JamesF Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just been browsing for a gamepad to use with EQASCOM and discovered that vibrant pink versions seem to go for far less than their rather less exuberantly-coloured counterparts.That'll be me sorted then; and it should be easy to find in the dark, too James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesF Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I remember it well In fact, even my 10 and 8 year old children enjoy the Pink Panther On an unrelated note, until just over ten years ago I was "somewhere between the M4 and A329(M)" too, in Sindlesham.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Make sure you paint the nails before hammering and be careful not to break one of your nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSkywatcher Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Make sure you paint the nails before hammering and be careful not to break one of your nails.Obviously. I didnt spend all that money on my nails just to break them off with a little light hammering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooot Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think there was a time when baby boys were dressed in pink and girls in blue. Extract fro wiki below. Interesting how things change.Some date the origin of the association of pink with girls in the United States to the 1910s[18] or 1920s.[19] Many have noted the contrary association of pink with boys in 20th-century America. An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: [20][21][22][23]The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.

Mr Spock Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Pink is vital for graphic artists. 255,0,255 , or 'magic pink', is transparent in many programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
