No it's a CD. It's not as if you're in Outer Mongolia. I have loads of saved up jiffybags still from the days of burning MLTCds, and I think I can spare the postage to East Sussex.

Yeah, about 5 minutes after I posted my comments, I thought, Doh..! OK, PM me your details again, and I'll get the software off to you. I wouldn't stop looking for some better software, but you never know, you might find it entirely suitable.

Why didn't you use DVD Shrink in the first place Will, or did you specifially want the files converted to AVI..? I have some old, if rather slow software I can send you, if you like, which converts DVD files down to whatever size you can get away with. When it works well, the results are very good indeed, and make for a fair comparison to the original.

I have an inflammation on my arm. Bloody annoying. Welcome back Saint Keith.

Sorry Dog, I couldn't help but lol a bit, because I was just thinking how nice and tasty a roast chicken would be when I read that line. The thought struck me of Roast Chicken, Kids, Potatoes, Greens and Gravy. As it happens, I know someone who wants to start up a chicken run, so I might come back on this one.

So it turns out to be 20 Muslims who responded to a 20,000 letter drop to the Muslim community. Oh yeah, like we should be so f****** worried. If ever there was a storm in a teacup. So as usual for the Daily Mail reader, several people do something they might be frightened about [because if you aren't, the Daily Mail will make damn sure you are] and all Muslims are condemned. Just where did this beacon of a tolerant society start to go awry..? What next..? Catholics in NI..?

Olympic, isn't it just the easiest thing to peer at the motherboard until you have the manufacturer and model nos, and go to that manufacturers website to find out the specs for that old board..? Unless you have an obscure M/B [and there are plenty] you'll probably find your answer there.

Andy McKee - Tight Trite Night

This morning started with: Andy McKee - The Friend I Never Met Andy McKee - Drifting

Last night ended with: The Prime Movers - Strong As I Am Shreikback - Coelacanth Shreikback - This Big Hush Shreikback - Evaporation Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vida Red 7 - Hearbeat

A middle-man with no need for there to be one. If there were no ticket touts, there would be just tickets available at face value until they ran out. Nobody would be paying over the odds, and nobody would get ripped off. I see absolutely no point in a ticket tout, other than to make money for him or herself. I'd make it an offence with a custodial sentence. Sorry Stu.

Jeff, go here. Sometimes we're not the fount of all knowledge. The company that made the thing certainly will be. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/popup/howToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=1123&type=harddiskdrives Notice how Vista might be getting its knickers in a twist..?

I'm just illustrating that I'll give you the time of day, mate. I wouldn't do that much for Jacko. He can afford his own watch.

21.45. There you go Ponty.

Yes, the finally bit did grate somewhat with me too. There's been no finally in this division. We've only been here 5 mnutes, and already we're not quite good enough for it.

I can only give a pure reaction, having known nothing of the match except the result on my return from my sailing club meeting. Gutted. Absolutely gutted. Again..! F*****g well AGAIN Saints have let me down. I would cut real people out of my life if they let me down as much as Southampton FC has done. I just let myself have a tiny weeny glimpse of hope, and they destroy it. They're going down, and it's all so bloody unnecessary. I will ween myself off supporting this club if it kills me.

You mean the last 6 months have been a dream..? Finally I can empathise with Pam Ewing.

I've done a few enquiries before, and I'm sure it said Diesel, where appropriate then. Besides, Google Heavy Oil and Diesel together, and they don't pop up in every answer like you'd think they would.

Just did a vehicle enquiry on that registration and the DVLA category Fuel Type for this car is Heavy Oil...? QI.

That's 90 degrees Jeff. i.e - | - and not \ | / [that's as close an illustration of 45 degees as I could quickly get]

Steve was making an important information post, and this came in reply. And I lolled. Oh dear. :smt083

Hopefully, that was written tongue-in-cheek. Otherwise, I'd delete it. TMS may break many normal rules but there are limits.

Can see where where you are coming from Panda. Actully Beatts was one, but you're right. If we dip the sights to a reliable 15+ goals per season, then people's opinions on the loan outs obtain a little more weight. Playing them regularly and providing them with the right service, Rasiak, John and Saga are all easily capable of 15+ goals per season. Thankfully, we have one of them back.

Presumably, that's only if other people have it, and not yourself.

Oh come on. I have the misfortune of being old enough to have witnessed these on the TV, when they were at their individual heights of popularity. They appealed to their own set of admirers, but they were no better, nor worse than today's comedians. For example, anyone can tire of Dawson, with his working class woman's boob nudge, or his playing of a tune on the piano intentionally badly. Morecombe and Wise often fell into a set routine that was popular but predictable. Benny Hill's comedy was seaside humour for the TV, and was as outdated as a kiss-me-quick hat. Harry Worth...? Well, actually I'm struggling to think whether he was actually that funny, with The Goons and Tony Hanco ck, around as rivals. As kids though, I think we all did his little shop window trick, at least once. Norman Wisdom has never illicited more than a titter from me, as his humour harks back to the silent movie days, and they did it better then. Although in retrospect, his manic shouts for Mr Grimsdale produce a smile. Frankie Howard was possibly the best of these, as his stand-up humour never actually included many set jokes per se, and bridged a gap to modern day comedy. Basically, once Spike Milligan went to TV with his Q series and There's A Lot Of It About, the comedic form changed almost completely, and actually inspired Monty Python and all that came afterwards. The old school comics became as dead as dinosaurs almost overnight. All of the emerging comedians, who differed from the traditional, owe the old Milligna [the well known typing error] a huge debt, really. Perhaps you should have mentioned The Two Ronnies aswell.
