Good to see you back Ponti.
I was also wondering about your whereabouts.

Oh, this has been answered, but welcome back. Hope that you are feeling a little better, although resolution, closure, acceptance and even coming to terms with the facts are hard to come by in these circumstances and probably shouldn't even be looked for, ime etc etc.
No, I'm not going to. The site appears to have been taken offline already, actually. Whoever they are, they have at least part of teh demonoid database.
Hiya Folks 
- I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the day.
So Blackpaw - DSP - BHM no longer posting? Back to the usual community feeling for a while then.
Was in Istanbul for the last week, was great fun and I really enjoyed it. Only downside - the stupid and unnecessary tourist rip off 'tricks' that a lot of places seem to think is necessary. (order two beers and you get a bowl of nibbles with them, the nibbles cost you 2€ when your bill arrives[stupid stuff like that]). I'm currently cooking a Turkish Aubergine stew (same stew that I normally cook but I'm drinking Raki so It's Turkish).

It is a bit like that, innit? I guess you should know what to expect when you arrive at the airport and they skank you for ten quid as a kind of processing fee for going through passport control. Great seafood there, although I dread to think what it eats.
I went with my partner, we have both been to Turkey before but not together and neither one of us to Istanbul so thought we would give it a try (loved it and will be going back after the summer)
Yeah I was expecting it but it still leaves you with a bad feeling - the 10£ rule (depending where your from) still applies. At least you now get a sticker instead of the guys putting your money in a box :D. The food was amazing and if you walked a few blocks from the main touristy streets you could eat for next to nothing - we had the same/ish meal two nights in a row, tourist price was 40TL next night in a 'local' place the same meal was 17TL. Fishing seems to be one of the national pass times / form of income - if your next to the sea etc you can watch the guys catch the fish (sardines) and then the stall owners buy them, clean them, bbq them and serve in a bun with salad for next to nothing :D.
Talking of tourist rip off tricks there was a British couple on the BBC news this morning that were charged £54 for 4 ice creams in Rome.Bearlove said:
The mayor of Rome got to hear of it and has invited them to come back to Rome and I guess they may just get some free ice cream thrown in as well.

Reminds me I used to have this recurring dream when I was a small child (around 6) of being chased through the woods by a velociraptor (post- Jurassic Park) and that was always what I did, let it eat me so I'd wake up.
Anyway just popping in to say hello to everyone and apologise for not having answered any PMs. Thanks a lot to everyone who offered help, support, or just simply thought of me and the people affected by Aaron's death. It's been a slow climb but things are kind of sort of falling back into place. Funeral really did a number on me though. Won't go into any details but some elements of it made it impossible for me to interpret it in any way whatsoever as something that could bring closure, in any way.
Carry on
Woooh welcome back!

Ha, he probably led them to a container in a quiet dockyard where they were mercilessly beaten and told to keep quiet about it or face the consequences.
I was sitting watching the guys catch them, the vendors buying them, cooking them, and selling them all in the time It took me to drink a couple of pints. TBH I have only been to Marmaris and my last trip was Istanbul but will be going back for sure.
^I hate it ! I would always tip a few € for a couple of beers but when they try and rip you off with a bowl of peanuts they actually make less profit? I would tip a few € for free peanuts instead of you charging me 1€ for them and I leave no tip as I feel robbed.

So a while ago someone was saying that you can put your loose change collection (in my case a jar of 2 and 1 p pieces) into those automatic till machines in supermarkets as they have a funnel for coins. In practice it's not much fun because the machine can only count coins quite slowly, not like those Coinstar jobbies which are designed to handle volume. So what happens is that about half your coins get counted and about half just spew straight out again. It's not a very low profile or high speed way of buying things.
I have a feeling that pouring lots through it might actually have caused it to err in my favour ever so slightly, can't be sure, but it seemed to reach the £1 mark without making a massive dent in the jar,

Takes away all the Fun . I gotta Old School Bells one Five Litre . Best i've got is about £42 then it was ...........................guess.
DON'T do it ! If you have a lot of change then get some change bags from your bank and drop a few off every time your next to them. If after changing your change you 'want' to make a donation to your charity then do so.
Most city centers have a few branches - find out how many bags of change your branch will accept. Go at a non busy time (10am / 3pm) and give them a few bags extra per branch . See how much it cost you to get to your branch / how much would it cost you to use a change machine (the machines are so expensive).
