jaguar XF

The XF is a brand new Jag what’s ok. It’s a bit to sensible. When it 1st came out i really liked it but now I don’t like it that much. The interior is excellent though. The gearstick is a circle what turns around to select the gears (automatic only). You press the go start button once for the battery to start then another time for the engine to turn on. When you turn it on the interior lights go blue which i think is ok when you first get the car but after a while I think you would get bored of it. 0-60 takes place in about 7 seconds and the top speed is about 140mph. Prices start at £33,000. If you’re looking for a new saloon in this price range you really need to test drive this car. Click here to go to the Jaguar website.

The Audi Rs6

This has got to be the best new estate car of the year. It’s ace. 0-60 in just 4.7 a top speed of 155mph but without the limiter it would be about 200mph. It’s practically the same as a normal A6 avant but A LOT faster. The interior is very good and looks good as well. Normally the interior goes downhill a bit when a car company takes on ordinary estate and turn it into a 155mph performance car. The rs6 costs about £72,000 but its well worth it. You get a V10 engine. It says “wonna piece of me?” and “can I help you with the shopping?”. The RS6 is only available as an estate but a saloon version is coming very soon. If you like the Bmw m5 you will definitely like this car. Click here to go to the Audi website.

But if you miss it you can always view it on bbc iplayer to go there click here. To go to the top gear website click here.

land Rover Range Rover

The land rover Range Rover is one of my favourite cars. It's a luxary 4x4 what is capabile of going off road and tow 3.5 tonnes. On the range rober you get a TDV8 engine. 0-60 takes place in 8 seconds and the top speed is about 120mph. You get sat nav, leather seats and alloy wheels all as standard. If you pay about £500 you get a TV. You get terrain response for when you go off road as well as a electric handbrake. You can get heated, and cooled seats and a heated steering wheel . The tailgate splits into two so it's easier to get stuff into the boot. Also this means that you can ait on the bottom part as well. There is three different specs the HSE which is £53,000 Vouge which is £60,000 and the vouge SE which is £68,000. The range rover only comes as an automatic.
