St Landrew

Of course you can.

Bet you got a leg-up with Scummer's and My mistake. :mad:

Discovered a virus on a client's PC yesterday, called bolivar19.exe which has been lurking around Facebook. Tread carefully peeps.

Same here; 8/10. I got the eMac [easy mistake. Don't know Apples well] and the IBM Portable PC5155 wrong. Could have sworn that machine was a Compaq. Just checked the pictures. No wonder..! Here's the Compaq in close up: And here's the IBM: Add in a bit of brain-fade, and you get a mistake.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Matt. http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=1049

Last two races of the season coming up. There's this one and Valencia in Spain. It's another of those moments for people who like to watch their sport in the small hours: Sunday 19 October 125cc & 250cc races 0350-0605, BBC Red Button and BBC Sport website Race live 0645-0800, BBC ONE and BBC Sport website Race repeat 1145-1300, BBC Red Button and BBC Sport website 0140-0240, BBC TWO Thank you Auntie. Rossi may have won his championship, but the racing will be fast and furious, with no quarter given, as always. I've found that many MotoGP riders just don't know the meaning of 90%, and it makes for great viewing.

Whilst I, myself have cited events which led to the relegation and therefore, the decline in Saints fortunes, it should not be forgotten that since relegation and his removal, Rupert Lowe has waited his chance to undermine those in the driving seat. Yes, there has been misplaced money, and belief placed on people who were not upto the job - Burley was who's appointment..? But not every error in the financial sense, in fact not even most errors can be placed outside Leon Crouch's door. LC did what he could, in the best way he knew how. He was not the first SFC chairman found wanting. I defended RL the other day, but he's by no means clear of blame for Saints decline. And it would be a good idea if people stopped for a short while to sort the rumour from the logic and the fact, and get a few things into perspective. Saints have declined because they have been cheapskate when it mattered most to spend money. Saints have always had a tendancy to be cheapskate. It's why they didn't win the League in 1980, but came 7th. It's why Lawrie left to go elsewhere in the mid 80's, and it's why they didn't build on the success of WGS. They didn't do a Leeds. They didn't leave the Premiership kicking and fighting to stay in. They left it without a murmur. Whenever it has been the right time for the Saints board to do their jobs, they've been found wanting. And a lot of good professionals have had to take the blame instead. Saints have simply lacked ambition when it was almost easier to succeed.

Have you considered a Fiat 500 towing another one. 8 people accommodated..! Excellent mpg too.

As usual, it depends on the quality you want. Tbh, you could pay way below £100 and consider it adequate, or way over any figure you care to name and call it crap. Be specific on price mate.

Murray was the man who started the commentator's curse. Ever since him, commentators refer to it.

Same here. But I also find it more disturbing that people should want to explore what makes them wince. We never get a thread on here about which films make people feel really good about themselves or uplifted, or positive. Of course, because we'd get about 3 replies, and what is disturbing in itself, is that violence is more attractive to people than beauty.

No, let's not start a new takeover thread. Let's be in a new position of not having a takeover thread going when there actually is a takeover going through; rather than having a takeover thread going, when there is no takover going through. This is NOT a takeover thread.

They don't race 'em like this anymore. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v_DDAzAjxM4 Hilarious.

Ooh boy. So much agenda. I didn't say the guy was a Saint. I just said he was a reasonably good person.

He might do that, but I believe Jamie is actually a reasonably good person. Even if I did have someone in mind, and I don't, he certainly wouldn't be the person. EDIT: Mind you, his Missus is as close as a woman gets to being an arsehole IMO. So maybe...

Agreed.

I travel around a lot less in my car because of high petrol prices. I think twice about jaunting off to places like Cornwall in the car because of petrol prices. It's not that I can't afford them, it's that one puts a value on what one does. Going to Cornwall and back, for a weekend break is a damned sight more expensive than sailing to the the IOW and having a weekend there. Less fun for more money. It's a no-brainer. If they were cheaper, I probably wouldn't think twice. In effect, for people like me, high petrol prices are better for the environment.

That is seriously pathetic. You should have no problem watching iPlayer even with 2mb. I can do it with my piddling 512k with little problems, if I'm not watching during peak browsing hours. You need to have a word with Virgin Tech Support, because you certainly aren't getting anything like the value/speed you should be getting. In fact, I'd stop paying, or at least threaten to, until it's sorted.

Thanks BTF. So Mano in Greek is similar to some other euro-mediterranean languages.

So would I, but I didn't say Pay, I said Charge. Pay attention mate.

Mine's non-existent. I was sent a text message by a mate sailing around the Greek Islands. He asked me the meaning of Oikey [his spelling], which I think is NO; and Mano, which I have no idea, other than what it might be in Italian or Spanish, etc... Anyone have any idea..? Online Greek dictionaries are obviously in the Greek alphabet, which doesn't help much.

That's vying for the most sensible thing anyone has said all day.

Well at least you guys have lightened up a bit.

If I go anywhere around the BBC Sport websites, after a few pages my connection speed drops like a stone. Now that's definitely odd.

Now there's a link which I've just made worse..!
